Katy Perry's Cape Crusade -- The Coverup

Katy Perry crossed the line when she showed favoritism for "American Idol" favorite Adam Lambert last week -- and unless you DVR'd the live show, you'll never see her pink Glambert cape again.

Katy Perry: Click to view!

If you go on iTunes and purchase Katy's performance from last week's "Idol", the closeup of her silk Glambert billboard has been altered -- you can't even tell there's writing on the cape.

The rest of the video is exactly the same -- we put the two different versions side-by-side so you can see.

Fox and iTunes both declined to comment.

33. I am SOOO sick of Adam Lambert and ALL the unfair attention he gets from the judges and the media, and now from Katy Perry. He screams and is SOOO conceited. The judges praise him for being indulgent, but get on the other contestants for being indulgent. They praise him for screaming and wailing into the mike. Even the producers are in on it....have you noticed how every performance of his is over the top with lighting, camera angles, etc. If Adam wins, AI can expect to lose me as a viewer for next season. Kris all the way!

34. TO::: #23.Posted at 9:36AM on May 18th 2009 by jabba_____Jamie Foxx did say his favorite was Kris and that he *swooned* over him and wanted to make a record with him! Adam is my favorite but that didn't bother me, why can't people show their preferences? Why do we always have to be so PC all the time? AND TO THE REAL DEAL::: You think because Katy Perry wears a silly cape with Adam's name on it people will not vote for him? LOL! You are delusional dear.

36. Everyone seems to be missing the biggest story about this year's final. Adam and Kris are friends, and fans worked hard to get the "Kradam Final". But why doesn't this story get covered? I guess that having two competitors and their fan bases supporting each other, doesn't sell many papers or drive a lot of hits.

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have gone out of there way to tell us that they are friends and support each other. When Kris went to his Arkansas homecoming, he prominently wore Adam's blue nail polish on his thumb to show his support of Adam. Adam went home to San Diego with one bare fingernail to show his support of Kris. I believe Kris captured it best in a backstage interview after the final results were announced: "...over the last several weeks, we've been roommates and have become fast friends... No matter the outcome, we’ve both already won."

That's Kris, straight-forward and to the point -- "We've both already won'"

As contestants have left the show this year, there has been one consistent refrain -- We helped each other. I got that song suggestion from Kris. Adam helped me decide which to do. Matt gave me the idea. And so on. My personal favorate was when Alison appeared on the Top 4 show with great hair (for the first time), and told the audience the "Adam hooked me up with his girl" and see did an awesome job with my hair.

I am tired of the press and online bloggers working so hard to make it seem like this is the "cultural clash of the century". I am tired of passionate fans believing that tearing down the other guy is the way to support the fav.

ENOUGH ALREADY. GIVE IT A REST.

I think it's time to celebrate the upcoming competition as one of the rarest kind -- a competition between two people who respect and support each other. May the best singer and performer win.

Also, Kris Allen previously recorded TWO albums. Wonder why they failed.

38. What is more unfair, Katy’s cape or the media frenzy that Adam has had to face over his private sex life. I think a lot of people including Simon believe that Adam deserves to win because of his talent and performances. Many in the media want to derail Adam because of the bigotry that still raises it’s ugly head in this country. Kris is not being judged on his singing alone, he is being voted for by the bigots in an anti Adam vote. The so-called “Christians” do not care if they steal this title from the man who deserves it. To me they are no more moral then the thief at the convenience store with a gun.

39. I thought it was very wrong of her. I wouldnt buy one of Adam's CD's, he screams too much.

40. I saw this and found it extremely BIAS and TACKY!! She had no reason to boast of her choice for this competition.. I hope people vote for Kris now JUST IN SPITE of what she has done!

This is much like those celebrities whom were in the TANK for Barack Obama when the campaigns were happening! YOU ARE CELEBS, KEEP YOUR POLITICAL OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!!! DO WHAT YOU'RE PAID TO DO AND "ENTERTAIN" US!! I don't rent particular movies, or buy particular music anymore because of the campaign bias. Katy Perry just got added to the list..

NOW all the LIBS come out of the woodwork saying she is ENTITLED to HER OPINION.. bet these same EXTREMIST were crucifying Ms. Prejean for HER OPINION when asked that stupid question SHE was asked!!

42. I saw this and first thought "oh Katy isn't getting enough attention- here she goes with her contoversial moment.. THEN I thought how BIAS and TACKY!!?

She had no motive what-so-ever for doing that other than ATTENTION!! I truly hope KRIS wins this thing now just to SPITE her and others like her! And for Jamie Foxx to have been a "mentor" on this show was competely rediculous and uncooth! Rediculous because who is Jamie Foxx to teach OTHERS to SING??? This guy sucks at both musical talent AND acting,.. c'mon!! And UNCOOTH because just the week before on his radio show he and his cast of RACIST decided to verbally ATTACK a TEENAGE GIRL- Miley Cyrus!!? Hear much BACKLASH from that? Media sure didn't LABEL HIM a RACIST now did they? Nothing even REMOTELY close to the treatment Don Imus or Michael Richards got!!? UTTER SHAMEFUL AND COMPLETE DOUBLE STANDARD!!!

Katy doing this is much like those CELEBS in the TANK for Barack Obama during the election campaign. I say to the celebs,.. shut the hell up and actually ENTERTAIN us like you're PAID to do. We don't really care about your politcal OPINION or AGENDAS!! I'm willing to BET that those on this forum belly-aching that Katy and the others are "entitled to their opinion" are the same ones ready to crucify Ms. Prejean for her honest OPINION when asked such a stupid question on the Miss USA Pageant?? LIKELY..

43. She might be able to kick Robin's butt but Batman will bring the beat-down on her caped azz!

44. Why can't Perry root for her favorite idol? We ALL have a favorite idol every season! Ridiculous story. This story wouldn't even be publish if she would have had Kris's name on it. Ridiculous.
