You weren't fooling anyone Ryan Seacrest by pretending you were backstage with Jacob and Stefano after Katy Perry and Kanye West's performance of 'E.T.' We've seen enough of these 'American Idol' (Thu., 8PM ET on FOX) to know a pre-recorded segment when we see it.Or how about the fact that the audience was deathly quiet when they cut to the trio backstage. They were just cheering raucously at the conclusion of Perry's memorable performance, as well as West's mid-song appearance.
When the number began with a clip of West rapping from the 'E.T.' video, we weren't sure if he was going to be on hand, but he showed up later to bring his signature style to the hit single.
Rocking a unique style of her own was Perry herself. While she wasn't decked out nearly as "alien" as in the music video for the single, she and her backing dancers certainly had plenty of visual flair.
In fact, Perry's performance factor was something the contestants would be good to pay attention to. She's not a great dancer, and in fact settled for being carted around the stage on a strange wheeled platform, but she knows how to keep her performances interesting and engaging.
