Sweet, motherly Paula Abdul, she's not -- but should American Idol need a snarky replacement after Simon Cowell leaves, the show shouldn’t look any further than last night's guest judge, rocker Katy Perry.

The I Kissed A Girl singer was a strong panelist on Tuesday evening's tryout show, displaying the swagger and musical know-how that's made her one of  brightest young artists in the industry. Perry, fittingly, ran Hot 'N' Cold, directing plenty of chills toward judge Kara DioGuardi, even threatening to toss a soda in her face at one point.

Perry showed plenty of Simon-esque 'tude toward hopeful Chris Golightly, telling him that despite his sad back story (he grew up in a foster home), “This is not a Lifetime movie, sweetheart... you have to have talent.”

Luckily for Golightly, Katy still gave him the thumbs up. Hey, the girl runs hot and cold, we told ya.

Why was Kara attempting to act all ghetto? Very pathetic.

I found her to be unnecessarily rude to Kara. Her looks remind me of someone out of of 1920's movie; she has an old-fashioned type of beauty, IMO.

Katy Perry is a rude little girl trying to play grownup - She adds absolutely NOTHING to the show and has NO class whatsoever!! Bring Mary J Blige back - at least she offered constructive criticism.

They should hire Katy Perry and fire that annoying Kara lady. She bounces and sways around like an idiot very distracting. I'm not crazy about Ellen either. I'm sure Idol will never be the same w/o Simon and Paula.

LOVED Katie Perry. Kara not so much, she has about 4 different things she alternates as comments and never seems to pay attention to anything but how she can get camera time.

I must admit, it was a better show last night! Kara is boring and she's always doing that moving and swaying and it's tiring to watch.
