Despite getting a standing ovation from the other judges and the crowd, Perry’s subdued demeanor was chastised on social media by fans.

Some people criticized Perry’s demeanor, wondering why she remained emotionless at such a moving occasion. Others defended Perry, saying she was brought to tears and didn’t want to reveal it on television. Whatever the cause, the incident split followers and ignited a social media discussion.
