On American Idol, Catie Turner teamed up with Katy Perry on an incredibly beautiful duet of “Part Of Me” for the finale. Last night, Turner made a triumphant return to the stage after being eliminated two weeks ago. The quirky singer performed her original song “21st Century Machine,” which went viral after her initial audition, in front of the live studio audience and judges Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
