Katy Perry has proven herself the one to watch on ABC’s reboot of reality singing competition, ‘American Idol.’

The series, barely four episodes in, has already seen the ‘Chained to the Rhythm’ songstress linked to multiple controversies aboard the show – most notably an instance where she uncomfortably kissed a contestant without his consent.

As the album is reportedly due this month, Banks took to Instagram to not only remind followers of what to expect, but also to inform about her position in the game overall.  Her comments – as always – got some tongues seriously wagging, especially when she commented on her influence of fellow femcees.
