Three years after auditioning for "American Idol," a former contestant revealed judge Katy Perry continues to haunt him in his dreams.

Adriel Carrion auditioned for the popular singing competition when he was 18 and took to TikTok to share a moment that triggered him for years.

While auditioning for season 19, Carrion posted a video clip of the "Teenage Dream" singer announcing "we have officially banned everyone from singing ‘Watermelon Sugar.'"

After "American Idol" judge Lionel Richie asked the auditioners what song they were going to sing next, Carrion and fellow contestant Anthony Guzman prepared for a "sweet" duet.
