The video of Katy Perry's performance from last Wednesday's episode of "American Idol" is now available for download on iTunes.

But according to TMZ.com, one thing you won't see in the video is Adam Lambert's name embroidered into the cape Perry wore at the top of her performance of "Waking Up in Vegas."

Perry sent the blogosphere into an uproar last week with the cape, which apparently declared her choice of who should be the next "American Idol" winner. At the time of her performance, the remaining contestants were Lambert, Kris Allen and Danny Gokey.

Gokey was eliminated that night, setting up the first part of the "AI" season finale tonight between Lambert and Allen.

In a video at TMZ, the edited version is shown side-by-side with the original one.

Where the camera shows Lambert's name in the original, the edited video shows a shot so far away from Perry you couldn't tell there is writing on the cape.

The video runs $1.49 at the iTunes store.
