Like it or not, I’m an American Idol fan…most of the time. The big upset for this upcoming season has been the departure of the say-it-like-it-is judge, Simon Cowell. I don’t think anyone was too surprised to hear that Ellen DeGeneres was close behind. So that leaves the Big “Dawg” Randy Jackson. And of course the big question on everyone’s mind--who’s going to replace Simon and Ellen? Today I hear that Jennifer Lopez signed a 12-million-dollar deal to be a judge. That doesn’t seem like her. Guess I figured she’d hold out for more money. Rumor has it Steven Tyler is filling the third chair.
I’m definitely not against J Lo as a judge. She obviously has years of experience in the music industry to bring to the table. But is she too nice? I somehow can’t picture her saying, “That was absolutely dreadful.” Or, “Don’t quit your day job at the karaoke bar.” I don’t know much about Steven Tyler other than his success with Aerosmith…well, and that he has an enormous mouth (sorry, but every time I see him on TV, all I can think is “My, what a big mouth you have!”). Would he make a good judge? Maybe. But are they all going to be a bunch of mother hens afraid to hurt the kids’ feelings? Please, leave the “That a boy” and “You go girl” pep talks for the real moms.
Someone has to step up and say what we’re all thinking. After all, in the end only one person can go “Rockin’ on Top of the World.”
Will you be watching this upcoming season?
Who would you pick to be the 4th judge?
