So shortly after Paula Abdul Tweeted that she was not returning to American Idol, two Fox executives (Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly) said they were going to replace her with a female pop star. Then today the
LA times reported that Kelly Clarkson and Joe Jonas are joining Posh Spice, Mary J Blige, Katy Perry and Shania Twain as a few of the people who will be sitting in her chair for at least one audition date for American Idol 9. Which makes me wonder when did Joe Jonas become a female pop star because I always thought he was a guy? I can just imagine all the girls under 19 screeching when they come in the room and see him there and their auditions going to crap because of it. It is almost cruel for them to make him a judge for them and us. And yes the Jonas Brothers have sold a bunch of CDs, but does that make him qualified to judge to potential singers when he is only 20? Is his ear that in tune and does he have enough music knowledge to judge them, and the same goes for Katy Perry who so far is a one album wonder?
BTW I wonder how Nick and Kevin feel about it. I mean why Joe and not them? Wouldn’t it be hot if it caused a riff in their band because he got to do the show and they didn’t and they replace him with Bonus Jonas. Wait did I just give that that much thought?
Back to Kelly Clarkson, she is the best name I have seen so far to sit in the chair. What do you think of the people they have confirmed thus far?
