Jelly Roll’s career is on a roll, and now the singer found himself a new job.
After a successful appearance on American Idol last year, the singing competition has asked him back. Not for one episode, but several!
Roll will be the first Artist in Residence. According to Variety, that means he will be “a permanent fixture this season and will work closely with the Idol hopefuls, giving them firsthand advice on how to navigate the journey.”
The Grammy winner is going to Hollywood, as in that is the first time we will see him this season.
Jelly is not the only new person on the long-running show. Carrie Underwood went from being a contestant on season 4 to being a judge on season 23.
So, I have to wonder if they brought him on because she is not working out, so they are bringing him in to give the program some excitement. Either that, or are Lionel Richie and/or Luke Bryan thinking of retiring from the series after this season like Katy Perry did last year?
