After 4 months of searching, American Idol finally has its three judges. They are Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
With that it is the same old, and that is a bad thing. The Voice has current hitmakers and American Idol has hasbeens. Well not Luke Bryan, but Katy who is on the decline and Richie who has not had a hit since before most of the contestants were born. I mean, he was old when I was kid and that was a long time ago. I like him, but how many contestants are going to tell him my grandmother loves your music? When it comes to Perry, the contestants will like her, but the viewers will not. She will be loud, annoying and make it all about her. Richie and her will fight to see who can talk more as Bryan play the ref who does not get to say much. Sad part is, he will probably say the best things.
Will the judging panel help the show be a sucess on its new home? Hell no! They needed someone younger. They should have tried to get a past American Idol contestant like Chris Daughtry or Clay Aiken to be a judge. Someone who has been through this and would be able to give great advice about how they are going to screw you over after you win. But that is a whole other story.
What do think of these three judges? Does it make you want to watch or switch the channel?
BTW all three of them will be on Good Morning America on Wednesday. Let’s see how they interact together and decide then how awful this is going to be.
