On Monday night, Paula Abdul filled in for Luke Bryan, who has COVID-19, on American Idol. Not only was she reunited with Ryan Seacrest, but Randy Jackson called it in. While she was speaking to her old co-judge, she called Simon Cowell “The STD.”
What does that mean? Is she saying he is like herpes and he won’t go away. Nope. The singer told Entertainment Tonight that STD means “Sexy. Talented. Debonair.”
Luke Bryan found out the hard way that margaritas do not kill coronavirus. That is because he tested positive for it.
“I’m sad to say I won’t be a part of tonight’s first live @AmericanIdol show,” Bryan wrote. “I tested positive for COVID but I’m doing well and look forward to being back at it soon.”
Since the show must go on, it will. “Luke will be missed at our first #AmericanIdol LIVE show tonight, but he is resting now in quarantine at home and we’re wishing him a speedy recovery,” American Idol wrote in a statement. “We’re so excited to announce @paulaabdul will be stepping in as a guest judge to join Lionel Richie and Katy Perry as we get closer to crowning a new winner!”
Abdul was the first judge to leave the singing competition when it was on Fox. It will be interesting to see how much things have changed since she left the show in 2009.
I am so curious about how Abdul will do. I might actually watch it. Are you going to check it out too?
Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan are hard at work on American Idol. Each of the judges needs a golf cart to get around, so the show customized it for them.
The R&B legend’s came with an afro, a mustache, sunglasses, and a vanity place that reads “hello.” While the Country star’s came with a nautical theme and plate that says “gon fishing.” Both are perfect for them.
I wonder what Katy Perry’s looks like. I bet it is loud, with a bullhorn, just like her.
There were rumors that Claudia Conway auditioned for American Idol, and tonight ABC confirmed it. Will she make her parents, George and Kellyanne Conway, proud? We will have to tune in to find out.
Am I the only one hoping the teen makes it to Hollywood? I think she needs some time away from her parents.
Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie have been judges on American Idol for four seasons now. That makes me wonder if they know each other’s songs. It turns out the Country singer knows the Motown one’s hit Hello.
Why do we know this? Because Bryan sang it as he opened the gift that Richie got him. Which was the Commodore singer’s cologne.
That is really cheap. I mean, giving someone something from your own product line is worse than a regift. Most people won’t know that their gift was given to the giver by another person. However, everyone will know when it is your item because it has your face and name on it.
Good thing for the boys that they are boys or Katy Perry would give them her shoes.
Back to the boys, now I want to hear Richie sing Bryan’s One Margarita while drinking one. Then the two of them can go party all night, all night long.
