Although I think Bret Michaels would be good as a mentor, I think Harry Connick Jr would be great as the next judge. He was probably the best mentor they have had to date. He really took the time to work with each performer.

yeah, but how many times is america ready to hear awesome? he says the same thing almost every interview. if he could intake some more vocabulary words, i'd vote for him. i love the guy to death, have seen poison a hundred times, but i dont think he would last very long with his limited vocabulary skills.

I think Bret is a good singer. But as for a judge No way. He would get too distracted by trying to pick up on the lady contestants. He's too horny.

Bret would make a womderful addition to Amercian Idol......and I do adore him as a musician. Between Bret, Randy and Kara, since they all know alot about music, I think next years AI is going to be fantastic... i know that me and my hubby wil be watching it...

Don't leave out Kara. She has been there and done that. Bret would be a great addition.
