Totally Katy Perry. She knows a lot about the music industry!
well i am a huge fan of miley cyrus and i believe she would make an excelent judge she has lots of experence and she is sucha great role modle for young and older types of people :)
i wish avril lavigne were one of the choices. i think she would do well and i would get more into the show. but lets face it i will watch it anyway because its a tradition for me, iv watched it every year sense i was 7.i would not watch it though if nicki or will i am was a new one. because of auto tune, like heather said. i would love adam katy and avril, but i dont think avril will be doing it :( so miley would be my next choice.
I'm not particularly a fan of Miley, but I think with as much experience as she has in the music industry that she'd be one of the better choices. She's also brutally honest, which is something the seasons have lacked since Simon's departure in 2010. I think Miley would be a good choice. I don't know how I feel about Adam. I feel like since he knows the experience he might be a bit too nice to the contestants, which a lot of people, me anyway, are tired of seeing. I don't know much about him to fully make a judgement, though. If they hire Nicki Minaj, Fergie, or Will.I.Am I'll stop watching forever. Nothing against them, but they all use autotune, which the contestants on Idol do not have the luxury of. I have an issue seeing them as "talented." I would choose Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus, probably.
I think gene Simon would be perfect he has more years at this with loseing j lo n Steven taylor I'm hoping it's still worth watching what about jason aldean he sing all music n sexy to boot
