anticoronaperson Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Recently on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she had guests Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul. Kelly Clarkson asked them if they would ever consider being judges on American Idol again. Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson both said they would be open to being judges on American Idol again if Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest were also on board with the idea as well. So Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson want in. Now we would just need Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest to say yes and then we can go back to making super stars again. Their answer to Kelly Clarkson's question starts at the 3:12 mark of the video. Edited January 21, 2021 by anticoronaperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sick of the nostalgic love for those 3 imperfect judges... the original three or the current three? Oh I'm realizing that you're referring to the original three because you used the term nostalgic. Yeah I get what you're saying. I just found it interesting that after all these years, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson would want to be judges on American Idol again.

The music industry is vastly different now. Both Paula and Simon have not watched the show in years. Simon knows he would never get away with his antics of shamming contestants today. He's very "pc' on America's Got Talent. Edited January 21, 2021 by mytake1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cowell has grown and doesn’t insult people on America’s Got Talent. So I don’t know if one can really say that he would go back to his old ways if he were to judge American Idol again. I do get overall what you’re saying though and I respect your opinion. I mean who are we to say that Simon Cowell can't be a good judge on American Idol if he doesn't insult or shame contestants for the way they sing.

Social media and streaming. The erosion of network TV ratings. The single biggest source of new music talent today is TikTok.

I see. i just meant if that's the case, then why is Gabby Barrett the only one from the ABC version of American Idol who is being recognized and making a name for herself. Is it possible that if more of the contestants from the ABC version of American Idol started out on Tik Tok, then they would be instantly recognized too?

anticoronaperson Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 They also said that Kelly Clarkson should be a part of the show American Idol. I think they probably mean that she should be the fourth American Idol judge. So it would be Ryan Seacrest as the host and Paula Abdul, Kelly Clarkson, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson as the judges. Bobby Bones would still probably be the American Idol mentor for the contestants. I don't know how Kelly Clarkson would be able to be a judge on American Idol, be a coach on The Voice, and be a talk show host on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The ratings for network tv in general are awful compared to even just a few years ago. When Idol was launching stars on the regular, a typical episode could reach 20 million viewers and the finale 25-30 million. Have you seen the recent ratings? Spoiler: They stink. I’m not saying no one from Idol can do well in the industry like Gabby has.. The show obviously casts talented people. I’m saying that they can’t expect to make it BECAUSE of Idol. It’s no longer enough to launch them. Edited January 21, 2021 by AngelaKD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratings are relative. They stink compared to the past. They’re decent compared to the competition. Like I said, network tv is in overall decline.

anticoronaperson Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 I got an idea for a number of films. What if each of the American Idol finalists had a main role in a movie where they played a famous singer. So Jennifer Hudson is already going to be Aretha Franklin in an upcoming film. Kelly Clarkson - It would be interesting to see her play either Stevie Nicks or Madonna. Carrie Underwood - It would be interesting to see her play either Dolly Parton or Loretta Lynn. Chris Daughtry - It would be interesting to see him play Gene Simmons or Billy Joel. Adam Lambert - It would be interesting to see him play Steven Tyler or Jim Morrison.

anticoronaperson Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 It will be great having Bobby Bones back this season. He's a great and fun mentor for the contestants. Also, he's so smart, funny, and full of wisdom. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
