Stevie On American Idol

I keep reading that Stevie and Kelly Clarkson are the top names suggested on the internet to replace Jennifer Lopez as a judge on Idol. It is a lucrative gig and has turned out to be a great career move for J-Lo. In fact, I think she has landed at the top of Forbes' list for the year, according to the list that came out and a lot of her income was boosted by the American Idol exposure she got.

Mick and FM better hope that doesn't happen, because while seeing Stevie on Idol might get more people to buy tickets for a concert, it would give her a whole lot less time to tour. So, when she squeezed performances into her schedule, those dates would probably be Stevie solo, not with FM.

So many of the contestants said she was a great mentor. I could see her name coming up in serious judge discussions among the producers. Although, in the end they probably want to go with a female performer with more prominence than Stevie has today.
