Idol Alum Say Stevie Should Be New Judge!

[Fannymac]

In a recent interview, both Colton Dixon and winner Phillip Phillips said Stevie should be the new judge on Idol. Both guys said she was their favorite mentor, having done her homework the most, caring about the kids.....I doubt she would commit, but VERY cool!!

[StandbackStevie]

That is really cool to hear.

[KDelongpre]

If they make her an offer I hope she throws it in the trash. Nice of those boys tho!

[StandbackStevie]

I agree I really don't want to see her as a judge on there because the show is so long past its prime they do really need to cancel Idol.I can't stand watching it.

Mariah Is Not Going To Bring New Viewers To This Has Been Show

[Jondalar]

I think the Mariah and people of her caliber are not what the show needs. They need something different.

[AnthonyMI]

In the last 10 years. the ONLY episode of AI I have watched was the one with Stevie.

I am guessing that Stevie will be the nicest judge ever and FAR from what the producers want. She won't say anything mean, contrived or sassy. She will be nice and loving and think everyone is great and blow them kisses and hugs. That type of stuff does not sell commercial time. Drugs, breakdowns, fights and bitchyness sells commercial time. If they REALLY want the sparks to fly they will hire Stevie AND Lindsey and sit them opposite Randy Jackson and it will be a HIT.

[Jondalar]

if they cast Stevie, it would be a bold choice, maybe one that would draw real music fans in, she's different

[UndoingTheLaces]

But if she took the gig it would mean no Fleetwood Mac tour or recording and would probably keep her from making a new album. I'd be totally against that.

[KDelongpre]

^yeah absolutely. I'd rather she tour/record with the guys, or make another album down the line than waste her time on that show. Steven Tyler was kinda-sorta over fighting with his band when he finally took his seat as a judge, and their new album has taken forever in part because he was so busy with the show.

Forgot Mariah had signed lol. She and Stevie would be so random!

I totally agree. She would be awesome on here....and it would bring her alot of new fans.....I know many of the young girls still see her has this cool witchy icon........BUT, we would probably get no new music. 1 season on Idol would probably mean another 5 years for a new collection of music. no no no.

Like I said in the "Nashville" thread, with all of the voice problems she's been having with singing lately, Stevie might want to take a break from touring and become one of the new American Idol judges for Season 12.

With all the voice problems she's been having lately, A long Fleetwood Mac tour may be out of the question.

Yes, she will!!!! She's a legend!!!!!!! Look at her catalog. Plus, unlike JLO, Mariah actually wrote her songs.

[johnnystorms]

the Idol gig (though i know it won't happen), wouldn't preclude recording music. she could record before or after the show. it's only 2 hours.
