It’s looking like the phenomenon of “American Idol” is coming to an end. After a two consecutive years of lagging ratings, it’s been announced that judges Ellen Degeneres and Kara DioGuardi are out. But could current music pariah Jennifer Lopez be stepping in as a judge?
Deadline.com reports that Lopez has officially inked a deal to join “Idol” and that the announcement was being kept under wraps until DeGeneres’ exit was made public. According to the site, Lopez’s manager Benny Medina set up a meeting with “Idol” producers and the singer’s camp has been negotiating the deal for about a month. Entertainment website Gossip Cop also reported that a source close to the show confirms that both Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler have been offered spots on the judging panel.
A rep for “American Idol” declined to confirm or deny the rumor to MTV News and only offered “no comment.” A representative for Lopez did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment at press time.
Listen, I stopped watching AI years ago. In my opinion the show has lost its luster. And to add pop star Jennifer Lopez, who couldn’t hit a proper note if her life depended on it, proves the show is wrap.
Think I’m hating?
Just hit the play button.
Im sorry but this chick couldn’t judge me at all with vocals like this.
