Katy Perry’s departure from American Idol has not yet happened, but her fellow judges have already compiled their «list» of candidates to replace the 39-year-old pop star. Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and host Ryan Seacrest spoke about who they would like to see at the judges' table in the next season during a new interview.
During the episode on Monday, April 22, Meghan Trainor appeared as an advisor for the contestants. Luke, 47, told Entertainment Tonight that the performer of the hit «All About That Bass» would definitely be a strong candidate to replace Katy.
«I think Meghan has always been very fun», - the country singer said, admitting that he also has 10 other names in mind. «You know, it has always been her style to be fun. She’s very witty, so definitely».
Ryan, 49, also expressed support for Meghan, noting that she «shared her knowledge very well with the contestants».
«Megan is also super talented, and she has a great sense of humor», - emphasized the host. «She's fun and spontaneous».
As for Lionel, 74, he emphasized that Katy’s replacement should have a sense of humor but not have an «ego».
«It should be fun, but without ego. Because we will offend each other so much», - Lionel joked. «And when you’re with Luke, he doesn’t even notice that he’s killing you».
The «Endless Love» artist then revealed which two major musicians are on his list: American Idol contestant Kelly Clarkson and international superstar Taylor Swift.
«I have my list, but Kelly, if you have nothing else, I would like to mention it», - Lionel added. «I'm a big fan. Oh, and by the way, Taylor, if you’re free, we would like to see you. Call me!»
Earlier this month, Katy spoke about who she would like to see as the next judge. Instead of naming a fellow singer, she pointed to country singer Jelly Roll.
«I have to say, Jelly Roll was crazy when he came on the show», - Katy told E! News on April 16. «I believed everything he said. He could run for president, he could be my pastor, I could go back to church because of him. He could sell me anything. And having any of these guys plus Jelly on the show would be amazing. I love you, Jelly!»
The replacement for the «California Gurls» artist has not been announced yet. However, another major name has come forward expressing interest in joining the judges' table: Jordin Sparks
