‘American Idol’ Needs Miley Cyrus as New Judge, Not Katy Perry or Nicki Minaj (VIDEO)

miley cyrus katy perryNo one really cared about American Idol last year. The novelty of new judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler had worn off and the revamped Hollywood week wasn't enough to keep us interested -- the show got its lowest ratings ever. Now, Fox is plotting to lure us back. Rumor has it that the network is courting Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and/or Miley Cyrus to replace J. Lo, who may or may not be leaving. Apparently, execs want one of those youthful stars to inject some life into the dying series. And frankly, thank god.

It was fun with J. Lo and Steven for a year, but two was one too many. They didn't SAY anything. They just drooled over each contestant because they could only see them as innocent kids. Jennifer, 42, Randy, 56, and Steven, 64, were too adult to express anything honest to the young hopefuls. But put a teenager like Miley on the judges' table? Let the games begin.

She can be critical, and should be, because she's the same age as the contestants and knows what it takes to make it big in this day and age. If they don't have what it takes, I hope Miley would put them out of their misery and tell them to concentrate on their GED because there is no room in La La land for a mediocre voice with awkward dance moves. No room.

And no, I'm not even going to entertain the idea that Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj are also being considered for the position. I find each of them more annoying than a newborn in first class and would rather swallow fistfuls of their glitter residue than watch them squeal their way through the show. Miley's our only hope.

Nothing's been confirmed, but if J. Lo does decide to leave A.I., it's been said that Randy and Steven will wait to see who her replacement is before they re-up, meaning, of course, that there could potentially be three new judges if Jennifer's replacement is particularly polarizing. Awesome.

Here's to Miley being a glorious, grousing teen at the judges' table. It's time Idol is out with the old and in with the young.

Who do you want to see replace J. Lo?

    Miley Cyrus? Really? Haven’t we had to endure enough talentless (J. Lo) on this show without putting another one on?? Does anyone believe Miley would be where she is in the entertainment industry if it weren’t for her daddy? No, she would have been eliminated from AI in the first round so stop promoting mediocre singers! How about some talent…like Taylor Swift?

    Idol's bomb of a season had nothing to do with the judges being "too adult". That doesn't even make any sense. When Simon Cowell was on the show, it was interesting to watch because he was HONEST, sometimes too much so. It had nothing to do with his age. The new judge needs to be honest, critical, and appeal to viewers of all age groups, whether that person be 19 or 49. That's not the point.

    I will definately stop watching if Miley becomes a judge. She is the one who has a mediocre voice with awkward dance moves! Most of the idol hopefuls will have more talent in their pinkies than she has in her entire body. No!

    K - Taylor swift is just as talentless, I'm sorry. I don't like country but if they were to choose a country singer, I say Carrie Underwood. There are plenty of amazing singers. Taylor swift and miley Cyrus are not some of them.

    Taylor Swift? If I breathe my way through a song am I talented too?? There is a reason ANYONE can sing along with her songs on the radio.

    I agree with Kate, once Simon left the show was never the same, and never will be. He was the only one who said what everyone else was really thinking, but wouldn't say. Not sure who can replace him.
    But seriously, Steven Tyler has got to go. He's useless.

    Eh, Miley Cyrus would be an okay judge because she is young, and most likely would be critical, but my issue with this is some of these contestants are going to be highly offended when someone who's worse at singing than them is being super critical about their every move. Katy Perry would be incredibly too nice, Adam Lambert might be a decent judge, but I'd like to see Nicki as a judge.

    watching the particular moonrise Where is definitely Osama???? The Conflict on Fear created your mideastern
    clusterf&*# having trillions decrease the draw in Iraq for your so-called
    democracy along with Afganistan is usually an endless struggle. Now we got every
    mideasterner on FACEBOOK checking with the schedule with riots
    that evening and the price of gas will certainly hit five bucks just before Memorial Time.
    Back at your house here, they currently have created such a mismash associated with agencies
    that his or her little "war rooms" usually are so ineffective that it takes the Times
    Square cabbie to get noticable that a van is actually sitting there which includes a bomb and
    a gentleman with Fruit from the Loom blast underwear countries in Detroit. For the
    price individuals so-called "War upon Terror", we could have given every person Medicare.

    Do not, under any circumstances, spend any money on this item. I received two of them and they both had too many issues to list. Look up Defective in the dictionary and there will be a picture of this tank. Saying my son was disappointed was nothing compared to how ripped off and cheated I felt. The item is supposed to have a warranty, but you will never collect it and you will not be reimbursed for return shipping.
