“There are reports that say the Ellen decision wasn’t his although his company owns the show. Says network execs wanted humor on the panel and not bickering.
There is no replacing Simon for this thing. They should have brought in a real vocal talent and not a comedian who has no business judging vocal talent.
I thought David Foster, Steve Perry, Peter Cetera...all would have been solid choices.”
I like the idea of David Foster, although this day in age you almost are required to have a female judge. I’m just happy they didn’t go for some bubble gum pop singer like Mariah Carey or someone like that. That being said, I still won’t watch the show. I’ll just let my female friends tell me what happened last night and secretly not care one bit.
Peter Cetera would be awesome. I love Chicago!
