As the fading Fox phenom looks to improve ratings and the show’s success when it returns next season, the heads over at Fox are reportedly considering putting former show contestants behind the judge’s table. According to Vulture - who first broke the news – the discussions at Fox are very real, but in the early stages. Whether one or all slots will be filled by former contestants has yet to be determined.

It appears that Kelly Clarkson, who appeared on ABC’s short lived Duets, and Jennifer Hudson have been approached. Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert’s names have been thrown around, as well. Fox and the heads of Idol have plenty of time to make the decision. If talks about this plan, which has been thrown out before, fall through, look for other names in the music business to be thrown around, as well.

Randy Jackson has already announced his departure from the show and all signs are pointing to Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, and Mariah Carey to be replaced as well. There is also word that Fox may go back to a three judges panel and also consider replacing Exec Producer, Nigel Lythgoe. Fox has not made a comment.

If this idea works, it could breathe new life in the show, bring back old viewers who may have abandoned ship, and subtly remind America of the show’s success. Who would you like to see return to Idol?

I will CONSIDER watching if this happens. But it'll depend who the former judges are.

TheKdd · 05-22-2013, 09:21 AM

Meh. It will be like Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks and Adam Lambert. Just you wait. LOL

TheKdd · 05-22-2013, 09:25 AM

Or the dream team of Justin Guarini, Jordan Sparks and Sanjaya. LMAO

I could do this all day LOLOL

19wingz · 05-22-2013, 09:32 AM

LMFAO Ok, those trios will NOT get me to watch. Even though I don't like Lambert, if KC and J Hud are on, I'd give it a shot.

OMG Taylor Hicks. LMFAO Sanjaya?!?!?

TheKdd · 05-22-2013, 09:51 AM

Ok fine. How about the AWESOME three.... William Hung, David Archuleta (and his dad) and Constantine.

And good luck getting KC on there.

19wingz · 05-22-2013, 09:54 AM

LMFAO William Hung. OMG throw Psy in there, too. He can be the only non-alum.

Hey, KC did Duets on ABC, so she's been a judge on a show before. But her history with Idol hasn't been too friendly.

TheKdd · 05-22-2013, 10:27 AM

Are they still giving out the same record contract as they had been in the past? Is Clive Davis still somehow involved with Idol? That will be the determining factor on whether you see KC there or not, and I'm thinking not.

Ok now, let's go with the winning judging panel. ALL WINNERS.

Ruben, Kris Allen and Fantasia! LOLOL

19wingz · 05-22-2013, 12:37 PM

LMFAO What a winning threesome that is.

And I don't know if Clive is still with Idol. Anyone who still watches - do you know?

I feel like none of these singing shows can keep a judging panel past one season! Seriously, I remember the times when it was the same 3 judges for like 5 seasons straight!!!
