Mary J. Blige Judges Idol!

Filed under: Victoria Beckham > American Idol > Simon Cowell > Mary J. Blige

Finally, someone who really sings!

Mary J. Blige will meet up with Simon, Randy and Kara to be a guest host for American Idol auditions in Atlanta.

The show is wrapping up auditions in Boston on Friday, where Victoria Beckham has been filling in for Paula Abdrool.

“The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria,” said an Idol source. “She’s had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants.”

We think Miz Blige will be more honest, since she's got some talent to compare them to!

Bring it, bb!

    Very good choice. She is a very talented singer who will definitely add substance to the show.



  13. 13

    Finally something I agree with you on, it's great to see someone who can sing unlike a talentless hack like katy perry.

    Re: LauraLou
    I don't know anyone who watches now either, mostly because the show isn't on right now.. :/



  15. 15

    She will be able to give them all pointers on how to be even more "pitchy"

    Now all the Whitneys and RiRi's of the World take note: This is a REAL star. This woman, yes, i said woman, (not girl!) has true talent, and deserves to be in a judgemental position. That cannot be said about all them. Love you MJB!

    That amazing new to hear! I truly love Mary j blige shes awesome , a great singer , entertainer etc. I can picture her being real honest and sweet and very humble to all the people auditioning . I know she would never wanna say anything doggish to anyone cuz she not trying to hurt anyones dreams. Also i hope she performs something from her new upcoming album entitled "Stronger" becuz all the song i heard so far are stellar . I love The One ft Drake , goodlove ft T.I and the title track Stronger ft Chris Brown is a MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!



  22. 22

    She's rough looking! How old is she? 59?



  23. 23

    Blige is still a better pick then Victoria. I don't think female viewers will be able to relate to Beckham in any way shape or form.



  24. 24

    YES PLEASE!

    and why's everybody against posh?
    she's actually a funny person despite her stiff public figure.
    but everything isn't as it seems.
    you should read some of her books.
    she's a really cool person :)



  25. 25

    YUCK!



  26. 26

    YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!
