Elton For Idol?
It hasn't even been a week since Simon Cowell has announced this will be his last season as a judge on American Idol and people are already suggesting and speculating who should take his place.
The latest whisper coming from the AI set is Elton John could be taking over his fellow Brit's spot.
We like this idea 100x more than Ryan Seacrest pulling double duty. Actually anyone would be better than Seacrest. Plus, Elton actually has judging experience since he sat in as a guest judge during season 3.
No comment has been made from Elton's camp confirming if he is or isn't interested in the gig.
Would U want to see Elton on the panel???

Kiefer In A Dress!
This was already talked about days ago. This site stinks.
Elton would be an awesome choice for american idol!!
Naw too nice. Somebody with bite is necessary!
TWO DEVIANTS ON THE PANEL??? UHH….NO! WHACK!
A.I. will absolutely tank if that happens! MARK IT DOWN.
OH my!! Elton John is a LEGEND and an inspiration. He will definitely tell you if you are good or not. Recall that Madonna comment years ago? He would be a great asset!
NAHHH ELTON IS A WACK ASS HAS BEEN. NO ONE CARES. THE SHOW WILL DIE! BRING ON XFACTOR USA. JUST MAKE IT BETTER THAN THAT TRAIN WRECK XFACTOR UK, HAHA.
no, people suggested him on your other AI news.
Oh god, he's the same person that said that Jennifer Hudson was voted off because of racism, even though Fantasia won that year.
Um, he would scare me more than Simon.
Elton would be a brilliant replacement for Cowell. He seems pretty straight up with criticism and he's a musical legend.
I would have never thought of it in a million years, but that sounds perfect! I think Elton and Simon have similar personalities.
Yeah, he was my first choice. Would love him!
eltons too big to do idol! get pamela anderson or something sake!!
And what about making AI 2010 the last season for everybody? When it's been rumored that Cowell wanted to leave AI to start with XFacor I founded really stupid, coz I know the show and it's almost the copy of AI…But if a money machine as Cowell think is a good move…well probably he's true.
At least there's always the chance to listen to new acts.

YES WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA
Piers Morgan is the only person who can really replace Simon. You need a Britsh Wanker who doesn't care if the contestants/audience don't like him. Elton is witty but way too nice….
has it fuckin become ghey idol
fuckkkkkkkkkkk after simon is gone im done with this fuckin shittttttttttttt
Re: jones19 – Sir Elton John too nice? he can get real catty sometimes
They should have him as a guest judge and see how he does. Could be great!
…I think that bitchy old queen would be a hoot.
Great idea - Elton knows more about music than anyone and is very witty to boot. He is not shy about critiquing artists either.
I say NO. Elton is too nice to replace Simon!
Love Sir Elton. Bring it!
Re: Hum0rMe – Still not as catty as Simon!
Re: Hum0rMe – Really? I've never seen that! Proof please.
Love it! He's a legend, has enormous talent and just the right amount of bitchiness to make him the perfect replacement for Simon.
Re: jones19 – Lol remember when he called madonna a cow and said she lip syncs? haha
Re: harley_girl2003 – True
ok here's da list of ppl who shud be judges on a singing competition
leann rimes/nicole scherzinger/kelly rowland/colbie caillat/mandy moore/jay z/justin timberlake/usher/jesse mccartney
YEEEEES!!!! he's such a bitch! Love it!
Not a bad choice at all.
Elton? Great idea, but good luck with that, just saying.
That would be awsome! I love Elton John!
YES! YES YES YES!!! OMG! I gasped when I read the article! That would be positively TERRIFIC! And he'd be a great mentor for the contestants!
Oh, if this comes to pass, I hope he's a TOTAL BITCH!!!
Fucking brilliant choice! Couldn't think of anyone better
Re: jones19 –
just watch "Tantrums and Tiaras"…all the proof you need.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES I LOVE ELTON
