Lionel Richie Shares The Second Person He Wants On ‘American Idol’
Knowing Swift’s celebrity following, Richie also had a replacement for his suggestion. And this person was none other than the first winner of the American idol, Kelly Clarkson. “I didn’t want to talk about it. Not only did I think about it, but I slipped in some important notes. You know what I’m saying, Kelly, we’ve been together a long time. He continued: “Kelly, if you have nothing else to do, I’d like to let this go. Big fan!”
Although they are two big names in the music industry, Clarkson seems like an ideal choice. Not only did she win American idolbut she is also an experienced host thanks to The Kelly Clarkson Show. She was also a coach on The voice for a few seasons.
As for Perry, she shared who she thinks should take over. She said E! News“I have to say, Jelly Roll was crazy when he came on the show. I believed everything he said. He could run for president, he could be my pastor, I could go back to church for him. He could sell me anything.
