Producers think Adam would make the perfect addition to the show — and I agree!
Adam Lambert may have come in second on his season of American Idol, but he’s first on the producers’ wish list for potential season 12 judges. “They have been talking about Adam for over a month,” a source tells E! News. “He knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of the judges’ comments, he has a human touch, and they know they can’t go wrong if they bring him on. He would be able to bring a unique perspective to the show. People love him.”
I certainly can’t disagree with any of that. It would be brilliant to have someone on the panel who’s actually been through the process, as opposed to someone like Jennifer Lopez, who probably shouldn’t be critiquing the way other people sing — if you catch my drift.
And speaking of J. Lo, E! News insists she has “no plans” to return for her third season.
How do you feel about Adam potentially joining the judges’ panel?

I will watch Idol again only if Adam Lambert is a judge..the show has not been the same since he was on. He was one of the best performers on your show and he SHOULD HAVE WON..he was the greatest every time he performed. I have purchased all of his CD’s and I am waiting for the next CD to be in the stores. NO one ever has compared to him and I have watches Idol for many years and I stopped watching after what was done to prevent him from being #1 which he is and always will be in my opinion!!! Make my day and have Adam as a judge for the next season!
