Rumor
has it that the open seat at the judges’ panel on FOX’s American
Idol, may be going to a country superstar! According to Deadline, the
show will be recruiting a male judge, and Brad Paisley is being
considered for the vacated chair. Brad has close ties with former Idol
winners, as he has a close relationship with Carrie Underwood, and
currently has Scotty McCreery out on the road with him. Brad has also
performed on the show in the past.
