I'm so ready for this. American Idol lost their way within recent years, which is why it declined. I believe these judges will find the next Kelly, Carrie, and/or Jennifer. And for those saying that Katy can't judge because she can't sing, clearly don't know her as an artist. She's actually a great singer, and an amazing performer. She wouldn't be where she's at if she wasn't. She also has helped out in the past, which she's done a great job - so she does have experience. Stop being a bunch of whiny bitches and watch the damn show before giving your unsolicited opinions.
