Bret Michaels To Become American Idol Judge?

So, this is weird: in the video above, both Bret Michaels and Simon Cowell seem to ponder Bret slipping into Simon’s slot as an American Idol judge next season. Bret’s a perpetual joker, so it’s hard to gauge just how serious he is when he says, “Provided my health holds up, I think I’m taking that chair next year!” However, he does support the claim with, “I can give great criticism.” Regardless of his seriousness, we can be sure that Bret wouldn’t turn down the gig should it be offered. American Idol with 5,000 times more “awesome” (and subsequent apologies for overusing that word) might be exactly what the aging show needs to pull itself out of its slump. [Extra]

Bret would be a great replacement judge! He’s smart, but he’s also supportive and nice. Fire Kara and replace her with Bret, and then just leave it at 3 judges.

I agree Bret would make a great judge! After his performance on Celebrity Apprentice he has proven he is smart, funny and very creative. I vote for Bret!

I’d love to see Bret on AI. He is funny yet can be serious and people love him.

Idol needs musical people like Bret. Ellen is funny, but she isn’t in the music industry. Bret has charisma and talent.

Definitely a great choice. The show needs someone very unique and funny, and I think Bret’s the one.
