Adam Lambert To Replace Cowell On American Idol?

US reports claim Lambert is the man for the job...

Adam Lambert has been tipped to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol.

As we previously reported, Lambert has already stated that he wants to return to Idol and according to reports, it could be as a judge on the talent show.

Cowell has already announced that he is to quit the US show after the current series of Idol finishes so that he can concentrate on bringing the X Factor Stateside.

Rumours of who will replace the music mogul on the show has been circulating ever since Cowell announced he was quitting and it now seems Idol insiders are tipping Lambert for the role on America's most notorious judging panel after his stint as a mentor on the show last week.

A Idol source told the National Enquirer: "Producers were totally bowled over by Adam's on-target critiques and pithy comments. They believe he'll bring a fearless, youthful freshness to the show."

The source added: "And let's not forget, Glambert's got real stage presence."

This is the best news I have heard. Adam is a great singer and entertainer. A great speaker and lots of charm and a great personality. Adam would bring life back to the American idol. What a great choice. I hope this comes true. I would watch all the episodes.

So what kind of time commitment are we talking about here? It's not the kind of show that tapes for 2 months then has an "off" season where the stars pursue other career projects. Adam doesn't have to tour year round, but I dunno. This sounds like a rumor to me especially with the Ntl Enquirer reference.

Anonymous said...

NO WAY! Adam is tooooo talented to sit and judge other people. People would end up booing him just like they do Simon...Adam needs to just entertain the world and keep singing! Maybe he could just sit in and help pick out the talent for the next year but never want him to stop touring or have his OWN show. He'll be in the public eye all over the world and because this is such a great website we can enjoy him every day...I'm begging for a DVD F our Entertaiment.

I don't believe this and Adam is still working on his career - If I were him I might guest judge but not a permanent gig. For one thing, Idol will end eventually, then what. Nope, don't think this is true.

Anonymous said...

he said in a recent interview he would like to guest judge but not be a permanent replacement for Simon...although the prospect of seeing Adam on twice a week for a few months is incredible but he would HAVE!! to be the first judge to ALSO PERFORM!!!!

Anonymous said...

omg i hope he does!! plus it is only twice a week. and he will get a lot of money. he would be one of the best judges in my opinon.

Anonymous said...

Please let this be TRUE!!!!

I think Adam will accept the offer if he was offered. Being a judge on the biggest show in America means BECOMING A MILLIONAIRE!

I'll be so happy for BB.

NOoooooooOOOooOOOOO!!!! Don't do it, Adam!! You will totally sabotage your career as a performing artist. Your guest stint as a mentor was totally cool, but you have a way bigger chance of becoming a worldwide star (which you're already well on the way down the path to becoming) if you stick to your plan and become a rock star. And that requires just a tiny bit of mystery.

Professional judges are just people who sit around and criticize other people. Leave that to the record execs and music industry folks who've already played out their careers. You're just starting your journey.

My biggest issue now is, how do I get tickets to your tour? We want to see you perform!!

MiMi said...

I would love to see Adam on TV every week next season. I think he would be great, but I think he should continue his music career and make more CDS and guest star on TV shows. However, if they pay him millions like they are paying Cowell, by all means yes, yes, yes.

Anonymous said...

No, Adam, don't do it! Focus on your talent, so unlike any other out there - it's a gift! Don't throw it away. Anon 12:03 took all the rest of the words right out of my mouth. :)

Anonymous said...

Who said that it's one or the other? First, I hope it's true. Adam is breaking the rulls as he goes. The first b mentor , the first judge. He will be amazing! That's what the show needs.
Adam will continue to sing and entertain , it's not one or the other.
Like Mimi said If he will get millions. I say yes. Do it.
Are you not going to listen or buy his music if he us the judge??? Again, one has NOTHING To do with the other. Adam should try everything , have fun and make lots of money!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Tough one! One season on idol = set for life. The money Adam would make would allow him to make the kind of music he wants and establish financial breathing room to explore all different types of opportunities. He'd have access to the best in the industry and a weekly platform to promote himself AND causes that are important to him.

Would love to see Adam in that spot, think he would do a super job!!

ADAM LAMBERT DONT HAVE TO BE WUITINH HIS CARREER-HIS MUSIC AND A SINGER ;; JUST PART TIME JUDGE ALSO; IF THEY PAY HIM SAME AS SIMON COWEL IS OK JUDGE PLUS CONTINUE SINGING.CREATE SONGS. DOUBLE CAREER. JUDGE AND SINGER.MAKE SURE WRITE DOWN IN PAPER.JUDGING THE CONTESTANT IS NOT EASY BUT ADAM CAN DO IT.HE AHS COMMONS SENSE- HE SVERY PROFFESSIONALS AND HE CAN DO ANYTHING; MAERICAN IDOL IS ONLY TWICE A WEEK AND THE EREST OF HIS SCHEDULE CREATE MUSIC AND AND TOUR.THATS THE WISE THIGN TO DO-ADAM DONT HAVE TO QUITE HIS MUSIC CAREER.ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL WATCH AMERICNA IDOL. PAY HIM MILLIONS LIKE SIMON COWEL.

Oh wow, this is..interesting! It would be good financially, I mean Cheryl Cole does it in the UK. She's a judge who still has a great singing career...so I think Adam could totally pull this off.

Adam would be a fantastic judge on Idol, but he has stated just recently that he would rather concentrate on his career as an entertainer, but he would like it to be a guest judge for a week. I would rather see Adam keep on making music myself.

Anonymous said...

NO! NO! NO! Adam already let's himself get to far off track of his music. He doesn't need another non-performing singer gig.

Anonymous said...

NOOOOOOO!!! Adam is a singer, an artist, a star. He must do what he likes to do. He has worked his whole life to be in the place he is now and better. Please Adam, don't.

Anonymous said...

simon cowel is the highest paying american idol judge;i think bigger than ryan seacrest.but for now if adam decide continue his music career first. continue entertain all over the world.
when hes fre? he can be in idol judge after all the idol show its only twice a week or so/the producer or idol executive paying adam lambert every tiem he appear in tv. as a temporary judge sometimes -this is the right idea-common sense. common sense.I said this again every time adam lmabert appear this show american idol judge they will pay him-right amount of money.
continue singing and judge soemtimes in american idol.in the near maybe permanent.american idol has a break u know i dont know how many months.
other artist also playing a s a judge namely katty perry and others.

Anonymous said...

Only if he can also sing!
I think he would be a great judge, but I also think he would be a great actor in a movie!
I just can't get enough of him "Entertaining Me"!
I love his videos, I want one of Fever and Sleepwalker!

Josh said...

I'm surprised some people are not liking this rumor!

Adam could easily be a judge without it getting in the way of his own music career!!!

Idol is a 5 month Job pretty much and Adam could easily write songs, record songs, shoot music videos, and do promo during that time period. The only thing he wouldnt be able to do during that time is tour but he can tour the other 7 months of the year!

Adam would earn millions for being a judge and doing so could actually help promote his own music career without getting in the way of it!

I think it's a FANTASTIC idea!!!

Adam is so articulate and honest and did such a fantastic job as mentor that I think he could easily be a great judge!

Anonymous said...

I want him to be an Idol judge. But,he must not give up his singing career b'coz I really like him most when he sings!!!I'cant imagine if he just being a judge & doesn't sing!

Anonymous said...

He certainly is qualified to do it! Who wouldn't want to see him on tv every week? I think being a guest judge, maybe every other week wouldn't over-expose him and still allow him time for other things. Would love to see him in a movie. Wish Idol would put together a dvd of all of his performances on season 8. They would both make a fortune! funbunn40

Anonymous said...

too much exposure for adam! he should do international concerts and concentrate on his singing career.

"KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE", yah, do this as a part-time gig. You don't pay attention until the final ten or so, then come in at the end for a couple months, boost ratings, perform sporadically, plus make millions and keep everyone happy. Luv ya whatev ya do!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I love the rumor, but no one earns what simon cowel earns.AI has only been renewed for 2 more years, and if they don't make a change like that, it will not last even the 2 years. But the big wigs must see that they have a great opportunity in adam , if he wanted it. Cowell does a lot more work and shows in the UK. adam could easily keep his career going and also keep AI going.

Anonymous said...

I know it would be great to see Adam on TV every week,but i think Adam should just keep to his talent of Singing and Entertaining People,
he's been there and done that!! on idol
Adam surely wont have the Time he is nearing the peak of his music success, and about to become an international star,maybe in years to come but NOT now!!!
hope it is just a rumour!

If hey payimg adams same as simon cowel yes adam will accept as thier judge-one of thier judge.
simon cowel is a high paying judge higher than ryan seacrest i think.adam wont accept if the AI wont pay him same amount like simon cowel..
if not for now music first continue his career then soemtimes he will be part tiem judges in american idol that would eb nice but Ai has to pay him while hes judging the contestant.

No No No
this is NOT the job for Adam
Adam will be making Lots of Money out of his singing talent,he used Idol for a platform for getting a record deal and now he has the world in the palm of his hands,he will not have the time EVERYONE wants Adam to fulfill his dream of being a rock star not a judge on idol,Adam said in an recent interview maybe for one show no more hes too busy with his career!!
Adams about to Rock this Planet BIG TIME!!!

checkout Adams INDEMAND UK interview and you will hear with your own ears Adam in his own words that he like to GUEST judge but no more he is too busy with his music career

Anonymous said...

Not good timing - maybe in a few years if Idol is still around but right now, creating and performing are the dream and the dream won't wait. The judges get so much heat and Adam gets enough just by a small comment here and there. He does not need this. Besides, it sounds totally boring compared to the other things he is doing right now. NO NO NO

Anonymous said...

This is what happens when someone is so gifted they have way too many choices. Adam, I thought your dream was to make music and perform. When we watch you do this you look so happy--like you are being transported to some euphoric place. Please stay focused on YOUR dreams. As you advise everyone else, please stay true to yourself. You have this glorious talent. You are a self-made work of art. Do you really want to waste your precious youth on being a regular Idol judge--with way too much overexposure as a simple "celebrity" type? You are so much more than that. I've never heard you list that as one of your life goals. If you want to be a singer, take your singing seriously. If you want to do something like being an Idol judge, you have plenty of time--like when you are in your 50's. You deserve to create and evolve just like the Beatles. I simply can't wait to see what YOU do next (not Idol).

Love from one of your Kentucky fans

its just being selfish for everyone who wants Adam to be on Idol as a judge,Adam is too busy rocking this planet and i agree it would be far too BORING week after week being a judge!!
the American press give Adam enough of a Hard Time as it is... No rest assured Adam will not be a full time Judge he will guest judge one time only he says so himself,STICK TO BEING A MEGA INTERNATIONAL STAR ADAM THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!!! not idol

SHERYL COLE A UK ARTIST ALSO A JUDGE IN UK IDOL STILL HAS HER CARREER WRITING MUSIC AND SONG. ADAM CAN DO THSES TWO THIGS. JUDGE AND STILL WRITING MUSIC AND SING. THAT WOULD EB NICE;
IF SHERYL COLE A UK LADY-ARTIST SINGER CAN DO THAT ADAM CAN DO THAT TOO; WHEN ADAM HAS ENOUGH MONEY HE CAN BUY HIS OWN HOUSE AND NOT RENTING.
MORE MONEY FOR HIS MUSIC-AND SINGING AND AT THE SAME TIME IDOL JUDGES MAKE SURE IDOL EXECUTIVE WILL PAY HIM SAME AS SIMON COLWE SALARY ALSO;
OR ADAM CAN JUDGE ONCE INA WHILE AND STILL DO HIS MUSIC. JUDGE AND SING IN IDOL MORE EXPOSURE.
ALSO ADAM CAN AFFORD TO HAVE HIS OWN CLOTHIGN LINE AND MAKE-UP LINE AS WELL.LAMBERT BRAND.MEN AND WOMEN CLOTHING- MEN AND WOMEN MAKE -UP LINE(STUFF.)

Yes it would be amazing, Adam is so talented he would be able to handle both being a judge and great singer.

Anonymous said...

I have no doubt that Adam would take any on air job AI offered him because he is far too smart not to. If Adam only made 10% of what Simon made in 2008 that's still like 3.4 million not to mention the value of being on tv twice a week promoting, promoting, promoting. According to the Huffington Post Simon could be making 144 million in 2010.

I don't know that even Adam could rescue the sinking ship called American Idol. I would hate for him to judge one year and then AI be canceled. I don't want Adam's name mentioned as a possible reason for AI's inevitable demise. Adam as a guest judge during auditions would be great. Adam touring and promoting his current and upcoming albums would be fabulous!!

Anonymous said...

Cheryl Cole not sheryl !!
Cheryl also was a runner up in Pop idol UK then formed girl band with other runner up to become GIRLS ALOUD!!
they have been very successful for the last 6 years making records and touring
Adam is ONLY just starting out,maybe in 6 years time after he has lived his DREAM and if idol can ever afford to pay him,
stop being selfish let Adam live his Dream!
american Idol is sooooooo finished
Adam keep up your Dream

Anonymous said...

NO NO NO! If it is a guest judge, that would be great, but a permanent judge, NO WAY! I personally want Adam to do his music, write music, tour and stuff. He is too talented to just sit there and judge others. He should entertain us with his amazing talent. So NO to this gig...but if it is a guest judge thing, I am up for some Treat.
I Love Adam Lambert because he loves me back!

forgot to add.... we dont have Idol anymore not for years we have X Factor which is what Simon wants to Bring to America!!! thats one of the reasons he had enough of american idol

Anonymous said...

Why do some of you keep on about Money and making millions!!
Alot of Simons money comes from all the hard work he does in the UK and America!!
Give Adam a Break he does NOT need Idol anymore he has his record contract and it is only a matter of time for Adam to became a HUGE INTERNATIONAL STAR and he will have Plenty of money to buy several Houses
American Idol is dead!!
Simon is bringing our UK show X FACTOR to America thats why he's ditching Idol
wake up you only want Adam to be on idol for selfish reasons so you can see Adam on regular TV...he would be lynched by the american press everytime he gave his opinion!!!
ADAM has said loud and Clear maybe as a guest on 1 show he is too busy with his very Fast rising successful career
Adam is a very talented Singer NOT a judge on a show thats become laughable
just sayin!!!!

No No to American Idol
if Adam has any spare time what with living his dream...then let him do some Modelling on the Catwalks..now were talking sensibly that would be Brilliant not a judge on a quite frankly boring show
keep living your dream Adam xxxxxxxx

Adam: not as a judge -- pleeeeeze. That said,
Idol should hire him to come and mentor/coach the Top 10 -- spend the week with them, help them choose a song, dress for their song choice and above all, teach them how to to deliver that song! Put his good talents to good use!! And...its only 1 week out of his life.

Anonymous said...

Adam wants longevity in the business and i don't think judging would be his best ticket. He's too talented to give up singing. He has yet to build his resume to really, really, really belong at the judges' table.

Anonymous said...

I also think being a mentor would be much better than being a judge. ADAM would never say anything to hurt the contestants no matter how honest he is. He could give these kids the benefit of his expertise & as a former contestant ... how to dress .. act on stage .. respond to criticism (just keep smiling) and how to put a song across every week. Yep! I VOTE for MENTOR/SINGER ... at least twice a month ... for the singing that is!

Anonymous said...

NO!!!!! ADAM is an international star...sky is the limit for him....not AI! I really can't see ADAM wanting to experience that everyweek. What a way to block creativity.....No way, I can't see ADAM wanting to do this (unless he has too and get's paid extremely well), this is so in the box...and think of the nail polish he will have to keep replacing everyweek from the patience and boredom he will have to endure! Sure
he respects AI but respect ADAM too!..ADAM LAMBERT is Worlwide SUPERSTAR clearly in his own right!

Nooooooooooo! This is tabloid rumor

Noooo, this is a bad idea. AI is going down the pan and it might drag Adam with it. A guest judge slot would be ok.

On another note, has anyone from UK seen the NME article? Its so mean!! How could they be so rude about and to our boy?!

Why would Adam want to save the sinking AI? This is crazy talk and has to be a rumor. Sure last week was great publicity for AI and Adam but enough is enough! Adam has the world at his finger tips and does'nt have time for such trivial moments! (Even Simon's had enough
and with him gone, so is AI.)
