Who could be a better American Idol judge than Kelly Clarkson?

Literally NOBODY!

I love this rumor so much. The Idol reboot is set to start back up on ABC later this year after a 15 season run on Fox. Former judge Jennifer Lopez will be working on her show World of Dance. Simon Cowell has been busy with other shows for years now. And quite frankly, I don’t know if Paula Abdul or Randy Jackson would want to do it. 

The auditions will allegedly be held at Disney Land and Disney World, which will bring down costs and make the overall planning easier.

Ryan Seacrest is already being tapped to host again. He hosted all 15 years of the original run of American Idol. His famous last words were “goodbye for now” on the final episode of American Idol: The Farewell Season. So maybe Ryan knew all along what was going down? I’m still thinking there’s a chance that between his many, many other jobs, he’ll turn this down.

We shall see!
