AMERICAN Idol fans have demanded that Lizzo take over for Katy Perry at the judges’ desk.
Katy recently did an interview with BuzzFeed Celeb and expressed her dreams of the singer being on the panel.
Over the weekend, the long-awaited Katy Perry plays with puppies video was released.
She answered questions about upcoming music, her Las Vegas residency, being a mom, and of course, American Idol.
BuzzFeed asked: “If you could add anyone as a fourth Idol judge, who would you choose and why?”
“Lizzo,” Katy smiled. “I’d like Lizzo to come and join American Idol.”
“This is an invitation from me, Katy Perry. Lizzo, I am asking you to join the panel.”
Katy continued: “I am feeling a little outnumbered on the testosterone. I could really use some bold, honest hot takes.”
Lizzo is currently on tour this year, but maybe in a few years Katy might get her teenage dream.
Katy currently serves on the judges’ panel with Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
‘HERE FOR IT!’
Some fans think Lizzo would be a great addition while others think that the pop star should replace Katy.
“LMAO Does Katy think she, herself, provides bold, honest hot takes?? Not one of them do on this current panel. Everyone can’t be great. Be honest with these kids, otherwise how do they learn??” asked one Twitter user.
“I want this as an American Idol viewer,” said another.
“Lizzo would actually be a good fit for this. She’s fun,” wrote one fan.
However one fan said: “We want her to replace Katy wbk.”
Then they added: “So Katy can be a pop star again.”
“We want lizzo to take katy’s spot so she can be free,” said another.
A third added: “Queens, but Katy please leave AI and release KP6.”
“Lizzo, please take her place and set her free,” begged another.
“And replace her?” a Twitter user asked.
“Or Lizzo can take Katy’s place,” another begged.
THEY OUGHTA KNOW
This isn’t the first time this season fans have asked another singer to replace Katy.
At the beginning of May, Katy and Lionel traveled to London to perform for King Charles III’s coronation.
While they were away, Ed Sheeran and Alanis Morissette replaced them on the judges’ panel.
Both substitutes charmed contestants and the audience, and many people on Twitter begged to kick Katy to the curb.
“Best judges! @lukebryan @edsheeran @Alanis,” one person tweeted. “American Idol viewers are lucky today.”
One person called Alanis a “great permanent choice.”
Another complimented: “Ed Sheeran seems to be having fun, and he seems like a really pleasant guy.”
Fans celebrated Katy and Lionel’s absence before the show even began airing.
“It will be SOOOOOO nice watching Idol tonight without having to hold the remote so I can ‘MUTE’ Perry and Richie every time they open their mouths!” one person tweeted. “Now. change those two judges out PERMANENTLY!”
