Dim the lights, Katy Perry has a place for American idol.
The “Firework” singer, who is set to leave the ABC singing competition series after this season, recently revealed who she’d like to join Lionel Richie And Luke Bryan at the judges’ table.
“I must say Jelly roll was crazy when he came on the show,” Katy said E! News After American idolthe live show on April 15. “I believed everything he said. He could run for president, he could be my pastor, I could go back to church for him. He could sell me anything.”
“So I love him,” she noted of the “Wild Ones” artist, who recently appeared on the April 8 episode of Idol. “And having one of these guys and Jelly on the show would be amazing. I love you, Jelly!” (For more Idol interviews, watch E! News April 16.)
Ultimately, Perry just wants his replacement to speak his mind.
“I want someone who tells the truth,” she added. “I want someone who isn’t afraid to speak the truth with grace.”
