Fastlane Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) On February 12, 2024, Katy Perry announced she was leaving American Idol after seven seasons. As ABC executives have begun the search for her replacement, a consultant reportedly claimed: "They are looking at several options on how to replace Katy." "Names like Jennifer Lopez and Shania Twain... are in the frame because they have worked on the show before and are 'safe' faces, but there is a push for Miley," the insider confessed. "Some senior figures at ABC have concerns about the risque and open nature of Miley saying or doing something which is not necessarily family-friendly. The production team is inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly, but Miley is very outspoken and always herself," the insider gushed. "Of course, ABC sees itself as America's family network, so they would not want to bring division to the audience". "American Idol has not had this much coverage and chat in a long time," the insider concluded. https://www.the-sun.com/tv/10399996/american-idol-katy-perry-replacement-miley-cyrus-casting/ Edited February 16 by Fastlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honestopinion Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Miley doesn't want them and couldn't care less about this show. Only artists who ended their careers and almost retired are going there for easy money after constantly flopping Edited February 16 by honestopinion 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Shut up, Mouse. She is perfectly family friendly. Are mass layoffs family friendly? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only artists who ended their careers and almost retired are going there for easy money I can't see Miley doing a stable 9-5 nowadays, same reason why she does not want to tour currently. Especially after reaching new career heights, why would she settle for this type of job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livelikemusic Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I do not see her taking the position, nor do I think Jennifer Lopez will return with all of her other projects. Kelly Rowland and Shania Twain are PERFECT choices! Or a name not even mentioned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingYouToo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Miley has just had a career resurgence literally last year that put her name alongside SZA, Taylor, Doja, Beyonce, Ariana, after years of relative B-lister status, all aforementioned women currently running mainstream pop music. Why would she settle for this. Another pop friendly lead from Miley would most likely smash and give her career even longer life she doesn't need the A.I. crap. None of the current girls are losing their star enough to both being in a talent show. Exception would be Ariana who did it during her peak but it was most likely just for a one time bag. Only Katy from the ATRL era of popgirls rose high and fell down enough to warrant a talent show judging stint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imabadkid Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 eh they need Miley more than she needs them tbh. I haven’t looked at the ratings in a while but aren’t all these shows hanging on by a thread? Linear TV in general is hanging on by a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent W Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Please no She re-peaked last year. A great album would be her next big move If she serves real quality in her next album she would jump to a whole other level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, this format is dead and Disney should save their money on better scripts for series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would she settle for this. Ariana was a voice judge right after Positions. Sometimes it’s not about the prestige and just the check. And let’s be honest, none of Miley singles post Flowers really made any noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I kind of wouldn't mind if they retired American Idol for a while. I would watch a weekly promo stage for established artists, however. Something like a modern take on Soul Train, TRL, etc. It feels like that's been missing from the culture for a long time and it's something that kpop really excels at. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popstars need more promo opportunities than just award shows and late night talk shows. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tudors Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Miley can't speak a sentence without saying the word fuc like 3 times. I've always felt she was overdoing it to prove she's not that Disney channel girl anymore. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
