He could fill Simon's "lead judge" chair.<br /><br />This puts Ellen in a much more natural hosting role for her. She wouldn't have to be critical of the singers and wouldn't expose her lack of musical knowledge.<br /><br />Then, I'd replace Kara with Shania Twain. She was strong as both a judge and mentor. She'd bring in the country fans, but certainly has crossover appeal. Plus, she was married for awhile to one of the top rock producers.<br /><br />Finally, I'd say goodbye to the Dawg, and see if Jimmy Iovine could take the record exec role. He's pretty good on camera, doesn't mind being critical and has a strong background in both rock and rap.chalmersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-71537433942194864402010-06-02T09:35:51.449-07:002010-06-02T09:35:51.449-07:00Hey, what would happen to your radio and baseball ...Hey, what would happen to your radio and baseball career if you did this?Bob Summersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-82236935798393856642010-06-01T23:44:50.053-07:002010-06-01T23:44:50.053-07:00I'll bet you're the only person lobbying f...I'll bet you're the only person lobbying for this job who could land Loretta Swit and Manny Ramirez as guest judges.Dr. Leo Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669626692363827776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-38934296481764540922010-06-01T20:46:59.008-07:002010-06-01T20:46:59.008-07:00Great idea.

It was like reading a description of a train wreck. If you want to win this thing, you've got to be completely and utterly committed to being an asshole. I mean, come back next week...lose any respect you have for women. That includes Ryan Seacrest. You can't just verbally spar with him, you have to want to destroy him. We have to see it in your eyes that you desperately want to crush his tiny manhood between your thumb and forefinger. Yeah? Good. That said, it was a very good subject choice for you, and I liked all the joking. (awkward pause while director cues music)Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067084913215972157noreply@blogger.com
