LOS ANGELES - "American Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has repeated his request for President Barack Obama to perform on the reality show, after the commander in chief showed off his smooth vocals earlier this month.
Obama sang a sampling of lyrics from Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," at a fundraiser at Harlem's Apollo Theater Jan. 19, eliciting cheers from the crowd and later earning praise when a YouTube clip of the solo went viral.
Now Lythgoe wants the president to show more of his vocal range, singing a duet with Green himself on the FOX TV show.
"@BarackObama we loved your vocal performance so much we'd love to invite you on to #AmericanIdol this Season for a duet with Al Green," the English producer tweeted Friday, then repeating his request Monday.
The first president to hit #1 on Itunes AND Billboard.
