IVY

As Season 13 Judge

Quote:

Bruno Mars may be “Locked Out Of Heaven,” but there’s one place he’s still more than welcome: American Idol! “Producers and Fox would absolutely love to get Bruno Mars as a judge,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “He’s super talented, amazingly charismatic, and well-liked by industry professionals and young fans.”

In fact, the wheels are already in motion to get Bruno seated at the judges’ table in season 13.

“[Producers] are looking into making him an offer very soon,” our source adds. “They’re looking to lock down next seasons judging panel sooner than later.”

‘American Idol’ Dream Team Revealed

But Bruno isn’t the only music superstar Idol producers have atop their list. In fact, he’s actually one of three singers they’d love to have on the judges’ panel next season.

“They’re currently happy going with a three-person judge panel, and would really like to add a former Idol to the panel,” our source reveals. “Harry Connick Jr., Kelly Clarkson and Bruno Mars is their so-called ‘dream team.’”

Funny how bruno was rejected by AI when he first auditioned many years ago & now they want him.

He'd good. I think he's more of a mentor like Mariah, though

Yea he wont be too judgmental or tough, so he might end up being too nice.

This reminds me of a portuguese singer called Aurea. She didnt make it on the first audition on our Idols but now she is like our biggest artist

The same goes for bruno, they didn't even allow him to audition infront of the judges, they thought he sounded too much like MJ.

Rick

Oh no, don't do it Bruno!

If he does this I will jump off of a bridge. His career is flourishing and he doesn't need A.I. Please, no.

This is Holywood life, meaning its false. And Kelly's team already denied she's going to be involved meaning this, and E New and The Wrap are/were wrong.

Harry Connick Jr.? Are they trying to kill the show cuz kii...

He was irritating as **** and he was only on one episode of the season. I don't know if I could handle him every week.

If it is true though I doubt Bruno would accept. He's super focused on his career atm, and AI takes up a ton of time.

He wont though, the US tour starts next month, he wont have any time. I think it's more of a wishful thinking made by the American Idol producers, they really want him but they know it might be difficult to convince him.

Being judges on singing competition is just for flops who needs to boost their popularity before her/his albums/singles come out. Bruno doesn't need it

Not anymore. The future of any of the shows is pulling for the biggest names to boost their ratings and paying them as much as possible for the risk. The days of it being solely for acts with careers like Jennifer, Christina, etc. are slimming.

Anyway, it's obvious he won't be able to do this mid-era + tour starting soon.

Not happening.

Fingerprints

Don't do it Bruno

maybe a guest judge if someone gets sick but otherwise no.

XChrisX

Bruno won't benefit from it. He is already huge and he's smashing everything.

zach

He's on tour all this year and the beginning of next. Not true.

Bie

Do it Bruno and Kelly ... I want to see you every week
