Carrie Underwood Speaks Out About Replacing Katy Perry
Carrie Underwood has already received the stamp of approval from fellow judge Lionel Richie for her newest role at the table.
“It makes a lot of sense,” Richie told E! News. “It’s not someone we have to get used to. And the fact that she has a great story, she came from American Idol.”
Richie added, “What a great judge. Now we don’t have to explain anymore, ‘We know how you feel.’ As artists, we know how you feel, but we’ve never been in that oval that says, ‘American Idol.’ She’s been there, done that.”
While fans anticipate Underwood’s judging debut, you can read on to see where other American Idol alums are today.
