A thousand names have been thrown around when it comes to who wants to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol. Personally after Paula Abdul left, so did I. I can’t stomach wannabe crooners without Paula drunken mumbling to make it worthwhile.
The clock is ticking down as network execs want a replacement by September. The show is due to resume making fun of the talentless in January of 2011. A slew of hopefuls have been ushered in and out as the replacement Simon. Chris Isaak is the latest possible candidate.
“The network is determined to land a widely known music industry figure for the post, and THR has learned that singer Chris Isaak has met twice with the network. Isaak, in addition to penning hit songs like 1989′s “Wicked Game,” has appeared in a slew of TV series over the years, including “Eastwick,” “Cold Case,” “Smallville” and his own “Chris Isaak Show” for Showtime.”
It seems that his competition could be stiff as Harry Connick Jr.’s name has also been mentioned more than once.
if its not harry connick jr or bret michaels replacing simon, i will not be watching. chris isaak is a great singer and all but he has the personality of a doorknob. he’s quite boring.
