Washington [US], After singer-songwriter and television personality Katy Perry announced her departure from the popular show 'American Idol' in February, fellow judge Luke Bryan recently shared who could be next to step in, People reported.
"I've mentioned several names. I think Pink has been in the conversations, Miley Cyrus has been in the conversations, Meghan Trainor has been in the conversations," he said in an interview, People reported on Monday.
"It's been interesting," she continued. "It's been something that Disney has been very secretive about with me, Lionel Richie and Ryan Seacrest. We currently haven't heard what the story is about who's coming back and if Lionel and I will be coming back. I think Disney is just trying to figure out what they want to do. and we just sit and wait until they decide," he added.
Bryan, who joined American Idol as a judge during season 16 with Perry and Richie, also shared that Katy Perry was "perfect for the job," so replacing her won't be easy. "I think they're just working really hard to find someone who can really come in and do the job that Katy did," he said.
Previously, Meghan said replacing Perry as a judge would be her "dream job." "I've done every interview in the world and said that's my dream job, and I've emailed three amazing people who work in that world," she said.
"I've begged for this job," the "Me Too" singer added. "I haven't gotten any updates, so I checked my emails, but that's my dream job. I want to drive to work on American Idol and then drive home."
Kelly Clarkson, who was the show's first winner, shared that she will not be returning to the series because she is part of the judging panel.
"No. No. I can't do that, just because I promised my kids," Clarkson said of replacing Perry. "I thought, 'I want to be there as much as I can.' And that would put me in Los Angeles."
Since her exit from the singing competition, Perry announced the release of her new single "Woman's World" on July 11, People reported.
