Elton John To Replace Simon Cowell?  Elton John |
The ‘American Idol’ bosses are keen to replace Simon Cowell as a judge with English singer Elton John. The show bosses believe that Elton John will be a suitable replacement for Cowell.
Recently, the media mogul announced that he will quit the America’s hottest talent hunt show after the ongoing ninth season ends.
A source quoted, "Everyone loves Sir Elton. As well as being outspoken, he has an air of gravitas as an icon of the music industry," said a producer. "He’s British too. Having Sir Elton on board would be a guaranteed ratings blockbuster all over the world."
Elton, 63, has earlier rejected the proposals from Fox TV when it offered him the job in January.
"Part of the pitch to get Sir Elton on board was that the show can become an even bigger fundraiser for various charities. We’re barely more than a cat’s whisker away from getting ink on paper," said a source.
