“American Idol” is possibly considering replacing all four judges with former contestants? If the idea seems far-fetched, that’s because it's a really good idea for a show that has had very little of those in recent years.

It makes perfect sense to re-energize the fan base by bringing back old favorites instead of throwing millions upon millions of dollars at big names with questionable appeal and no ties to the show. If viewers aren’t going to fall in love with Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and this season, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, is replacing them with other flashy entertainers really going to work? (Although a panel of Taylor Swift, a couple of her exes and Kanye West might get the job done -- but not for the right reasons.)

Fill the panel with past contestants who can fill four specific roles, and the show’s 13th season might be lucky after all:

1. The former champion
Top choice: Kelly Clarkson

“Idol” has to have a judge who has won this so they can brag about how they’ve done it before. Ideally, it should be a successful one whose very presence reminds the contestants that the winner has the potential to get much more than a confetti shower and an initial record deal of dubious value.

However, this approach works best if only one champion makes the cut, and who better than the original winner who has become a bona fide superstar? Kelly Clarkson is still the “Idol” standard to which everyone aspires (unless their goal is to become an actress, in which case “From Justin to Kelly” still stings). She's also had mentor roles on “The Voice” and “Duets.” Kelly might cost a lot, but she’d be worth the price.

Other options: Carrie Underwood would also fit, but given her image, can anyone really see her being anything but supportive to every contestant? Probably not, and that’s boring TV. (Dahling, that'd be like inviting J.Lo or Mariah back.) Jordin Sparks is great on camera, but doesn’t yet have the same stature.

2. The challenger
Top choice: Jennifer Hudson

As season 12 of “Idol” showed, it’s mighty dull when the voters get it right every week and the best singers make it to the end. Bringing back someone who thought they were unfairly denied the championship will add an edge the show has lacked since Simon Cowell started getting bored and began watching himself in the monitor instead of the stage.

Jennifer Hudson is by far the best choice. She’s another legitimate superstar, but one who came in seventh place in a weak season three and thinks she was unfairly criticized during her time on the “Idol”stage. Her talent can’t be argued (hello, Academy Award!), and her personality is ideally suited to this because she won’t back down when challenged. Fans might actually get a panel where judges disagree!

Other options: If you can’t get her – and it’s bad if you can’t – Chris Daughtry is next in line.

3. The comic relief
Top choice: Kellie Pickler

“American Idol” is, as they say, a singing competition. But it’s also supposed to be fun. The performers might live and die with every solo, but it would be nice to have a judge who looked like they were having a great time in a way that did not involve dressing in silly costumes and faking a British accent (looking at you here, Nicki). And if they don’t mind being teased, so much the better. Paula Abdul was successful in part because she knew her role and played along with the banter very well.

From Kellie's first days on the show, no singer has intuitively understood how to market herself better than the country crooner. Yeah, yeah, she plays the role of the country girl out of her element in the big city very well, but she’s got skills at building her brand and managing her career that would be the envy of any New York firm. She just won “Dancing With The Stars,” so she’s got the recognition that comes with that, and she brings a sizable fan base that clearly is used to picking up their phones and voting.

Other options: This is a tough one. Is CASEY ABRAMS too recent?
anyone remember Matt Rogers? Would Taylor Hicks lash out after being joked about? (His fans certainly do.) You couldn’t put Justin Guarini on the panel with Kelly -- too many movie references.

4. The realist
Top choice: Adam Lambert

This is the hardest spot on the panel to fill, but especially if Jennifer Hudson turns her role down, it may be the most critical to the show’s entertainment value. “Idol” is full of nice contestants saying nice things, which is not a surprise considering the point is to make people like you. But it’s a really boring show when everyone thinks the entire top 10 is destined for stardom.

“Idol” needs a judge who will say how far everyone really is from getting to their goals. It also needs someone who is willing to contradict the other judges and add some snark. Adam Lambert has been nothing but supportive in his returns to the show, but he’s also shown a willingness to challenge conventions and stand up for himself. He doesn’t seem like a guy who minds being booed, which would be a rare commodity these days.

Other options: Clay Aiken is another really good fit here. Or how about someone like HALEY REINHART, who seemed to get slammed every week in season 10 and still finished in third place?

RE: American Idol 2013
Adam is a good choice.His decision would,like any of the ones mentioned be based alot on how much he or she might feel they need it for a career boost.I'd love to see Melinda there.Tony Bennett certainly doesn't need a career boost at this point and he likes performing too much-he also turns 87 this year so it would be hard to see that happening.

Following the departure of alternative programming head Mike Darnell back on May 24, a source close to the situation tells The Hollywood Reporter that the network has appointed one of its own to step in and oversee American Idol and X Factor.

David Hill, a senior executive Vice President at News Corp. and a longtime fixture at Fox, where he ran Fox Sports Media Group, helped launch Fox Sports Japan, and advised for the company, will take on a network-producer relationship with the network's two singing competition shows. David will serve as the network’s point person for the producers and will search for someone to take Mike's place in running reality programming overall.

Chairman and CEO of Fox Networks Group Peter Rice and Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly reportedly chose David because of his experience with live events. "They see a strong transition in David. These shows are well-oiled machines in some cases," a source said. "He’ll serve as the main person from the network who’ll focus on them while a new as-yet-undetermined reality head will focus on development while getting up to speed on everything already in production and the pipeline."

David's skills with revolutionizing the sports-viewing experience could prove handy when it comes to season 13 of Idol.

The latest rumor to come out of the American Idol 2014 reboot V 13.0 is that mega producers Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager have been signed on to the show as producers for 19 Entertainment. The pair, who have a production company called Den of Thieves, would join newly hired showrunner Per Blankens, who was previously the producer of Swedish Idol.

The hiring of these two producing heavyweights make total sense when one considers that the ultimate goal is to get Idol back to the ratings juggernaut it once was...or at least close to it. These two have the experience in giving shows total makeovers, as they took over production for MTV Movie Awards last year, beating out The Voice’s Mark Burnett. They have also produced VH1’s “Divas” concert, the CMT Music Awards, and MTV’s Video Music Awards, so their resume is anything but light.

Overseeing it all will be veteran sports producer David Hill, who is another new hire by FOX after chief reality exec Mike Darnell left suddenly in May.

After the firing of Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick, it seems that the producing part of Idol is pretty well fleshed out, but there are still giant question marks when it comes to the judges table.

Keith Urban is the only one left who hasn’t confirmed an exit from the show, so he still may be a possibility for season 13. Jennifer Hudson’s $4-5 million contract has been hammered out but not executed, as the judge hiring process was put on hold with the reorganization of the producing and executive teams. We also know Kelly Clarkson turned down the role of judge, so it remains to be seen whether the rumor of an all-alum panel will come to fruition. One thing we do know for sure is that lovable and uber professional host Ryan Seacrest will be back, as he was one more year on his contract.

They had a low turnout at the first couple of auditions. But a pretty good crowd in Detroit. Chiara is there as part of her job with 19.

Perhaps the $$$ J-Lo expects will make the Idol execs finally realize what a truly bad idea that would be.
