He was probably the most fair judge this season.

I thought Marcia was replacing Meghan, I wasn’t aware that Harry was also leaving.

I liked her. She has a cute and funny personality. She’ll become one of my favourite female singers once I go through her songs on Spotify.
Maybe find someone Australian who has had success overseas like Darren Hayes from Savage Garden.

Phil Burton can become a judge. He is on DWTS, so he is in “their hands”…

Or no one. Why is this program returning AND returning to the same slot it failed in?

Probably some contractual obligation to make at least two seasons.

I agree. It failed against MAFS earlier this year. I don’t know why they want to do the same thing again.

Marcia is replacing Meghan as an Idol judge, according to News Corp’s exclusive interview with Marcia.
After her cameo in the reboot of Australian Idol this year, the much-loved entertainer will make a full-time return to the judge’s panel for next year’s season, alongside her neighbour Amy Shark and old mate Kyle Sandilands, to replace Meghan Trainor who welcomed her second son Barry this week.
Hines said she was delighted when she was invited back to Idol this year after a fan-led campaign.
“I was surprised and delighted because I really love that gig: I don’t know if people realised how much it meant to me,” Hines said.
“Why? Because like me, they just want to sing, they want to find a career in singing.”

I have been listening to some chat on Nova lately and have come to the conclusion that Adam Lambert is going to replace Harry Connick Jr.
On Ricki Lee, Tim and Joel, they have been taking the piss out of Harry a lot lately by suggesting he is not as nice in person, as he pretends to be. In the past, Ricki Lee has been careful not to bag anyone else she works with and would no go along with any jokes Tim or Joel would make. Seeing this change now, suggests to me Harry is definitely not coming back.
Today, Fitzy and Wippa interviewed Adam Lambert for his appearances on Drag Race Down Under which is streaming now on Stan. It was a great interview and he was having fun chatting to the boys again. At the end of the interview Fitzy says, we need to have more of you on Australian television. Adam replies that we actually will see more of him on Australian television soon but he can’t say anything about that yet.
It must be Australian Idol.
