Is Jamie Foxx Simon Cowell’s Replacement on American Idol?
There’s been plenty of speculation about who will fill Simon Cowell’s shoes when he exits ‘Idol’ after this season. The latest name to be tossed in the ring is non other than actor/singer, Jamie Foxx. Nothing has been confirmed, but Jamie seems to have some interest in the job. When questioned about the possibility, Jamie responded by saying:
“I would love to do it, but I don’t think I would be able to do it. I don’t think I could fill Simon’s shoes, but I would give it another perspective… what I want is for the kids to go from being contest participants to artists, and that’s where I would come in.”
Hmmm…..that sounds like he’s interested, in my opinion. I, personally, feel Jamie is an excellent choice. He’s definitely got the singing chops necessary to judge a true singing talent and I think he would be brutally honest, like Simon.
Do you feel Jamie is a good replacement for Simon? Speak on it…..

I admit that I was actually impressed when he was on last season and spent time with the contestants. I thought his feedback was very accurate. I don’t know why I sound surprised, but I guess I always viewed him as more of an actor, that’s all.
As long as it’s not Howard Stern, it can be anybody in my opinion. LOL.
