Continuing from yesterday.. Katy is plenty big name they don't need other "names" but cred would be important and successful idols can be part of that. Totally understand why they would announce Katy first - nothing controversial or downside for advertisers. No blowback or torrential right wing slurs on social media. Sure, bound to be some but not what Adam would get if for example he had been named before anyone else. I think Freemantle likes Adam and they are a big push behind this, not just ABC. Disney has learned to just stand their ground on gay bashing, (see recent Beauty & the Beast). Besides Adam's a poster child for squeaky clean compared to most rockers. Adam not wanting to do it because of creative freedom? Hah! How do you think stars get creative freedom. They pay some dues and rake in money and notoriety. This isn't just what's on the TV screen a couple of times a week, it's the ongoing press in other shows, on mags, in print. It doesn't get bigger than this.And yes, I'll be throwing a hissy fit if he doesn't get it.In response to the highlighted parts above... . I can't possibly think of a change in disposition or any other projects and commitments for Adam that would be big enough to turn down this gig, if it was offered to him. How about being on tour with Queen on another continent! Sometimes, people just are not available!! I still wonder if Idol originally went to DMG for Adam. Then found out he wasn't available but Katy was. IMO, getting Katy is huge! She HeWhoCannot ameds anyone ever on The Voice or XF!

I might be wrong but I don't think Adam has Queen obligations around then.

I might be wrong but I don't think Adam has Queen obligations around then. Don't they shoot the audition rounds around November for airing starting in late January-February? Or at least isn't that what they did in the past? Adam will be in Europe in November, won't he?

ABC is currently saying the shows begin in March 2018. Have no idea about the auditions schedule...where or when. Patti said the judges aren't involved in the early auditions.
IDT we have any news of Adam's schedule after the end of this year. There was speculation of QAL in So America in Sept....and I saw some hope for OZ/Asia...maybe later.

Possible unpopular opinion, but I really, really hope Adam doesn't lose out on Idol because of QAL. I'm not one of those fans who breaks out in hives at the mention of QAL, but if more international dates pop up that would preclude him from accepting a judging slot on Idol, IMO that would not be a good trade - especially with all the time he's already devoting to the collaboration this year. Idol would give Adam broad U.S. visibility, which QAL won't do. Of course if the commitments are already in place, so be it, but it would be a shame.

I think the QAL commitments were already in place. Just guessing that with a new staging and new set,ist, QAL might have more to come, after Dec. OZ/NZ? More Asia? With Idol starting in March and a new network, this is new territory. Have no idea when the judges roynds of auditions might be. I am guessing, Feb, after Katy's tour. The show won't go live until around April.

Then found out he wasn't available but Katy was. IMO, getting Katy is huge! She HeWhoCannot ameds anyone ever on The Voice or XF! ABC needed a major star signed before the upfronts. I think that Katy would have to be on any list of major pop stars that ABC would put together -- I am pretty sure they were not redirected. Since The Voice has two of the biggest ex-Idols, the idea of an Idol finalist judges panel was precluded. [Kelly and JHud committed to The Voice before ABC got Idol.] Adam would be a great judge but he is not a big enough star to impress advertisers. They needed someone big -- and Katy is as big as they get. The other contenders in her league are Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, etc. None of the ex-Idols, including Kelly Clarkson, is in this league. Plus, Katy helps them sign the 3 major sponsors they are targeting. [Pepsi is looking like they might be on board. Coke already has The Voice.] Continuing from yesterday.. Katy is plenty big name they don't need other "names" but cred would be important and successful idols can be part of that.

I can't possibly think of a change in disposition or any other projects and commitments for Adam that would be big enough to turn down this gig, if it was offered to him. We know Adam really wanted the Idol judging slot in 2013 but that was before the QAL Tours and before he was signed to WBR. The show was in LA and the schedule worked really well for him. I can think of a few reasons Adam might not agree to be an Idol judge: 1. They don't offer him a great deal - enough money, terms he likes, etc. [Unlikely.] 2. Adam and his management decide that something else makes more sense for him and they pass. [Unlikely.] 3. Adam does not want to spend so much time in NYC vs. LA. 4. Adam and his management decide that a more limited role in ABC Idol is better for what he wants to achieve. He already is strongly connected with Idol and if he becomes a judge, that connection will be forged forever. 5. Adam is not available in Nov-December 2017 because of QAL so can only take some other role like live performance mentor. I am not expecting to see Adam as an AI Judge for the 2017-2018 season but would be pleasantly surprised. I am expecting to see Adam involved with the show in some way. IF I WAS RUNNING IDOL -- I would pass on Ryan Seacrest and I would hire Adam as host -- pay him huge amounts of money and give him a monstrous, massive clothing allowance. He is charming, funny, quick-witted and would be great with the contestants. And it would be different to have a host who also performed. And I would have him perform every week. #Dreaming!

Keep dreaming, that will never happen!
