Elton John to Replace Simon Cowell

elton party 131209

Its been less than a week since Simon Cowell announced his exit from “American Idol” after this season, yet there has been constant speculations as to who is going to replace him on the extremely popular singing show. But now, TMZ may have given AI the idea for a possible replacement – indicating that Elton John could be the right choice.

On TMZ TV — the day Simon announced he was leaving — we floated Elton John as the guy who should take Simon’s seat. After all, he knows music, he’s certainly got the bitchy attitude, and he’s British.

John is now the talk of the set as a favorite replacement for Cowell. He has already had practice in the judging seat after making a guest appearance during season 3. No comment has been made from Elton’s camp confirming if he is or isn’t interested in the gig, instead saying he was too busy ‘on holiday’ to address the rumors. I like this idea 100x’s better than Ryan Seacrest pulling double duty!

I’d love to see Elton John replace Simon. Just to see how interesting it gets.
