Dim
the
lights,
Katy
Perry has
a
pitch
for
American
Idol.
The “Firework”
singer,
who
is
set
to
leave
the
ABC
competition series
after
this
season,
recently
revealed who
she’d
like
to
see
join
Lionel
Richie
and
Luke
Bryan
at
the
judges’
table.
“I
gotta
say
Jelly
Roll was
crazy
when
he
came
on
the
show,”
Katy told
E!
News after
American
Idol‘s
April
15
live
show. “I
was
convinced
at
anything
he
said.
He
could
run
for
president,
he
could
be
my
pastor,
I
might
go
back
to
church
for
him.
He
could
sell
me
anything.”
“So
I
love
him,”
she
noted
of
the “Wild
Ones”
artist,
who
recently
appeared
on
the
April
8
episode
of
Idol. “And
to
have
any
of
these
guys
plus
Jelly
on
the
show
would
be
amazing.
I
love
you,
Jelly!”

When
it
comes
down
to
it,
Perry
just
wants
her
replacement
to
speak
their
mind.
“I
want
a
truth
teller,”
she
added. “I
want
someone
that
is
not
afraid
to
tell
the
truth
in
a
graceful
way.”
