Kelly Clarkson Speaks Out: The Rumors Are Finally Confirmed!

Kelly Clarkson will not replace Katy Perry on American Idol. Despite hope from her fans, the 42-year-old told Deidre Behar that she wouldn’t be on American Idol. As quoted on Entertainment Tonight, Clarkson said, “I promised my kids I wouldn’t.” I wanted to be there as much as I could. I would have to move to L.A., which is why I had to quit The Voice. I miss them.”

This ends the chance of the show’s most famous winner returning as a judge. In 2002, Kelly Clarkson won American Idol with her debut single, “A Moment Like This,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100. Clarkson is one of the most successful singers in competition history. She has also had a successful T.V. career. Clarkson announced American Idol at the 51st Daytime Emmy Awards, where she and her team won an Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series. Clarkson is one of the country’s best-loved talk show hosts.

Many famous names are being linked with the vacant American Idol judging position, but it is still being determined who will get the role. Some fans think Meghan Trainor will get the job. She told Entertainment Tonight that she wants it. In an interview, Trainor said she wants to be a judge on American Idol. That would be my dream come true. Please consider me for your show. American Idol, please! Please! I’m ready. “I would love to.”

American Idol will return for a 23rd season, and the judging position will be filled soon. For updates on this and other American Idol news, follow Collider. You can stream American Idol on Hulu.
