American Idol is one of the most famous competitions on television, not only because of the number of talented artists who participate but also because of the iconic judges who have been present in recent seasons.

Despite the success of season 22, Katy Perry has announced that she is ready to leave her seat as a judge, as she wants to release new music, which has already been announced for the summer.

Therefore, many have been speculating about which star would take the role of the “Roar” singer, and one of the strongest rumors indicates that Adele has been chosen to join Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan in season 23.

Will Adele replace Katy Perry in American Idol Season 23?

Although so far these are just rumors, everything indicates that the team behind American Idol may have already found a new star to fill the vacant judge’s seat left by Katy Perry in the reality show.

Adele could be the icon to complete the trio of judges, also comprising country singer Luke Bryan (known for hits like “Drunk on You”) and legend Lionel Richie, during the new episodes of season 23.

She is not the only figure speculated as a replacement, as other names such as Jelly Roll and Fantasia Barrino have also been mentioned. However, the “All I Ask” singer is the strongest contender so far, and many fans hope it is true.
