Courtney Love may be a loony former drug addict with an impressive rap sheet and a penchant for acting out in public, but she?s also a brutally intelligent, witty rock chick with an encyclopedic knowledge of music. Paul Abdul, on the other hand, is just a crazy pill popper with an overactive mothering instinct. So, the news that Courtney may be replacing the increasingly bonkers Abdul as a judge on Amrican Idol, is, in our opinion, welcome. Here’s why:
- Love might actually be able to challenge Simon for the Meanest Amrican Idol judge crown. She can be cruel…and just as witty about it as Cowell.
- Love could provide some legitimate criticism for the would-be rocker idols. Nobody wants Paula Abdul or the guy who brought us Il Divo discussing the finer points of a Skynyrd cover.
- Grrrl power. We’re 100 percent into the Kely Clarkson thing, but that was years ago. When was the last time a seriously rocker-like chick (and not some rapidly shrinking, vapid pop tart in the making) was a contender for the Idol crown? Love’s presence would help wrangle Amrica’s riot grrrl talent.
What do you think? Would Courtney make a good addition to the Idol team? What would she bring?
