Adam Lambert, a familiar face from his time on 'American Idol,' recently shared his thoughts on potential replacements for Katy Perry at the judges' table. Lambert, who rose to fame as a runner-up on the show, suggested that country music superstar LeAnn Rimes would be a great fit for the role.

Rimes, known for hits like 'Blue,' has had a successful career spanning decades in the music industry. Lambert, who competed on 'American Idol' in 2009, praised Rimes for her down-to-earth nature, spirituality, and sense of humor.

Perry, who announced her departure from the show after seven seasons, expressed her love for 'Idol' but indicated a need to explore new opportunities. Fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan were surprised by Perry's announcement but acknowledged her plans for the future.

In response to Perry's departure, potential replacements like Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson have been suggested. Clarkson, the show's original champion, cited family commitments as a reason for not joining the judging panel.

As speculation continues about who will fill the vacant seat on 'American Idol,' fans eagerly await the announcement of the new judge who will bring fresh perspectives to the popular singing competition show.
