Jason Lipshutz of Billboard reports:
AEROSMITH frontman Steven Tyler discussed the possibility of joining American Idol as a judge next season - and what kind of judge he would be - during an interview Monday (August 2nd) with syndicated radio show, Kid Kraddick In The Morning.
"This beautiful girl from Fox came up to me and made an offer. I honored her offer… and it's just a work in progress," said Tyler. "They mentioned it and I listened, and we're on tour, so I gotta give it some time."When asked how he'd judge contestants on American Idol, Tyler said, "I would be honest to the ones that think they have it, and I would be truthful in the sense that if, to those that have it, they don't have it yet enough. And I would tell them exactly why, as I see it."
Tyler's radio interview follows his Saturday night appearance at an after-party at MGM Grand's Studio 54 in Las Vegas, where TMZ captured the rocker on tape saying that once Aerosmith's current tour wraps, "I'm probably going to be a judge on 'American Idol.' I'm doing it." What do you think? I'm doing it."
