AEROSMITH's STEVEN TYLER Says He Would Return To American Idol "If It Was Right"; Video Interview
May 10, 2018, 6 years ago
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was recently interviewed by ET correspondent Brooke Anderson at SiriusXM Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, to talk about his new documentary, Steven Tyler: Out On A Limb, where he also got candid about his time judging the hit singing competition American Idol, alongside Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson. Tyler - who joined the panel in season ten, but left in 2012 after two seasons - says he's watched the Idol reboot with judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
"I have, and I will also be not politically correct again," Tyler says. "I thought that what we had was very special. Sitting next to J.Lo, I would say things that were totally inappropriate. And this side of me where she sat, black and blue. Because I was right, and it was funny ..."
Tyler shares that he would actually go back to Idol under the right circumstances. "Yes, if it was right," he says. "Sure, and so would Randy."
