Report: Chris Isaak being the #1 pick to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol…

Out of all names picked to replace Simon Cowell: Howard Stern, Conan O’ Brien, Perez Hilton and many others…look like American Idol/Fox is getting very close to finding their guy. Who is it? That’s right. It’s Chris Isaak! A singer/songwriter that is known to being similar to Elvis Presley and singing like Roy Orbison. He did songs like “Wicked Game” and “Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing”. Chris is also a film actor and has his own show, “The Chris Isaak Show”.

I hate American Idol, but this is actually a good decision. Chris is a very talented songwriter, I enjoy his music. If you’ve seen Chris’s interviews, he’s always been brutally honest and he is a kind of a dick (I meant that in a good way). I’d say go for Chris. I would watch American Idol again if he is hired. He would be entertaining. 🙂
