Perfect choice, much like the other comments, a man who can move people in the right direction, someone who actually knows what they’re on about, real talent for the right job!

Absolutely John Foreman is the best credentialed candidate. It would be refreshing to see someone who is not an idiot on TV for a change

Good Call David.

John would be a great choice. Definitely a move in the right direction for AI.

Foreman is a top idea. Masterchef has shown that Australian audiences are sick of “nasty”. Experienced, intelligent, warm…John would be perfect!

John is the best choice for this role. He brings talent, credibility, and humour. He has also worked with young singers on a number of TV show. Very obvious replacement and bring class to the show.

David, you are a clever man, I believe you nailed the new judge for Idol……..Agree with poster ‘Querty’ as I too watched the 7pm project and caught what Dicko said……the wait is on !!

Looks like you could be right on the money David.
Dicko on the seven PM prodject just said that – he doesnt know for sure, but from what he has heard “it is a man, fairly young, is a creative type – producer, writer…”

You sure know how to pick them

Yeah, that’s all well and good, but could Channel Ten get him back? I saw him on 20 to 1, isn’t he with 9 now?

I wholeheartedly agree, John Foreman is the best choice. I would definitely watch if he was on. He’s got a great bubbly personality and quick wit. He’d bring back the wholesome family feeling to idol and keep it light and fun.

Idol also needs judges interested in finding and nurturing the next big talent, not those interested in exploiting them, Kyle…..cough cough. He has extensive musical knowledge and experience and could offer valuable feedback to the contestants as well as bring some much needed entertainment value. I’m sure Idol would draw in a much wider audience this year if he was on the panel.

Yes please… Bring on John Foreman!!

Look at the success of Master Chef, Judges who were in the industry and knew the subject and helped mentor the talent. They were great because they didnt make the show about themselves.

John Foreman is a perfect example of a real enduring Australian talent. He knows his stuff, he is funny and he is real. Idol is supposed to be about nurturing budding Australian talent and I think he would be the perfect man for the job!!!

John would inject level headed professionalism to the Idol judge panel. There is a strong public tilt towards fairness and experience, as opposed to tabloid style abuse and shock jock judging. I’d give him the thumbs up.
