Carrie Underwood is replacing Katy Perry on American Idol.
According to Variety, Carrie — who won Season 4 of the show — will join Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie for Season 23 of the hit reality competition series.
Does this give Idol a country slant? Maybe, but keep in mind that Carrie has recorded with artists like John Legend, Aerosmith, Ludacris, David Bisbel, NeedToBreathe and Cece Winans. She has also toured with Guns ‘N Roses.
The first round of auditions for season 23 of Idol begin on August 12th in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
