Rocker Steven Tyler still doesn’t know if he will be joining the panel of judges on American Idol. This is because the TV execs have not presented him with an official contract yet. The lead singer of Aerosmith confirmed earlier this month that he was contemplating accepting the job after he was asked by producers to step in as judge in replacement of Simon Cowell and Ellen Degeneres.
He said, “This beautiful girl from Fox (TV) came up to me and made an offer. I honored her offer… and it’s just a work in progress. They mentioned it and I listened, and we’re on tour, so I gotta give it some time.”
But Tyler admits he still doesn’t have a concrete offer. He tells TMZ.com, “You know, I don’t know (if he’s doing American Idol), they (producers) haven’t called me yet. They got to lay out the bread (money) for me!”
The rocker believes he is an ideal addition to the show because he can be aptly critical. He said, “I’m very judgemental of the guys in the band. I know when to say, ‘Don’t bore us – get to the chorus!’ and I think I’d bring credibility to that forum if I was asked to do it.”
