Garth, Vince As Simon Cowell's Replacement? Kara's Open To It

If Garth Brooks or Vince Gill wanted to become a judge on "American Idol," at least one person would support bringing them on the panel. Discussing possible replacements for Simon Cowell, "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi recently told BuzzSugar.com, quote, "I can even see someone from the country world, maybe a Garth Brooks or a Vince Gill." She explained, quote, "I think a lot of people that love country music tune in; they're a large part of our audience, so I think that would be an interesting flip on it." Several country stars launched their careers as finalists on the hit Fox reality show, including Kellie Pickler, Bucky Covington, Phil Stacey, and Danny Gokey, while Carrie Underwood was "Idol's" season four winner. She's gone on to become one of the most successful stars to get their start on the show.
