No one is happier about Carrie Underwood taking a seat at the American Idol judges table than resident judge Lionel Richie. “Carrie understands this better than anyone. She came from here. This is where she started. So, we welcome her and her addition to this show is going to be amazing,” commented Lionel.”She knows exactly what this navigation is all about. She’ll be able to mentor all the way through and even to the point of the winners,” The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame member does acknowledge that Carrie will not be like former judge Katy Perry, As he puts it, “Everyone is different from Katy.” He also acknowledges that “There’s only one Katy” And he knows Carrie will come onto the show adding her own sparkle and magic and draw from her experiences of when she was that contestant standing in front of the judges and then the American Idol TV audience. Lionel and Luke Bryan are welcoming her with open arms. On a side note, cudos to Lionel Richie for the Emmy nomination for “The Greatest Night in Pop.” The documentary about the making of “We Are the World” is getting the recognition deserved.
