Steven Tyler announced he is stepping away as a judge on American Idol to focus on new music with Aerosmith! bit.ly – Subscribe Now! Facebook.com – Like Us! Twitter.com – Follow Us! American Idol judge Steven Tyler just announced that he will be stepping down from his judging chair. The Aerosmith rocker joined the show two seasons ago, and helped further the careers of winners Scotty McCreery and Phillip Phillips. In a statement released by Fox, Steven said, “After some long…hard…thoughts…I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress ‘American Idol’ before she boils my rabbit.” Incase you guys are a tad lost by his words, yes—that was a reference to Fatal Attraction. Steven explained that doing Idol distanced him from making music, saying, ” I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band.” He concluded by announcing that the next few years would be dedicated to making new music, calling it “the ultimate auditory takeover.” You guys can rest assured there was no bad blood between Steven and the Idol execs—he called the judging experience “over the top fun” but thinks it’s time to bring rock back! Aerosmith will be dropping a new album on November 6 and will tour shortly after. What’s interesting is that this news comes JUST HOURS after JLO strongly hinted that she’d be leaving the judges panel—with both Steven and JLO gone, we’re left with Randy Jackson and two (MAYBE 3?) open seats. Vote below on who your dream panel would be—and …

1D awesome pannel!!!! But wont have time
Musical legends as judges on american idol = disaster for their careers or maybe not?
That’s too bad. I prefer him rather than the other two. Besides Randys been there too long. I believe he should of left instead
you probably know who I’m referring to
someone who’s an “ICON” ; )
Who should be the next judges of American Idol?,,to be as fair as possible, some one with several years of experience in the music business, and has an appreciation for all genders of music. Maybe some producers that would like to take part in the open talent search!
miley cyrus, selena gomez, and taylor swift, more so taylor swift
)
Madonna should judge on Idol.
Randy better not leave either! Really! JLo and Steven were so funny on the show!!! I hope they don’t get someone like Miley Cyrus! Get someone everyone enjoys! Lime they did JLo and Steven!
It’s funny how everyone always leaves and then Randys left with no one！
cause the show forced philip flipphilips to win over that incredible jessica sanchez. show has no cred. and when they said, the show doesn’t want the next winner- the show wants a one hit wonder, they seen thru it all. … quietly leave these losers
Gosh ur outfits r always amazing!
my dream judges would be Carrie Underwood, Ellen, and (if randy doesn’t come back) then Adam Lambert or User.
Im an 18 yeard old girl, who appreciates good music. Sorry to disapoint you.

Thank God! I’ve been waiting for rock to come back! I hate all this rap and hip hop crap! Classic Rock all the way!!!!!!
