'American Idol' on the Charts: 'Sparkle' Spikes, The Story of Mandisa's 'Morning' Glory

'MORNING' HAS BROKEN: It’s amazing that no one thought of this earlier.

Adam Lambert, John Mayer and 5 More Rock Star Options for 'American Idol' Judge

Adam Lambert, John Mayer and 5 More Rock Star Options for 'American Idol' Judge

With Mariah Carey's impending arrival at the American Idol judges' table and Randy Jackson's status still unconfirmed, rumors abound about who'll take the open seat. Will it be a country star or does it make more sense to replace exiting rocker Steven Tyler with another?

Think about it: rock singers (with guitars) generally do well with the Idol audience. You could even say one took the title this year. But Phillip Phillips aside, David Cook, Chris Daughtry, Bo Bice, Constantine Maroulis, James Durbin and now Colton Dixon have made the genre proud.

Few can match Steven Tyler's success fronting Aerosmith, of course, but there are plenty more options of the long-haired and tattooed kind worth considering.
