Bret Michaels’ gritty performance on American Idol on Wednesday night earned him more than just applauds and a standing ovation from the roaring audience. If the indications are true, then the Poison frontman has zoomed past the competition to emerge as the new hot favorite to replace Simon Cowell as an American Idol judge!
According to Contactmusic,
The Poison singer ignored his doctors’ advice and took to the Idol stage for a duet with finalist Casey James. The ailing rocker, who is still recovering from a near-fatal brain haemorrhage and a recent stroke, was an instant hit with fans, who gave him a standing ovation as he walked out to sing a rendition of Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn. And Cowell was left so impressed he’s considering handing him his judging seat now that the Brit has quit the show after nine years on the panel. He says, “Actually, he’d be good. He’s funny. He’s got experience. He’d be a good choice – and you saw the audience reaction to him. They love him.”
Of course, we all love Bret Michaels. And I don’t wish to apologize for ending the title with an improper (at this stage) punctuation mark, because I’m damn sure that Bret has already secured the chair. Go Bret!
