‘American Idol’ season 14 spoilers: Adam Lambert to fill in for grieving Keith Urban
There is some big news breaking on the “American Idol” front today, but we definitely wish that it was coming under different circumstances.
Fox confirmed today for the upcoming auditions that are taking place in the New York area, season 8 superstar Adam Lambert will be coming in to fill the role of guest judge. Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman are currently mourning the loss of her father, and Adam is filling in here at the last minute. Our thoughts are certainly with the two of them.
As a judge, we definitely have the utmost confidence that Adam will do a great job. He’s done a guest role like this on numerous shows over the years, and he was on it just this past season as a mentor for many contestants before the start of the live shows. He knows not only what it takes to be a star on this show, but also how to make the most of your moments. We never saw it with him being a case of just trying to win a talent show; he was trying to build a brand and establish himself for many years to come. (At one point, there were even rumors that he would be a permanent judge.)
This also does keep a great streak going in regards to Adam being associated with the series. He has been present for the show in some way just about every year since he was first on it more than five years ago.
Of course, we are going to have some further “American Idol” updates moving forward, so be sure to stay tuned for more. You can check out some further updates related to the show over here, or, sign up now for some more updates worth singing about via our CarterMatt Newsletter.

This move benefits everyone. Adam has a new album out probably at the first of the year and Idol can illustrate first hand what being on the show can do for a career. It was because of Idol that he got hooked up with Queen and they just finished an AMAZING tour with people saying it was the best thing they ever went to.

Adam will bring his Knowledge Honesty and Class to the show while he’s on. Adam Broke the Mold on Idol and for every singing competition show so there’s no one more Qualified to judge and mentor a future Star then Adam Lambert. It will be a great week with him on and I’m sure ratings will reflect it.

I’m so sorry for the circumstances but sooooo happy they turned to Adam Lambert to fill in for Keith! Adam should have been a judge 2 years ago. I’m hoping they’ll keep Adam and have 4 judges this year!!! I’d even watch a FULL show…something I haven’t done since American Idol Season 8….you guessed it….Adam’s season! ;)
