The Daily Telegraph reports
Could The Voice be about to lose one of their favourite judges? Reports
out of the US at the weekend suggest the hit Channel 9 show could be set for a
panel reshuffle, with Keith Urban being wooed to join the cast of American
Idol.
The country
music superstar - who recently plonked down a bundle on a second apartment in
Milson's Point with wife Nicole Kidman - is thought to be at the top of the NBC
wish list following the departure of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
Idol producers
recently signed Mariah Carey as the new "head" judge and the diva is
rumoured to have "first approval" over the choice of her new
co-stars.
TV sources say
Urban is a prime candidate following his success on The Voice.
Joe Jonas is
also being looked at to fill a "pop star" role and a Latino performer
is also being sought after.
Country favourite
Reba McEntire was originally offered the job but turned it down. Channel 9 are
currently re-negotiating with Urban, Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem for a
second season of the sing-off show.
There was no
confirmation yesterday on what stage the negotiations are at.
