Jordin Sparks says she 'wouldn't be a mean judge' if picked to take over Katy Perry's job on American Idol

Jordin Sparks isn't optimistic about her chances of replacing Katy Perry as a judge on American Idol, but she's open to the opportunity. She said she wouldn't be a 'mean judge.'

With Katy's replacement still unannounced by ABC, numerous A-listers have expressed interest in joining the judges' table, including Jelly Roll and Meghan Trainor. With the single dropping rapidly on the US iTunes chart less than a week after its July 11 release, Katy is reportedly panicking and insisting her team revamp their strategy to prevent her album from facing a similar fate. The source noted that Katy's biggest gamble was reuniting with Dr. Luke, the producer behind her hits like I Kissed a Girl and California Gurls, who has faced allegations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse from Kesha.
