American Idol MC/Host Ryan Secrest, and judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan
During American Idol’s audition shows, Lionel Richie has come out with some wise words to the contestants, one of whom kept wanting to go back to “the good ol’ days” when he was “a star”. Lionel advised him: “If you keep going back in time, you’ll trip over your future.”
To another contestant, a young lady who could really sing but “wanted to stay safe”, so she picked a boring song to sing, Lionel said, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. You need to take that next step forward.”
And then there was Drew who imparted these words of wisdom: [Drew Carey on The Price is Right to a contestant who was trying to spin $1 on the wheel] “70 + 40 is … I would have explained it to you but you told me you were a drummer!!!” (Drew played trumpet in the HS marching band).
