Carrie Underwood reveals what kind of American Idol judge she will be 20 years after winning as contestant

As a dedicated follower and fan of American Idol since its early seasons, I am thrilled to see Carrie Underwood returning to the show after two decades since her triumphant victory. Her unique blend of talent, versatility, and humility makes her an ideal choice for a judge on this iconic series.


20 years since Carrie Underwood initially shone as a contestant, she’s now shared her anticipated style as a judge on American Idol.

In 2005, the 41-year-old achieved widespread recognition after winning the fourth season of the reality competition show that captured the country’s attention.

20 years later, she will reappear on the series for its Season 23 in 2025, taking her place alongside judges such as Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

She’s stepping into Katy Perry’s role, who had been a part of American Idol for seven years before she announced her exit earlier in the year.

As an over-the-moon fan, I’m thrilled to share that Carrie herself has spilled the beans about what we can expect from her as a judge, during an engaging chat at the glamorous Resorts World in the vibrant city of Las Vegas with SiriusXM.

As a versatile artist who’s dabbled in various musical genres, I proudly claim: ‘I relish the chance to adapt my perspective, ensuring that when I evaluate auditions, I can don any lens necessary, catering to the diverse range of tunes I envision.’

As a lifestyle guide, I firmly believe in being truthful yet compassionate in my interactions, striking the delicate balance between honesty and kindness. This, to me, is the essence of effective communication.

Carrie observed that as people arrive, they become a part of someone else’s tale, essentially living out their dreams.

She went on: ‘So I think it’s important to be honest but I think it’s also very important to be kind, so hopefully I can marry all of those together and be a good judge.’

I’m honored to be filling in for Katy Perry, who made headlines as an American Idol judge back in 2017, with a reported annual salary of an impressive $25 million per season.

Previously, Katy Perry faced repeated criticism and accusations of bullying on social media due to her sharp comments towards show contestants during live broadcasts.

According to an exclusive report from DailyMail.com, it was previously stated that she was nearing resignation from the ABC reality show, as she felt betrayed by the producers who deliberately portrayed her as the harsh judge on the program.

A few months after online debates erupted, Katy revealed during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in February that she planned to depart the show following its 22nd season.

When Carrie was named as Katy’s substitute on the judging panel, Lionel expressed his excitement by praising her, stating that she possessed the skills and background to excel as an outstanding judge, having been a former participant on the program herself.

As a fellow art enthusiast, I can truly understand your emotions. While I haven’t walked the path of ‘American Idol’, she has – giving her a unique perspective that resonates with you and me alike. This is what she shared with E! News.

In August 2004, Carrie made it onto American Idol following an impressive audition, where she sang Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”

In the year that followed, people all over the U.S. developed a strong affection for Carrie, as her talent propelled her forward on American Idol, ultimately leading her to win the competition for that season.

Back then, the panel of judges consisted of Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul, with Ryan Seacrest in his current role as the host.

After that, I found myself soaring to extraordinary heights in the world of country music, accumulating a remarkable 25 CMT Music Awards, a testament to my success. I’m frequently recognized alongside Kelly Clarkson as one of the select few American Idol winners who have maintained an A-list career post-competition.
