Yesterday we heard that American Idol was looking to book Adam Lambert as a judge for its upcoming 12th season, but it seems like the reality is that it was just a rumor according to Lambert himself.

Speaking to British radio station Capital FM, Adam says that he was just hearing about this news himself:

“I’m just hearing about this today as well and so what a beautiful rumor. Listen, if — and I say ‘if’ with a capital I-F — if they were to approach me and if they were to say, ‘We want you to be a judge on the show,’ I would love that. I would jump at the chance.” The singer released a statement on Monday reiterating that sentiment, which read, “‘Idol’ has an amazing history of introducing great musical talent, and I was very fortunate to have had the Idol stage play a big part in my career,” he said. “IF ‘Idol’ wants to talk to me about Judging, I’d be more than flattered to have that conversation.”

Adam seems enthusiastic at the possibility of returning in a judging capacity!

What are your thoughts about Adam Lambert potentially being a judge?
