Carrie Underwood Takes Over for Katy Perry on American Idol

That's a pretty exciting shake-up for American Idol! Carrie Underwood is a big name in country music and has a lot of experience both as a performer and as someone who's been through the competition herself. Her presence on the judging panel could bring a fresh perspective and a lot of insight into what it takes to succeed on the show. It sounds like this new season will have a great mix of talent and experience with Underwood joining Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

Underwood will debut for Season 25.

What do you think of the new lineup?
