American Idol<\/em><\/a> has secured its newest judge to replace Katy Perry<\/a>. Carrie Underwood<\/a> will join the judging panel<\/a>. As fans know, Underwood shot to stardom after winning the fourth season of the show when it aired on Fox before its move to ABC.<\/p>\n

She’s expected to take a seat alongside Lionel Richie<\/a> and Luke Bryan<\/a> for Season 25.<\/p>\n

The ABC network has been looking for a replacement for several months. Before Underwood, other celebrities in talks included Miley Cyrus<\/a> and Justin Bieber<\/a>. Luke Bryan also hinted that Pink<\/a> and Meghan Trainor<\/a> were being considered.<\/p>\n

Underwood, with around 85 million records sold, is widely regarded as the most successful American Idol <\/em>winner. She first auditioned for the Fox show with Bonnie Raitt<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cI Can’t Make You Love Me,\u201d and her rendition of \u201cAlone\u201d was thought to be a key factor in her victory.<\/p>\n
