Such a weird move for AI

[ZachJames]

Wow...I kind of laughed when I saw this. I don't know if it's awesome or totally weird.

[B Steady]

I don't like it.

[Linda]

Me either. I always got the impression that Dr.Luke likes the attention and fame side of the songwriting business (doing AI and interviews) whereas Max stays more behind the scene.
Maybe that's unfair but it's kinda offputting.

I don't blame him tho. He only got one life and why shouldn't he enjoy his position?

[Joshua]

I think Max is really the exception when it comes to wanting privacy on the level he does, so it's probably not a great comparison. But at the same time, I agree that it might not be the best idea for him in the long run, I can only see it cheapening his reputation, but hey, the general public already see him as that guy who creates annoying pop music.

[turnaround]

Mhh, it will be interesting to watch him and to hear his opinions but I rather have him in the studio together with Max working on new material for Katy/P!nk/etc.

Maybe they produce the winner song, which would be cool. And a Cheiron theme show would be great.

On 10/22/2004 the Swedish casting show "Idol" had a Max Martin theme show:

Daniel Lindström - That's The Way It Is (Celine Dion)
Paul Lötberg - Quit Playing Games (Backstreet Boys)
Geraldo Sandell - As Long As You Love Me (Backstreet Boys)
Darin Zanyar - Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely (Backstreet Boys)
Lorén Talhaoui - Stronger (Britney Spears)
Fillip Williams - I Want It That Way (Backstreet Boys)
Stina Joelsson - Oops... I Did It Again (Britney Spears)

hmm, I thought years ago he turned down a judging role on Idol? surely, he can't need the money?
I thought American Idol is on the downhill slide since Simon left?
anyway, if he does judge, I will watch it again.
There will probably be a Dr Luke night!

"According to Luke, that definitely does not include his own spot in the limelight. "I've been asked to be a judge on a really big TV show," he says. "You can use your head to figure out which one. And I turned it down." Why? "It's not what I need. For me to just be a face on something, I'd look at myself and be disappointed. I'd rather be the person behind the scenes making the show.""

Perez Hilton, I don't have words to describe this ... (I don't wanna be banned)... he wrote "Doctor Who" on the photo... unbelievable...

[J_A24]

Would be awesome to see Dr.Luke in AI, he's not known by much people outside the music world, but once they see his resume, people will simply be taken aback.

[j.fco.morales]

If this is true, I really hope Luke would play the creepy part of the judging panel just like Simon did. And I love the idea.
