    Miranda Lambert

    We all love Miranda - she's amazingly talented and is a great roll model for women in any genre of music. I also personally think it would be interesting to see how it would pan out to have Miranda on American Idol, and Blake Shelton on the Voice...

    Scotty McCreery

    This kid has personality and spunk, PLUS he's been through it. Scotty won the 10th season of American Idol.

    Luke Bryan

    He was a fun mentor on the Voice. He's one of the biggest names in country music! Plus he's a dad = natural teacher. All around a good choice as a judge.

    Kelly Clarkson

    Another obvious choice, seeing as she was the first ever American Idol winner! She's mega talented, and rumor has it, American Idol heard we wanted her to judge, and they're seeking her (ok, so maybe they didn't get the idea from us... we'll never know)

    Brad Paisley

    He's a stellar artist all around, plus he's got the personality to keep us all entertain. If him and Carrie were both there, we'd have that great chemistry that we see at the CMA's. We'd tune in for that!
