In an interview with Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio inside the San Francisco Idol 10 auditions, Nigel Lythgoe says that a decision about judges will have to be made within the next 3 weeks.

I think decisions have been made,

“I think decisions have been made, let’s be honest about this.” said Nigel, “I think decisions have been made, and negotiations are taking place. And those negotiations, when you’re just dealing with ordinary people, and you say, ‘I want to take you out of everything for the next four months to do American Idol‘ that’s OK.When you’re dealing with stars who have other lives to concentrate on and you say, ‘I want to take you off the planet, and you’ll join us on planet American Idol’ for 4 months it’s really tough.”

“You’ve got to let them work everything out and of course come up with the money that they will appreciate.”

Nigel says he’s really excited to be back to the “Idol family.”  We’re pretty happy to have you back Nigel.  Now, please save the show!

According to Nigel, about 10,000 San Francisco hopefuls were standing in line this morning waiting to audition.

    Nigel, Please consider Chuck Negron formerly of Three Dog Night. He is so young at heart and entertaining. He is a quick wit and has his fans rolling on the floor with laughter when we go to his concerts, watch his videos, and visit his chat room. He is still an amazing entertainer and beautiful singer. He has perfect pitch, knows a hit when her hears it, and has been in show business for 50 years.
    Not only did he sing “The Show Must Go On,” he lived all kinds of experiences, knowing the show must go on. He has inspired many people to not use drugs, be positive, and be the best they can be.
    You must check into Chuck Negron. He is on Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace. Thank you.
