Dolly Parton Turns Down American Idol

Counrty singer Dolly Parton has reportedly turned down an offer to become one of the judges on American Idol.

Dolly Parton is convinced she wouldn’t be suited to the role, as she would be too nice to contestants, and wouldn’t want to tell them that they “suck.”

She has however agreed to have a night themed in her honour and to spend some time backstage with the finalists helping them learn her songs.

She said:

“I won’t be a judge. I couldn’t do that. I can’t tell people they aren’t doing a good job even if they ask me.

“To tell someone if they’re good or bad, or if they suck isn’t me.”
