John to be a judge in 'Next Great' Fox series

'Next Great' Fox series hunting for best band
Sheila E. (The Glamorous Life) and the Goo Goo Dolls' John Rzeznik will headline the judging panel on The Next Great American Band, a new music competition from the producers of American Idol.
The rest of the field tilts Down Under: Australian Idol's Ian "Dicko" Dickson is the third judge, and New Zealand Idol's Dominic Bowden hosts the Fox series. It premieres Oct. 19.
As with Idol, the judges will narrow down auditioning bands. Once a field of 10 is chosen, the bands will perform original music and covers of various styles each week in front of a studio audience. Judges will comment, but viewers will vote on who stays.
The three surviving bands will compete for a contract with 19 Recordings in the season finale.
Last week, the judges took part in a Las Vegas round in which they narrowed the field. "The experience was more like boot camp," says Sheila E., who has been musical director for Prince, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez. "We actually heard a lot of great bands, (and) we heard a few people we could have gonged. "

I distinctly remember John saying how he was so opposed to American Idol. So I don't know what to think of this.

Good question Drew. I have no idea how time consuming this show will be or how much he's involved. I'm still shocked he agreed to do it at all.

This doesn't make any sense.
I never knew John to judge anything...or dare I say, sell out?
I'm with you Shannon, I don't know what to think of this at all...

We can only imagine. 
I hope she got home alright. She left my house around 10:30 this morning. Let's hope she didn't get too lost in Windsor.

Ditto. I guess we'll all have to wait and see if this comes about. I admit I will be a little surprised and disappointed if he is a judge, he's never seemed to show any interest in doing this sort of thing before. Then again, I guess it gives him more exposure, which might be good for the band...? Hmm, I guess I'll stay on the fence on this one for now.

Yep. I'm going to reserve judgement as well. As opposed to the whole American Idol notion as he was, this must be a good setup or he wouldn't be doing it. We'll just have to trust his judgement for now.
