Carly Rae Jepsen suggests Justin Bieber for 'American Idol' judge role

Canadian songstress Carly Rae Jepsen has admitted that Justin Bieber would be fantastic as an 'American Idol' judge because he's been in the industry for so long, but is young enough to know what's popular.

During an interview with Hollywood Life, the 'Call Me Maybe' beauty explained that she believes he would rock the panel: "I think [Justin] would be great! I’m sure he’d be awesome."

When asked what skills the 'Boyfriend' star would bring to the show, Jepsen revealed that he understands what's current and relevant: "He’s got lots of great opinions when it comes to the music world, and he’s very experienced, especially for someone so young."

She then joked that she would be a terrible judge as her 'motherly' instinct would kick in and she would struggle with giving contestants criticism: "I think I would be terrible. For me, I think I would be too motherly and I would be like, ‘You should all go through! You did a great job! Let’s be friends…’”
