Even though it hasn’t even been confirmed that Jennifer Lopez is leaving ‘American Idol,’ as soon as rumors hit, so did whispers of who’d fill her high-heeled shoes. Adam Lambert was reported to be heavily considered for the judging spot, and with good reason — he’s one of the most successful ‘Idol’ alumni the show’s ever had.
