Our take on Brianna and Jon sitting at the American Idol judges table.

Brianna and Jon should return to American Idol as mentors.

Although Brianna and Jon were just joking when they sat at the American Idol judges table, they got me thinking that they could make great mentors for future finalists.

It’s always exciting to see alums return to the show to help the contestants, And Brianna and J’s journeys could lead them back to the show to do the same As they make their Grand Old Opry debuts.

They’re on their way to breaking into the country music industry.

Throughout American Idol season 23,, Brianna and Jon, along with winner Jamal, impressed the judges, Carrie, Luke and Lionol Richenne voters with their sensational performances.

I loved seeing Brianna and Jon as the future of American Idol sitting in Carrie and Luke’s chairs, Although they were kidding about sitting in their seats.

It’s highly possible that someday it could happen.

I can’t wait to see what Brianna and John do next.
