The Band Perry took to the stage during season 12 of American Idol to perform with Janelle Arthur, who went on to finish fifth in the competition, but Arthur and The Band Perry's fans were not the only one's excited about what they saw.

Did the executives of "Idol" keep a close on 30-year-old Kimberly? Possibly. After hearing the show would have another judges overhaul, a survey popped up with Perry's name on it. Perry COULD be in the running to take a seat on the judges panel next season on "Idol".

With Keith Urban hoping to return for a second season, Perry and Urban would be a huge RELIEF on the show after the constant arguing last season between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.

"The Voice" has been having huge success with country music artists and Blake Shelton as a judge/coach on the show, so, it's very possible "Idol" has been taking notes and that's why Perry's name is being tossed around as a possible judge... along side Urban.
