'Yes, I'm interested:' Aretha Franklin for American Idol judging role

Aretha Franklin has expressed interest in becoming a new judge on American Idol.

The 70-year-old soul singer has shown interest following the departures last week of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler - who quit after two seasons on the Fox show.

Franklin sent out an email on Saturday saying: 'Yes, I am interested as a judge,' when asked about a potential role on the talent programme, according to reports.

The 18-time Grammy winner would certainly bring a wealth of experience to the gig if she was to be given a place.

Freemantle Media -- the makers of Idol - or Fox are yet to comment on whether there would be interest in recruiting Franklin.
