Luke Bryan ‘Proud’ of ‘American Idol’: ‘It’s a Daggone Blast!’

Luke Bryan knew that signing onto the American Idol reboot as a judge would require a lot of work, but the singer tells On Air With Ryan Seacrest it’s been the most rewarding job yet. 

“It’s like the most exciting, rewarding job in the world 
 watching the American dream unfold in front of your eyes and being some what of a facilitator and a guide and be able to offer up little suggestions to these immensely talented people — it’s a daggone blast!” Luke shared when he called into OAWRS on Thursday, December 7. “You know its going to be a lot of work 
 but I’ve loved every second of it.”

One aspect of the show that Luke appreciates most is that you don’t have to win American Idol to become a star. 

“I’m really proud of us because we truly are focused on one goal and we want to find several American Idols,” he added. “That’s the best thing about Idol. No. 1 doesn’t mean that’s going to necessarily be the American Idol in five years. When you get the opportunity to be in the top 5, you’re putting yourself in a unique situation.”

Listen to the full interview above. American Idol returns on ABC on Sunday, March 11, at 8 p.m.
