Netizens shared their opinion on Meghan Trainor as potential 'American Idol' judge

The Internet felt Trainor may not be able to do justice as an 'American Idol' judge.

One person wrote on Facebook, "Surprisingly, I thought Gene Simmons was a great mentor and would be a great judge."

"Not right for her. She’s not mature enough. Jelly Roll was amazing and so great with the kids," another felt.

A critic wrote, "She was a terrible judge on Australian Idol . All she did was scream, constantly and made baby noises. We were happy when she left."

"I don’t think she’d be the right fit. Nothing against her, she’s just not the one," a user remarked.
