American Idol viewers praised Alanis’ music and shared their suspicions that producers could be “testing” the music icon to see if she could be a permanent judge in the future.
One wrote on Reddit: “Hoping she tests well as a potential new judge.”
Another added: “Honestly I am so excited to see what Alanis Morrisette brings to the show.
“I absolutely love her music and I just hope she brings some constructive criticism.”

A third posted: “YES YES YES!!!!! I have been a fan since I was about 20 years old. I’m 50 now and still love her and blast her music in my car. I’m super excited!!”
“I adore her. I love her music especially her newer stuff and she seems so lovely and grounded,” yet another viewer enthused.
During Monday’s Idol episode, country star judge Luke Bryan, 46, teased that “big names” would be coming to Idol.
Shortly after Luke’s admission, Deadline reported that Alanis would be filling in for Katy amid her absence.

Ed Sheeran, 32, will also appear since the remaining finalists are set to perform duets of his hit songs.
The You Oughtta Know singer will serve as a mentor and judge.
Both Alanis and the Perfect singer will take the stage themselves for a song as well, with the British singer debuting a new single.
When People asked the Hot N Cold songstress about Ed and Alanis assuming their respective roles on Idol, she had a lot to say.
KATY’S REACTION
“I loved the reaction from the contestants,” Katy admitted to the news outlet.
“I idolize Alanis, Jagged Little Pill [Alanis’ award-winning breakout album] is the reason I do music.”
She added: “Ed Sheeran is the best producer, writer, artist, life-liver. I’m really excited to watch his documentary because I know that he’s been through a lot.
“These are two people who always stay true to themselves and are real so I think it’s awesome to have them as judges.”
Katy being gone will most likely be welcomed by Idol fans since many have been slamming her online and calling for her to be fired.
She faced scrutiny over her treatment of the show’s contestants, leading fans to demand that ABC executives cut her from the show.
