Steven Tyler didn’t want American Idol job

At first, Steven Tyler didn’t want the American Idol job.

The Aerosmith front-man became a judge this year along side fellow newcomer Jennifer Lopez and legendary judge Randy Jackson, however he was reluctant to take the job at first.

“I never wanted to do American Idol,” he said. “I turned around and said, ‘The show sucks. How can kids be [an] American idol? They haven’t played clubs, they haven’t paid their dues, that haven’t done what we did.’ I was wrong. They are out there, we just have to wade through a bunch of them.”
