"Bret Michaels has reportedly said that he would give &amp;quot;awesome&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; advice if he was a judge on American Idol.  The Poison frontman appeared on the season nine finale of the Fox competition, and departing judge Simon Cowell later joked that the rocker would be a good replacement for him.  &amp;quot;He\u2019s funny. He&amp;#039;s got experience. He&amp;#039;d be a good choice - and you saw the audience reaction to him. They love him,&amp;quot; said Cowell. Speaking to People, Michaels \u2013 who recently won The Celebrity Apprentice - said: &amp;quot;For a lot of these young musicians, I\u2019d be able to give them incredibly awesome and very, very real advice. Not just the music, but their attitude and what it\u2019s going to take. Because everyone forgets one simple thing - Once you get chosen as the winner, you still have a big road ahead.&amp;quot; The 47-year-old continued to say that he would bring his &amp;quot;heart and soul&amp;quot; to the judging table. &amp;quot;I would tell them if I thought their chances of making it were really slim and how to fix that,\u201D he added. \u201CBecause my chances of making it were extremely slim. It&amp;#039;s come from brute determination.&amp;quot; Michaels recently resumed touring after suffering a string of medical problems in recent weeks, including a brain haemorrhage and symptoms of a stroke. Fox previously said that the new judge will be announced this summer. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
