Luke Bryan Feels The Pressure On ‘American Idol’

Luke Bryan is out promoting American Idol and stopped by Good Morning America yesterday as well as Live with Kelly & Ryan.

On Good Morning America Luke admitted that he’s been feeling a bit of pressure on “AI,” sharing, “I mean, I have laid awake… worrying about, ‘Did I make the right decision?’ with some of these contestants,” he shared. “It’s so critical.”

Luke says he found it hard to criticize other singers, noting “it’s a little out of my comfort zone to just pick people apart,” but in the end he realized he had to, offering, “It’s what you signed up for.”

Meanwhile, during his visit to Live with Kelly & Ryan, Luke admitted to sneaking in a little booze to help him get through auditions. “”I had a beer. One beer,” he joked. “Hey, I figure all my fans drink beer and listen to me. I figure, I can sit back, have a beer, watch some contestants.”

ONE MORE THING! Luke was supposed to appear on The View tomorrow, but his appearance has been pushed to Friday.
