'American Idol' producer wants Obama to sing on the show

Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of popular reality singing competition “American Idol,” is using Twitter to campaign for his goal to get President Obama to sing on the show.

Lythgoe tweeted the idea Friday and followed up on Monday even though Obama has yet to reply.

Lythgoe tweeted: “@BarackObama we loved your vocal performance so much we'd love to invite you on to #AmericanIdol this Season for a duet with Al Green.”

Obama showed off his singing voice earlier this month, singing the first line of Al Green’s legendary song “Let's Stay Together” at a campaign event.

The reality show, currently airing on FOX in its eleventh season, frequently hosts musicians for performances and legendary singers for cameos.
