They should ask Geddy Lee if he's available.

Bono will not say "sorry, you're just not good enough" to anyone. This isn't coaching. This is judging. Bono forgets lyrics frequently, his voice gets shotty often, and has had some very tough times with his voice (POP for example) where his fans still did not ditch him.
So why would he feel content cutting people from some stupid American Idol competition simply because they were good singers but not great?

Not-so-great singers judge singers that are often times better than them on American Idol (and similar shows) all the time. Steven Tyler went through period where he performed drunk on stage, couldn't remember lyrics and slurred the ones he could. Paula Abdul was a habitual mess. Why should they have the ability to judge and Bono not? Don't get me wrong, I have no desire to see Bono on such a show, but there's no reason to think he wouldn't be good at it.
Really, you have no idea how Bono would theoretically perform as a judge, do you? I'm an intelligent fellow, but I can't presume to be an expert on how Bono would "feel" about cutting people from American Idol, nor what he would or would not be "content" to do.
But perhaps you have insight I do not.
Geddy gets his critique on in this classic vid...
somewhere around the 2 minute mark.

Not insight, just intuition. Rather than judging singing competitions, Bono Man would probably want to be the singing competition.
And you know, make music and stay relevant with younger generations, rather than critiquing the younger generation's singing skills.
Of course, this is all up to Bono so any speculation, even my own, is just speaking from one's ass. But some shit tastes better than others.

Um...OK. I'll just have to take your word on that one.

I don't think Bono's really a good fit to judge that type of artist. It's not just that they're bad, but it's that they all wreak of amateurism (different than just sucking), whereas Bono has the most...I don't know...X-Factor of pretty much anyone. He's got intangible characteristic about him, which is what they're looking for and part of his appeal as a judge, but I doubt he'd really be able to sympathize with the contestants.
But most importantly, he'd have to be subjected to c*nts like this:
Beautiful Day - Lee DeWyze American Idol WINNER - Finale - 2010 - YouTube

Not to be self-aggrandizing, but I can do a better Beautiful Day at karaoke half cocked. Seriously.
The lead singer of the local U2 cover band can do twice as well.

I haven't kept up with this thread, but I read the title as "Bono has said no to Cowbell." Obviously, U2 needs more cowbell.

I would hope that if Bono did American Idol, that he would drink nothing but the precious Dew, spiting the Coca-Cola gods who regulate and control American Idol. Bono would take a stand.
Would interference? I know a select few would call to arms, defending the Space Moon.

It's Vegeta, possibly Majin Vegeta, during the Buu Saga.

You failure.
It's Majin Vegeta right before he's using the Final Shine attack, where he kills himself to try and kill Boo. In the Majin Boo saga, of course.
