Barack Obama has been approached to appear on American Idol to perform a duet with Al Green.
Earlier this month, the US President surprised many when he sang a few lines of Green's classic 'Let's Stay Together', which has also become the official song for his re-election campaign.
American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe directly tweeted Obama, saying: "We loved your vocal performance so much we'd love to invite you on to American Idol this season for a duet with Al Green."
The American Idol judges have previously given their reactions to Obama's singing abilities, with Steven Tyler describing him as "very soulful".
Madonna will debut the video for her new single 'Gimme All Your Luvin'' on American Idol on February 2.
