American Idol - It's now OFFICIAL

[Guest EXPAT]

It's official, your new American Idol judges are Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson! Everyone gave a heartfelt toast about being on the show after we ate last night. They are going to see the first contestants today, Sunday, Sept 16.

And here is there official judges position at the table. I knew Mariah would be on the far left. She is obsessed with the right side of her face being her only good side. LOL

With 4 judges, how do they decide when it's 50/50?

Does one judge's opinion count for more?

[Guest EXPAT]

they need 3 yes votes to go through just like X Factor and back when Idol had 4 judges.

How disappointing ! I truly dont believe Nicki and Keith were "concscious" choices, I mean WHY would you seek these 2 out ??? Nicki is kinda like Demi Lovato on X Factor, new to the business and really in NO position to judge talent IMO. and Keith Urban ??? How BLAND !!!! Every time you see him on a red carpet he is silent and taking a back seat to his famous wife Nicole Kidman.... Really, other than Mariah, this panel holds NO interest for me.....

Randy Jackson is back? What a downer. I thought we were finally rid of him and his slaughtering of the English language.

It's obvious that Brit Twit, Nigel Lythgoe, is going for American Idol:The CSI Season.

Already, on the first day of taping, there is public disdain and mud slinging between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. I'll bet a buck this will become the centerpiece of the show and whatever good talent may come there way will play second fiddle to the diva and diva wanna-be.

What a sad end to a once formidable and entertaining show.

AI out.

Speaking of The Voice. . .As rumored, the next season of The Voice will have a different panel of judges with Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green taking a break (it sounds like they'll be back next fall) and replaced by Shakira and Usher.
