According to a new report from Vulture, FOX is considering a new twist on the judges for American Idol next year. In a bid to boost dwindling ratings, serious consideration is being given to the possibility of having former contestants on the judges panel. Their sources say Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson have already been approached and Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken are also being considered.
I think this is a great idea. This show has gotten incredibly stale since the judges table has become a revolving door of overpaid celebrities who just want to boost or promote their careers. The meddling of the producers who seemed frantic this year to manipulate the results has become increasingly apparent and this could be the breath of fresh air we’re looking for. If the show can get back to its roots and become genuine again, I might actually start watching again.
If I can’t have Harry Connick Jr. (who seemed frustrated with the show’s b.s.) I would love a panel of contestants. I might prefer to see Jordin Sparks instead of Hudson, who seems to be everywhere on my TV lately. If she’s not warbling at me about Weight Watchers, she’s taking over Smash. David Archuleta probably wouldn’t be considered because he’s just too nice. While his criticism wouldn’t exactly be constructive, it would be hilarious to watch him attempt to be critical of someone with his smile and laugh. How would he have reacted to William Hung or any of the awful auditions? Think of the look on his face! Cutie pie.
Who would you like to see on the judges panel next season? Can American Idol be saved?
Looks like it’s getting heated behind the scenes on the set of American Idol. Video leaked of Nicki Minaj yelling and cursing at producers and not wanting to put up with Mariah Carey. Mariah joins in the argument while Keith Urban sits there in the middle looking like he hates his life.
I don’t think it’s surprising that this is happening but it could also be a PR stunt to get people to watch. I’m thinking the fight is real but it was leaked on purpose. What do you think? Team Nicki or Team Mariah?
Watch the video here:
Well, it’s official. Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, and Randy Jackson are your new judges for season 12 of American Idol. Looks like Nick Jonas didn’t make the cut and Randy is sticking around. It looks like they’re trying to grab some of the country audience with Keith and are hoping for ratings with Nicki’s antics. Will it work? Or is it time to report engine failure? While the show may not be as interesting, I still like the judges on The X Factor more.
What do you think of the new judges? Will you be tuning in for the new season?
Well..this is interesting. Multiple sources are confirming that Nicki Minaj has joined the judges table on American Idol. She will be sitting at the table with Mariah Carey. If the rumors about Nick Jonas joining the show as well are true, well, this will certainly be interesting. It looks like there’s something for everyone. Is American Idol putting up a good enough fight to compete with The X Factor?
What do you think of this choice?
