It’s official as of yesterday that American Idol has locked down their judges’ table. The new judges table will consist of: Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson, and Mariah Carey. Rumors are that Nicki is making anywhere from $10-12 million, and Keith Urban is going to make anywhere between $3-5 million. I’m curious as to how much Randy is going to make. He’s a dinosaur on that poor show.

Mike Darnell, the president of alternative entertainment at Fox said, “With an unparalleled star like Mariah, fan-favorite Randy, chart-toppers like Nicki and Keith and our incomparable host Ryan, we’ve put together one of the most exciting judging panels around.”

So there it is…none of this is news because it’s been circulating for a while now, but at least it’s official.

I’m going to watch out of pure curiosity, but not holding my breathe.

    Compare how many hits Keith Urban has had and how long his career has been so far to Nicki Minaj…and the fact that Urban doesn’t need autotune like Minaj and Mariah Carey…and tell me: who needs a new agent.

    Haven’t they already held auditions? So, will they have the old judges on the audition episodes andthe new panel beginning in the Hollywood round?

    catty . . . Mariah can actually sing . . . you can diss her on so many things, including her hoochie wardrobe, but the gal can sang!!! Very few singers have a 5 octave range either . . . I’m just sayin’

    And, that said, this sounds awful to me . . . I think I would have preferred Shania Twain to any of the three . . .

    Considering I’ve been zipping judges comments for a couple seasons, none of this should be mattering to me . . .

    You know, this is good news, really. My television viewing schedule has gotten out of control, and I really need to trim the fat. So thanks, Fox! This one’ll be easy to ditch.

    Mariah Carey’s bad enough, but hiring a robot AND a weird puppet? Nope. Just can’t do it. Maybe if you bring back Simon. Maybe.
