The end of American Idol

[Ns1]

I watched it because it was tolerable enough for XX seasons...but no longer.

Nicki Minaj will join Mariah Carey as new 'American Idol' judge: report

The colorful female emcee, 29, is reportedly already set to be the latest addition to Fox's hit singing competition show, a source tells Us Weekly.

"I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," the source told Us. "A few more things to sign off on but it is happening."

Another source told the magazine that Minaj is "100% confirmed to judge 'American Idol.'"

As of now, reps for both the network and the singer have not commented on the speculation.

If the rumors are true, then Minaj will be adding to a high-caliber panel that already includes singing legend Mariah Carey and has names like Pharrell Williams and Nick Jonas up for consideration.

Both Minaj and Carey, 42, are native New Yorkers. Minaj hails from Jamaica, Queens, and Carey was born and raised on Long Island.

Previous judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced that they were leaving the show earlier this summer, sending viewers into a frenzy wondering what musicians would be brought in to fill the void.

Carey announced her involvement in July, and since then, other names have been floated by the franchise, including Sean "Diddy" Combs, Adam Lambert, Miley Cyrus, Brad Paisley and Pink.

"What you've got to realize is you've got to create a panel that gels," show producer Nigel Lythgoe told E! News. "A panel that makes sense together. It's not just about three individuals."

The only remaining original member of the judges' table, Randy Jackson, will be reportedly moving into a more "mentoring role" on the show.

Minaj was recently forced to cancel her shows at the V Festival in England due to strained vocal cords.

Angry fans took to Twitter to complain about the cancellations, and the feisty rapper shot back her own retorts.

"I am so thankful to my true fans who understand WHY I couldn't play #VFestival & WHY I can't play Dublin. Absolutely gutted," she wrote Monday morning.

"However, if u have anythinbg negative to say to me, please #EatS**tAndDie - I am human."

I actually liked Steven Tyler as a judge. This new lineup makes me want to stab myself.

Something has to start, in order for there to be "the end".

 

[MontyAC]

I haven't watched AI for years now.

 

[TheNinja]

I stopped watching after Simon left. And not necessarily just b/c of Simon leaving. I just got tired of the show's format and had seen enough. I certainly won't be watching as I cannot stand any of the potential judges listed.

 

[poopaskoopa]

That show is in dire need of a witty a-hole.

 

[darkewaffle]

Never watched, but if they get Miley or Pink for the third judge then I'd totally have a foursome with that panel.

Maybe by adding her it will be the end, I hope.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Yeah, my wife is going to be watching by herself now. J-Lo was bad enough but this is repugnant.

randy jackson needs to be replaced with gordon ramsey

or John McEnroe

 

[BassBomb]

The show has run its course... the content has dried up

Not that there aren't nice vocalists out there to be found or that they have not seen... Its its not a big thing anymore

 

[JulesMaximus]

I've never watched it.

I don't give a shit about any of the contestants or the judges.

Same here but the sheep will return next season to keep this crappy show alive.

I heard on Howard Stern that they were considering Jerry Lewis & Charlie Sheen o_o

 

[Mixolydian]

The show was trash from the very beginning.

LOL! That would be quite a pair.

So glad that Stern is back this week. I couldn't take another week of "I was a Howard Stern virgin."

I love Howard Stern but even having him as judge on AGT couldn't get me to watch those ridiculous talent shows.

Coupled with the fact that Stern is a horrible evaluator of talent... AGT has gone to shit this year.

Yeah I thought he was taking the rest of the month off of the show. AGT aint that bad of a show but many Stern fans complain because he brings it up AGT on the show alot.

That doesn't bother me. His show has always been him talking about what is going on in his life or around him and he's on AGT so of course he's going to talk about it.

Funny because everything I've heard or read says just the opposite.

 

[zinfamous]

wow, horrible. absolutely horrible.

I thought the departure of Simon would kill it, by Tyler was surprisingly decent. J-Lo was horrible, though.


blech. forget this show. It was getting too long in the tooth, anyway.

 

[zinfamous]

I think Bane should be the next judge.

randy jackson needs to be replaced with gordon ramsey

LOL!!!
