Wait, who is a Fairground stripper now, Elton?
Mmhm.
I actually liked the idea of having one of the winners or runners-up coming back to judge the show. But I think that the problem with the show has nothing to do with the judges and everything to do with the producers. The judges need to have independence in order to actually, you know, critique contestants for what they did wrong. I'd like to never see any more bullshit critiques where judges simply make up nonexistent problems or "emotionally perfect" compliments for performances that were an off-key mess.
But the whole show exists in this ridiculous "NO! CRITICISM BAD! EVERYONE IS A WINNER!" bubble and has for so many years now that I just don't see it happening.
But honestly I wouldn't really care about any of that if they just had someone at least on Kelly's level when it came to basic vocal ability and tone.

As long as Nigel and Simon (Fuller) are producing the show, judges don't mean a thing.

Kara DioGuardi? I think that was around the time I lost interest in the show too.

Hell, at this point, next years judges should include Dave Mustaine.
Actually, Dave or James Hetfield would be better than Nicki.

At this rate they'll have Rebecca Black on there next year.

Kelly wouldn't do it. She seemed to enjoy doing that awful Duets show, but she said it took too much time away from her own career. She wasn't able to do a full world tour because of it. She's already made it clear, in so many words, that she won't do Duets again; the judges all only signed on for that one season.
I understand Mariah and Keith Urban being on the panel. They're comparable (genre-wise) to The Voice's Christina and Blake Shelton. Nicki Minaj? I guess I could see her being AI's "match" for Cee Lo. But why on earth did they break down and let Randy back in? They should have just kept it at three judges once Enrique or whoever decided not to do the show.
Ellen was a joke. I love her, but there was no reason for her to be an AI judge. America's Got Talent or something like that? Sure. But a singing competition? Absolutely not. At least Kara works in the business.
You don't have to be able to sing to judge it.

Pretty sure Steven Tyler was into much dirtier shit than anyone on the current panel...
Kelly Clarkson was on that ABC show this summer.
Britney Spears was on Star Search as a kid. Star Search is kind of similar to these shows... kind of.
Nicki Minaj is awful..but I don't mind this panel. Actually, I think it's a fucking awesome panel (second to The Voice....and it would actually take Herculean effort to get a panel worse than X-Factor).
Nicki Minaj will clearly be the Paula Abdul of this panel. She has some industry chops (I mean, you don't go from making bootleg mixtapes to fronting tours in 3 years without knowing SOMETHING about how to entertain people), but mostly she'll just be good for the incredibly stupid soundbites. She's insane, and you never know what's going to come out of her mouth or how she'll react to something, and that makes good TV. She's also irl friends with Mariah, so they'll have chemistry from day one.
Mariah Carey will be The Authority on the panel. No one who has ever judged this show is more qualified to critique these lessers than her. If she has the balls to step up to the plate, she could be the ultimate Diva Authority this show desperately needs.
Don't know much about Keith Urban's music, but from the interviews I've seen he seems like a very likable, big-brother type foil to Mariah and Nicki's loud divaness. Kinda like what Randy used to be between Paula and Simon.
Randy Jackson...not a damn good thing I can say about him being on this panel. Completely useless and should just go the hell away.
All in all, not quite as good a panel as the The Voice, but easily has the potential to be much better than the completely soulless, chemistry-devoid panel over at Flop Factor. W

Mariah will be able to salvage this mess of a show, hopefully. And there's no way Minaj/Urban will be worse than Lopez/Tyler.

It's gonna be great when the cast reunites on Dr Drew's Celebrity Rehab next decade.
Because she was drunk most of the time and slept with contestants. I doubt Minaj will be that entertaining.
