(CelebNMusic247-News) Possible New America Idol Judges Revealed
After Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson got the boot the America Idol organization has confirmed their new America Idol judges!
After being the last man standing on American Idol, my dawg Randy Jackson, decided to cut his losses after the most recent season, and his counterparts have been quitting left and right.
As for last season American Idol judges, Keith Urban appears to be the only one who has any interest remaining on the sinking ship.
Now a source appears to have leaked to People that Jennifer Lopez is “very close to signing a deal with AI again and return to the hot seat judging panel.
The source reveals:
“Both Fox and Jennifer are very happy about this and want it to happen very much.”
The insider rebuts rumors that the divalicious triple threat was recently shunned by The Voice as a potential judge, telling the site, “Jennifer never had discussions with NBC about being a judge. She was approached to perform on the NBC hit series, but turned it down “because of scheduling conflicts.”
JLo is considering her return as she is no longer touring and she has an open schedule.
The source adds:
“She couldn’t return last year because she had committed to a world tour. But now that the tour is over, she has more time to raise her family, do movies and pursue television projects.”
Here is the drop on the other judges according to Deadline [via RealityTea]:
Fox’s entertainment chairman has confirmed that the network has been in talks with Jennifer, as well as others, to fill the spots on the dwindling panel. He also shares that Keith will be returning, stating, “He did a great job on the show, fans loved him and you can see how much he loved the doing show.”
The Fox spokesperson revealed that Idol alum and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Black Eyed Peas member Will. I. Am. have been considered. While no deals are in place, he says, “All have been talked about and discussed,” stressing that AI’s goal is to compile a group who is “good at the job, people like and we refocus on the contestants.”
In case you were wondering, many media outlets have been reporting in the last few hours that Will. I. Am. is leaving his front man gig on the UK version of The Voice to join JLo as a judge on AI.
The chairman shares that Randy Jackson may not be a season judge, he “will be back in some capacity. He is a friend of show, and certainly guests spots (are real possibility).”
In conclusion, the network honcho reveals:
“A lot of people wanted to do it but there were availability issues.”
”I think you can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.It is a top five show still… It needs some recalibration on some things and fresh new elements. I just want to find chemistry that is comfortable and right for the show and not have [drama among the panel] be an issue.”
Does this sound like a good trio of America Idol Judges to you?
