I agree, they could have picked much better people for this show. I mean, I guess Keith Urban is alright, my mom is a big fan of his, but I don't listen to his music that much. Mariah Carey is talented and will make a good addition, but I think she is a spoiled brat and her little feud with Nicki has got to stop. As for Nicki, I am a huge fan of hers, but of all people... Why her? I mean, yes, she is talented, but... She does not showcase her talent in most of her music and I don't recall any rappers on Idol, which she is better at than singing. It will be very interesting to see Idol this year with all these changes. As for J-Lo and Steven Tyler, I really like J-Lo and enjoyed checking her out on the show (lol), but I didn't like Steven Tyler that much and still don't. I think there were better choices for judges this year, though.
