'Keys Under Palm Trees' hitmaker Nicki Minaj will judge alongside famously easygoing singer of song Mariah Carey in the upcoming 12th (TWELFTH) season (series) of American Idol.
Keith Urban is the other new judge, so he'll be joining Mariah, Nicki and long-standing 'panelist' Randy Jackson.
"With the exciting addition of Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj, alongside Randy Jackson, American Idol's star power has never been so great," Simon Fuller told a press release (quoted here), which is a fair point so we'll leave it at that thank you very much.
