instagram.comWe thought this day would never come! After years months of speculation, rumors and guesswork, Fox has finally and officially announced the new American Idol judges for season 12.
America...this is your judging panel!
Country superstar Keith Urban and rapper Nicki Minaj have joined Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson behind the table on Fox's reality series staple. The foursome will make their first appearance today in New York, where season 12 auditions will officially kick off.
Finally, Minaj was always speculated to be a sure thing while the rumor mill churned, however she told us recently at the MTV Video Music Awards that she still hadn't made up her mind about joining the Fox reality series. Looks like her mind is made up now!
While the "Starships" rapper has yet to officially comment on the news, Minaj retweeted Ryan Seacrest's photo of the new judges posing with Jackson and a group of other people Sunday morning.
