“American Idol” has once again revamped their judging panel.  The Dog, Randy Jackson, survived the cut and will be destroying people’s hopes and dreams for another season.  However, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler won’t be returning to the judges table this season.  This came as a surprise to many, because the lively duo brought a second wind into “American Idol’s” sails.  Many find this move shocking and are seriously questioning why “American Idol” decided to hire Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, and Nicki Minaj instead.  These picks are certainly interesting, and will definitely affect the show.

The premier last night told all and the chemistry of the judging panel was revealed.  The entire nation found out that Nicki Minaj is really really annoying, as if they didn’t already know from her “music.”  She was constantly picking fights with Mariah and just generally being a drama queen.  However, The Dog was his usual self, Mariah was sweet and kind, and Keith was extremely nice to everyone.  Over all, the judging panel impressed me, excluding Minaj.  I personally liked the old set of judges with Lopez and Tyler better.  They had better chemistry and all were level-headed.  This season, however, shows some promise as long as one of the judges doesn’t annoy America too much.
