"American Idol" returns for its 12th season on FOX in January 2013 and after much speculation and negotiation, the judging panel has been finalized. The judges include three new major names and one popular "Idol" veteran fans already know.

Young Money Entertainment's queen and best-selling recording artist Nicki Minaj brings her unique style and perspective to "Idol." One can say she caters not only to current "Idol" fans with her star power as an active, relevant recording artist, but to the younger viewers her hit music appeals to. The rapping sensation could also potentially bring in hip-hop fans that may not have given "Idol" a chance had she not been selected as a judge. Speaking of bringing in new fans, country music star Keith Urban looks to do the same this upcoming season with his popularity.

Perhaps the biggest star of all is the iconic Mariah Carey, whose longevity in the music business is unmatched amongst her fellow judges. And then there is the likable and familiar Randy Jackson, who almost didn't end up returning for another season. Jackson remains as the only judge left from the inaugural 'Idol' season.

So SodaHeads, are you excited for the 12th season of "American Idol"?

    I haven't even watched it since Simon left.

    This show should be dead-- not off the air yet, I'm caught between calling it "undead" and "comatose"-- please, please, put it out of its misery.

    For the first time since the show began I'm actually considering not watching it. I just found out today that Nicky Minaj is on it... Wow, what happened AI? How low can you sink? Where did Stephen Tyler go? now he was good... Nicky? really? you're kidding right? She has absolutely no talent, how will she judge talent? nor do I want to watch her phony-ness... wow I'm floored

    SHAME SHAME Proud once again you wish someone to kill themselves. Run to your nearest church and get some help. Sure I don't like or watch idol and I don't care who is the judges but I would never wish someone kill themselves! You are a time bomb! I hope you get pshyciatric help for your request that everyone kills themselves if you don't agree with them!

    This has fail written all over it. I miss the days where Paula and Simon would got at against each other and they would spice up the whole idol with their judgement. Especially Simon of course.
    This new cast of judges...nope...not feeling it. Their just not going to work out as greatly as I thought it would. After they just up and left, idol has been dead to me.

    No. I will no longer be watching the show. Many fans spoke up about wanting Adam Lambert as a judge. It would have made sense because he got his start there. They blew us off. I'll just follow Adam Lambert . Glad Adam came from the show, but there has not been anyone else of his amazing talent.
    I find The Voice to be a really good show.
