"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 really enjoyed last year's Idol, there were so many talented contestants it was a pleasure to watch. Only been 3 yrs that I enjoyed watching it, not impressed by the judges for this year and do not think they need 4, liked 3 cause have a tie breaker!!

    Like I've said in countless other "Idol" polls: I'm all Idol'd out. I prefer "The Voice," anyway.

    I don't even watch this forsaken show anymore. Simon & Paula left and no two or three judges can compare to them.

    Why won't the CANCEL this already?
    Judging by this list.....it's most likely going to be a big fail.
