    Earlier this week, Us Weekly reported that Minaj will join the show next season. We'd tune in just to see what she's wearing!

    "Idol" approached Sean "Diddy" Combs for the job, according to E! News, but he didn't think Fox would offer him enough money.

  4. Kim Kardashian

    She's not on anyone's short list, but now that Kanye is involved, could the queen of reality TV be far behind?

  5. Nick Jonas

    Earlier this month, Jonas tweeted: "I am being considered to be a judge on American Idol, and it would be a dream come true if it happens."

  6. Miley Cyrus

    Nick's ex-girlfriend Miley has also been rumored to be in the running … which could be (delightfully) awkward.

  7. Keith Urban

    Country star Urban is reportedly a front-runner, but would he be too boring?

  8. Brad Paisley

    Brad Paisley

    Former "Idol" runner-up Paisley, another reported front-runner, has a "great personality," but Kanye might attract more eyeballs …

  9. Enrique Iglesias

    Enrique Iglesias

    Enrique, another front-runner, is an international star with major sex appeal. But could he top Nicki's crazy costumes?

This is getting good ... Kanye West is the latest front-runner to be a judge on "American Idol," and he's already in the process of negotiating with producers, TMZ reports. Let the controversy begin!

The news comes on the heels of an Us Weekly report that Nicki Minaj will join the show next season. "I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," an insider tells the mag. The outspoken 29-year-old rapper is one of those love-her-or-hate-her celebs, but we'd tune in just to see what she's wearing!

However, the one already confirmed judge -- Mariah Carey -- seems none too happy about the latest picks. Carey hung up the phone when she was told that Minaj was the top candidate, TMZ reports -- and she followed up by tweeting a photo of herself with Lenny Kravitz along with the caption: "@AmericanIdol What's going on? need the info!! What about this combo? :) if we could ever get him to do it."

Country stars Brad Paisley and Keith Urban and international heartthrob Enrique Iglesias are also reportedly among the front-runners. From Kanye to Nicki to Sean "Diddy" Combs, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who would be the worst "Idol" judge?

    either P. Diddy or Kim Kardashian. P. Diddy won't give a crap about the contestants, he's just doing it for money. he's too greedy. Kim K. doesn't even sing or work in the music industry, so she won't have any knowledge. I think the only one worthy out of this list is Nick Jonas

    At least all the others (except for Nicki Minaj) have at least a little good taste in music.

    IIt's time for Idol to give it up. The judges no longer want to be there...too many changes...it's getting old...just like all the other "reality" series and competitions.

    If they are going to continue it, the only ones who deserve to be there are Enrique, Keith, NIck and Brad...they are the only ones with true talent.

    this guy has very little talent and no manners. if you think he can work with others or is capable of judging talent, think again.

    Nobody wants to see Kanye West or hear anything he has to say any more than they have to. If they put him on I will be tuning out.

    whoever he is, but really the very worst possibility would be Todd Voestral. Todd is about ten feet tall, and he can't even judge when to walk away from the dinner table because he looks like a beached whale. Google him.

    She has no musical talent at all, so what is she gonna coach them on, how to make a great sex tape and then become famous and be a celeb whore for free?

    Diddy is the choice here. Since he has no musical talent whatsoever. See, music isn't a competition.

    I would have picked Kanye, until I saw Kim Kardashian's name! At least the others on the list are musicians. Personally, I fail to get what the big deal is about the Kardashians. There was a time when you actually had to be good at something in order to be famous! "Sorry, Kanye! I'm gonna let you finish, but Kim would be the worst American Idol Judge candidate of all time!"

    He has already shown his music prejudous position I Would quit watching show at that point to bad you can't pick more than one, Kim Karbtrashian is and.would be the worst at anything. Again why are they on TV?

    Doesn't matter what he would ay or do, there'd be a lot of people tuning out just because they don't want to see what he'll say/do next. There are other stars in the list I think wouldn't be all that great however, I am well past the point of even giving this man a chance.

    Kanye would be awesome because he's nuts and you could watch the train wreck that is his life live on TV.
  • PICK abby dow 2012/08/23 17:32:24
    PICK
    Kanye would be the natural choice. He could get the show pulled mid season if he's in rare form. I chose Diddy since he is an impostor in the music industry.

    Well..I meant to vote for Keith Urban..but somehow ended up voting for somebody I don't even know..but in this discussion..I fall into the WC category..Who Cares..they almost lost me with Ruben Stoddard..and did lose me with Taylor Hicks..but maybe if they hired Urban or Paisley..I might tune in again.

    All of them are not very entertaining or they they continue the praising of bad seeds! But of this lot, I would have to say Kanye for sure... can you imagine the final vote happening and then Kanye jumping up and saying " you know you're really good , but the award should have gone to..."

    Lol, he doesn't have enough real experience with music. Idols doesn't play kid music :) Kanye's a boss, and he says what's on his mind. Musicians used to be praised for being unconventional...now even the fans want them to shut up.
