Kanye West
-
Kanye West
West is the latest front-runner for an open judge spot, and he's already in the process of negotiating with producers, TMZ reports. Let the controversy begin!
-
Nicki Minaj
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!
-
Sean "Diddy" Combs
"Idol" approached Sean "Diddy" Combs for the job, according to E! News, but he didn't think Fox would offer him enough money.
-
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?
-
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."
-
Miley Cyrus
Nick's ex-girlfriend Miley has also been rumored to be in the running … which could be (delightfully) awkward.
-
Keith Urban
Country star Urban is reportedly a front-runner, but would he be too boring?
-
Brad Paisley
Former "Idol" runner-up Paisley, another reported front-runner, has a "great personality," but Kanye might attract more eyeballs …
-
Enrique Iglesias
Enrique, another front-runner, is an international star with major sex appeal. But could he top Nicki's crazy costumes?

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?
Seriously, though, Nicki is already going to hurt the show and Kanye would make it even worse- a lot of audience members would probably feel alienated by the reshaped panel.
Ms. Kardashian, as far as I know, doesn't have much experience with either music, or the music industry. To be a judge on a musical TV show like American Idol, you have to have a ton of experience with music, and its industry.
