Bravo, "American Idol" -- your newest judge might be just the thing you need to revitalize your sagging show. Sources tell Us Weekly that Nicki Minaj will join Mariah Carey as a judge on the singing 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. "A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening." A second source says the rapper is "100% confirmed to judge American Idol."

The 29-year-old rapper's latest album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," debuted at No. 1 in April. She is also known for her crazy costumes, controversial performances and popularity among young people, not to mention her big mouth -- all of which could help draw much-needed eyeballs to "Idol." In fact, Minaj joked last season that she'd love to replace Jennifer Lopez as a judge -- guess she was serious! Do you think she's a good pick?

I dont see her being a good judge. I do not look at the show anyhow, but feel like they would do better picking someone else.

Shouldn't the judge have talent? She's not that good. Much like Britney Spears judging the X Factor.

I'm just as surprised as everyone else that it's still on the air. It's more than likely kids that watch it these days.

Lucky. Her music is atrocious, imo. :I

betz to Saga 2012/08/21 09:07:15

As I read through some of the posts I'm realizing her music is rap. Actually that really isn't music IMO. But then again I'm old. LOL

Haha, I consider it music. Well, the old stuff. But hers certainly doesn't sound much like it. ^-^ I can understand where you're coming from, though, considering I had the same opinion once.

Yeah you did. I know what you mean; Em's subject matter... well, you know what I mean. ^^ Anyway, there are rappers out there that talk about more meaningful issues without all that kind of stuff. (:

Personally, I like her music because it's fun to move to, BUT there's nothing deep about it, and it doesn't involve that much talent. Therefore, I don't think she's qualified to judge others' talent.
