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 don't think a rapper is qualified to judge musical talent. rapping is not making music. Granted it is a talent, but not musical

    Really? To each their own. The hair should go IMO as she probably could be an attractive woman. I heard Randy Jackson is quitting also. Have you heard that? He's the one I loved. He seems like a great guy.

    When I hear her sing on the tv live you can tell her cds are so auto tuned. I think the contestants need someone who can sing well live too.

    No! This woman has not had enough experience to judge anyone when she is not even really established herself. She could easily be ousted from her career at this point in her life. She is not the one for the job and if they give it to her, she will make AI a laughing stock.

    These shows aren't about talent any more. They are about fashion and popularity. oh and getting a 'celebrity' that is bound to pull in viewers. hate it.

    I don't watch American Idol, but Minaj is the typical run-of-the-mill tool: She's well-used and not too sharp around the edges, where it counts.

    i will respectfully say no , Aretha Franklyn would make a better judge any day of the week and definitely put the much needed class that show needs :D.
