The reality television singing competition American Idol successfully completed its 11th season in 2011, while Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler performed their duties as the official judges.
However, it is rumoured that the upcoming edition of the American Idol will have new judges and the quite a few musicians are being considered to be featured on the panel for the 12th season of the show. In this connection, former “Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert,
Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Fergie and will.i.am are being considered.
Jennifer Lopez, who did a wonderful job in the hot seat of a judge for one season, is rumoured to be on her way out. Furthermore, the veteran Steven Tyler is also said to leave the “idol” competition after two seasons. Third judge Randy Jackson, who has
been attached with the show for a long time, is also on the potential chopping block as the show looks to shake things up to involve the fresher celeb faces in the 12th season.
According to an "Idol" insider, there is some activity going on. He stated: “no one has signed any contracts yet and producers are currently putting out feelers and setting up meetings to see who they can get … we won’t know if Randy [Jackson] and Steven
[Tyler] are returning until they see who else is on board."
Earlier this year when Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, the late Whitney Houston, Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears? were said to be circling a gig on former "Idol" lead judge Simon Cowell’s "X Factor." Britney, of course, ended up signing on the dotted line, along
with Demi Lovato, but "Factor" still has one vacancy to fill.
An unnamed source Cowell is in no hurry to fill those vacancies. "They’re doing the auditions without a host so it’s no big deal they don’t have hosts right now. Simon really wants to take his time. The two-person thing didn’t work out the first time and
he wants to make sure it works this time."
