RT @jofum: @mjsbigblog I'm at the Idol tour in Sacramento. Our seats were upgraded from the balcony b/c no one's here. =(
Ouch. Not good.

Hate to say it, but I'm not holding my breath for anybody on the panel to be great. We've seen it many times before that experience and talent in the industry has nothing to do with delivering the goods as an Idol judge.
I feel like Keith could be a good asset to the panel, but he (like many others before him), seemed to just agree with the other judges most of the time because he didn't want to be seen as the mean one.
JLo really didn't bring much to the table either; I'm honestly baffled as to why they would fight so hard to bring her back. Both her and Steven offered little insight, and seemed to be afraid to offer criticism.
If there's hope of somebody bringing life to the panel, I think it will be Jen Hudson. She's been in the exact position before, so she probably knows how helpful constructive criticism can be. I would also think she would be empathetic, but she probably would not mince words or come across as too soft, because she's got an extroverted personality, and she knows what's at stake better than the contestants themselves.
Honestly, I think having Nicki on the panel really hurt Idol, and having somebody turn around and be great would be good for the show.
Lol the mumble mumble mumble guy? Goodbye, Idol.
I'm rooting so hard for Idol. But if will.i.am is a judge, it'll be hard for me to keep supporting, tbh. I liked JLo as a judge. I'd say 30% of her critiques were actually very on point, which, sadly, is more than most of the recent judges. Keith had great insights until he started piggybacking off of Nicki. Maybe with her gone, he'll be more insightful... or maybe he'll find a replacement Nicki.
My desire for Kanye to be a judge waned significantly after seeing Nicki in action, so now I'm not sure how I'd construct the panel. I really hope they put someone on who isn't a celebrity.
Confirmed: Keith Urban Returning to American Idol, Jennifer Lopez "In Talks" | American Idol | mjsbigblog Keith is confirmed, if J-Lo comes back it looks like it will be those two with Will.I.Am also being out there as the 3rd judge.
