We're Freaking Out Over Nicki Minaj Judging On 'American Idol!'

We're really hoping it's true that Nicki Minaj is the new "American Idol" judge!​

After the announcement that both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler stepped down as "American Idol" judges, our finger nails have been nibbled down to nubs awaiting the announcement of who's taking over. We basically went HAM when we learned Mariah Carey signed on (!!!) but in between the like, gazillion rumored possibilities (Nick Jonas, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry to name a few), it FINALLY sounds we may actually have Nicki Minaj on board!
While it's not like official-official (there's been some pretty definite confirmations, so if it's not true, we'll pretty much be SADZ TO THE MAX) about the "Pound The Alarm" singer's addition, we're flipping our ish over the almost-for-sure possibility! Between Britney Spears and Demi Lovato pairing up on "X Factor" and a Carey/Minaj duo at "AI" this could be THE MOST EPIC season of women-dominating television ever created.
But the biggest question: what alter-ego would Nicki bring to the table? Her Harajuku Barbie persona would be awesome to watch for the fashion, but we're really gunning for her Roman Zolanksi side. Watching terrified contestants get tough love from Nicki's devil-inspired personality would make for great TV (and it would make Simon Cowell's criticisms look like thoughtful Hallmark cards).

And the shark has been jumped.

Hopefully this spells the end to all karaoke shows and maybe music can be salvaged.

Fingers crossed.

And is this a spambot or just a newsbot?

Foo! It's the Music Boss! Bringing you all the important news in music!

Honestly, I don't understand the appeal to Nicki Minaj. She's not even that good. She relies more on autotune than T-Pain, and has the lyrical talent of Lil Wayne.

Lyrical talent don't mean shit anymore, all you have to do is cliches and half rhymes that don't make sense. Then all you have to do is add a laugh or an uhhh and you have yourself a following.

I've decided that I'm going to become a rapper. My God! It's so easy!

There are more rappers than fans.

I don't even listen to much rap anyway...

 

[AZUCAR!]

Apparently Kanye West is negotiating to become a judge too.

Sounds like I might have a reason to watch A.I now.

And this is why the majority of my music is heavy metal.

Actual talent involved producing songs, would be interested in seeing Kenya West absolutely demolishing 99% of the "talent" which appear on talent shows.

Kenya West.

1. Turn on Autotune
2. Get big club beat, preferably ripped off another song popular just before yours.
3. ....
4. PROFIT!

(Hey, it worked for Ke$ha!)
