American Idol Announces New Judges

Written by Stephanie Coffey

Hold on a second. Is this American Idol news that we actually like? For months, there has been speculation over who the new judges would be. First there was talk that it would be an all-alum panel featuring the likes of Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson. Then there was buzz that stars like will.i.am. and Miley Cyrus would be joining the Fox series. Now we have confirmation that the three judges will be Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and....HARRY CONNICK JR. We're thrilled with this piece of news. Connick Jr. can sing, has wide appeal, AND will actually tell the contestants when they suck. It feels like forever since a judge gave the wannabes constructive criticism. As far as Urban and Lopez go? Eh. Better people could have definitely been chosen but we don't hate these two. Are you happy with the new judges? Sound off.
