      Does not Matter who the judges are. Its about the talent FOR ME ANYWAY.

        That was the problem that I had with the show. Was about the judges and which one of "them" was going to win. Nicole threw away one of the best singers - Elaine Gibbs over that James Brown wannabe. I was SO mad.

        Last season was a horrible waste of time. Was very little from the talent that I found enjoyable. Part of the problem probably was the narrow choice the contestants had to select from.

      Get Janet and Mariah!!! That would pretty much place the last few nails in American Idol...

      If a singing star is going to be a judge, they should really know how to interpret music, read music. How can they possibly judge a contestants tone, whether sharp or flat if they are not musically educated?

      I sure hope Janet becomes a judge. LOVE HER! And why Rihanna? Why would you EVER associate with a thug like that? Why do some women keep going back? Stupid move on her part. Next time it happens - I don't want to hear it.

      Good call Janet. I would like that and maybe your presence would save the show for me.

      So basically, this article is a bunch of rumors, none of which have been proven true. What on earth happened to actual journalism? And journalistic dignity?

      had the pleasure to work with JJ several times when I worked in the entertainment industry... she is as sweet behind the scenes as she portrays in front of the camera... nice to see good things happen to good people..

      This is a terrible idea----Janet is a star, but is far more introverted and weird than Michael was-----she has said every time some one was able to get an interview with her that she is uber-shy----mentoring and teaching is not for the uber-shy-----just sayin'
