Kanye West In Talks To Judge On “American Idol”

    After news broke that Nicki Minaj was on track to become a judge on the next season of American Idol, TMZ is reporting that Kanye West is in negotiations to grab a seat on the judging panel.

    Sources close to production claim that Idol producers reached out to ‘Ye to appear as a judge on the singing competition, and he expressed interest in joining the fold. The source continues that he is unsure about accepting the offer and is “on the fence,” because he doesn’t know if its suits his best interest.

    Nicki Minaj is now “close to signing a deal or has signed one to become a judge,” but producers are going to add a fourth judge. Other artists being considered for the slot include Keith Urban, Enrique Iglesias and Brad Paisley. Mariah Carey has already inked a deal to appear, netting a reported $18 million for the gig.

    1. Kanye has the talent but can he express himself and articulate artistic critique?

      Or is the fact that he can’t the fun part lol

    2. I rather have him judge on Idol. Even though I never seen the show, he is a better fit than Nicki would be. Follow me on twitter @worldwartuck and i will follow back.

    3. If reaching out to Nicki didn’t scream desperation, then this does. Although Kanye has more talent in one finger than Nicki’s entire body, making him more qualified for this shit. Also, it’d be entertaining to see him critique the contestants.

      1. True that. I’d actually like to see if he just straight up says ‘that was wack…next’, or if someone tries say ish to him for not giving them a pass will they call him a jerk causing him to snap or can he keep his temper intact..

    4. Just to see how he’d react, I’d try out and sing Single Ladies for Kanye. haha. I’m a big fan of Ye, but I don’t think he should do American Idol, he’d make it watchable again, but I’d advise him not to.

    5. Just CanCel dat stupid-azz show, shit fuccin anoyin, stupid lamez watchin stupid lamez,no G watchez dat shit. And KanGAY need 2 retire, dunn fucced up da rap game, lil Willa and him iz responsible foe dat. U want real GANGSTA RAP, fuccz wit da west, we got dat unCut…Dub C, Daz Dillinger, and tha rest..WEST SIIIIIIIDE!

    6. Sounds like this would be a good deal for Kanye and a good deal for the show. I think that Kanye would make an excellent judge seeing as how hes relevant and currently popular. Ill definitely want to watch this show even more, with him on board. American Idol gives my Dish coworkers and I a lot to talk about so Ill definitely be watching this season. I love that my Hopper will record it automatically with the Prime Time Anytime feature. Not only will this feature record American Idol but it will also record all prime time programming on major networks. Its so convenient and effortless.
