'American Idol' Appears Set With Iglesias
Potential four-judge lineup reportedly close to being locked in
By Kenny Herzog Sep 7, 2012 8:02AM
Do you see Enrique Iglesias in the above image? Can you feel his longing to cross over from the hell of being trapped inside his music-video persona into a seat on the "American Idol" judges panel? It is Enrique all but crying, "Please, Nigel Lythgoe, please alleviate the burden of touring and recording for 2013 by ensuring a lucrative net worth without having to leave my chair." Well, Enrique, it seems your desperate pining may go requited. Entertainment Weekly and Deadline are both reporting that the second-generation sex symbol is likely to square off a four-member "AI" judges panel for Season 12 that will also include Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj.
Neither the show nor Iglesias have confirmed this latest update, but if Enrique were to offer his fans any word of advice, it would most likely be to "let the rhythm take you over... bailamos."
"American Idol" returns in January 2013 on FOX.

To bad I won't be watching. I refuse to watch Nicki Minaj. So Enrique will not be enough to bring me to the tv. I say just get over it and bury the show six feet under. It was barely watchable with Lopez and Stephen egos taking up so much air time. Now you ask me to watch a common whore who has no talent nor longevity. Enjoy the ratings. They are going to plummet.

American Idol needs to quit covering up their MAJOR screw up of hiring Nicki Minaj by hiring 3 BIG time MAJOR talents i feel SO sorry for the other judges, Nicki knows NOTHING about talent or judging she is WHACKED out girl who is allowed to sing every cuss word in the book and get paid millions for doing it, and that my friends is SAD! she is NOT a role model or talent of any kind, get rid of her. And poor Mariah, Keith and Enrique having to next to and listen to likes of her talking about something she knows NOTHING about, talent. after saying all of this i will NOT be watching the show next season and if you keep Nicki the plumiting in the ratings will speak for themselves because you ARE going to lose A LOT of viewers, so good luck.
