Here are your confirmed judges for Season 13 of American Idol! Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick, Jr. I’m excited. I was starting to fade away from American Idol a little bit last year. I was frustrated and bored. I missed the stories about the kids who were auditioning. I thought the wacky judges were the center of the show and a big distraction. I like that Idol has returned to its original panel of three judges. (Although the trifecta will always be Simon, Randy, and Paula.) I like that these three stars are serious music industry veterans. Our “dawg,” Randy Jackson, will still be around as a mentor. (Woof!) And I will always love you, Ryan Seacrest. Let’s try this again, American Idol. My DVR is set for January 2014.
What do you think of this year’s American Idol judges? Will you be watching?
