'American Idol' judges panel confirmed
The 'American Idol' judges’ panel is now complete with the naming of singer-rapper Nicki Minaj and country crooner Keith Urban.
Minaj is getting $12m (€9.13m) for a one-year stint on the hit Fox TV singing competition, a music industry source with knowledge of the deal said.
A representative for Urban would not disclose the singer's pay.
Randy Jackson will stay put as the sole remaining original 'Idol' judge and the trio will join pop star Mariah Carey – reportedly receiving nearly $18m (€13.7m) for a one-year contract with a renewal option – on a judges’ panel now expanded to four members from its previous three.
