POP diva Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler are the new American Idol judges.
They will sit with veteran Randy Jackson, 54, when the hit US reality show, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, starts its 10th season in January.

They replace Simon Cowell, Ellen Degeneres and Kara Dioguardi and give the three-strong panel a combined age of 157.

Tyler, 62, is rumoured to have signed an $18million deal while 41-year-old Lopez is reportedly only picking up $12million.

hhhhhmmmmmm, I didn't think they were keeping it going! So are they having X-Factor too?

I love Steven Tyler, could be interesting, will definitely take a look anyway

[Niamh.]

I'm glad Kara is gone though, she really irritated me

[LaLaLand]

Yes Simon's doing The X Factor USA with (rumoured) Cheryl Cole.

I love the new judges!

It will be on the same channel so will just be like ITV having X Factor & BGT

I bet ITV2 drop it after the next one though

I bet Simon will be mad to out do it though!

X Factor's gonna be on later in the year while AI's at the start so they won't clash.

I'm not feeling them, we'll have to wait to see what they're actually like but I'm annoyed they got rid of Kara.

She was like the Dannii of the panel, the only one to actually give out good criticisms. The rest of the panel's comments were pointless.

I found her to be really full of herself tbh and last year since Paula left, the way she was all over Simon was just cringe worthy

[Raph]

Kara was hot

[Jessica.]

I think they are great!

American Idol is awful - Fact.

[Patrick]

So they have to have X Factor OUR X Factor sorry and have this show still?

Jesus Christ.

Either have one or the other you ******ing greedy idiots.
The fact OUR X Factor is being axed and Simon and Cheryl are ditching us for a sh*t USA copy is just disgusting.

You don't even like XF and your complaining ?

They're two different shows, and Cheryl hasn't even been confirmed.



As for what I think of the judges, well, Steven whatshisface looks like a Gorilla

If X Factor gets cancelled then I'll change my name to Beatrix, It's one of the most successful show in the UK at the moment, it's not getting cancelled it's just a mix of Tabloid lies and Simon Cowell courting media attention. X Factor will come back I can guarantee you that.

This hatred of America is getting very tiresome Patrick, you're completely ignorant and clueless of anything to do with the country or how it works.
