American Idol Promos Reveal New Judges' Personality Quirks

American Idol is going to look a whole lot different this season, with three new judges on the panel, and two fierce divas throwing out often opposing opinions. The latter drama has kept Season 12 in the news over the past couple of months, but as the hit singing competition show is preparing to air, we finally have some actual footage from the new judges, shown through a couple of brand new Fox promos.



The first promo video features Nicki Minaj voicing off about different contestants in the initial rounds of the hit series. The “Pound the Alarm” singer talks contestants hairdos and talent, all while making some unusually silly facial expressions. I don’t know how Minaj will actually be as a judge, but I do know she has enough energy to create an admirable onscreen presence.
