American Idol definitely tried to use some negative press before the season started to jump start its flagging ratings, but the Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj feud has done nothing to stop the shocking ratings freefall. So like Simon Cowell's ratings starved X Factor USA, expect to see a new judges panel next season...aside from Randy Jackson who has nowhere else to go.
Word has surfaced that American Idol was hoping to stave off their ratings freefall midseason by replacing Mariah Carey with Jennifer Lopez, but that's been more to plug Lopez's appearance o the show in May. The problem with Idol is way more serious, and their adding Carey with Minaj has done nothing to help ratings. Keith Urban has been a complete bland bore on the show and Minaj has turned off many of the core audience across America. The THR rumor story of Carey getting bumped off the show seems a little odd since manager and fellow judge would have nixed that quickly with a very high priced litigation threat.
