Randy next please.

Might be worth getting a completely new panel IMO. The trouble is nobody (including the producers) will know for sure who will be a good judge until the live shows start.

I think if they got a completely new lineup it should look something like this:

Justin Timberlake - Mariah Carey or Ricky Martin - Cher

Jennifer Lopez is going too. About to hit the headlines

Randy Jackson wants to leave too. Maria Carey to replace him is rumoured.

The problem with all three leaving (possibly) is the amount of speculation (of who will be the replacements) that will be flying around over the next few months. When do they start filming the judges auditions?

it has been confirmed now that J Lo is also going

Good riddance. He was useless. And what was his salary for doing the show? Who-pez got something like £11 Million for just saying "it was good but there was something missing" and just recycled for every contestant. Such a ridiculous amount of money to pay "judges" who just sit and say what anyone could say to the contestants. As for Who-pez demanding more money.. what a joke who does she think she is. She is nothing special like she thinks she is so it is good she got dumped from the show.

I read what she said to Ryan in an article on this website and it was a complete joke because you could tell she was ditched from the show and it wasn't her choice as she kept trying to emphasize. She is such a liar and very delusional. And she can now.... you know "heh heh heh heh heh..." somewhere else.
