Not only do we have new American Idol judges Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki MInaj, but we also have the return of Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest. The off-season and American Idol 2013 auditions have brought major drama for the show, so I think it could be a ratings hike for FOX, which is exactly what they wanted when they brought on the new judges for American Idol Season 12.

FOX has one thing down pat and that is promoting the hell out of American Idol 2013 and with the new judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban, they want everyone tuning in to see all the happenings.
