First it was Paula, now Ellen, Simon (both leaving by choice) and Kara (fired) are out, leaving Randy the lone original judge on the panel. (For reasons I still don't understand.)

Jennifer Lopez & Steven Tyler are taking their places on the panel, going back to the original 3 judge panel, but if you had the power to replace Randy, who would you choose?

Randy should stay

He's the only original judge left. Him & Ryan are the only constants on the show now.

I feel like the connection between Steven, J.Lo, and Randy would be really awkward. I chose JT even though that won't happen.

Janet Jackson

If I could pick any 3, they would be Kara, Simon, and Steven Tyler. Randy is annoying, all he knows how to say is pitchy.

Randy should stay.

Randy should stay just because he's an original judge but if he was to get the ax, Diddy or Harry Connick Jr would be good replacements.

Queen Simpson :heart:

How about a real judge?
Judge Judy>>>>>>>>>>>>

WAT DID RANDY ACTUALLY DO BEFORE HE CAME TO IDOL?? Cause they should have let him keep his day job

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE even though I know that won't happen

and if RANDY still stays as the judge --> fine to me

Randy is a music producer.

The only person who i would actually PREFER over Simon is Howard Stern.
He'd be like Simon x20 on crack. lol. He's perfect for being the show's blunt mean one.
Plus, he's funny as hell.

Justin Timberlake for sure!

Jessica Simpson

Randy is the only og judge left. Plus he should leave if he wants to like Simon did because he paid his dues. Even if his persona is played. How old is he? LOL!

Where's the none option or just cancel the damn show?

JT

jessica simpson... howard stern would be great too.

I voted for Hilary Duff

I would have 4: Kara, Simon, Steven, and Harry Connick Jr.
