Nicki Minaj American Idol Judge: Many Fans Not Too Thrilled

With the news that Nicki Minaj is likely to join the judge's table on the upcoming season of "American Idol," many fans have responded on Twitter and in comment posts - not too many pleased about the announcement of the new face of "Idol." Check out some of the not-so-thrilled reactions:

"This show will sink faster than the Titanic!! Hiring Minaj is a "Death Sentence". R.I.P Idol"

"Two ugly women on American Idol, I am done watching that show." (In regards to Mariah Carey also joining the cast).

"Lol american idol..You should've gone off air a long time ago, when you were loved and respected. Now you're at a low point, and making ridiculous decisions. Nicki Minaj? really? Now you're obviously hoping to make money off popularity than off talent. GO AWAY!"

@ZedalzaNewYork: "If Nicki Minaj and Mariah judge American Idol, it will be the first time that the judges will have less talent than the first rounf rejects."

"Wow, Mariah is a credible musician, is watchable.  Niki Miniaj is pure garbage - will NOT watch the show anymore!"

"This has not been confirmed by FOX, so I wonder if this no-talent hack started this rumor to get her name in the press.  It pains me that she makes money for the swill she puts out, when people who are truly talented can't get a break in the business."

@LAdyxFarrah: "Nicki Minaj as a judge on American Idol? The music industry is on its arse."

"Maybe they will rename that show 'american trash' now." 

@NotthatAdamWest: "Hiring Nicki Minaj to judge American Idol is like hiring Todd Akin to teach biology."

"They can try and give this show new life all they want, never going to happen. AI should have ended YEARS ago!!"

"Have fun Randy going down the the Idol Ship!  Oh Captain...My Captain... (sigh)...I will NOT be watching with that wanna be Minor League Minaj!"

"American Idol is a gonner if Nicki Minaj is a judge!!! She is not what middle America wants as a judge and that is who watches AI... I agree... RIP Idol."
