A lot has been going on in the world ofAmerican Idol especially when it comes to the last spot at the judges’ table.

To help clear up any confusion, we’ve made a list of the latest names who have been added to the short list of possibilities. And of course, why we think they might fit in perfectly withMariah.

NICKI MINAJ

The female rapper is nearly “100% confirmed to judge American Idol,” or at least that’s what Us Weekly reported earlier this week. While some question if Mariah could handle another lady on the panel, we think Nicki and her many personalities make her less another lady and someone for Mariah to consult with. Besides the two look pretty chummy in the video for Mariah’s 2010 song, “Up Out of My Face.”
