Did we really need a special press conference to announce what we all have known for weeks?
American Idol made this earth shattering, shocking expected announcement today: Golden Globe-nominated actress, platinum-selling recording artist, movie producer and entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez and multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Steven Tyler, the frontman of Aerosmith – the best-selling American rock band of all time – have joined Idol as judges. Lopez and Tyler will join returning Idol judge Randy Jackson for the 10th anniversary season, which premieres January 2011 on FOX.
The only news that Idol announced today which had not yet been leaked is that Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, co-founder of Beats Audio and one of the world’s most successful and prolific music producers, will join Idol an in-house mentor.
OK. Got it. Who loves/hates/doesn’t care about this new lineup?
