‘American Idol’ taps Lopez, Connick as judges

LOS ANGELES (AP) - “American Idol” is betting that a judges’ remix with Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will fare better with viewers than bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj did last season. The rumored addition of Lopez and Connick as judges for season 13 was announced today by Fox. They’ll join Urban to make up the talent show’s first panel consisting solely of singers - a la NBC’s successful 2011 upstart “The Voice.”
