According to sources the judges for season ten have been officially named and they are almost ready to reveal who they are. They will be revealed on September 22 and Ryan Seacrest will reveal the judging panel at that time.
Over the summer it was touch and go for the network, negotiating and getting judges to sit on the panel. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that other judges had left the panel to do other things and in some ways this caused a hardship on the network. And of course, Simon Cowell left the show at the end of the last season.
Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler is one of those expected to be revealed as a judge however at this point in time every name listed is speculation. Jennifer Lopez was another name listed. Of course Randy Jackson will still be a part of the judging panel and is somewhat considered a veteran of the Idol since the show’s inaugural season. Randy is still with the network and is excited to work with the judges chosen for the job at the beginning of the next season. Even he, has no idea who those judges will be although he can speculate as well. They all made their demands and were in talks about who would or would not be on the judging panel during season ten when it returns in 2011.
There are a lot of fans for the American Idol show and they are more than ready for the season to begin once again. They are also curious as to who was really chosen to be on the judging panel too. However, none of us will know until the 22nd of September. By this time those anticipating certain judges will have the knowledge of who replaced the other judges.
