Select up to 3 of the 11 judges based on their time as a judge on American Idol, not their personal music careers.

Harry, Nicki (take out Mariah so they didn't feud and she would've been great), ...Keith, I guess?

A bad list when I look at it. Simon obviously s**** on them all. I'll give Kara some credit for Season 9, she actually was invested and gave actionable critique to that pathetic group of contestants. Harry could be great but has been a huge disappointment to me. Paula grew on me by the end but she wasn't giving much. Randy became insufferable by Season 7 and wasn't all that important before then. JLO is fine. Keith is ok but annoying. Ellen was useless. Steven Tyler was funny but got old.

Simon, Paula, and Nicki. JLO, HCJ, Randy and Kara were all varying levels of awful.

Simon, Randy, JLo. Paula was never qualified to judge a singing competition but she was a kindred spirit on the show. Nicki would be 4th for me.

Simon, Jennifer, and Keith. That would have made a great panel. Also enjoyed Steven, but he wasn't the judging type. I like Harry, too, but this year I'm not feeling him as much.

I like Jlo
She has 360 knowledge of the industry and she's a diva which always helps with ratings
I'm not surprised they kept asking her back

Simon and Paula were the only ones of relevance. Nicki probably could have been decent if she wasn't constantly starting shit with Mariah, and Kara would have been decent if she didn't constantly come off like such an uppity bitch. Lol @ anyone voting for Randy "5 word vocabulary" Jackson.

Randy is a music industry expert and I personally enjoyed his comments. However, I think he started to care a little less as the show progressed (leading to a decline in the quality of his comments), especially when Mariah and Nicki were there.

I haven't followed the show lately, and only did sporadically even at its height. But I often enjoyed the audition shows and it seemed to me that Randy was often very important there, especially as part of the original three. Simon was the toughest on potential contestants and Paula tended to be more lenient (sometimes struggling to pep talk clearly poor singers) and often balanced out Simon's no's, leaving Randy as the tiebreaker.

I think Kara was really underrated as a judge (aside from writing the nauseating "No Boundaries").

I think this poll should have the words "aside from Simon" in the title. Btw, picked Simon, Harry, and JLo.

Simon, Paula & Harry.
The 3 worst: Kara, Nicki, Ellen
I never cared for Kara DioGuardi as a judge because she pretty much shunned anyone who wasn't the singer-songwriter coffeehouse type and that was her only defintion of "artistry."
Nicki Minaj was a joke.
Ellen just looked uncomfortable as a judge and spent more time stuttering than judging.
