Well that didn’t last long. As was reported a few weeks back, “American Idol” decided to lessen longtime judge Randy Jackson’s role in the show next season. Jackson would make the move to be more of a mentor rather than a judge. But with Mariah Carey being the only set judge for the new season, “Idol” decided to bring Jackson back as a judge. The move came after talks with potential judge Enrique Iglesias fell apart. Even though Iglesias didn’t work out, both Nikki Minaj and Keith Urban — who were rumored to be close to deals last week — are expected to be annouced as judges this week.
