Now that this is the definite Idol team, we have to wonder what happened to all of those rumors about allegedly locking down Enrique Iglesias. And the ones about Kanye West. And Adam Lambert and Nick Jonas.
Though the world may never know what happened behind Foxs closed doors on those fronts, heres some fun facts about the four folks who will be on the tube each week.
1.
Their combined age is 171. Minaj is the youngest judge by far at 29. Jackson is the oldest at 56.
2. They bring 10 Grammy wins to the table. Carey has five, Urban has four, and Jackson has won one as a producer. Though Minaj has six BET Awards, she has yet to win a Grammy.
3.
They have a total of 7 kids. You might not know this, but Jackson is a father of three. Carey has twins, and Urban has two little girls. Again, Minaj is the odd one out in this category.
4.
Minaj is the only single judge. Jackson has been married since 1995, Carey and Nick Cannon tied the knot in 2008, and Urban and Nicole Kidman got hitched in 2006. Minaj is rumored to be seeing a guy named Safaree Samuels, but shes never admitted it.
5. Two of them were born outside the US Minaj was born in Trinidad and Tobago and Urban is from Australia. Carey was born in New York and Jackson was born in Louisiana.
