Mariah Carey Suggests Lenny Kravitz as American Idol Judge Instead of Nicki Minaj

The American Idol judging rumor mill is still churning, as the sole officially confirmed judge, Mariah Carey, has reportedly suggested Lenny Kravitz would make a more suitable addition to the panel than Nicki Minaj.

According to a WENN article, American Idol season 12 judge Mariah Carey, who has previously been reported to be none too happy about the prospect of having Minaj as a co-judge, has suggested her good pal Lenny Kravitz would be a better candidate.

The article offers the following tweets as "evidence:"

@mariahcarey @americanidol Girl, we've known each other since we were teenagers. How fun would that be?!

The plot thickens!  I wouldn't mind looking at Mr. Kravitz a couple times a week....
