In a turn of events that Simon Cowell surely hadn’t predicted — Reality TV show “American Idol” ratings fell by 19 percent. And more shocking…the ratings declined after Wednesday night’s big premiere. We hate to say “only” and 17.8 million viewers in the same sentence, but according to Nielsen this is not a good look.

As we sit and ponder over the numbers we can only speculate that the feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was a factor.
“People wonder if the fight was faked to get people talking about the new season,” one insider at Fox told E! News. “It was not fake. And when the video came out, there was a lot of concern among Fox execs that there could be impact on the ratings. The judges need to be likable.”
Idol judge Minaj was however overly optimistic, in a statement to E! the rapper said, “I feel like we jell well in a weird crazy way.”
Fox executives also noted that “Idol” beat the 2012 September premiere of NBC singing show rival “The Voice” by 46 percent in total viewers.
Singers Carey, Minaj and country artist Keith Urban joined the show as judges after Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler left last year.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj’s much-anticipated judging debut on season 12 of ‘American Idol’ kicked off with claws out!

The young hip hop star has since established his own company, Young Money Entertainment, which boasts major artists Drake, Nicki Minaj and Christina Milian.
TMZ caught up with Cee Lo Green and asked what he thought of the feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. He said, “This is Hollywood, California. Hardly anything’s legit.” When asked if he thinks the Nicki and Mariah saga would give ‘Idol’ a ratings boost, he said, “I’m not intimidated. I think…
Nicki Minaj wants to shoot Mariah Carey?

According to Barbara Walters, who spoke to Carey Thursday morning and relayed the conversation on ABC’s “The View,” Minaj made the comment while leaving the set after this week’s encounter, which was videotaped. She says other staff members heard the same gun remark.
“She said that when Nicki walked off the set, multiple people heard Nicki say, ‘If I had a gun I would shoot the b—h,’” Walters shared.
“She is very concerned. She is with her twins,” Walters says. “She doesn’t feel that anything would happen. I’m quoting now, ‘But Nicki is unpredictable’ and Mairah says she can’t take a chance and she has hired extra security.”
Walters says that the two have since been in meetings together, but that Minaj has not apologized. At one of those encounters, Minaj apparently told Mariah that she loves her but predicts “we might fight again.” Walters says Mariah responded with “No, we will not.”
“Mariah said she doesn’t feel comfortable emotionally, but she will continue with the show because she likes the show and she loves mentoring the contestants,” Walters says.
After “The View” Minaj took to Twitter to share her side of the story.
”Hey yAll. Lets just say nicki said smthn about a gun. ppl will believe it cuz she’s a black rapper. Lmao. I’ll then hit up Barbara n milk it,” Minaj tweeted. “Ironically no camera or mic heard the gun comment tho. Lol @ the struggle. Not even the producers believed u. Say no to violence barbs.”
Minaj says Walters had not reached out for comment. “I guess we’re too dangerous,” she tweeted. “I don’t call tmz n Barbara Walters cuz I stand on my own two feet. Never needed an army. God is good. Insecurity is as cruel as the grave.”

After weeks of speculation that Nicki Minaj would join the “American Idol” judges’ panel, on Sunday (September 16), it was confirmed that the pop star had indeed inked a deal with the Fox show, in the wake of departures by Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez after season 11.
Mariah Carey better make some room at the ‘American Idol’ judges table because Nicki Minaj and all of her multiple personalities will be taking a seat next to the diva. While the ink isn’t dry just yet, according to ‘Us Weekly’ two sources confirm the news.
NEW YORK — Associate Press- Nicki Minaj sings about “Starships,” but is she a star-maker? The singer-rapper could be joining the ranks of “American Idol” judges.
A person close to Minaj said the entertainer has been in talks to judge the Fox TV competition and that a deal is in works. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss.
If Minaj signs on, she would join Mariah Carey as a judge on “Idol,” which returns in January. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced their exits from the show last month.
Minaj — known for her colorful hairstyles, wardrobe and antics — is best known for hits like “Super Bass” and “Starships.”

The most anticipated moment of the night was the tribute to Whitney Houston. Led by her mother, Cissy Houston, the emotional segment saw Mariah Carey and Houston’s castmates from “Waiting To Exhale” musing about their bond.
Monica and Brandy also gave show-stopping performances before Houston’s mother performed “Bridge Over Troubled Water” in front of a large graphic of her and her daughter singing together. She, and the audience, shed tears.
The moving tribute came after a performance by gospel artist Yolanda Adams, who had some words of wisdom for artists in the wake of Houston’s death.
“We need all of y’all.… I’m saying the world. Please make sure you’re using your gift responsibly, wisely. We’re all watching,” she said as she clutched her trophy for best gospel artist.
Rapper Nicki Minaj has denied claims her dancers were involved in the death of a young Irish fan whose body was found in a hotel room after attending a Tokyo concert.
