Who would’ve ever thought we’d see this group together?!

The first photo of the new American Idol judges was released yesterday. The panel now includes Mariah Carey, 42, Keith Urban, 44, Nicki Minaj, 29, and Randy Jackson, 56.

The foursome was photographed at the judges table in midtown NYC with their host, Ryan Seacrest, 37. ”After some musical chairs, here’s how the new American Idol judges will be seated,” Seacrest wrote underneath the photo on Facebook.

“With the exciting addition of Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj, alongside Randy Jackson, American Idol‘s star power has never been so great,” executive producer Simon Fuller said in a statement.

So what do you think of the new judges? Do they have what it takes to bring in the ratings like the last panel?
