Adam Lambert praises "perfect" American Idol judging panel

Adam Lambert has revealed his admiration for this year's American Idol judges.

The singer was runner-up on the TV talent show back in 2009 and he was heavily rumoured for a judging role this year.

However, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban were all added to the show alongside Randy Jackson.

The panel got off to a rocky start after a video emerged of Minaj and Carey arguing on set, but the 'Trespassing' man praised the "entertaining" nature of the foursome. He said:

"Watching @AmericanIdol - the judge panel is PERFECT. credible, entertaining, and balanced! fab! LUV this First episode! #idol13."
