My Idol MJB

Mary J. Blige has signed on to be a guest judge on American Idol next season.

Go, Mary! If anyone should school those wannabes it’s gotta be the undisputed Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, right?

Good timing, too. I think MJB’s releasing a new album in November, so the timing is perfect since the ninth season of the hit Fox reality competition show premieres next January.
