Was the OG panel of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell your favorite? Or maybe the chaos of the Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj era? How about when they threw in a little Steven Tyler? Or, do you like the current panel of Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan?
I want to hear your thoughts. Personally, the original panel can't be beat for me, but I do truly appreciate the current panel as my second favorite throughout the years. I think they work well together and can spot major talent.
