#MariahCarey And #NickiMinaj Flee #AmericanIdol

With the show's ratings at an all time high and the last original judge Randy Jackson finally packing it in, we didn't think American Idol could take another hit. But unfortunately, it took two more hits when both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj whose scripted on and off air beef helped to keep some interest in the show, also packed it in. Both divas made their announcements on Twitter.

Mariah Carey through her PR reps said: "W/ global success of “#Beautiful” (#1 in 30+ countries so far) @MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol mariahcarey.com"

Nicki Minaj tweeted: Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!

What's next for the show which now only has Ryan Seacrest left from the original bunch? No one knows other than the fact that they will roll out new judges. Seacrest has already hinted that he is only good for one more season.
