Time to judge the judges!

Earlier this year it was announced that American Idol is set to return on the ABC network after reaching an agreement with FremantleMedia which cut short the hiatus of the reality competition series. Initially, the show was cancelled due to the decline in ratings during the previous seasons.

The resurrection of the series has officially been marked by the introduction of three new judges, country singer Luke Bryan, world-renowned balladeer Lionel Richie, and millennial pop superstar, Katy Perry.

The three made their first joint appearance on ABC's Good Morning America yesterday. As expected, Ryan Seacrest will be returning to host the new season after being the staple presenter for the past fifteen seasons.

We love the new set of judges, what are your thoughts?
