News: 8 Reasons Why Keith Urban Is Our Favorite American Idol Judge – In GIFs – The success of American Idol’s grand experiment – attempting to revive the judges’ panel in the show’s 12th season with the addition of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban – is debatable at best, with the feud between Carey and Minaj creating more of an annoying distraction than entertaining television.

The 47-year-old comedian and his 27-year-old professional dance partner were eliminated during week seven of the competition on Tuesday, Apr. 30, after feeling “berated” by the judges. “We’re sad . . . but it’s okay,” Dick told reporters after being sent home. “We are proud of what we did here.” How did he fight back tears? “By clenching my jaw!
