Fergie was ALWAYS a great person in my books. I had an entire list of potential judges. For females I had Fergie, Sia, or Pink among others. - For a musician I had Max Martin, Timbaland, among others. - For a third judge I had John Mayer in mind once again among others. - I wouldn't want Fergie to play second fiddle to KP though, and I like the show best with 3 judges, so unless they wanna go 2 female one male, then they need to stick with just KP as the sole female IMO. - Imagine a panel that would have been something like: Lionel Richie-Fergie-John Mayer OR Timbaland-Fergie-John Mayer - THESE would have been gold!
