As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, in late July, Mariah was confirmed as a judge on "American Idol's" Season 12.

According to Mimi's husband, Nick Cannon, his wife will be the fiercest face to ever sit at the judges' table - maybe even tougher than Simon Cowell.

"She's very serious about music and singing. She'll probably be the toughest judge that's ever been on [the] show," Nick told Access Hollywood backstage at "America's Got Talent" last week.
