" \n   \n   \n   \n   \n  \n \nThe new American Idol judging panel &amp;#x2014; Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson &amp;#x2014; headed to Austin, Texas last weekend for two days of auditions, where the crew joined host Ryan Seacrest to watch hundreds of try-outs. Two cities into their season 10 audition tour, new judges Tyler and Lopez also talked about how they were adjusting to their new jobs. &amp;quot;Was I nervous doing this? You bet your booty,&amp;quot; Tyler told Fox. &amp;quot;Season ten for American Idol is going to be over the top, so it&amp;apos;s hard for us to say &amp;apos;Nope, sorry, you don&amp;apos;t cut it,&amp;apos; because they well up, they cry, they make me cry.&amp;quot; \n \n Who Should Have Been the New American Idol Judges? \n \nWhile viewers will have to wait until the January premiere to see the new judges&amp;apos; on-screen chemistry, Jackson, a judge since season one, promises that this year&amp;apos;s talent has been the best yet. &amp;quot;The talent is better this season...I know we say it every time,&amp;quot; Jackson said. &amp;quot;I think we&amp;apos;ve put through more people in these last two cities than we&amp;apos;ve put through in the whole thing, past seasons.&amp;quot; Lopez estimated that at one point, 15 straight contestants were given the golden ticket to Hollywood Week. &amp;quot;Randy&amp;apos;s been here forever, so he was a great help and a gauge. It was like, &amp;apos;OK, who&amp;apos;s coming in here? How does this compare?&amp;apos; But now were comparing from city to city, so now we&amp;apos;re kind of getting a flow,&amp;quot; Lopez said. \n \n Keep up with rock&amp;apos;s hottest photos in Random Notes \n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
