American Idol Auditions: Judge's round in NYC

Posted: Updated:
MYFOXNY.COM -

American Idol wannabes lined up outside Jazz at Lincoln Center Monday morning for the next round of auditions for the hit singing competition show.

Contestants taking part in the 'judge's round' are performing in front of Randi Jackson, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban.

"Idol" is looking for its famous new faces to supercharge a show that remains a ratings leader but has seen its viewership and pop-culture clout erode in recent seasons in an increasingly crowded talent show field.

Besides Fox sibling "The X Factor," which recently added Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as judges, there's NBC's "The Voice," which boasts Christina Aguilera among its big names.

"American Idol" ended the 2011-12 season as the leading entertainment show and No. 2 overall, just behind NBC's top-rated "Sunday Night Football."
