"I think it's gonna find it's sway," Tyler said. "They have to sit next to each other and deal with each other and get their personalities to work. We'll see what happens. [Jennifer Lopez], I and Randy -- it worked right away. I knew from having lunch with Randy that I could sit next to him in front of 40 million people watching and have fun, because he's that real. And J.Lo I was enamored by."

Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj will join Idol veteran Randy Jackson as judges on the singing competition, filling spots vacated by Tyler and J.Lo.
