"They like and respect each other a lot. What you see on camera is exactly what you get when they're off -- fun, playful but they all take this job very seriously," the source said.
Idol host Ryan Seacrest revealed during Wednesday night's performance show the cities where auditions for the next season will be held beginning on June 18.
Ironically, New York, Nashville and New Orleans are all on the list and those cities happen to be the judges' hometowns. The two other stops will be Minneapolis, MN, and San Francisco, CA. Connick Jr. also made it clear during Wednesday's broadcast he'd like to serve as a judge again as long as he's asked back.
American Idol's thirteenth season marked Lopez's third time as a judge, Urban's second stint on the show, and Harry Connick Jr.'s first time on the panel.
Later this year, Idol's "Audition Bus Tour" will head out again and visit the following additional cities: Portland, OR; Portland, ME; Reno, NV; Columbus, OH; Albuquerque, NM; Amarillo, TX; Myrtle Beach, SC; Branson, MO; Tallahassee, FL; Richmond, VA; and Kansas City, MO. Therefore, 15 cities across America will be reached throughout the entire audition process.
