After The Voice and The X Factor each had a successful first season, are you still ready for some American Idol?

The Idol judges think you are.

“It was hard for me in the beginning to say ‘no’ at all,” Jennifer Lopez tells TV Guide Magazine. “This season] we’re just as honest and just as compassionate, but maybe a tiny bit more blunt about it… it has to be tough love. Maybe we’re a little tougher on the tough-love part.”

Is fellow judge Randy Jackson worried about all the singing competition shows out there? Hell no, he is not.

“There’s only one Coca-Cola,” Randy Jackson says. “There may be many different variations made, but this is the original one. That’s why I still call this the greatest talent show of its kind.”

Jackson also differentiates between his show and Simon Cowell’s X Factor: He says Idolis a “more intimate show,” further explaining, “I think that’s what really helps these kids. It’s focused on us, yes, but not so much that you lose focus on the kids’ talent. We never want to overshadow that.”
