Not of the fan of the show myself..but they sure do have some cool things going on this season. In addition to Ellen Degeneres taking Paula Abduls old job, they have a stellar guest judge line up for the auditions.

Victoria Beckham, Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, Shanae Grimes, Mary J. Blige, Kristen Chenowith and Avril Lavigne all guest star this season.
