Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson appeared together at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the first official auditions of season 12.
The night before, the judges — plus host Ryan Seacrest and others in the “Idol” family — all went out for a group dinner at New York hotspot Crown.
“Everyone gave a heartfelt toast about being on the show after we ate last night,” Seacrest tweeted afterwards.
