Keith Urban ready to kick off 'circus' of 'American Idol' season

Keith Urban is ready for viewers to see the amazing talent that he witnessed during auditions on "American Idol." Speaking out Wednesday, the award-winning artist and judge labeled the show a "circus."

"So ready to kick off the circus of "Idol" tonight. Can't wait to introduce some amazing talent to the world," Urban shared just hours before the season premiere. "Tune in at 8/7c on FOX and tweet during the show."

As previously reported, Urban is one of three new judges to appear this season.

Earlier this week, Urban discussed what it was like to be part of this panel of four judges that are passionate about music and aspiring recording artists.

"We're putting the fun in dysfunction. It feels like I've joined this band in some ways. We've got two girl singers and two guys in the band. It just feels like a band to me," he shared with "Ellen" Monday.

"American Idol" airs Wednesday and Thursday nights on FOX.
