Keith Urban is the product of a talent show himself, so he knows how important the American Idol opportunity can be for the hopefuls we will meet this season. Between the ages of 9 and 12, Keith said he competed in three talent shows. He lost all of them, but it helped him get some experience on stage. Of course, Keith says he was real nervous about joining American Idol and it took a while for the judges to all settle down and settle into their role on the show. He says by the time they got to Hollywood week a lot of the tension among the judges was behind them. Tonight, American Idol Season 12 debuts on FOX with auditions from Chicago.

That's why I'm so grateful I have people looking after me, like [my bodyguard] Dennis." Taylor reveals her security team has stepped it up recently, notifying the singer of specific dangerous individuals to look out for in the crowds. "Over the past couple of years it's got worse," she says. "I get told if there's been an attempt or a threat. My security text me a picture and say, 'Look out for this dude; he's driven across the country, he's off his meds [medication],' or something like that.
