American Idol has no problem finding talent on the stage or in the judge's seat.

Joining judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on "American Idol" during auditions in Atlanta will be Mary J. Blige. The show is wrapping up tryouts in Boston where Victoria Beckham ends her run as judge.

"The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria," a show source says. "She's had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants."

With the recent guest judges, their still has been no announcement for filling Paula Abdul's vacant chair. Peter Rice, chairman of entertainment at Fox, sounded energized for the uncertainty of the show when he told Reuters earlier this month, "Obviously, there is going to be a different dynamic, [and] there is something exciting about that."

Still no word when Katy Perry will make her "Idol" guest judge debut.
