The pair were formally announced as the Fox competition&amp;#039;s newest signings at a press conference last month and are currently filming the audition stage of the tenth season alongside Randy Jackson.  Speaking to the New York Post about the pair, Abdul - who left the American Idol panel in 2009 - said that producers had &amp;quot;picked some veterans who know what it takes to make it in this business&amp;quot;.  The singer also spoke about her own upcoming talent show venture Live To Dance, which aims to find the best amateur solo dancer or group dancers in America, telling the newspaper that she wants to &amp;quot;encourage people who excel in different areas of dance&amp;quot;.  She added: &amp;quot;Fuse them together, show me a style I haven&amp;#039;t seen, show me what makes you smile.&amp;quot; Abdul previously said that she was &amp;quot;thrilled&amp;quot; to be working on the program, saying that she had spent &amp;quot;the better part of [her] life teaching, mentoring and nurturing&amp;quot; and was looking forward to helping others achieve their dreams.  She will be joined on the judging panel by Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, who currently serves as a judge on the original British version of the show called Got To Dance, and choreographer Travis Payne, who worked on the Michael Jackson movie This Is It.
