New “American Idol” judge Harry Connick Jr. says to “expect the unexpected” from him and fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban. The trio held a tryout Wednesday in Boston for the Fox show’s upcoming season, which begins in January. “I mean, I didn’t know what to expect, and Keith and Jennifer have both done it before, and I think the whole fun of it is not knowing what to expect,” Connick said. The jazz singer and musician has been an “Idol” mentor. Lopez was a judge in 2011 and 2012 before taking a year off to tour. Urban was a judge last season, often caught between bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
