A whopping 26.1 million Americans tuned in for the 10th season premiere of American Idol last night, and while that seems like an impressive number, the show is actually down 13 percent from last year's opener, which caught the attention of nearly 30 million viewers.

Despite the ratings dip, the show crushed the rest of the Wednesday night programming, and fans seemed to enjoy new judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. We wished J Lo was a bit more catty with some of the questionable contestants, but overall she cracked us up and her interaction with the Aerosmith frontman seemed genuine. Did you watch last night?
