It's a terrific strategy, shining the spotlight on what appears to be future contestants competing for the title, while the judges put the focus where it belongs: hopes and dreams.

The spot hits all the right notes, set against a dreamy piano score with images of each judge speaking against a backdrop of golden lighting.

"To all the dreamers," smiles Carey.

"To everyone who thought they'd never have a chance," continues Minaj.

"It's time to make dreams come true," promises Urban.

It is unclear if the group of singers featured are the ones that made it through to Hollywood, but a shot of a girl playing the violin on the stoop of her home and a boy blowing into a harmonica on a set of stairs are striking visuals before the final shot of host Ryan Seacrest wrapping things up with his trademark, "This...is American Idol."

American Idol returns Jan. 16.
