New 'American Idol' judge Steven Tyler has promised to be "very harsh" on the panel of the talent show.
Speaking to reporters, the Aerosmith star said of his judging style: "I don't take what happened to me this morning or last night or with the band or with extras."
"I don't take that into judging kids [like] other people might have."
"I kind of take what I've grown up with, which is being a very harsh judge of myself, of my vocals, of my band, and lay that across the talent that comes across my view."
He also hinted that he will be appearing on 'American Idol' again next season, saying: "I have more than a one-year contract. But as you know, things are what they are."
"But I have more than a one-year contract. I'll give you that one."
