I think each seas the judges discuss what type they want to win that year. It might depend on who's topping the charts and where they see an open spot, but I do think they go in, looking for a specific type.

What might be more interesting and even draw more viewers is if the auditions are blind. The judges don't get to see the contestants only hear them.

Did you guys see the story about Mario Vasquez? OMG!!! I would post the link but I noticed that it includes a crude word and don't know if I'll get in trouble for posting it. You can go to the Drudge page for the link. Or it's at TMZ.com and you can probably find it there.
