• Who cares? Idol isn’t relevant anymore. It’s all about The Voice.

• Great for Jennifer’s resurgence and profound $ucce$$ and mass appeal, must be driving her once tormentor Rosie Perez insane in the membrane!

  • you’ll have to elaborate. I guess i missed that epic Perez/Lopez smackdown…circa 1999 I would assume.

• That’s great, but how is JLO able to handle so many projects at one time? She’s filming 3 movies. Movie with Cameron Diaz, starring in the movie Parker with Jason S., and a voice on Ice Age), still promoting her music, commercial endorsements, Exec. Producer of the South Tow reality show, Q’Viva with Marc Anthony and now American Idol. That’s alot.

  • FYI. Just because you lend your name to something to “produce” doesn’t mean you actually do any work.

• JLo doesn’t have a whole lot of options to do anything but– her music career has stalled and the Revlon ads are soon to follow.

  I liked her on AI a lot. She could do a lot worse…

• I don’t know. Season 10 got off to a really promising start, but ended on a whimper. Unless Nigel can get Steven and J-Lo to start being more honest and not saying every song is good, it’s going to be a boring season.

  • Completely agree. For the first time in my life, I watched AI and enjoyed the first few episodes (not because of J.Lo, moreso because I was just bored). However, my interest quickly faded when the judges just couldn’t give an honest critique to save their lives. It just got sickening with all the sugar in my pop.

    Anyways, I would much rather watch The Voice and am interested in X Factor.

• Oh boy. Becasue she was so compelling last season. What a bore. I’m not anti-J.Lo, but she was not very interesting to watch on AI. Steven Tyler even less so. But she delivers no spark whatsoever.

• I agree, Jenn really brought the early episodes to life, but once the competition started, kind of fizzled. Jennifer is so fun to watch, it would be nice if they’d have her do more in those later episodes. Add a moment with her helping the kids figure out a video or something. She’s good TV.

• It’s all about X Factor and The Voice now. At least The Voice knows how to make the show entertaining. With X Factor, you have Simon Cowell and LA Reid who aren’t afraid to tell the truth. And Nicole Scherzinger, judging from the UK version isn’t afraid to tell when someone sucks. Cheryl Cole might be nice and sweet, but Nicole is nice too but, gives more crticism than Cheryl did.

• I was happy to hear the news. I liked Jennifer on AI. Steve Tyler was just goofy enough to make him interesting, but I really appreciated her honesty and emotion. She gave some good advice too. (and no I don’t work for J-Lo, or in the biz at all, just an insurance grunt looking for a break from the daily hum-drum)

• She probably got a shitload of coin to return to this drabfest. Seacrest is a dweeb as always and the other two judges are fossilbs, but yes, rich fossils at that. X factor, if it succeeds, will force AI off the air in the next year or two.

• I liked Jennifer Lopez until she criticized the young blonde singer named Kelly Reinhart constantly while heaping praise on every other mediocre singer. JLo cannot sing-she lip-sync’s to all her songs. She is beautiful but I don’t think she is a qualified Judge for singing talent.

• i’m so happy of this news.
  i love JLo
  she is a very good singer and actress and she judged season 10 very well
  somebody that say jennifer doesnt sing and just lip-sync’s to the musics. i have to say to them
  she sing in her live shows and concerts
  but she play the song and sing on that
  because she cares about the quality of the show
  you can see the enrique lievs.he make the song and sing on it in the show.
  this is the reason that his live havent the quality like jennifer
  so stop hatting her
  she is the best.
