With co-judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson already signed on and set for next season’s American Idol, fans and spectators alike eagerly anticipated news on singer/actress Jennifer Lopez‘s redo or departure.
That may be set to change.
Although the ‘If You Had My Love’ singer previously expressed uncertainty in her return, reports have surfaced that Lopez (who was paid $12 million for last season alone) will be making a ‘big announcement’ on the ‘Today Show’ tomorrow morning – possibly confirming her return to the show. Read more on that story here.
And, while her previously stalled career has been given a new life (on the big screen, radio, and record shelves alike), one has to wonder if Jenny from the block was on the right track by considering giving the show one-go-round.
That Grape Juice wants to know: Should J. Lo return to ‘Idol’?
![Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/miguel-new-music-2024-2025-tgj-464x260.jpg "Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen].")
no she shouldnt y she need to judge she cant sing herself they need jennifer hudson as a judge she can acctually sing and many more people will watch
If she is getting paid $12 million solely for a season, then she should return. That itself is more than what most singers earn annually. LOL
But if she wants to release new music, she should find some time to promote the hell our of it.
Opportunities like these only come once in life…..
#Get it J.Lo
She should do idol for another season but not make it a career. She’s honestly the first judge to have a career outside the show. I think Idol was a great move and she’s definitely set a trend for A-listers to be on these talent shows. I think she’ll should do another season so people won’t say “oh she just did this to get back in the limelight.”
for the right price, anything is possible.
but j.lo did mention having other projects in the works, including a world tour.
…if im not mistaken.
honestly, i feel like american idol is losing steam. they become more & more of a joke here in america every year.
She should come back, On the floor was a huge hit but Love? flopped and I’m not a hater I even bought her album but to be honest her album didn’t sell so she has to look for a job that actually gets her money 12 million is a lot and I read somewhere she was asking 20 million.
Yes! She should most deff return! Who gives a flyin fudge if she can sing or not? she is one of the best performers ever. Jeniifer Lopez has a great personality and it greatly contributes to AI.
J.Lo is a smart woman
We all know J.Lo’s music ain’t selling as much as it was during the 2000s. Plus, she is not a good singer. Only few singers can do what they are doing in their 40’s and still be somehow successful. Case in point: Janet Jackson. At this age in her career, it is the talent that speaks….That is why Madonna and Janet are still available
if she is really insisting on putting out music, she needs to make Spanish songs and target her Spanish audience. Because, if she releases another English album and if flops, that will be a wrap for her music career,
Meanwhile, I definitely see her accomplice, Shakira, having a longer stay in the business over J.LO
Yeah those idol seasons go by fast and for all that cash and publicity I say do it..plus if she needs the day off Marc Anthony could fill in for her.
Her last album FLOPPED like a fish out of water, so of course she is goin to return. I know I would!
@KellyMotivation b**** u dont know what your talking about. Her album LOVE? Is gold certified. On the floor is a double platinum single. JLo in her music career has sold over 55 million albums worlwide and she just gotten picked to receive a star on the hollywood walk of fame for her musical accomplishments .get ur facts together
I think she should do another year. It’s a no brainer! Jlo was able to benefit from all the exposure and that can continue to keep her relevant. Her strength is in performing and making videos and that’s a big stage to debut new music on as well as a great forum where people will tune in weekly to see her and be updated on everything Jlo. It doesn’t hurt that she’s great eye candy for everyone – she’s one of the few that truly deserve to be recognized as a fashion icon and she’s s***. She’s also getting a heap of money to do each season. I think with out her Idol will lose some hype, so I’m sure their making her a sweet deal. Also to those that ponder over why she’s judging when she supposedly can’t sing, don’t consider that there’s more to being an artist than singing well. Jlo is quite knowledgeable of that. Showmanship, song selection, connecting with your audience, finding your niche to stay in your own lane (and find your own identity) are factors as well. Jlo does that!

I honestly think this show is done. Every season, the ratings get lower and lower. The show helped make On The Floor a top 10 hit IMO, but I think she can do better without it. I think The Voice and X Factor will be the end of Idol
@J.LO AND BEYONCE NEED TO DUET
LOVE? flopped so badly but her single “On the floor” did well on the charts. But now “Into you’ ain’t doing that well on the charts. The album flopped so terrible considering the buzz and promotions behind it.
Her album “Brave” flopped so badly and was one of the worst sellers for 2007.
I swear, some people on this website are either too slow, too blind or just don’t think before typing with their little fingers.
luv me some j.,lo, but love? was a hot mess, forgetable music, a few hit singles, but she need to return for one more season!!
Janet has no record label. Nobody cares about her old ass anymore lol
LOL at the Kelly Rowland STAN. Leave the shady posts to Rihanna gaga beyonce stans. Kelly doesn’t have a career in the US. At least J-LO is liked in her own country lol.
J-LO is only on her second single. It is way too early to call her flop. Going by her twitter her promo in the US is only starting up now. About time. She is a lazy so and so lol. Bruno Mars sold 55,000 albums in the first week and after his songs became hits and he started to promote his album it sold loads. JLO has been on such a low it will be harder for to pull off a Bruno.
I’m into you is moving up on radio. Her album is not shot yet. But she will flop if she continues to be a lazy ass
Do I think Jennifer Lopez should do another season of Idol, YES! Is that what her upcoming announcement is about, NO! Come find out about what her official announcement for tomorrow on ‘The Today Show’ is here:
http://number1k9.b*******.com/
HINT: It has NOTHING to do with American Idol! ! !
If you really want to know, come by, no joke-source even provided!
Come on love? Is still selling…remember Bruno mars 55,000 copies first week alright then y’all wasn’t talking when he ain’t sell but y’all talk about J.Lo!!!
She might as well. I do think that her & Steven Tyler brought so more life into the show since Simon & Paula left but I think it has also really help revive her career too. I mean, who was really thinking about JLo like that until she joined American Idol? She had pretty much fell of peoples radar. I don’t think she would be doing all these hair commercials, recording new music or even being names People’s most Beautiful Person if it wasn’t for her exposure on AI. I can’t believe she would even have to consider coming back for another season!
Honestly, when people think of JLo they think of American Idol now. She may have had success as a singer & actress back in the day, more success than what someone of her limited talent should have had, but I do think that her days of a successful actress & singer are over. I can’t remember the last time she had a hit movie and although she had some hit singles on the charts recently, her album flopped bad which proves that people really aren’t checking for her.
Honestly, anyone can have a hit now when you get a hot producer & songwriter to write you some hot catchy ish that sounds like everything else on the radio. I don’t think people consider her an actual artist & whoever her fan base was back in the day have clearly moved on to the new current pop tart with stale music. No name needed.
Returning to American Idol is her best bet to stay relevant. She better take that 12 million & call it a day.
@RIHANNA ROCKS
Sit all the way down. I can tell your IQ doesn’t measure up.
I think she should do it. Regardless the amount of money she is getting etc. I really enjoyed watching J-Lo on American Idol, her critique was great and always correct, i think made a great judge and seemed really genuine, rather than she was just there for the money or the publicity. However, if her passion is music and that’s what she wants to do she should focus on her career, but i think American Idol has done great things for her, both in her music career and popularity. GO FOR IT J-LO.
@VA STAND UP!!
What to Expect When You’re Expecting (pre-production) 2012
Holly
2012 Parker (pre-production)
2012 Ice Age: Continental Drift (filming)
Her acting career is taking off again.
@K9
Damn you definitely did have the real story. Y’all Grape Juice ain’t got the right story but @K9’s link above do^
Jlo needs 2say peace out to Idol and get her own show..Oprah has left and she would kill with her own day time talk show…
Id say the show has another 2-3 seasons left before its done. Might as well milk whats left of it
I REALLLY Hope she comes back to American Idol!!! Otherwise, I don’t know how Idol is going to stack up against “X-Factor” and “The Voice”. Especially cuz “The Voice” is starting in February, direct competition to AI
And J.LO was a legitimately great judge! 😀
But at least she has options! With all of the upcoming movies, upcoming possible tours, and upcoming shows she’s producing, she’s got hella options.
J.Lo is one smart woman. 😉
I honestly think she could have moved on. Her career has gotten as much of a boost as it could have gotten. She should just concentrate on her film career with the occasional single.
I also agree that The Voice and X Factor will be the end of Idol. I think this next season will prove that.
The MAJOR difference between JLo and Bruno Mars is:
Bruno is very talented………JLo not so much
I love Bruno but there is no comparison..Jlo’s been in the game for almost as long as Bruno’s been alive..call me when Bruno still has hits in his 40’s….
JLo’s fashion is what got her so far in the music industry, that and her looks.
Still, you have to respect that Jlo used her ass..ets to help her stay in the industry…everyone has a gimmick…Bruno is one of the few new stars that I believe will have longevity because of his talent, but Bruno has already stepped up his s** appeal in his performances…even he knows it takes more than just talent to be relevant and talked about…women have to keep wanting to ‘screw’ Bruno for his longevity…I actually like how different Bruno looks and presents himself from when he started out with Travie McCoy on Billionaire or with B.oB….Bruno is a handsome dude with moves, talent, and now s** appeal…that sh*t works..haha
@rhianna rocks
You need to kick rocks! Your fave wishes she was Janet! I can bring the quotes If you like troll!
When rhianna learns how to sing and dance as good as Janet does in her 40’s(much less J in her 20’s), let me know.
I, like Rhi, but you are a loser, and for the record, Janet left her label HO! She wasn’t dropped, so check your neck, and keep it cute!!!
Back to the topic now. I think J.Lo should stay on the show, it’s a good fit for her, and she would be making some really good bank!!
She should be a judge on american idol not because she can sing cuz if simon can be a judge and he can’t sing nor randy then jlo can too. Not a fan of hers but don’t see anything wrong with her being a judge. Don’t rly like her attitude tho.
no she should film movies she has 3 planned already wouldn’t be time it was a good platform for an introduction that J.lo is bak but move on J.Lo..rem she is a business woman as well a very successful 1 @ that
i dont think she is worth the money…..anyone could do what they do
Well if you cannot wait… http://t.co/Tl4rlFM …Read about the announcement before Jennifer announces it on The Today Show!
Idol would be a great way for Jennifer to continue her buzz, but this announcement has nothing to do with it!
Well if you cannot wait… http://t.co/Tl4rlFM …Read about the announcement before Jennifer announces it on The Today Show!
I don’t really know. Idol is more enjoyable with her as a judge and I would like to know who would be the judge if JLO isn’t. She needs to promote this album and I think she said she’s going to be doing some new movies, so I think she will not do Idol. But if she isn’t going to be a judge, then who is? The show may become really boring and get low ratings if there is no other likeable person on there.
I don’t think she should be back. She was good but she never clicked to me.
Also, with this season’s winner Idol is on its way to lose in front of better and more exciting shows like The Voice and The X Factor.
“Should J. Lo return to ‘Idol’”
OF COURSE, WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO KEEP HER RELEVANT?
Queenbey……*.side eyes*
Yes she should. The money will be good and also, it certains her a performance on what could be her ‘last single’ (when the time comes), it keeps her on the big screen and also means that her lovely personality keeps the ‘diva’ rumours down.
i say YES do it. i understand her fans may want to sugarcoat it but love? isnt puttin a dent on the charts. yeah bruno had low 1st week sales too but it’s been out for over a month. its not doin well on the charts. she had a euro promo run and hat dint have much effect either. people only seem to be interested in her singles. on the floor remained top ten for weeeks and they still play it on the radio where i live like it was released yday im into u also reached top 10 in UK
Yes, she should.
No, I don’t think she should. I’d much rather her go on tour and focus on making films. Same goes with Xtina and The Voice.
I wish people would get out of JNO’s stank, wide, dented ass! You guys are pathetic and a disgrace. How dare y’all support her on being a judge in A.I.? The b**** can’t sing and whoever said Simon and Randy can’t sing and they were judges …THEY WERE NEVER SINGERS TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH! How stupid can you be? It’s one thing to be someone who seeks talent or judges talent and another to be a singer who clearly can’t sing and tell someone he/she can’t sing or laugh when he/she sounds horrible! I hated her on the show. Having her on the show was so hypocritical and wrong. She used the show to promote her flop ass album and also, WHOEVER SAID IT’S CERTIFIED FOLD IS A DAMN LIAR! That s*** has only sold 210,000 copies in the US and 300,000 worldwide!!!!!!!!!!!!! And quit it with the Bruno Mars sold 55,000 his first week… his ass didn’t have all the promo JNO’s stank ass did! Wow, you guys are idiots and will do anything to defend your favorite “singer.” I hope she doesn’t return. And watch, “Love” is still going to flop and the movies she has lined up for next year will flop as well. It’s done and over with JNO! She has her shine in the early 00’s!
@MISFIT:
F*** u rihanna can outisng that whisperho janet everyday

@ crazy world
Go sit on a sharp spike you f****** moron! Janet mops the floor with that ho. You can try to shade Janet all you want, since 1986, every album has gone at least platinum worldwide. You fail dickweed!
25 years later she is still selling out tours world wide, repeat dates, with expensive tickets(cause she is worth it douch).
Not so much with your girl. 99 cent albums, and $10 concert tickets! People don’t want to se the stage dance, while Rhi moves like a geriatric!
So shut up, and sit down fool!
And bleating goats can’t ousting the legend that is Janet! If you that they can, take the d**** outta your ears so you can hear the truth!
Tried to keep it cute, but if u want it you can get it! Now, f*** of moron!
*out sing
*think
*off
SHE’S GOING TO DO IT, IT’S A NO BRAINER. WANNA KNOW WHY? 20 MILLION DOLLARS. SHE IS MAKING A-ROD MONEY! #DIVA
I say no because I need crazy promo for all projects and the execs at fox don’t want her going on rival networks to promote.but if she does of course i will watch because she turns every head quicker than a b**** slap with her fierceness!
