"I can't do this anymore, " said Jennifer Lopez as she wept, while voting to kick off Chris Medina. This is all new to me," the singer explained to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Thursday, according to People Magazine. "I'm used to having a script in a movie, or a big performance with a cane and a microphone, and I have all kinds of stuff going on ... You're [not always] getting me."
Looks like it's all-out drama in the newest season of American Idol. I've got nothing against it, but I think they should have a judge with balls much like Simon Cowell. It takes a lot of guts and a lot of confidence to be able to boot someone out and say to their face that they won't make it. And sometimes some people just can't handle it. It's too bad that Jennifer Lopez is having a hard time. I think she's a great artist and can probably spot a star when she sees/ hears it better than previous judges, but if the pressure is just affecting her like that maybe this isn't the job for her - right?
American Idol is also quite the heart wrencher, bringing in all these sensational stories about people's past. Of course people will be vulnerable to seeing someone physically disabled or have someone in their life who's sick. The great back stories are being put way up front and can cloud people's judgement on who really has talent.
