"Idol" Kids Say J.Lo Is Bitchin', Not Bitchy!

Diana Ross, Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett and Lulu (who?) can't hold a, er, note next to Jennifer Lopez -- at least in the eyes of the "American Idol" wannabes. TMZ has learned that the Idols' favorite mentor so far, has been J.Lo. Claro que si!
Jennifer Lopez
Sources with the production tell TMZ that the contestants were initially scared to meet La Lopez, based on reports of her alleged diva attitude, but after Jennifer spent time rehearsing their latin-themed numbers with them, the budding singers had nothing but praise for the singer/actress/dancer/producer/designer/jeweler/restaurateur/perfumer/three-time bride. Wepa!

We're told the "Idol" hopefuls thought Jen was "very personable," and that she gave great advice on handling the entertainment biz. Our source says Jenny from the Block kept it "real," and even sat on the floor with the contestants. Can you believe it, yo?

Who needs Grammys, when you got J.Lo style!

39. Another snoozer last night...Latin music is about dance and movement, charm and elegance as it is about the singing. Watching La'Kisha attempt "Conga" was pure horror! Melinda managed to take a lively musical genre down to the lifeless level (and I love her voice), Chris's voice is just too nasaly and whiny to the point of irritation. Haley's hanging on by a thread (the few she wears...well said Simon), Phil is Phil...hard to imagine him being an "Idol"...even Blake was somewhat sub-par...he has a terrific stage presence, but his vocals are not strong. Jordin's the sleeper in the group...would have liked to see her dance/move more with her song choice last night, but she's very likeable and as long as she doesn't blow lyrics and get caught doing something immature (like giving Ryan S. the devil horns while on camera) to tick off voters, she will make it to the end, That brings us to Sanjaya....ol' Sanjaya...Dude has figured out how to work the camera with the deer eyes and big smile. No doubt got every 12 yr. old vote in the world...but you know what?
His was one of the best performances last night!!! How bad was that show???? Maybe they ought to have Weird Al Yankovic as a guest teacher to lighten things up??? Or perhaps they could bring in "Zamphir on the Panflute" to inject some needed juice??? Prediction...Sanjaya will change his name to "Hector" and within 5 years, we'll see him schlepping guitars on the Shopping Network with Estaban!!! I'm out!!!!

40. She has so very much kindness in her "soul." Sure she does...
She just loves wearing those dead animals that have went through so much pain and hell for her.
I think she loves the idea that they gave their life for her because she thinks she's worth it, she is the Oueen..NOT
To many, many people, she has the soul and heart of the Devil.
Keep it up J.LO, you have no talent what so ever.....
Take care darling.

41. Jennifer Lopez has a gorgeous voice, and she is beautiful. All you jealous wannabe's go bury your heads in some hole.

42. Ok, I have to speak up. Please don't diminish the exquisite talent of Lulu by showing your own ignorance. I am a TMZ fan, so I say this as a "member of the family."

Clearly, you must be too young to remember Lulu, but she was - and is - a great talent. Perhaps since she wasn't a talent of your era, you do not know her. To put it in perspective, you will be a bit put off when some journalist in a few years writes something and mentions Gwen Stefani and puts a "who?" after it. No, I am not comparing the two women, that was just the first talented woman of this era who came to my mind.

Please afford Lulu the respect she deserves. Your ignorance does not mean her greatness didn't exist. Think twice before you write and determine whether you are making an accurate statement or if your statement simply shows more about your own ignorance. Lulu proved when she sang on Idol that she has not missed a step. Her voice seems to actually have gotten better.

To Sir With Love was an amazing song that she made even better. You have embarrassed yourself.

44. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than Tony Bennett, along comes J Lo... good god what a bore that whole latin music theme was...good coaching job there chica [total sarcasm intended]

45. Of course she was nice to them, she was "the star" of the week. It was all about her. Who knows what she really said once she left...
