Jennifer Lopez Not Returning to American Idol?

It was just a couple of weeks ago that Randy Jackson assured us that all of the judges, himself, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez were to return for next season. Jennifer Lopez, however, is not so sure.

Jennifer Lopez was a big hit with fans this last season on American Idol.  She brought a certain amount of knowledge and stardom that the show had been lacking since Paula Abdul was abruptly asked to not return two seasons ago.  While Randy Jackson stated recently that all three judges would be back, it looks like he might have been lying to America.  Jennifer Lopez may in fact NOT return.

When asked yesterday if she were going to return to the AI panel next season, J-Lo could not confirm. Mind you, she didn’t just flat out say no, but she is apprehensive to say the least.  “I’m very, kind of on the fence about it. I had an amazing time doing it and I loved it, but I have a lot of other things happening and it’s going to come down to making a choice of…what I want to do for the next year,” she said. So Ms. Lopez didn’t completely blow it off, but she wasn’t a 100% yes as Randy had proclaimed.

What do you think? Would you miss her on the judging panel if she were to bow out? Let us know below!
