J-Lo gets fired up--literally

9:42 We’re back…Leah Remini is in the house…Ryan is going to send one back…It’s not Phil, who just smiles. He knew it…Chris goes back…BOO HISS!!!

9:43 Phil says again he’s just blessed to be here…A video of J-Lo with the Idols with more stuff than what we saw last night…

9:45 Ryan introduces J-Lo from the audience so she can make her diva entrance through the smoke…I’m impressed. She’s actually singing…The song is “Que Hiciste” in case you’re wondering…I don’t really get the point of the dancers…Maybe if I understood the words I would…Now she’s got the whole wind machine thing working…I looked down to type and missed how her dancers disappeared off the stage…That was definitely better than that Michael Buble mess last week and he was singing in English—I think…Simon liked it…Ryan gives her a big hug and then asks her about working with the contestants…J-Lo says she comes from the Paula school of judging, but we still need Simon…After the break…

And here’s the deal with the “Idol Hit List” straight from the website…

“As the judges always say, it's all about the song choice. Now the choice is yours! We're introducing the "Idol Hit List," and we need the help of your inner music critic. Select your 5 favorite songs from the top 50, listed below. Over the next week, we'll tally the votes and announce them on the show next week. Here's the best part: One of the top 50 songs will be performed by the original artist during the show! Start voting!”

Could this be the show’s way to justify the taped performances? Don’t be surprised if the song that gets performed is “Lost Without U” by Robin Thicke since they’ve already recorded that one…
