‘American Idol’ News: Jennifer Lopez Slow Dances With 20-Year-Old Hopeful [VIDEO]
Jennifer Lopez, 45, may have said too much on "American Idol" Wednesday night when she told fellow judges Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban that she's awesome -- the problem lies with the men she chooses.
It all started when a handsome, young contestant named Michael Simeon approached the judges' table after his audition and asked Lopez to slow dance.
Lopez accepted the invitation. Urban and Connick Jr. played Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" as she and the 20-year-old hopeful tenderly slow danced.
The "Booty" singer teased Simeon about being too gentlemanly when he offered to simply take her hand for the dance instead of fully embrace.
"I was just trying to be appropriate," Simeon said, blushing.
"But I'm OK with this," he quickly added as Lopez pulled him close, initially running her fingers through the back of his hair.
Simeon, who grew up as a farmer, had already impressed the judges with his version of the Sam Smith classic but serenaded J.Lo during the dance while Urban played guitar and Connick Jr. the piano.
"Oh thank you -- you're so sweet," Lopez said when the dance ended. "That's the most fun I've had in months."
"Lovely moment," Connick Jr. remarked when the judges took their seats at the table.
"I am a great girlfriend and wife ... I just pick the wrong [expletive] guys," Lopez declared.
Simeon, who is a Mississippi native, left clutching his golden ticket to the Hollywood rounds of the show.
Although Lopez clearly dissed the men of her past and present, it is rumored she and Casper Smart, 27, are dating again. The couple split in June 2014 after nearly three years due, in part, to rumors that Smart cheated. HollywoodLife.com reports that the pair was spotted at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for her New Year's Eve concert special, "The Best Is Yet To Come." They reportedly rang in the New Year together.
But wait... Life & Style reports that Miami rapper Pitbull, 33, has his eye on the Latina beauty. He always considered her to be his ideal type, a source told Life & Style, and he has told pals that he and J.Lo could be the next Brangelina. He's even created mash-up name: Pit-Lo.
