The newbies on the panel this year, J.Lo and Connick Jr., explained their road to (and back) to the judging table. It was actually a difficult decision because I had a lot of stuff going on, the 44-year old Latina told Ellen DeGeneres. It was going to be hard to fit it in. But, to be really honest, I just love the show and I love working with the singers. And even though she is the only lady at the judging table, J.Lo said that it feels like family working with the team. And, this (pointing to Keith and Harry) is working really great, she explained. So yeah, were having a great time. At the end of the day, everything thats meant to be happens.
