Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, and Ryan Seacrest attended a press conference in Las Vegas, NV to discuss American Idol’s newest twist. Contestants on the show will perform songs by The Beatles on the Cirque du Soleil ‘Love’ stage at The Mirage.
At the press conference, Jennifer told reporters, “It gave them an opportunity to experience singing on a real stage with a real set and a real band. It was an important step to see if they really stood out, and we got to see who are the real performers. We don’t like having to eliminate the hopefuls. It’s heartbreaking. They have to deliver every single time, and so this is fulfilling where we’re pushing them.”
Jennifer even got in on the action on Twitter, tweeting the following message:
