The 2nd episode of American Idol aired yesterday! This time, the judges were in New Orleans. As usual, there were some wacky contestants, and some truly talented ones. Jennifer had a few favorites, including Paris Tassin, who dedicated her audition to her special needs daughter. She sang Carrie Underwood’s “Temporary Home” and moved Jennifer to tears.

Another favorite was Jovany Barreto, who is a huge fan of Jennifer’s as well as her hubby, Marc Anthony. He sang well, and also made it to Hollywood, but not before removing his shirt and showing off his abs. Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson couldn’t help themselves and joined in, too.

Idol and the new judges were a hot topic of conversation on Twitter. Again, JLo hit the trending topics list!
