J.Lo Is Furious That 'Idol' Is All About Steven Tyler

Who predicted 'American Idol' would be in deep trouble without Simon Cowell at the helm? Me, you, everybody, that is until Steven Tyler stepped up to breathe new life into the decade-old series, thrilling just about everyone -- save for Miss
Jennifer Lopez.
"This was meant to be Jennifer's big comeback," an insider complains to me. "The entire re-branding of the show was built around her, but now it's all about Steven 24/7."
While Jennifer's the one normally lavished with attention, I'm hearing she's getting annoyed with all the people asking her about the Aerosmith legend.
Snarked my source: "She's mystified at how this happened and has made it very clear to the producers that the cameras need to spend a little more time adoring Jennifer's favorite idol -- herself!"
And although it may be a little too soon for 'Idol' to be congratulating themselves on another season well done, the doom and gloom theories that this would be the show's last year on the air are all but silenced.
"The show has experienced year-to-year declines of about 10 percent for the last several seasons now, so everyone expected ratings to drop," a TV insider tells me. "The only question was how much they drop. And although the show did drop, it still produced huge numbers easily beating all its competition. Last week's episode was actually up from last Thursday's episode by nearly 18 percent, and was down only 9 percent from the equivalent episode last year."
At the end of the day, it's shaping up that Steven has saved this show. Word of mouth about him and the quality of singers is getting stronger and stronger ever week, and so far he's even managed to get us to forget the departure of Simon Cowell. Sorry, Jennifer, we still miss Paula.

She's far from a has been idiot!
J-LO, it's a joke that you are judging "talent" when you can't even sing. Steven Tyler is a legend, can ACTUALLY SING, has quality HITS from AEROSMITH to back it up, has been around for decades, and didn't get to where he is because of a big butt. Get over yourself, Jenny.

AMEN! I have always loved Steven and his 'poems'! But after seeing him speak to the young woman in the wheelchair- well, now he's my God. I also loved how he told JLo it's Steven not Steve and then he told Randy not to tell someone they're bad. He is AWESOME!!!
Yep totally agree.. I thought the show needed Simon's gruff honesty and then I watched the show and realized I really didn't have always liked Aerosmith.. and STEVEN Tyler.. think he's is doing great, the only thing is he did seem a bit lecherous staring at the 16 yo with the short dress .. he needs to cut that out.. J. Lo is just a Paula clone which the show needed anyway.. I like the show.. and stop doggin' Randy.. the show needed continuation.. though after this year he can go lol.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE STEPHEN TYLER, SO GET OVER IT JENN, YOU ARE NOTHING, CAN'T SING, ACT, ETC. SO LOVE HIME OR LEAVE!!!
AMEN !!!
I'm not a singer either but I can tell who has talent when I see it. I think this show is going to be a winner with all three of them judging. J Lo has no reason to be jealous. This could all be rumors anyhow.
I agree jennifer should get over herself and if they get rid of steven tylor or randy i wont watch anymore ,there both great As far as simon hey he left so be it ..life goes on.
Hahaha, yeah, you got it right! She is just J-Ho, Steven is a legend and much much better looking too! He's paid his dues, she cant even charge hers!
Hmmmm, Steven Tyler had hits from Aerosmith. So Steven Tyler doesn't have any hits per se, Aerosmith, as a group has hits. I don't see any singles out by you lengend in his own mind Mr. Tyler. Maybe because he can't sing. All I hear him doing on the show is screeching. Jennifer has how many solo hit albums out? Can't count them all can you?
Don't forget Sam, a big fake butt
I want to look like stephen. Can anyone give me his face job doctors name? I think stephen should sue him. But then again, I wonder whathe looked like BEFORE the face job.
You think Steven Tyler's can sing? You need to get your head examined. Steven's voice is hideous and sounds like crap!! He sounds like a screaming little girl -- he's also short and ugly. J Lo may not the best singer but neither is Steven Tyler!!! You need to get over it SAM!!!
Who wouldn't like that face a face only a mother would like. Jennifer needs to get over herself.
I would rather see Steven Tyler than that arrogant Simon Cowell. Everyone seems happy now that Simon Cowell is no longer there. I felt sorry for those kids who had to audition for Simon Cowell. i bet he wouldn't treat people like that in his country only in America can he get away with that.
Really? Play the same tune, put somewhat different lyrics to the music, and you're a legend? Everclear must be in the same category of legendariness...
No. Tyler can't sing. He sold albums because everyone buying them were as high as he was. And he is dog ugly. I am not a Lopez fan, but I would sure rather look at her than him.
I actually like it this season. I like Steven and I like Jennifer. I think they should of made a clean sweep and brought in all new faces. Hope it shapes up to a good season of talented singers.
