"I love you, like we could be girlfriends," JLo tells him before doing an impression of Harry. "He's like, 'Date Tim Tebow. Date this guy, what do you think of that guy?'"
She then turns to Keith and asks, "Are you going to try to fix me up too? Do you have anybody?" "No," he replies. "You'll be fine."
"American Idol" Season 14 premieres on Wednesday night, January 7, at 8/7c on FOX.
CEO of Big Machine Label group Scott Borchetta, who discovered Taylor Swift, will replace former mentors Randy Jackson and Jimmy Iovine in prepping the talent for each week's live show.
Season 14 will also bring back the same trio of judges from last year including Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr., and Keith Urban. Also returning is host Ryan Seacrest, who is the only mainstay since the shows initial season.
Original judge, Randy Jackson, who stayed on as a in-house mentor last season, has officially announced that he will not be returning as a mentor this year. Jackson sat with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul in the shows highest rated seasons.
"American Idol" has fallen in ratings from their glory days back in the early to mid 2000's with "The Voice" on NBC taking over as America's favorite reality singing competition. With that being the case, Idol still has millions of viewers per week and a huge platform to launch the right star.
According to Billboard magazine, in its first ten years, "Idol has spawned 345 Billboard chart-toppers and a platoon of pop idols, including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert and Jordin Sparks while remaining a TV ratings juggernaut."
