Jennifer Lopez Chokes Back Tears On American Idol

Jennifer Lopez is quickly washing away her former reputation as a diva with her sensitivity on American Idol. During last night’s show, she was faced with the challenge of sending contestant Chris Medina home.

Medina gained notoriety when he brought his wheelchair-bound wife (who suffers from a brain injury) into the auditions. But ultimately it was on Lopez to explain that in the end it was about the music, and it was time for Medina to go home.
