J.Lo helped The Wanted over their American Idol jitters

  • April 6, 2012
  • Mikey

The sight of Jennifer Lopez helped distract The Wanted from their American Idol appear­ance nerves last night.

Three months after their US TV debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 'lads' appeared on Idol's Thursday night results show to sing accordion euro­banger 'Glad You Came' again.

"As soon as I saw J.Lo, the nerves were just gone. It was like 'I'm nervous, I'm nervous. J.Lo! I wanna dance! I wanna sing! Marry me please," bona fide lad Siva told The Hollywood Reporter backstage.

Adding to the extreme 'banter', Max chipped in: "I gave J.Lo a kiss by the way. Once in a lifetime oppor­tun­ity. I weren't letting that go."

You can see the full per­form­ance here.
