Music maestro, Jennifer Lopez says that the picking of three American Idol wildcards was an unpleasant and difficult process.

Stefano Langone, Naima Adedapo and Ashthon Jones were selected to move on to the competition’s next stage, by Lopez and her co panelists. The contestants had earlier failed to garner enough backing from the public.

The star described the decision as awful, tough and very hard. She admitted that even at the eleventh-hour, they really did not know who to choose.

Lopez further stated that even after announcing the winners, they were still wondering if they had done the right thing. She regretted that they might have sent somebody home who really deserved to be there.

Lopez’s show of emotion after Chris Medina was kicked out of the contest, stirred up American Idol viewers in the previous episodes of this season.
