“It takes a lot of guts to come out here and do this,” J.Lo tells hopefuls in a just-released promo of the show. “We know this. We’ve been in your position. We understand how you feel. Have fun and believe in your destiny. Just do your thing, okay?”

She is later seen telling a talented contestant, “You’re obviously capable of doing anything,” and another one whose knees are shaking, “that’s okay, baby, ’cause I liked you. There’s no reason for you to be shaking. We want you to be great.”

The new season of American Idol kicks off on January 19 and January 20.
