Fox reality show American Idol 10th season has just ended crowning Scotty McCreery but there rises a question that whether Jennifer Lopez would sign up as a Judge for the next season that starts in January. The 41 year-old singing superstar has boosted ratings and attracted rave reviews since joining eight months ago.

Lopez in American Idol 10th season |
Unlike her fellow Judge Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson who signed a multi-year contract, Lopez signed only a single-year contract for a rumored $12 million. She has earned significantly less money from the show than fellow judge Steven Tyler who will return through the 11th season alongside original judge Randy Jackson. Tyler reportedly raked in $18 million for the first season alone.

"It's too early to tell," said Lopez but Fox chief Peter Rice said earlier this week "We loved having her -- the hope and expectation is she'll return." “The format is so strong,” Rice said. “Ultimately, we needed credibility in the judges. We needed them to want to be there and to be entertaining. We needed chemistry among them, and I think they gave us that in spades. It’s been a fantastic season.” Rice said that Fox and “Idol” worked hard not to replace Cowell, who departed at last season’s end, because the network knew that Cowell would return with “The X Factor” this fall. The Judging trio will be in place and we will have another American idol for 11th season.
