Lopez said she took her career-boosting stint on “American Idol” against advice from those close to her.
“Ill do things that could be risky because I believe that theyre going to turn out okay.
It really comes down to, what do I think I can bring to something?

“And I was just like, ‘No.
I dont think thats whats going to happen.
I think I have something to contribute,'” she remembered.

Its the same thing when I went to Vegas.
They were like, ‘Thats where entertainers go to die.’
And I was like, ‘No.’
And it launched me into a whole new part of my life.”
