The American Idol round 2 of Portland auditions took place this past Saturday and Sunday bringing the full panel of judges, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and host Ryan Seacrest to the Rose City!
Ever since the official announcement that JLo would be back for Season 12 of Idol, I have been on the edge of my seat. Things couldn’t be more perfect, My Idol in My City? Are you kidding me? The opportunity was too great to miss! – Turns out, I along with 4 lucky fans would be invited to hang out on set and share a moment with Jennifer!!
See pictures, watch press conference footage, and find all the details of our incredible experience after the jump! (more…)
The American Idol crew made their way to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Thursday to continue the audition rounds! As we teased last week on the forum, we had an amazing opportunity for a few JLove?rs in the area. After a crazy couple of days with BBers scrambling to get their schedules in order, take days off, etc. we had a final group of three. Unfortunately, quite a few others couldn’t make it, but all BBers were there with us in spirit! All the details and photos are after the jump!

Today is Jennifer’s birthday!! Of course, we had to set up a special surprise for her to wish her an amazing birthday from all of her fans!
For the past 3 weeks, we have been raising money for the Boys & Girls Club of America, which is one of Jennifer’s favorite non-profits (she is even the Co-National Spokesperson!)! Fans were invited to participate and help us reach a goal of $1,500. JLOVE?Rs are amazing, though, because we surpassed that goal and raised a grand total of $1,855!!!! If you would still like to donate, it’s not too late! Please feel free to donate here.
All of the fans who donated sent us their birthday wishes for Jennifer, and you can read them all on our special birthday page:
As most of you know, Jennifer’s birthday is coming up on July 24! We usually try to do something fun and different each year to honor Jennifer and give all the fans a chance to wish her a happy birthday. (You can read about past projects and Jennifer’s reaction to each here).
This year, we want to do something a little bit different, so we are collecting donations to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of America! Jennifer is a Co-National Spokesperson for the Club and it’s one of the charities she supports.
Jennifer got her start performing at the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in the Bronx. Without the support of the club, she might not be the Jennifer we know and love today.
We always aim high with our projects, so our goal is to raise $1,500 by Jennifer’s birthday! Please show your JLOVE? and help us wish Jennifer an amazing birthday by donating to the cause! We will forward a list of all donators and their birthday wishes to Jennifer AND everyone who donates $20 or more will automatically be entered to win a LOVE? poster hand-signed by Jennifer!!
We have created a special fundraising site on the BGCA website, and all donations will be made to them directly. We won’t see any of your personal information or hold any money at any time. Donations from anywhere in the world can be made as long as you have a credit card! Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express are accepted! The last day to donate is July 24!
