Jennifer Lopez may have told Ryan Seacrest Friday that she was quitting American Idol to focus on her music and film career, but on Sunday she revealed another factor that played heavily into her decision to leave the singing competition after just two years: the departure of her co-judge, Steven Tyler. “We had magic,” Lopez told ABC News about the Aerosmith frontman. “I don’t know, with him gone, it might be a different formula.” The singer and actress, who is preparing for a North American concert tour with Enrique Iglesias, also had some suggestions for who could be Idol’s next judges: “I think like Bono or Bon Jovi or Mick Jagger. You know me, I think big.”
