(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Steven Tyler says Jennifer Lopez is ridiculously street.

The two singing stars were unveiled as the new judges on American Idol earlier this year, joining Randy Jackson on the panel. The pair have been getting on well, with Steven admitting he always knew Jennifer would steal the show. He is in awe of how personable she is, and how she manages to put everyone around her at ease.

First and foremost, she's a lady and she's not afraid to show that at any given time, he explained. She's ridiculous. You know, she's exactly what I thought she'd be. She's street.

Jennifer tries her best to be honest with all the hopefuls on the singing talent contest, and Steven is keen to follow her lead. However, he finds it hard when hes faced with someone who isnt quite up to scratch, as he cant bear to shatter young peoples dreams.

It's hard when you have a kid who is 15-years-old, who's been watching American Idol for the last ten years, he told Us Magazine. And some of them were awful. I just say something like, 'Did you bump your head on the way in?'

I'm really not one for giving insults. They have a voice and I don't want them not singing to their kids when they grow up.

Steven and Jennifer joined the show following the departures of Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi. Simon left in order to bring UK programme The X Factor to America, while Ellen decided to step aside after one season as she found it difficult to judge other people.

Kara simply felt the time was right to pursue different projects. (C) Cover Media
