"American Idol" contestant Samuel Prince mistakenly called the show's judge Harry Connick Jr. as Henry.
Prince from Puerto Rico also called Jennifer Lopez as his country's "queen" and mentioned that Connick is the "king." The contestant referred to Connick as Henry when he invited the three judges to act out a telenovela scene with him.
In the acting scene, Prince played Lopez's lover while Connick and Keith Urban chatted with the "Let's get loud" singer. Prince pretended to be devastated upon catching Lopez with the two other guys and delivered his dialogue in Puerto Rican.
The highlight of the acting sequence was Lopez's reaction after Prince delivered his dramatic scene. Lopez fake-slapped the contestant after he said his dialogue. The judges laughed and went back to their table while Prince proceeded to sing his audition piece "As Long As You Love Me" by Justin Bieber.
Due to the judges' busy lifestyle for "American Idol," Connick previously revealed that he is going through "sleep eating." The musician said that he has a weird food problem and he even ate a "bag of popcorn with sugar on top," which Lopez referred to as Kettle corn.
Connick claimed that he ate the whole bag since when he woke up it was empty. The weird part is he does not remember eating it. Fellow judge Urban laughed at his friend's confession.
Aside from his eating struggles, Connick talked about his observations during auditions. The judge noticed that the integration of technology in making music was highly evident in the younger generation, and he wanted to see more original musicians, according to Variety.
The musician added that most of the young people are easily influenced by any factor such as new artists or trends. Nowadays, there is scarcity of raw talent and pure music. Connick set their New Orleans audition as an example and said that there were many contestants but no one had "indigenous" music.
Watch the three judges select contestants for "American Idol" every Wednesday and Thursday at 8/7C on FOX channel.
