She's still Jenny From The Block and she still cries over a good love song.

Jennifer Lopez broke down down on Thursday's audition episode of American Idol held in her hometown of New York City.

The 45-year-old singer got emotional after hearing the ballad of a homeless subway musician.

Hollywood Anderson, 22, was right on key with his emotional self-written love song.

While strumming an acoustic guitar he belted out the evocative track, leaving Lopez wiping away streams of tears and smudged mascara.

'Yo, sing it bubby,' she cried.

'I'm proud to be from The Bronx, it's who I am, I don't know anything else,' she said.

Previous Idol winner Adam Lambert, now 32, was a guest judge for the night in replace of Keith Urban.

He 'recreated his original audition' by singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

'You're so awesome it's sickening,' said J-Lo afterwards.
