Aniston sings on Ellen DeGeneres show

Washington (ANI): Actress Jennifer Aniston ended up singing a few lines during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday. And the actress did impress the host of the show, who, posing as an American Idol judge, passed the 'Friends" star to the next round.

On the show, Aniston revealed that she was learning to sing and play a dobro for an upcoming film role, which gave the funny host to ask the actress to sing. "They promised me you wouldn't do this to me," People quoted Aniston, 40, as telling DeGeneres.

But despite her protests, Aniston belted out a few bars of the George Gershwin standard 'I've Got a Crush on You". And then, she retorted: "I'm absolutely mortified that you did that to me." And Ellen, who referenced her new gig as an American Idol judge, said: "I would put you through to the next round."
