celeb news After cancelling tour to focus on family, J.Lo heads to studio/working on new project

[Galah]

I know she has RedOne and Pitbull on speed dial.

[shakeyourbombom]

She has nowhere to spend another 20 million

[slimfem]

Need more Rebound's, the song and video were hits for me.

[Joyride]

ready for Ring (On the Floor)

The haters will NEVER make me hate this woman lol. 

 

Her work ethic is top tier and so is her dedication to her celebrity. 

 

Whether her marriage implodes or not, I'm almost certain this "era" of her journey will be monetized into some kind of doc, album, something. 

 

Fairly certain her Vegas thing is happening too. 

 

Sidebar: The bandwagon hate is bizarre af. I have in "real life" seen people with this revitalized hate for her and when probed on why it's either "um um um" or "I heard on TikTok..xyz". Pathetic.

It's the same as what Selena Gomez and Camila Cabello have experienced on social media. Although, J. Lo has experienced it to a larger extent. I can't put my finger on what these three have in common.

It's because people think that once a woman turns 50 they reserve the right to tell her she's discarded and done, and when they don't do as they are told and disappear then people start attacking, especially if that woman isn't behaving or dressing in a way that they deem appropriate for a woman of that age. It's happened to so many other female celebrities, J Lo is just the latest one to get this treatment.

I don't think it's due to that really. Sure there will always be some people who use her age against her but I think the reason the majority of people are not rocking with her is because:

 

- of how she's forced her relationship with Ben down everyone's throats like he's some sort of trophy prize

 

and because of social media/the viral tweets over the last few years, more people are now more aware of:

- her stealing Ashanti's vocals

- her singing the n-word

- her involvement with Diddy

- how she teamed up with Tommy Motolla to sabotage Mariah's career

Maybe that's the majority on stan Twitter but most of the comments against her online just revolve around calling her old or a flop etc, and I think the fact that she outwardly seems very resilient to criticism makes it worse

[Bloodflowers.]

Give us latin-dance bangers like On the Floor and Ain't It Funny (original) 

[ImpressMeMuch]

[Trent W]

I lowkey want her to succeed again for her to shut up those stupid and annoying tik tokers

 

Some one has to end them soon I can't stand them

[Jay L]

I like JLO and I know she works hard but canceling a tour to spend time with family and then being seen immediately after in the studio is not a good look

It's really weird and questionable to do this not even 2 days after announcing the tour cancellation for those reasons.

But really I think she needs to just slow down, she's been doing project after project and nothing is sticking. She needs to take some time out and regroup.

Basically. When you're overexposed and getting backlash for doing anything,you should lay low for a while so that people don't hear about you for while then slowly make a comeback after a year or two. But im sure right now she's so focused on proving herself to the "haters" that she can't see that, things will just get worse for her

[Frappucino]

Imagine buying a ticket and then hearing these news

 

It'd feel like Pumpkin spat on your face 

[ObsPC]

This is me... again

[spiritboy]

People hating on celebrities as if they've killed someone they love is weird as f.

[Princess Aurora]

The way I predicted this

[kayliah]

Give us a banger for summer Queen. No one cares abt a Jlo album in 2024. We want On the floors and Waiting for tonights. Stick to what youre good at and sorry her real voice sucks at rnb she cant sing that good. Stick to heavy dance produced tracks..

[Marry The Gods]

Please call tio Pitbull and record more fun dance music.

So, I'm not even a J.Lo stan in any way shape or form, but it's this kind of "one rule for some, another for others" that irks me to no end. 

 

As someone who follows R&B/Pop intensely and actually lived a lot of the era the girls are "discovering" and now weaponizing against J.Lo, let's clear up a few things:

 

1) "Stealing" Ashanti / Christina Milian Vocals: this may be the dizziest and densest one of them all. It was common practice for artists in the 90s/00s to have session singers/BVs featured prominently on their tracks. Listen to most Toni Braxton songs from that time. An entirely different person is singing the CHORUS (Tamar, btw). Same with Spanish Guitar.

 

This notion of "stealing" is so a**-backwards when a) the artists involved have never publicly dragged her about it and b) how can anyone steal something the artist/BV agreed to.

 

2) N-Word: As a Black person, I'm down with her getting lashed for this. I have never EVER gotten the "pass" adjacent races get for using a word that they have no historical affiliation or affliction attached to. At the same time, we need to keep that same energy with everyone e.g. Fat Joe and a lot of non-Black rappers. Hell, I have the same problem Kendrick has with the likes of Drake using it too. But that's another convo for another day.

 

3) Diddy Involvement: Ridiculous. By this logic, most of the industry deserves a side-eye. Diddy is trash and is current getting his, but he's also not R. Kelly where so many stood bye and stood blind to the scale of his evils. Again, making any kind of connection to Diddy as a jab to J.Lo is objectively stupid (by dictionary definition). 

 

4) Mariah/Tommy: this one is complicated. As a Lamb, there was definitely an agenda on Tommy's part. But has anyone ever rationalized that Jenny may have simply been a pawn (albeit a complicit one) in someone else's game? Someone wielding way more power than any other person in the equation?

 

I always approach even scandalous scenarios from the perspective of "what would I do if I were x person". With this mindset, the reality is that "a" J.Lo in that drama almost certainly didn't have the power or autonomy some of y'all think she had. 

 

More than anything, the "sudden" backlash reminds that a lot of people - sorry to say - move like sheep and simply follow the herd when logic presents itself with a little applied thought. 

 

I don't think Jenny is an angel, but a lot of critique is pretty dumb.
