@@dianariverjackson5123No. She said in an interview it would have been nice if she did the singing but Selena's dad sold the film to WB on the condition that Selena's singing voice be used. To JLo it's all about JLo.
Not just for JLo, a lot of people are starting to dis like celebrities who couldn’t care less about the people who made them rich. We are in a financial crisis people can’t afford their homes/apartments . We collectively don’t have time for all these celebrities. So their downfall isn’t gonna keep them from eating or a roof over their heads.
JLo didn't have any financial insecurity growing up. She grew up in a well to do neighborhood in the Bronx despite what shes trying to portray. She wwnt to private school and her mom who was a teacher won the lottery.
Her mom won the lottery after Jennifer became famous. And you're right, she did grow up in a nice neighborhood. I grew up in the Bronx, but not in as nice a section of town that they did. I was offended, though, for her parents, that she would imply that the area she grew up in was not in the best part of town, as if she came from the hood. Not so!
Well, let's not exaggerate the other way....she did not grow up in "well to do" neighborhood! She grew up in a nice working class neighborhood w/hard working parents who were able to put her & her sisters thru Catholic school
10:23 She grew up comfortably, she wen to a private school where Tuition was 30k.year, and her mother won the lottery. She never struggled financially.

Marc Anthony was her ex before Affleck, hence how she ended up marrying him so fast after the Affleck wedding was called off. She also did a heist movie with George Clooney, "Out of Sight" in 1998 and she was really good in that.
Oh okay, I assumed at the time Marc Anthony was publicity marriage because at the time people had the kind of skepticism like they did about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

There's a lot to criticize Jennifer Lopez on but just in her defense with the newborn photos ...celebs are followed everywhere especially more so back in the day ...if someone is gonna make money of photos of her newborns at least its on her terms and she gets a cut of that instead of strangers ...reminds me of how britney spears was harassed when her babies were young ...and paps made thousands if not millions on those pics
Exactly. Brangelina did the same thing (except they donated the proceeds), because there's a point where you have to accept the inevitable and figure out where you can exercise your autonomy in it.
Agree, no reason to criticize her for maintaining control of the media around the birth of her own children. Always thought it was odd that folks reacted to that how they did. Outside of that though, Jlo is ridiculous. lol
Plus at this point it seems utterly ridiculous to criticize her for monetizing something these days parents everywhere kind of do for free at this point thanks to social media.
I’m surprised to hear she was criticized for that back then. I assumed it was sort of the norm. Lots of celebs would debut their newborns on tabloid covers.
The part i find funny is that no matter how much money she has, if shes not in the limelight it will mean nothing to her. Thats how massive her ego is, she has to be being worshipped and adored always AND be rich for it. I'm glad people are finally getting fed up with celebrities and their nonsense.

Social media has killed the mystique of celebrities and has taken away the whole Hollywood glamour image for me making them less interesting. The world is also oversaturated with celebrities. When I was a kid, I remember that there were like a dozen really huge movie stars, and now everyone seems to be famous. Add the fact that we've found out- and continue to find out- that so many of the celebrities who we adored and idolized are completely problematic, racist, misogynistic, assh0les, and yeah, celebrities are not as appealing these days.
Stop trying to lump racism and misogyny together. You can be racist and not be a misogynist and vice versa. Plenty of BM are misogynist. Just listen to rap lyrics.
Jennifer Lopez is (imo) the absolute definition of average in everything she has done: Singing: C- Acting:C- Dancing: B- Looks: B Personality/likability: F “Luck”: A+ Overall GPA: C-
damn dude, you’re going straight to a D? Not even just below average at a C- ? Also, it absolutely does average to a C- 1.7 + 1.7 + 2.7 + 3 + 0 + 4 = 13.1 13.1/6 = 2.18 which is a C- Your burn: C
I was laughing at the Kohl’s clothing line and the discourse about middle aged women thinking they’re J. Lo when I realized I actually bought like two tops from her brand a few years ago… and they are actually pretty cute 🙈 i bought them at 25 years old and had NO idea they were J. Lo 😂
Olive oil? ... just wait for her real beauty treatment coming out to light. This woman deserves Jailtime not just because of her Diddy situation, trust me.
I worked with backup dancers from one of her movies and she sounds like the meanest person, I also heard that she doesn't speak to her housekeepers and makes her assistant speak to them for her, kinda seems like karmaaaa
Gigli is pronounced Geelee. That and the flippant dismissal of In Living Color as just some “sketch comedy show” really showed how young you are and your misunderstanding of the cultural moment JLo came out of.
Really interesting thing is that you are so right about J Lo doing things for social credit because she often do something that loses her a ton of it! I'm pretty sure it was in 2002 when she did Jenny from the block that she steadily started losing any credit in the black community. You can see that she really starts to diversify what she does after that because she has NEVER gotten any of that good will to the black community back!
After she got with Ben Affleck she disassociated from the blk community. It was always just a means to an end for her. She always wanted to be "mainstream". Which means she wanted to appeal more to WP
Im not American assuming the shop her brand dropped in is Kohls(spelling?) but in my country we have a nationwide chain called Coles and it's a low budget supermarket lol so that's what my mind immediately went to and i was confused for a minute
Yeah, you spelled it right, I think. I never go there because it sucks. I think any store from the 80s with a K in the name is on its way to the chopping block. Shopko, Kmart, and now Khols(Kohls?). Everything there is overpriced, and they have "Khols(Kohls?) Cash(Kash?)" which can get you "free" stuff, but the discounts from the rewards points are maybe just enough to make up for their outrageous prices.
She is partially responsible for the death of Tik toker Kyle Marisa Roth. J.Lo needs to be a better human being and start treating servers, drivers, and hospitality workers better. She is know to get upset if they talk or look at her.
Her time has come and gone. She needs to accept it. She keeps trying to recreate 2005. She just doesn't appeal to younger generations. In the post MeToo world she's seen as something of a relic from times gone by. She needs constant validation from men and jumps from relationship to relationship and that doesn't appeal to Gen Z. You left out a few of her relationships. She dated Wesley Snipes before Diddy and she dated Bradley Cooper before Casper Smart. She cheated on her husband Chris with Ben. She uses relationships as a way to get media attention. Its not ",giggly". It's JEE-lee
So people have come forward explaining that she actually grew up in wealth and had to fake being poor from the Bronx so that she could have a hip-hop career because in hip-hop nobody would take you seriously unless you had a struggle. I don’t know why she had to do that, because her songs were just really a step away from Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, she didn’t have to do the hip-hop thing she could’ve just been a popstar. But the industry was weird back then and everyone insisted that people do things the way the record companies insisted on. Which is one reason why I’m glad the wrecker companies fell. I actually like that people come out of UA-cam and TikTok now with music careers. Because even if they’re stupid moves at least they are their own stupid moves. What I would like from J Lo is to just admit that she was being a puppet and trying to have a career.
Grew up in wealth? Not even. She did grow up in a nice neighborhood in the Bronx, nicer than the one I grew up in. I was offended, though, for her parents, that she would imply that the area she grew up in was not in the best part of town, as if she came from the hood. It would have been nice if we had grown up in the neighborhood the Lopez's did, but we just didn't have it like that back in the day. Jennifer's version of what it was really like growing up is off-the-chain delusional and insulting to her parents!
People do this all the time in Hollywood. People want to seem more commendable rather than the truth which is they had access to money and connections or were nepo babies. But yeah anyway they try to make up for it by acting like they’ve had struggles to prove to the public they’re human or something
@@tylerbenderr I only knew that because they played those trailers and TV spots for like months leading up to it's release. Like that studio hilariously overestimated how not sick of hearing about JLO and Affleck people were going to be.
Unfortunately for her we’re in an era where celebrities just aren’t followed and admired as they once were and anything negative will be highlighted on social media where a career can be ruined in a week. Its not just her of course, but people are tired of stars only interacting with fans when they’re trying to sell or promote something,
FYI, I have never used, and will never use, Botox and I’m the same age as Jlo. Lasers, boosters, hydrafacials, microneedling, chemical peels… I do all that. But I’m sure someone like you wouldn’t believe me if I said I didn’t use Botox. There are other methods.
I mean, just because you haven’t doesn’t mean she hasn’t. But I actually don’t think she has. In the photos of her from the Met Gala, you can see lines and other things that Botox would erase. My mom is 61 and half Korean and half Puerto Rican. Their skin just ages differently 🤷🏻♀️ My mom has never had lasers or boosters or hydrafacials or anything like that other than the simple facials we’ve gotten at the Korean bathhouse which we don’t even go to very often. She’s just now showing signs of aging, but there aren’t any wrinkles, just sagging. I think JLo might just have good skin.
She’s history. Since the release of that documentary-debacle she has lost 1 million followers on IG. In all truth, being Diddy’s accomplice probably helped. BTW, that green Versace was butt ugly. It was the amount of exposure that made everybody gasp. It made her the queen of the naked dresses, a title which she wears until this very day.
I honestly believe she's super famous because 1.) She was introduced by and to the black community 2.) Her Latin fans 3.) She's an incredible business woman with good looks. In MY opinion.
I think a JLo reboot/resurgence would only happen for a select number of reasons: 1.) She does something to get herself cancelled/memed to oblivion- again. 2.) Something happens with her and Ben Affleck's relationship- probably either a break up or a baby. 3.) She gets a role in an actually good movie that is well liked and well received- a la Hustlers. 4.) She goes to therapy and later comes out with a candid and *brutally honest* statement (or maybe a book idk) talking about why she is the way she is. The last one is probably (unfortunately) the least likely to happen imo.
JLo is playing by 90’s and early 20’s rules where your image is basically the thing that gets people’s attention. Let’s not forget how highly manufactured that era is. It’s a couple decades now and that is not how the game is played anymore.

I was such a fan but hearing that she didn't sing anything and knew all along that Shyne is innocent while he served 15 yrs in prison is reprehensible. Sickening.
Thank you, Tyler Bender, love the content and research of this essay. Her best movies were "U-Turn", "Out of Sight", "Angel Eyes", crazy stuff. She was great. Unfortunately, she won't stick to movies. She needs to some philanthropy for sure.
I remember she was also pregnant with twins when she was in the middle of dropping the Brave Album - so I think that had something to do with the ok success of that album. She only really promoted a couple of songs from the album for instance ‘Doing it well’. She’s had some incredible songs and incredible movies all throughout her career. Her worth ethic is unbelievable, but it seems as if the lack of credit that she’s failed to give to singers who sang a lot of her songs is what created her massive current crisis along with how she treats her fans/service workers/staff. With Casper she nicknamed him Bo. She has done great but she defo did some things that seems as if she was willing to do anything for success even if it means trampling on others - which has affected her brand.
Watching Ben crumble infront of the camera followed by JLow hobbling around with an umbrella is the most embarrassing, entertaining thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂
I love how most of JLo’s film roles before Selena are all ignored. She had some bit parts in movies, not totally great, but not worth leaving out. She was in a movie with Robin Williams called “Jack”, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. She was in a pretty solid neon noir with jack Nicholson called “Blood and Wine.” Then, after Selena, she was in “U-Turn” directed by Oliver Stone, “Anaconda” and the very popular “Out of Sight.” The films before Out of Sight were of mixed reviews so I guess that’s why they’re not being brought up.
I actually saw Second Act and liked it at the time. But it's so ironic to me that she launched a beauty line selling olive oil as the secret.... WHEN THAT'S BASICALLY A PLOT POINT OF THE MOVIE 😂
Girl im sorry , but you need to make sure your titles and names are right if you are going to make a video slamming another person, a woman at that. This is trash journalism
Unfortunately this is it for her there are other people on the stage now she had her moment. By the way this was such a great presentation and your candid delivery is so on point 👏🔥
I wonder will they re open case of the shooting in the club in 1999 P Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were in the club and 3 people were shot. The young women that was shot in the face has been saying P Diddy did it since 1999. Will this case be re opened and the truth finally come out? How the gun got into the club? Will P Diddy be charged for the shooting? Shyne went to jail for 10 years for crimes he did not commit! 💔💔💔
JLow is a horrible person. Stealing Ben’s generous tips to waitresses and blackjack dealers is just so gross, as is sharing his love letters with her employees. She’s so disgusting.
Casper the backup dancer was accused of dating trans women. That’s why JLo broke up with him. I don’t care who Casper dates but at the time, people still had regressive ideas, so it was a slap in her face that he would date a trans person. I’m the same age as JLo, so I’ve seen the JLo show from the front row. I have already made my popcorn for the post Ben excuses as to why they didn’t make it.
She’s a good singer, dancer, actor and business woman. I think it’s just the “Ursula era” (stealing voices), being rude to fans and making high demands on talk shows that give her a bad rep.
Just as a side nitpick, the movie is pronounced “G-Li”. The second G is silent. We couldn’t figure it out back in the day either haha As someone alive when that movie came out, the hype train was absolutely ridiculous for this terrible ass film (and it was so bad, I recommend looking up the Cinematic Excrement channel’s review) and was tied into their relationship to. The day the movie was released, J Lo calls off the engagement and I was glad that _Entertainment Tonight_ went back to covering other stories. They’re also the reason why we now do portmanteaus for celeb couples as well as fandom shipping, so there’s also that. 😂
Millennial here. I was a fan of J.lo. I’ve watched almost all her movies, bought records, her products, went to her concert (the one with Marc Anthony, she was preggos then). I cannot and will not defend her on this one though. So out of touch from reality. I realized throughout the years how problematic she is. Sorry J.Lo,
I think that Jennifer Lopez should go to Mexico and do Telenovelas . They are one of the largest producers of telenovelas . Whether they can Act, Sing, or none of the above, everyone is welcomed there She can learn Spanish and maybe bond with her fellow Latinos. She'll fit right in.

She also didn't really sing the music that she claims as hers. She's the millie vanillie of Latinas.

Social media has killed the mystique of celebrities and has taken away the whole Hollywood glamour image for me making them less interesting. The world is also oversaturated with celebrities. When I was a kid, I remember that there were like a dozen really huge movie stars, and now everyone seems to be famous.
Add the fact that we've found out- and continue to find out- that so many of the celebrities who we adored and idolized are completely problematic, racist, misogynistic, assh0les, and yeah, celebrities are not as appealing these days.
So true. I watched because I thought something terrible happened to JLo.
But it’s just another UA-camr dissecting people’s lives. it’s all so boring
Which celebs are racist??
You just made that up.
Stop trying to lump racism and misogyny together. You can be racist and not be a misogynist and vice versa.
Plenty of BM are misogynist. Just listen to rap lyrics.
Shakira! Not Madonna that Jennifer did the Super Bowl with.
Calm down.
Girl hearing you describe THE Fly Girls as "just women's ensemble basically" hurt my soul 😂
Exactly. She has no idea what she's talking about. None.
Explain why
Jennifer Lopez is (imo) the absolute definition of average in everything she has done:
Singing: C-
Acting:C-
Dancing: B-
Looks: B
Personality/likability: F
“Luck”: A+
Overall GPA: C-
That doesn’t average to a C-.
Overall grade of your post: D
damn dude, you’re going straight to a D? Not even just below average at a C- ?
Also, it absolutely does average to a C-
1.7 + 1.7 + 2.7 + 3 + 0 + 4 = 13.1
13.1/6 = 2.18 which is a C-
Your burn: C
Acting: B-
Dancing: B
@@At76812imo she's best at light fluffy rom coms. Shes not that great a dancer imo. She's very stiff

I was laughing at the Kohl’s clothing line and the discourse about middle aged women thinking they’re J. Lo when I realized I actually bought like two tops from her brand a few years ago… and they are actually pretty cute 🙈 i bought them at 25 years old and had NO idea they were J. Lo 😂
Olive oil? ... just wait for her real beauty treatment coming out to light. This woman deserves Jailtime not just because of her Diddy situation, trust me.

@@nildabridgeman8104it’s probably that and filters on every image of her ever. Look up unfiltered photos of her, she doesn’t look young.
I worked with backup dancers from one of her movies and she sounds like the meanest person, I also heard that she doesn't speak to her housekeepers and makes her assistant speak to them for her, kinda seems like karmaaaa
Give an actual example
ALSO in all this videos people forget to mention that she was married when she started to date Ben Affleck, he was an affair
@Antonia_801 I KNOW that was a big scandal
And she was married to her 1st husband when she fooled with Puff daddy. P-daddy was helping her music career.
@@MNcoquicoqui I know!!!
Gigli is pronounced Geelee. That and the flippant dismissal of In Living Color as just some “sketch comedy show” really showed how young you are and your misunderstanding of the cultural moment JLo came out of.
True, but she was a dancer on it… Nobody even knew her
Right 🥲 I’ve never felt more old lol In living color was a launchpad for so many people
@@EB-gt1pqshe was one of the most popular Fly Girls.
And she called it "Live In Living Color" 🤦
The way you pronounce Gigli is killing me 😂 sweet summer child.
Dying, dying.
It's horrible 🤦
J lo did not do a half time with Madonna 11:05
That was MIA who perfromed
Really interesting thing is that you are so right about J Lo doing things for social credit because she often do something that loses her a ton of it! I'm pretty sure it was in 2002 when she did Jenny from the block that she steadily started losing any credit in the black community.
You can see that she really starts to diversify what she does after that because she has NEVER gotten any of that good will to the black community back!
After she got with Ben Affleck she disassociated from the blk community. It was always just a means to an end for her. She always wanted to be "mainstream". Which means she wanted to appeal more to WP
JLO should have listened to Jane Fonda about doing this movie 🎥 being in love with Ben Affleck .
Im not American assuming the shop her brand dropped in is Kohls(spelling?) but in my country we have a nationwide chain called Coles and it's a low budget supermarket lol so that's what my mind immediately went to and i was confused for a minute
Yeah, you spelled it right, I think. I never go there because it sucks. I think any store from the 80s with a K in the name is on its way to the chopping block. Shopko, Kmart, and now Khols(Kohls?). Everything there is overpriced, and they have "Khols(Kohls?) Cash(Kash?)" which can get you "free" stuff, but the discounts from the rewards points are maybe just enough to make up for their outrageous prices.
@@sophiedowney1077 I have nothing to add, I just love your commitment to spelling Kohl's both ways every single time you mention it 😂😂
JLo was at Madonna's Super Bowl show....? Girl, please get off wikipedia
She is partially responsible for the death of Tik toker Kyle Marisa Roth. J.Lo needs to be a better human being and start treating servers, drivers, and hospitality workers better. She is know to get upset if they talk or look at her.
How is responsible? Any evidence or proof?
I honestly didn’t realize she was dropping random music this whole time.
I was hoping you were gonna talk about the Diddy situation
Very interesting how you laid this out and so well spoken! I stopped watching American Idol when she came on, I just couldn't take her fakery.
JLo is done for life with Millennials…She’s unredeemable.
Irredeemable ❤️
Her time has come and gone. She needs to accept it. She keeps trying to recreate 2005. She just doesn't appeal to younger generations.
In the post MeToo world she's seen as something of a relic from times gone by. She needs constant validation from men and jumps from relationship to relationship and that doesn't appeal to Gen Z.
You left out a few of her relationships. She dated Wesley Snipes before Diddy and she dated Bradley Cooper before Casper Smart. She cheated on her husband Chris with Ben. She uses relationships as a way to get media attention.
Its not ",giggly".
It's JEE-lee
So people have come forward explaining that she actually grew up in wealth and had to fake being poor from the Bronx so that she could have a hip-hop career because in hip-hop nobody would take you seriously unless you had a struggle. I don’t know why she had to do that, because her songs were just really a step away from Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, she didn’t have to do the hip-hop thing she could’ve just been a popstar. But the industry was weird back then and everyone insisted that people do things the way the record companies insisted on. Which is one reason why I’m glad the wrecker companies fell. I actually like that people come out of UA-cam and TikTok now with music careers. Because even if they’re stupid moves at least they are their own stupid moves. What I would like from J Lo is to just admit that she was being a puppet and trying to have a career.
Grew up in wealth? Not even. She did grow up in a nice neighborhood in the Bronx, nicer than the one I grew up in. I was offended, though, for her parents, that she would imply that the area she grew up in was not in the best part of town, as if she came from the hood. It would have been nice if we had grown up in the neighborhood the Lopez's did, but we just didn't have it like that back in the day. Jennifer's version of what it was really like growing up is off-the-chain delusional and insulting to her parents!
People do this all the time in Hollywood. People want to seem more commendable rather than the truth which is they had access to money and connections or were nepo babies. But yeah anyway they try to make up for it by acting like they’ve had struggles to prove to the public they’re human or something
Jlo is my uncles neighbor and her dog got out once, so she sent her security guard to go get him.
Thats the closest to an a lister ive ever been
The movie Gigli is pronounced GEE-LEE in English. I believe it’s Italian so I understand the mistake.
Lmaoooo I’m so embarrassed
Yes and with a G like George not G like Gear.
@@tylerbenderr Don’t be! The only reason I know how it’s pronounced is from all the jokes people made about it when it came out when I was a kid 😆
@@Welgeldiguniekalias Yeah, “gee” like the letter G.
@@tylerbenderr I only knew that because they played those trailers and TV spots for like months leading up to it's release. Like that studio hilariously overestimated how not sick of hearing about JLO and Affleck people were going to be.
Unfortunately for her we’re in an era where celebrities just aren’t followed and admired as they once were and anything negative will be highlighted on social media where a career can be ruined in a week. Its not just her of course, but people are tired of stars only interacting with fans when they’re trying to sell or promote something,
FYI, I have never used, and will never use, Botox and I’m the same age as Jlo. Lasers, boosters, hydrafacials, microneedling, chemical peels… I do all that. But I’m sure someone like you wouldn’t believe me if I said I didn’t use Botox. There are other methods.
Like photoshop?
I mean, just because you haven’t doesn’t mean she hasn’t. But I actually don’t think she has. In the photos of her from the Met Gala, you can see lines and other things that Botox would erase. My mom is 61 and half Korean and half Puerto Rican. Their skin just ages differently 🤷🏻♀️ My mom has never had lasers or boosters or hydrafacials or anything like that other than the simple facials we’ve gotten at the Korean bathhouse which we don’t even go to very often. She’s just now showing signs of aging, but there aren’t any wrinkles, just sagging. I think JLo might just have good skin.
She’s history. Since the release of that documentary-debacle she has lost 1 million followers on IG. In all truth, being Diddy’s accomplice probably helped. BTW, that green Versace was butt ugly. It was the amount of exposure that made everybody gasp. It made her the queen of the naked dresses, a title which she wears until this very day.
And still has 252 million lol
17:31 she... and Shakira. A huge part of that spike is thanks to her.
I honestly believe she's super famous because 1.) She was introduced by and to the black community 2.) Her Latin fans 3.) She's an incredible business woman with good looks.
In MY opinion.
She actually has very few Latino fans; I think the only ones who tolerate her are fellow Puerto Ricans.
I think a JLo reboot/resurgence would only happen for a select number of reasons:
1.) She does something to get herself cancelled/memed to oblivion- again.
2.) Something happens with her and Ben Affleck's relationship- probably either a break up or a baby.
3.) She gets a role in an actually good movie that is well liked and well received- a la Hustlers.
4.) She goes to therapy and later comes out with a candid and *brutally honest* statement (or maybe a book idk) talking about why she is the way she is.
The last one is probably (unfortunately) the least likely to happen imo.
JLo is playing by 90’s and early 20’s rules where your image is basically the thing that gets people’s attention. Let’s not forget how highly manufactured that era is. It’s a couple decades now and that is not how the game is played anymore.
Girl, I truly respect the time you took to research this!!! As a graduate student, I wish I had you on my team or possessed your skills and patience; your research skills are immaculate 🤝😃So detailed, and to the point. Keep it up!
Wow, thank you! I definitely had a lot slip through the cracks as someone who wasn’t alive for much of Jlo’s career- so I appreciate this!

@@tylerbenderr you absolutely are kiddo! 💜
I was such a fan but hearing that she didn't sing anything and knew all along that Shyne is innocent while he served 15 yrs in prison is reprehensible. Sickening.
Thank you, Tyler Bender, love the content and research of this essay.
Her best movies were "U-Turn", "Out of Sight", "Angel Eyes", crazy stuff. She was great.
Unfortunately, she won't stick to movies. She needs to some philanthropy for sure.
I remember she was also pregnant with twins when she was in the middle of dropping the Brave Album - so I think that had something to do with the ok success of that album. She only really promoted a couple of songs from the album for instance ‘Doing it well’. She’s had some incredible songs and incredible movies all throughout her career. Her worth ethic is unbelievable, but it seems as if the lack of credit that she’s failed to give to singers who sang a lot of her songs is what created her massive current crisis along with how she treats her fans/service workers/staff.
With Casper she nicknamed him Bo. She has done great but she defo did some things that seems as if she was willing to do anything for success even if it means trampling on others - which has affected her brand.
ALL of her “incredible songs” have been sung by other artists which has been proven!!
Have you seen that Coach ad where she's twerking? I got it like a million times on UA-cam and it was so awkward 😭
I thought it was just me
I liked dove Cameron and the Asian girls’ ad campaigns more
Watching Ben crumble infront of the camera followed by JLow hobbling around with an umbrella is the most embarrassing, entertaining thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂
Madonna didn't share the stage with J. Ho like you said in the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
I love how most of JLo’s film roles before Selena are all ignored. She had some bit parts in movies, not totally great, but not worth leaving out. She was in a movie with Robin Williams called “Jack”, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. She was in a pretty solid neon noir with jack Nicholson called “Blood and Wine.” Then, after Selena, she was in “U-Turn” directed by Oliver Stone, “Anaconda” and the very popular “Out of Sight.” The films before Out of Sight were of mixed reviews so I guess that’s why they’re not being brought up.
I actually saw Second Act and liked it at the time. But it's so ironic to me that she launched a beauty line selling olive oil as the secret.... WHEN THAT'S BASICALLY A PLOT POINT OF THE MOVIE 😂
I love watching videos about jlo and no one knows how to say Gigli... A movie so bad people can't even say the title correctly
Only ppl under 30 pronounce it like that.
Girl im sorry , but you need to make sure your titles and names are right if you are going to make a video slamming another person, a woman at that. This is trash journalism
The JLO era has to be DONE! I can't see her face anymore....
I just moved to LA and there are posters and billboards for a new underwear line she’s dropping EVERYWHERE
Unfortunately this is it for her there are other people on the stage now she had her moment. By the way this was such a great presentation and your candid delivery is so on point 👏🔥
I wonder will they re open case of the shooting in the club in 1999 P Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were in the club and 3 people were shot. The young women that was shot in the face
has been saying P Diddy did it since 1999. Will this case be re opened and the truth finally come out? How the gun got into the club? Will P Diddy be charged for the shooting?
Shyne went to jail for 10 years for crimes he did not commit! 💔💔💔
Did it occur to you to mention that she did the halftime Superbowl show with Shakira?
The pause at 22.55 is GOLD.
JLow is a horrible person. Stealing Ben’s generous tips to waitresses and blackjack dealers is just so gross, as is sharing his love letters with her employees. She’s so disgusting.
Casper the backup dancer was accused of dating trans women. That’s why JLo broke up with him. I don’t care who Casper dates but at the time, people still had regressive ideas, so it was a slap in her face that he would date a trans person. I’m the same age as JLo, so I’ve seen the JLo show from the front row. I have already made my popcorn for the post Ben excuses as to why they didn’t make it.
“Gigli” BABE 😂😂😂😂
🎶Why do you build me build me up buttercup baby just to let me down🎶
You can also add thief and narcissist to her resume.
She’s a good singer, dancer, actor and business woman. I think it’s just the “Ursula era” (stealing voices), being rude to fans and making high demands on talk shows that give her a bad rep.
Ursula era - do true😂😂😂😂
She’s crazy!!!! Too much, too much, too much, she’s like a robot, but she’s obsessed with herself and money!!! So sad!!!
She used other peoples voices in her music. She cannot sing. It’s an open secret.
Didn't realize that she had so many albums...who sang?
Just as a side nitpick, the movie is pronounced “G-Li”. The second G is silent. We couldn’t figure it out back in the day either haha
As someone alive when that movie came out, the hype train was absolutely ridiculous for this terrible ass film (and it was so bad, I recommend looking up the Cinematic Excrement channel’s review) and was tied into their relationship to. The day the movie was released, J Lo calls off the engagement and I was glad that _Entertainment Tonight_ went back to covering other stories.
They’re also the reason why we now do portmanteaus for celeb couples as well as fandom shipping, so there’s also that. 😂
The wedding planner is such a great movie
This is AMAZING and you are a GENIUS! ❤❤❤
J-Lo acted snobby toward a report at the Met Gala just proved to everyone that she is a arrogant narcissus.
Collagen and retinol work much better then botox! Botox is a terrible procedure
Nah Botox actually helps a lot with certain things
@theonewhosthere you didn't convince me, feel free paying way too much for a useless procedure, I dont care!
I love watching you make these whiteboard videos. Informative, entertaining and funny 😂❤
Fashion designer? Creating T-shirts with your name is not being a fashion designer.
This video was very unique. I like that you broke it down from a trending standpoint. Good video!
Millennial here. I was a fan of J.lo. I’ve watched almost all her movies, bought records, her products, went to her concert (the one with Marc Anthony, she was preggos then).
I cannot and will not defend her on this one though. So out of touch from reality. I realized throughout the years how problematic she is.
Sorry J.Lo,
I think that Jennifer Lopez should go to Mexico and do Telenovelas .
They are one of the largest producers of telenovelas .
Whether they can Act, Sing, or none of the above, everyone is welcomed there
She can learn Spanish and maybe bond with her fellow Latinos. She'll fit right in.
Mexicans are a different type of Latino; I think most Latinos abhor her. Puerto Ricans tolerate her.
The Gigli reviews were far too kind. Gigli was far worse than words can express.
Dying at “Giggly” 😂 showing your young age girl.
Please tell me where I can get that outfit you're wearing!! I love it!!
Top is from Rachel parcell collection and bottoms are from revolve but both are old because I never buy new things hahaha
@@tylerbenderr thanks for answering!!!! I always kinda figure it’s not necessarily something I can go out and get, because it might be something the person has had for a while, but I sometimes expect people to have affiliate links for their clothes and maybe I can go get it….. 😄
I appreciate you discussing her highs. I'm a (low-key...high-key) JLo hater but I truly didn't realize how successful her music and box office health was in the 00s.
I don’t think she is done. How many times have people tried to cancel the Kardashains? Celebrities don’t get canceled that easily.
