She's a mediocre actress, a not very good singer (her recordings are all highly produced) and a decent dancer.

 

The shows are all about costume changes, lighting, spectacle and dance numbers.   As long as her fans continue to want that, she do okay for awhile longer.

ITA ....  If she was even a decent singer she wouldn't have to have all those distractions.  

 

She's giving all the attendees a show, not a concert.

If someone offered me a quarter for every JLO song I named I would have nothing. Same with Beyonce. I put them both in the same envelope and sadly know nothing about their singing abilities-though I imagine they have them. I am in awe of their dedication, physical appearances and stamina!


 

@We rescue cats 

 

Same here.  I doubt if I heard a song on the radio by JLo, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift I would know it was them.  

 

However, I'd know Stevie Nicks the minute she started singing, lol.

Ben was the one who left the marriage wanted a divorce. He's far from eating his heart out. He's absolutely not missing Jlo or her entourage. 😂

ITA ... Ben was smart to get out.  JLo is just too emotionally high-maintenance.  

 

Anyone want to take bets on how long it is before she has another husband?

The 'show' as opposed to the actual 'performance' has always been a part of the entertainment industry but the extent to which it's increasingly become virtually all spectacle over substance is actually sort of a shame. It appears real talent is now only marginally or occasionally rewarded.

ITA ...  The less talent they have, the more distractions they need on stage.

 

I've seen live concerts with Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, and Neil Diamond.  Amazing performances. 

 

Each of them could stand on a bare stage, sing, and hold the attention of everyone in the venue.  Now, THAT'S talent.

I actually liked JLo in Selena, The Wedding Planner, and Maid in Manhattan..... 

 

I think she did a good job in those movies....I am not too familiar with her songs, except for Let's Get Loud....

He was miserable every time paparazzi pictured them even on their exhausting honeymoon. Then remember Jlo's interview when she read Ben's intimate love notes publicly his reaction wasn't happy. So there's that.

I think she makes a perfect match with Alex Rodriguez and maybe they will meet up again. I think they have the same sort of interests unlike her relationships with Ben Affleck. She may love him but think they are too different for a long lasting relationship.

From news reports Alex Rodriguez has long time relationship with another woman. Jlo should consider taking time out from relationships and work on herself.
