I'm sorry, TWO?!‽

I'm so incredibly chronically online and I somehow missed that she made 2 films based on that album?

Chile We know her album isn't doing well. Give it a rest already. Continously posting these negative things just for cheap trills is getting really tired.

Good for her! I regret not going to her Las Vegas residency show a few years ago when tickets were $60 on Groupon on the day of. I was in LV for the weekend and none of my friends wanted to go. 
 

I plan on going to this JLo tour since I’ve never seen her and know she is a fantastic dancer. I hope to get a good spot at a decent price since there is still a good amount of availability. 

 

You definitely missed seeing a real legend. Now her ticket prices are way higher than then. Tbh The Butterfly Returns was a flop haha.

Besides the humour, I would definitely see Jlo. Even though I’m a lamb, I respect her as a performer. She always puts on a good show.

I feel really bad for her tbh. I saw an interview of her talking about the album & the accompanying films and she was clearly super excited and passionate about the whole project.

Too bad seems like not many are interested to hear those songs in concert anymore

Clearly not many are interested in the new album, hence this “greatest hits” rebrand. 

I haven’t heard anything from it or watched the film. I’ve honestly never heard any of her albums in their entirety so I am one of those “oh it’s a greatest hits tour, I might check it out” folks.

The show I plan on going to is about half way sold. The prices are very steep so perhaps JLo and her promoters need to humble themselves with that pricing. She could also add one or two decent names as openers. They will promote it with all those hits and it will be an 80-90% attendance rate and maybe cut down on the production budget.

My guess is due to her use of playback.. 

When you're not singing live, audiences aren't impressed..unless you're a true legend like Britney, this type of pull is expected.

I would have expected her to do mainly hits anyway. She probably was only going to do 4-5 songs off the new album, even if it was named after it. Now there will probably be zero songs from the new album.

She's going to have to do a lot of overtime rehearsals to get this ready in time and be good enough. Her Vegas residency was highly successful so she's clearly trying to replicate that in tour form with the added benefit of it being in your city. It was highly ambitious for her and her team to think she could sell out an arena tour consisting of new material when this is her first album in a decade with no successful singles preceding it and her last huge hit was in 2011. This will also mean she's unlikely to take it worldwide too. And if she can only sell out half an arena, it'll cost more to perform it than it will actually earn. It's weird, she's never been a touring force even at her peak. This is only the third tour she's ever done in her 25 year career. So it's surprisingly so many were to happy to go all the way to Vegas to see her residency. She's known for putting on a good show but people seem to prefer watching it at say, an awards show for free rather than paying to watch it.

Not really. She hasn’t even started tour rehearsals. She ain’t Madonna. Madonna rehearses for months. J Lo is currently shooting “kiss of the spider woman” in NYC from April to early June. Her first dates are in August.

Girl looks like Tomb Raider. I wouldn’t call that polished, and she still flopped. 

Fun fact is that she was meant to be Lara Croft before Angelina Jolie was picked. Angelina got the role because she had less fame and was more edgy.

Idk which is more sad. That Variety is reporting on it or that a bunch of immature children on an internet forum are rejoicing over your misfortunes.

My issue with her is that she was so willing to become famous out of a producer’s spite for Mariah Carey, has been known to fully take songs and leave the original person’s vocals and sign it off her own, and LOUDLY rep a hood for decades that she’s done NOTHING for since becoming famous. It’s gross behavior. Don’t even get me started on her failed skincare brand that she marketed as being authentic, when everyone knows doctors are what keep her looking young.

Uhh well, she was famous long before the Mariah drama. Smash singles, album, movies, Golden Globe nomination.

 

Perhaps Tommy was intentionally trying to sabotage Mariah, but do we know for sure JLo was aware of his intentions? I do think it possible Tommy maliciously presented the idea to JLo and she jumped on it seeing a potential hit, which she shouldn't have done. That would be petty. But I don't think she was in cahoots with Tommy to sabotage Mariah.

 

If she's really done nothing for her hometown, then that's not cool.

 

I'm a huge fan of both ladies. I wish Mariah would sit down with JLo and hash this out. I bet Mariah would be surprised to know the truth of what really happened back then.

 

And I would like to meet one of these avon ladies that doesn't have a doctor on call. From JLo to Gwen to Madonna to Gaga. It's clear they've all seen many a needle and/or scalpel.
