Agreed!!! Regardless of how we feel about her talent level, she’s had a really successful career! But it’s over now, at 50 something and newly married for the 17th time, she should be slowing down and enjoying her life, watching her kids grow & nurturing her marriage. But she loooooveess being famous and just can’t give it up. Smh
Celebrities get addicted to the praise and attention. But I agree. Its okay to focus on 1area in your life, like acting. And enjoy the fruits of your labor.
I feel no ways. She's rich, she can go live her best life in luxury and seclusion but she insisted on trying to recapture her former glory which fell flat. She'll be alright.
@@Kimmy_95NOT Beyoncé, NOT Kendrick Lamar, NOT Rihanna, NOT Madonna, NOT Janet, NOT Michael. In the word of Jay-Z: "if you like my old music, buy my old shit". J-Lo, Ciara and MANY others are stuck somewhere between 2002 and 2005
General audiences have NEVER been interested in “Bennifer.” The whole “Bennifer” thing was almost exclusively the legacy media and tabloid media that was obsessed with “Bennifer.” Just look at all of the film projects that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made together and see just how much of a MASSIVE FLOP each film was. That was the ACTUAL size of their fanbase. It was very small.
I was still an adult when Bennifer happened. I remember them being a very powerful and popular couple. I got so sick of hearing about them much like I do with people like the Kardashians.
Here’s the thing, JLo’s entire career has been smoke and mirrors. And what I mean by that is, she and her entire team have tried to make her entire music career bigger than what it actually is by trying to put her on the same level as women like Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Britney and Beyonce. When in reality, she has none of their success or accolades. In 2014 she won the Billboard Icon award.But if you look at who else won that award such as Prince, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Janet Jackson & Mariah Carey. You quickly realize that JLo sticks out like a sore thumb amongst those artists. I don’t think it’s ageism either, given that older women such as Madonna, Janet, Cher, Shania Twain and before she got sick, Celion Dion were all doing fine when it comes to touring. I think fans are invested in those women’s careers and not JLo’s. Ultimately I think what it is is that people have never cared about JLo as an artist, or her music in order for people to continue to support her after 20+ years
@smurfyboy92 exactly 💯 it's the same thing I keep on saying to people, people are invested in women like Celine Dion if she could go on tour now at the age 56 it would be sold out all over the world, this has nothing to do with age, people just don't care for Jennifer Lopez.
It's nuts that she got the icon award in 2014 before Celine (2016), Cher, (2017), Janet (2018 ) and Mariah (2019). Compare their talent, sales, longevity etc to hers and you see that something just doesn't add up. The mere fact that she doesn't even sing her songs is enough for me. Britney and Madonna may not have the best voices ever but at least they don't use ghost singers..
@@nomfundisokafwanka1870 Ageism does play a part in general but not in this specific situation imo. Also J. Lo shouldn't even be compared to Celine Dion. Celine's last tour with more than 125 shows was sold out before she had to cancel the remaining dates because of her illness, J. Lo couldn't even sell 30 (?) dates. Plus Celine has performed more than 2000 times selling out tickets, while J. Lo has done 300 shows. You would think that people would want to see someone who rarely performs live, yet here we are, the public doesn't care. Not because of her age but for all the other reasons.
@@rivamentez1627 am not comparing her to the legendary Celine Dion, people on the other channels just assume that this has to do with women her age, that young kids only want to see stars like Taylor swift which is not true, my point was in my previous comment people just don't have love for jlo.
@@nomfundisokafwanka1870 No, I know. You said that you keep saying this to people and I agree with you because I've seen similar comments and they baffle me. Also they keep comparing apples to oranges, without taking a look at the artists' actual careers.
The problem with JLo is that 1. She's stuck in 2002 and thinks people still give a sh*t about Bennifer 2. She's trying to market herself as a relatable, girl-next-door type of person when she's probably the least relatable celebrity on the planet and has never really built a connection with her audience.
i think so too! i feel like there are lots of sucessful artists who are just as mid or bad as jlo is vocally. she's a good actress and is a great dancer/performer, but her bad reputation is what is killing this whole thing for her.
@@atashatv6715is Beyoncé rude or is she just private? I don’t like her music, and I don’t care about her, but there’s nothing wrong to be about an artist leveraging their talents and not pretending to love each of their individual fans and making their life an open book. I admire the fact that we don’t get to see much of her private life.
Whether you like JLo or not, you have to admit she brought this upon herself. In terms of her relationship, she's fully aware that it collapsed the first time due to the media scrutiny and pressure. So what does she do 20 years later when she's blessed to reunite with her one true love? Immediately try to monetize it and make an album, a film, and a documentary focusing on their private life and putting them right back in the spotlight. No one to blame but herself 🙄
This 💯 is her hubris right here! Why on earth would you double down on what took your relationship out the first time??? Like you know your partner is private and you go do THIS with no shame obviously. I guess we ate reveling in her shit storm because she needs to be humbled.
Ooh SNAP!!! 😲 I read this n instantly was "Laugh'n My Ass 📴" 😂 , I couldn't agree w/ u more "wake ⬆️ call" I think her 15 minutes of fame is ⬆️" time 4 her 2 pack her bags n time 2 go back 2 ur old "Hood" oh wait tha ppl that live there don't want u back in there neighbor"Hood", time 2 go find a different block 4 jenny 2 run ⬆️ n down on...

Bye Felicia 👋 oh yea n she can say goodbye II her music 🎶🎵🎶 career, if u wanna call that "ish" 🎶music...
She could have said "hey, how are you" first just to be polite before immediately going "I use to live here" automatically just expecting him to understand what she meant.
I mean the only things Mariah has said about Jlo publicly is that they never met (2016), she doesn’t know her (2003) and that she wishes her well (2010)
@MariahIsolated "if i had the luxury of not having to sing my own songs, I'd do that too" "Singing is a god given talent, her thing is something different"- Mariah Carey🦋🐑❤
Coulda gave it to Puerto Rico few years back for hurricane relief or her elementary school in the Bronx that shut down due to funding. That’s why the boricuas dragging her north, south, east, west on TikTok.
I’ll never understand how Milli Vanilli entire career was destroyed for lip syncing to OTHER singers voices. Yet Jlo does the same thing and no one batted an eye……until now I guess. I think what’s happening is that 90% have woken up and realized how she built off her entire career off of other more talented singers. In the words of great Mariah her thing is just something different
Because they were new. And they lied about using other vocals. JL never lied about it because it clearly says it in the details of the songs. . The thing is nobody looked or cared. Also JL had movies and lots of other projects.
aside from her awful branding, she’s just also one of those special cases of blowing up because she came into the industry at the right time, with the right backing. i think that’s why she doesnt really have that (music) career defining moment and why she never cultivated a loyal following. not to diminish her talents, she’s a good performer and i do usually enjoy her acting. i just don’t think she was ever destined to be last forever in the music world tbh.
Definitely spot on about the right backing.....Tommy Motolla's hatred toward his 2nd EX-Wife, SELENA'S de@th which helped make the movie possible & also DIDDY'S help to co-sign/attract black folks are a FEW aspects that helped pave the way for JLO in both the music & movie industry.
She did have an amazing run on the back of other Vocals of talented singers. But, She was pretty much done over 10 years ago, but along comes American Idol and it managed to regenerate her career and then carried another good 10 years. However, her arrogance, narcissistic rude diva behaviour finally caught up to her after decades of being such an entitled elitist. She underminded the power of the "Peasants" aka fans and public. Now they royally serving her up Humble Pie with an orange drink. Cause if she didnt know, she knows now.
@@Kimmy_95100%. You hit the nail on the head wit this. and now that d*ddy’s empire if crumbling (deservedly so) I feel JLO is feeling some of the effects
she’s talented, it’s just that she’s focusing on the wrong lane lmao. she’s choosing the ones she is least gifted in. she should focus solely on acting
@@NawiTheCoreand selena, taylor and lots of pop gurls. Man too: justins, edaheran, all the regeton rubbish.. mainstream pop has declined for decades now
@@user-jh8uf4u666that one was really, really bad! I remember Dayanara speaking about how it all went down and said, JLO and mark were having an affair so gross
"What goes around comes around" Everything wrong she gets is well deserved, she destroyed other peoples dreams, she knowingly worked to sabotage the career of a truly talented woman.
And do you have any proof of that? She made a career for herself because she is a triple treat - those women didn't, so sorry about them. They must have lacked something.... 🤔 If I failed at something, there is only me I should blame and not other people.
Is it schadenfreude for me to say this gives me life 😂 In a world with so little justice, and her well documented lifetime of being a selfish a🕳️ it’s hardly sad she’s getting some karma. The age of celebrity is OVER.
I don’t think she’s ever really had fans. She was bolstered by her tabloid ready relationships and persona. Almost like an influencer before that was a thing. And, as she gets older and people stop caring about her relationships, no reason to tune in.
@@anikamathur02 Jlo is a horrible singer, oh wait she doesn't sing! Ashanti & Christina Milian ghost sang those songs. She also stole "firecracker"(YMO) sample Mariah Carey originally wanted to use for "Loverboy" (2001) 💋
@@Theicons687 Yes, I am huge fan of Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey. I hope Kylie tours North America soon. Excited to see Sophie Ellis Bextor perform live in Sept. 🤗❤️
@@michaelcainghug1735 she has a normal singing voice and Ashanti and Milan did background singing for them and Mariah all time uses falsettos and whisper shit BTW I'm glad britney doesn't do these things
She overestimates herself in every way and has cheated and done much worse to get where she is, so it’s really just karma. Also she has 0 authenticity which is her biggest downfall. She needs to be thankful why she does have for how little talent she actually has, but she can’t because of her narcissism.
For so long she got defended and excused for blocking, and putting down talent like MC and Ashanti, and just like Cardi, she is getting her just due. Talent wins, not thievery, and payola.
To add another layer on to the embarrassment that is her career ... she decides to LIE and say she cancelled her tour to spend more time with her family 😂
It is surprising that she has gone this far. I always felt that JLo lacked something and it bothers me to see her in such a high position in this industry. She’s always been C class and now people realize that. Who would pay 400$ to see her? Like wtf!
Honestly she was one for the industry’s first plants. If you do some background into the situation with Mariah, you find out the only reason they pushed JLO so hard is because record labels were trying to screw over Mariah at the time.
Here's the thing about J.Lo. Yes, she works hard. Yes, shes focused. But the end product is nearly always mediocre at best. Whether it's her music or her movies. Maybe deep down she knows that, and that's why she still feels she has to prove herself. It's kind of sad, actually, and makes me sometimes empathize with her more than I want to.
Facts. She was built off dust and she knows it. She’s been insecure this whole time bc she knows she didn’t earn shit for real. She’s been tryna earn the recognition on the back end and it hasn’t worked bc it’s disingenuous. It’s still all “look at me” or “adore me” and mostly “love me.” It’s actually sad.
When she filmed herself crying over not being Oscar nominated for Hustlers, that’s when I really knew her ego was high. Who films themselves expecting to be nominated? There are many actors who get a phone call about it and move on with their day. Instead of throwing a pity party and wondering why she wasn’t good enough. Like- GIRL! 😂
@@jwfriedman1 she’s a bad singer, but her acting isn’t terrible. Also, saying Jlo is an average dancer is laughable, that’s just pure hate towards her. Her full length choreos throughout the late 90’s and early 2000’s shows she’s a very capable dancer.
@@ceruleanprince7139 She does the same thing all the time on stage, though. 'Street' dance mixed with a 'latino' breakdown and the wind machine turned up to 11 to create 'dramatic' hair movement. It was fine in 2001, but nearly 25 years later, people expect more than that.
She said she cancelled her summer tour to "spend time with her family"😂😂😂😂😂😂Low ticket sales, maybe NO ticket sales is the real reason Jenny, who's from the block....
jlo learned the hard way that she is > not < on the same level as madonna and beyoncé. both madonna and beyoncé are untouchable divas, but they're charismatic and they have changed the music industry for the better. jlo didn't change shit. she didn't even change her bronx lore.
Absolutely.....in other words she has no originality but to copy a lot of artists...ie...hair tossing which Britney started...dance moves like Janet and Beyonce...etc...etc...etc!!😀
I’m glad someone else noticed that JLo moves like she hasn’t cemented herself as a pop culture/latin icon. I noticed that after watching her Super Bowl documentary.
I think that’s true because she was really generating some serious heat as an actress in the 90s. Movies like Out of Sight, Anaconda, Jack, Blood and Wine and, of course, Selena really put her on the map as an exciting actress. But I think she lost credibility in Hollywood trying to be a pop star. She rode the Latin Explosion of the 2000s and had a popular run with music. But it’s no secret that she’s not a great singer and the whole thing felt pretty shallow after a while. Lopez would be better served sticking with acting and seeking out interesting roles with substance like Hustlers.
And let’s not forget, her relationship with Diddy. She’s not innocent, she was just as complicit into the shooting at that nightclub. That’s one of the main reasons people on social media been dragging her. At the end of the day, she’s getting her Mariah Carey/ Glitter moment aka her Karma.
Heer concert at Rock in Rio has sold out. Tickets went by quickly. Now she has added a new date to her visit. She´ll do her own concert in São Paulo and I expect that to sell out too. People have been hyped about it!!
She broke into the music business during a time when record labels were signing any pretty celebrity who could dance & hold a basic note. And if you didn’t have strong singing talent, the studios would have other people do all the work for you. Everything back then was manufactured, that’s how we got singers like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, etc. Those days are over. People can spot a poser very easily and they don’t wanna waste their money watching someone lip sync songs someone else created for them
The narrative britney spears can’t sing is crazy. Also the narrative ALL singers need to be powerhouses is fucking tired, britney can sing and she put out quality music too.. jlo can’t do either
A lesson to be your authentic self. Could you imagine if Aliyah was still here or if Britney had been allowed to flourish and never had so many pieces of shit surrounding her?
Jlo had hit songs and that’s it. No artistic identity strong enough to form a fan base. Being general public famous alone, will not sustain a musician. It only brings publicity but it’s fickle and people move on. Ideally you want both general public fame and a fan base, but if you have to choose one it’s better to have a strong core fan base bc they’ll sustain ur career through ups and downs
As a marketing major and someone with common sense, Jennifer Lopez is a good example of what not to do as an artist. Everything about her and this project has been bad. She should’ve realized she’s not at the top anymore and she’s not someone like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, or even Taylor Swift. The latter three women have created an authentic fanbase, and they’re exceptionally talented with likable personalities which made them beloved by the masses. JLo is an amazing performer and dancer but her personality isn’t likable. She’s rude and a diva to everyone, including her own fans, but she’s different from Mariah Carey since she played into the diva role and she’s talented at what she does. JLo should’ve realized that no one cares about her or her relationship with Ben Affleck. A few years ago maybe, but currently no. She should’ve done another Vegas residency, dropped the new album to promote it along side the residency, and performed a few new songs from the album. The movie should’ve been completely scrapped. If she wanted to do a movie, she could’ve done a rom-com inspired by their relationship and dropped a few songs for that movie. In my opinion, the album should’ve been more personal. It’s not a bad album but it’s something that’ll get lost in the void. If it’s inspired by her relationship, she should’ve chosen a picture of them as the album cover and been more vulnerable. Besides all that, her ticket prices were completely insane. Beyoncé was cheaper than that and I was directly in front of the stage.
JLO is a jack of all trades and a master of none. That’s why no one cares. There is nothing that stands out about her, and she’s not the only celebrity with a big ass anymore.
She’s starting to feel the repercussions of a manufactured career, Tommy Matola curated her early image and at the time it was cute but now… we don’t care
Now that she doesn’t have a bunch of talented people to leech off of and she’s trying to make stuff from predominantly her own spirit and effort it’s really showing how shallow and bland of an artist and person she has been from the beginning
Great video. Another issue is her claiming The Bronx, but not having given back in some way. People feel like she just uses The Bronx for street credibility.
Lopez's career is in downhill swing mode. She was never a great talent, mediocre at best, but that's what is being served up in all entertainment corners these days: Mediocrity. Her performance, with Shakira, at the Pepsi Super Bowl Half Time show was dismal. All these woman acting and preaching "empowered" and all they do is take off clothes, expose body parts, and shake their asses for a camera. Cha-ching!
What you said about her never cultivating an actual fan base is true. I’ve heard of the Swifties, the navy, the beyhive...the Jlovers?😂 since when? Who is a Jlover? Never heard of that till this video. She has no fans because she’s inauthentic. Brilliant actress though and greeeeeat dancer!
When i watch this, i just like to take my hair out. Reminds me of when i was 16 running up and down the block, ordering my ham and cheese on a roll at the bodega and an orange drink, you know you know
She deserves it. She's been a brat from day one and was so self-centered thinking people wanted to watch a documentry on her failing relationship with Ben. Karma's caught up to her, lol
She has more money than she will ever spend and plenty of income streams having nothing to do with being in the public eye so there's no crisis here except for a midlife crisis of ego. She's not a relevant celebrity anymore. That's not going to change given her age and mediocre talant. She hasn't managed to create a body of work with staying power. It's hard to watch her still grasping at exterior validation as if her life depended on it. This could be such a fulfilling time in her life if she wasn't desperately clinging to her own crazed imagination of who she thinks she is supposed to be.
some careers stay interesting so we stay paying attention - some not as much. The whole bunch of recent work seems like she has no idea what the people want from her, from entertainment in general. Like shes doing everything for herself and not the fans at all - so more power to her.
The universe allowed her to get bigger than she should've been as a music artist. But fame and fortune didn't help make her a better person. So now the universe is taking everything back.
I just picture Jennifer Lopez from that episode of southpark where cartman draws her on his hand and starts dating Ben Affleck and she goes crazy at the end. That's where we're at.
