She went on saying, “But obviously I was doing all these things in like my personal relationships that didn’t seem like I was loving myself, but I didn’t even understand the concept of it. It took time and it’s a journey and it’s still a journey for me.”

The ‘On the Floor’ songstress gets called out after she sneaked in a reference to her 2000’s hit ‘Let’s Get Loud’ during a medley of patriotic songs at Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Jan 21, 2021
AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez’s performance at the 2021 inauguration has drawn mixed responses. While some praised her for her beautiful rendition of “This Land Is Your Land” and “America the Beautiful”, she raised eyebrows with an unexpected reference to her song “Let’s Get Loud” at the Wednesday, January 20 event.
Near the end of her medley of the patriotic songs at Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Grammy Award-nominated artist recited the final words of the Pledge of Allegiance, “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” in Spanish. She then belted out, “let’s get loud,” which was a clear reference to her 2000 hit.
People quickly took to Twitter to share their reactions to J.Lo’s performance. While some found it amusing, others dragged the singer/actress for the move as they dubbed it “cringe” or “self-serving.”
“Miss JLO………..Let’s Get Loud? At the Inauguration?” a shocked viewer tweeted. Another shared similar reaction, “I am absolutely losing my mind at J.Lo adding ‘Let’s Get Loud’ into her performance ….”
“I’m sorry, I just busted out laughing at Jenny’s ‘Let’s get loud’ remix,” an amused user commented, while another accused J.Lo of “rewriting This Land Is Your Land as a Jlo greatest hits medley.”

Some others were not that nice, with one blasting the “Hustlers” star’s performance, “Jlo’s performance was so cringe why did she have to throw in her let’s get loud lyric.” Another echoed the sentiment, “Did anyone else cringe when J.Lo said ‘let’s get loud’ towards the end of the song? Ma’am this is not the time to plug your personal brand.”
“Whoever hired her to perform should be fired,” another remarked, while someone else hilariously asked, “If JLo could sneak ‘Let’s get loud’ into her inaugural performance I’m just really confused as to why we didn’t get ‘I wanna take a ride on your disco stick’ in Gaga’s National Anthem??”
Replying to the question, another user explained, “@JLo spoke Spanish saying, ‘One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty & justice for all’ & also ‘Let’s get loud’ which is a call to Latinx communities to not be quiet but fight to be heard, similar to what she did during the Super Bowl half-time show.”

Another also defended the star, “She is just telling Latinos to get loud and use our voice to make changes. She has done that for a while now.” Someone else added, “You don’t seem to understand….let’s get loud is for minorities like Hispanics to voice out their grievances ‘out loud’ , specially Puerto Ricans who are forced to be Americans.”
J.Lo herself has not responded to the backlash.

Alex also promised that his fiancee is planning “something really cool” for the performance, teasing: “You’re gonna be surprised. You’re gonna love it.”
Jennifer Lopez will be joined at the “Celebrating America” TV special by the likes of Foo Fighters, John Legend, Kerry Washington, Eva Longoria, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, and Demi Lovato.

The ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker is grateful to have her family as she receives the Icon Award from Maluma at this year’s Women In Music Event hosted by Billboard magazine.

Dec 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – Jennifer Lopez paid a gushing tribute to her fiance Alex Rodriguez and their “four beautiful kids” as she accepted the Icon Award at the 2020 Billboard Women In Music event on Thursday night (10Dec20).
The actress-and-singer followed in the footsteps of Alanis Morissette, Cyndi Lauper, and Mary J. Blige in being honoured with the prestigious accolade, and in her acceptance speech she thanked everyone who has made her who she is today, including her mum, her family, and even her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
The “Waiting for Tonight” hitmaker was introduced at the virtual event by her “Marry Me” co-star Maluma, who hailed Jennifer as his “iconic friend.”
In her acceptance speech, the “Second Act” star – who has 12-year-old twins Max and Emme with Marc and is also a step mom to Alex’s kids Natasha, 16, and Ella, 12 – recalled how she would “booty shake” to music in the Billboard charts with her mother Guadalupe in her speech.
“Music has always, always been my passion,” she began. “My mom used to put me on the kitchen table and would show me how to do the booty shake, or we’d sing the oldies, whatever was at the top of the Billboard charts at the time. Those are my first performances. It’s what inspired me to do what I’ve had the privilege to do for all of you all these years.”
“Of course, I want to thank my beautiful family for going on the road with me, for touring with me, for supporting me, for allowing me to be the artist that I am. Alex and our four beautiful kids, thank you so much. I love you. Everything I do is for you guys.”

Elsewhere, Cardi B was crowned Woman of the Year and gave an empowering speech telling all of the “regular girls” out there to go and grab their dreams.
“I want to say thank you, everybody, and I want to say to all the girls out there that are just like me, or just regular girls, when I came into the music industry, I didn’t know if these people were going to accept me,” she said. “Throughout the years, if you listen to my mixtapes and you listen to my music now, I have progressed because I wanted to progress. I want to be the best I can at anything I do and, you know, you got to put your mind to it.”
