First the cute guy smiling while saying she cancelled her tour and then... they had to put her worst picture ever up. They clearly don't know her.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted June 1, 2024 Members Share Posted June 1, 2024 I think the third option seems like the most likely. I am not a fan of her music but she has a reputation for being a workhorse so I don’t think another marriage in peril would stop the show for her. From the things that I have read (and I admit to not paying very close attention), ticket sales have been an issue. Honestly, I had forgotten that she had a career in the music business. She still has a viable acting career, she would have been better off focusing on that. If she wants to do the performative aspect, she should seriously consider training to do some theater. Start modestly, off B’way. The Puerto Rican Traveling Theater would probably make space for her in one of their productions (she could even produce a production) and they’d likely be glad for the publicity she would bring. But that would require serious training and some humility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted June 1, 2024 Members Share Posted June 1, 2024 I'm pissed. Absolutely pissed. I had tickets. Pre-sale and all. And then she cancels. This happened to me with Christina Aguilera, and I've yet to buy tickets for her again. Give me my refund, ASAP, so I can buy Janet Jackson tickets. She was 78% sold at last tracking, so trying to suggest it's low ticket sales was bullshít; that's just ignore assholes trying to de-fame her once again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 2, 2024 Members Share Posted June 2, 2024 Jennifer Lopez has sustained a career that her peers have not. She is a workhorse. However, her latest album is an unmitigated flop. It didn't crack the top 20 and very nearly didn't crack the top 40. She is overexposed and the media has turned on her. She can do nothing right. She and her management have made a wise decision to retreat. I expect she will disappear for the foreseeable future. Whether there will be a marital issue down the road remains to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 2, 2024 Administrator Share Posted June 2, 2024 If she had a residency in Vegas, I think I would go see her just as long as she plays the hits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted June 2, 2024 Members Share Posted June 2, 2024 Her last album and her documentary were... I don't have a word for them. Histrionic... narcissistic...? And I have no problem with little of both, when it's little and not... IN MY FACE - trying to manipulate me tactics... The documentary... especially... as someone who has lived with a person with these tendencies... It was triggering to watch. There was this point where she gave musicians printed messenger messages between her and Ben aka The World's GREATEST affair. TO inspire THEM. Jesus imagine your boss giving you a book of her dealings with her MAN and telling you - go and read it, inspire yourself. LO.. She doesn't understand how tone-deaf and annoying all this is. People really want to say for themselves if something IS or ISN'T the greatest love affair of all time. When you say it and brag about it YOURSELF, acting like it's 2001... well it isn't honey - it's 2024. We are not in love with Ben, we don't need you to show us you greatest love every day, we got it - you are lucky and in love. That doesn't change the fact that the new album is just... underwhelming and boring. I adore J.Lo's hit songs... and when I drink, I become a fan...Trust me. J-lo was my first CD I used to own when I was a child. But at this point in the game, I repeat, I am NOT surprised what a big flop her projects have been. And yeah - we don't believe you had to cancel the tour you went your way to promote, just to be with Ben and family. It's obvious you are not happy that the world is not pulling the red carpet and screaming you are number one and you hate the media and the fans turning against you. But there is a reason for it, and it's not cancel culture this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 13, 2024 Members Share Posted July 13, 2024 (edited) The NYT published a seemingly sympathetic Opinion piece on Jennifer Lopez that was accompanied by a deeply unflattering photo of her. Geez, did they have to go there?! I may read the article but wonder what the purpose was of having it accompanied by this photo. EDT: Just read the piece and ooh-wee! It resurfaced some very controversial things that I had forgotten about, the use of a word in Spanish that is connotes insensitivity toward Afro-Latinas and those ghost singing and cultural appropriation allegations. This is one of those “I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him” type of pieces though the title claims that the author “Can’t Revel In J-Lo’s Fall From Grace”. She may not be reveling but is sure isn’t a testimonial. Edited July 13, 2024 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted July 13, 2024 Members Share Posted July 13, 2024 Did you watch her so called movie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 13, 2024 Members Share Posted July 13, 2024 No, I haven’t seen the movie (but I take it the reviews were not good) but I caught a glimpse of the trailer and I am pretty open minded about unorthodox storytelling devices but it seemed scattered and odd. The article reminded me that she released a movie, a documentary and an album and then plans for a concert tour? That is a lot of saturation. Who advised such a thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted July 14, 2024 Members Share Posted July 14, 2024 The documentary, in my opinion, was a histrionic display of self-obsession. And not in the...trashy but cute.... Madonna way... or the... bizarre but captivating... Michael Jackson way. No... It was in the - I am the second coming of Christ and my love affair will be written in the history books type of way. She wouldn't stop talking about how she and her boring man are the world's greatest love affair. That was her main topic. Then there were these fake staged moments where she simulated being like everyone else and from the block and just a regular chick... who struggles... With being so amazing and so famous and in the greatest love affair the world has ever seen. She just overdid it. And it backfired big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
