I had heard the song last week and was so disappointed of it. I was expecting so little of this performance BUT it was THE BEST of its kind easy. To me, way better than Shakira and Rihanna. The song sounded fun and catchy. She looked so comfortable on stage, the dancers were hot and the choreography was GREAT.

Well Said!

Omg Shakira & Rihanna had the worst performances of the night!! So gross!

[MikeCheck12]

I liked the performance....but can't stand the song. :(

even though she performed well I could not get past the painful song.

[Cory | Alan]

the song is TIRED.

End.Of.

[COW COW COW COW COW COW COW]

What a train wreck the AMA's were...Shakira lipped, Lopez lipped,

[ificanthaveyou]

wow at the JLO criticism. Everyone makes mistakes, she's a human and she slipped up. She did not dwell on her mistake, and she kept performing like a trooper. I have never been a big fan of hers, but she is a class act and she danced her a$$ off. You might not get an amazing vocal performance from acts like JLO or Britney Spears or Madonna but you're gonna get an amazing, memorable performance. Still think she was one of the bests last night.

[vithor]

Still no airplay register for the song?

[BadRomance]

One of my favorite performance last night. I didnt expected much but wow she was good. I knew the fall would be such a big deal but live we didnt even know it was part of the choregraphy or not.

[RockaByeBaby]

I don't like the song but the performance was great. The fall wasn't even bad, it looked like a quick transition to her dance solo since she was so fast standing up, I dont know why everyones making a big deal out of it, oh well at least she's getting promo by people talking about it so I guess it's good anyway. If it wasnt for it I wouldnt have bother to search and watch the performance so

[queencello]

She shouldn't be criticized for the fall. Things happen. And she recovered like a pro. I thought the performance was good, especially considering that the song sucks.

[rellybois]

I haven't heard people criticising her fall as much as I've heard people criticising her lipped performance of a terrible, awful, tired song about $1000 shoes in the middle of a historic recession.

Adds date: December 8

[SO.UNCOOL™]

Ryan Seacrest spun it this morning.

[Deleted]

Adds date so soon :o. Better get them while the song is still fresh in everyone's mind.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yes, she didn't skip a beat after the fall, and her dancing was as sharp as always, but "brought down the house"??? It's on tape...she didn't bring down the house, the audience wasn't enraptured, their energy levels didn't crackle when she was onstage, and she didn't get roaring applause or hoots and holler. The proof is all over Youtube. The song is awful, with no discernible melody and a non-existent hook, and her relevance is gone...you could tell that the audience was less than mesmerized. Jennifer is a decent actress, but her late nineties, early 00s chart success was clearly a fluke...ala Taylor Dayne, Paula Abdul, Cathy Dennis, Karyn White et al... who all had a bunch of hits and then faded away.

Why do you keep coming into this thread with your negative bullshit?
You don't like Jennifer? Fine, no one's asking you to like her but the least you can do is keep your negativity to yourself.

There's plenty of artists I dislike but I'm not gonna enter their threads 3 or 4 times just to throw shade. It's such a waste of time.

It's one thing to give constructive criticism but I think you've made it very clear you're a H8TER so enough already

[BadRomance]

They premiered it tonight at 5:30PM at my local station in Montreal.

Awesome !

I have to agree. In fact, the surprising thing to me is that her fall hasn't been that much of a topic. All over the blogosphere you can see the songs she has leaked from Love? have been met with jeers and sneers. Her On The 6 and some of her This Is me...Then material was fluffy pop but it was at least melodically strong and had hooks. Oven and this song are basically session rejects.

Sad, because as mediocre a singer as she is, she at least chose catchy songs. I wonder what will the label do after the flops of her last three albums and this, which seems to be on its way to the discount bins also...

The only positive point of this era so far is that she have much more buzz than 'Brave' did BUT they didnt manage to get better song than this and FOTO.

Leave that for yourself. It's incredibly hilarious how one could write off Jennifer's success just like that. She worked hard for it and was (still is) a great entertainer. It wasn't all by luck, it wasn't a FLUKE at all. She is one of the very first Hispanics to break into the pop culture with her talent. She might not have the best vocals but she worked her ass off on other areas to make up for that.

[justfloating]

i think people are being way too harsh on the song too. I dont think its bad at all. So the chorus is repetitive. its sort of nice and different I think. It creates a sense of anticipation that I happen to be a fan of. Especially during the dance, it really creates a beat of its own for the chorus. the audience was definitely feeling the performance too. whatever though....we'll see how it does. I dont understand the criticism. She really seems up for this era and I think she is going to bring something promo wise that has been lacking in the past.

She's one of the very first Hispanics to have an impact on pop culture? Maybe if you were in a COMA for the last century and suddenly woke up in 1999

I don't think she was a fluke at all. I do think that she put herself in a novelty style marketing technique. She started off embracing the latin pop explosion but then went urban when the music changed...then went "personal" when that overshadow her careers...the last two or three records shows that she might have run out of opportunities to have her moment again. She might get a hit or two but who knows. This is coming from someone who owns majority of her albums.

I hope she can comeback because she was fun but I always wonder how she can make herself relevant. Maybe the diva attitude from someone who is only mildly talented singer and actress turned people off. If she were the way she comes across (more humble) maybe more fans would have stayed loyal instead of feeding into what most people were saying about her being overhyped and overrated.

Poor Gloria and Santana...true pioneers.

I can sorta see the 'repetitive' aspect of the chorus given it's the same line repeated over and over but I actually enjoy listening to it because of the harmonies running through it. The harmonies though the chorus constantly change, and that IMO is what I listen for. If it were nothing but the same harmonies on the same line 8 times in a row I would want to switch it off halfway through but the vocal arrangement saves the chorus for me.

Also, I think Jennifer sounds good. I don't get how people can call her a mediocre vocalist; she was able to pull off 'Let's Get Loud' (particularly the build-up with the high notes - very well done). I can see how she maybe hasn't used her voice to quite the same extent over the years but she sounds as strong to me as she's ever been.

Jose Ferrer? Rita Moreno? Chita Rivera? Maria Conchita Alonso? Raul Julia? Cesar Romero? Gloria Estefan? Santana?


And it was a fluke. How do you explain that her last three albums flopped, her film career is stagnant, she's never gotten any substantial love from any major music or film awards that aren't People's Choice or the oh-so-credible GGs? And she's never been seen as anything but a prefab celebrity as opposed to a true musician or actress?

[El Chiko Kevo]

Does she have anymore major appearances before the adds date!?
