Congrats on the marriage!! Is it true that she requested in her prenup that he be willing to perform sex at least 3 times a week? Is Ben that hung? What's the tea think pink. / Ezekiel 23:20–21? WHAT?! WOW! I am super curious. I was shocked that he actually got married to her this time and she forgave him. Word around the tabernacle is that Ben allegedly cheated on her the first time with a stripper named Felicia Fellatio.

Hey music lovers! I’m Josh from NYC. You can call me Josh from the Block cause I born, raised and currently live in the Bronx. I grew up next door to the building Hip-Hop started in lived there all my life until 2018 when I move to an area not too far from “the block” JLo grew up on (and trust me it ain’t no “block”. It’s a street with Private homes like hers, but we’ll get into that later.
Let’s kiki and chat about this beautiful Nuyorican. So 1st off my answer is mixed. It’s actually “I love JLo but…”. I can say that because I’m the biggest hypocrite when it comes to JLo 🤷🏿♂️. I say this because I will talk trash about her former “singing” ability. Yet at the same time I am a fan. I love her music and I probably stream it more than most!
But the main question is “do we know her?”; as in does she deserve to be recognized and have the success that she has.
To put things in some context, let’s summarize her career and the triple threat that she is. We’ll go into each field; dance, acting, and then “singing”. No shade 😇.
JLo to me is a hard worker to in the sense that fought her way into dancing. She acting wasn’t far fetched, as she had a few roles hear and there. But she went against her parents wishes and decided to pursue dance as a main focus. It started to pay off as she appeared in several music videos and back-up danced for MC Hammer and NKOTB. So she was and excellent dancer cause those 2 acts were hi-energy dance acts (especially Hammer). But even with that she wasn’t a stand out to Rosie Perez when she auditioned to be a fly girl for In Living Color. Rosie said she had “star quality” and “never complained” but JLo never made the cut. But because the girl was such a hustler she often stayed back and it paid off because someone was either sick or something and Jehle ended up replacing her in 1991 as a fly girl.
After two seasons JLo went on to become a back up dancer an extra and Janet Jackson’s megahit “That’s the Way love Goes“. This was great for JLo because Janet was at the peak of her very successful career. JLo was even offered a chance to tour with Janet for the “janet. World Tour”. But JLo saw better for herself and turned it down to focus on making it big in acting. After a few moderate hits she scored BIG by auditioning for Selena. Needless to say she did her thing and got rave reviews. And became a household name, especially within the Latino community.
But was she lucky ?? There is a rumor that because of her luxe she was able to finagle a way to getting the role…BUT The fact is according to Selena‘s family and the casting Director J Lo embodied Selena especially when it came to the way she danced the acting and most impressive me the lip-synching 👀.https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jennifer-lopez-selena-1997-musical-biopic-25th-anniversary-211653363.html. Hey it’s a part of acting and she worked her butt off. But as far as her being lucky, It stems from the idea that had Selena not passed away J Lo would have not been a singer. Keep in mind JLo in 1999 at 30 years old decided to sing after catching the bug from Selena and wanting to be on stage again. But the problem everyone had in hindsight had is that JLo could not sing at all (at least not R&B/Pop). You can hear it on the actual final records, well the parts that she sings. ☕️
So here is where it all boils down to. As much as I love her music she probably should’ve had proper vocal coaching and not be so ambitious to sing (non-Latin music because she was decent sounding on Latin or Latin based records). She was very ambitious and I think ego has to do with that because remember that was the time she was clowning other actresses on an interview.
So to me it was a perfect blend of her ego, plus Tommy Mottola‘s agenda to replace his ex wife and capitalize on the hot Latin sound at the time, and her manager Benny Medina‘s similar interest in capitalizing on a sound and image, both along with completely turning a blind eye to the fact that she could not sing, especially Corey Rooney for being one of her main producers. And of course Her ex Diddy, Who was also part of the image making shenanigans and even managed to steal a song from Chanté Moore that Darkchild produced.
So I believe with this happening many many more times Jayla was definitely OK with being an industry Plant because she wanted to be an artist no matter what. I just find it fascinating and interesting that with all this ambition she could not bother to work on her vocals.
I said so much I’m so sorry but let’s open the floor for discussion.

With the whole lip-synching vocal stealing thing, I think she thought it was cool to incorporate that in a singing career. because it’s kind of like “well I can’t sing but I didn’t have to for Selena so oh well”

does she deserve to be recognized and have the success that she has. Yes. The rewriting of J.Lo's career has been infuriating. its hilarious that people somehow think Hollywood was ready and willing to hand everything to a Latina on a silver platter. If you think WOC have it hard now, imagine back then in the 90's. The racism she endured from Hollywood that she showed in her Netflix documentary barely scratched the surface. There was so many barriers that she had to break through. And still does. She is where she is today because of her talent, resilience and hard work. A Latina in her 50's still isn't here based off of sheer luck and other men . I don't know how many more times it needs to be explained for people to understand that she didn't steal any songs or vocals. If You Had My Love was produced by Darkchild for Jennifer after Diddy had heard the song he produced for Chante Moore. Diddy wanted the Chante Moore record but since Darkchild had already promised it to Chante, he made a record similar to it for Jen. We see this all the time. Ryan Tedder famously did this for Beyonce's "Halo" after she heard "Already Gone" that he had done for Kelly Clarkson and wanted an exact copy. If people want to be mad at anyone, be mad at Darkchild. Songs also being offered to artists and then changing hands has been a common practice in the industry for decades. TLC had Baby One More Time before Britney, Britney and Mary J had Umbrella before Rihanna, Kylie Minogue had Toxic before Britney, Nicole Scherzinger had We Found Love before Rihanna etc. Ashanti has said for YEARS that Jennifer didn't steal anything. She simply demoed/referenced a record for her which is extremely common in the music industry. They kept her backing vocals on the hook. Again, extremely common. That's Bebe Rexhas vocals on The Monster, Rihanna isn't hitting those notes and I don't see anyone ever claiming Rihanna sToLeD her vocals. Kelly Rowland sings the second verse to Beyoncé's Check On It that Beyoncé is literally lip syncing to in the video. And Kelly wasn't credited as a feature. Where's the outrage? That's just two examples off the dome. If her lack of vocal range makes her an iDusTry PlAnt then so is Rihanna. So is Britney. So is Janet. Fact is, she's never claimed to be a powerhouse vocalist. She is an example of the perfect popstar. An incredible performer with an iconic catalog of hits. Jennifer's talent got her here. It's her talent as a dancer that got her on In Living Color, her talent as an actress that landed her Selena and her talent as a performer and yes, *gasp* singer who's given us some of the best and most iconic pop songs and videos. And it's her talent along with hard work that's kept her here for 3 decades. Put some respek on her name.

As they should. A melodic masterpiece. I’m not sure if your being serious or not but it is a pretty enough song. I prefer the dance version. However I liked most of the “Marry Me” sdtk. My favorite songs were “Marry Me” (both versions) “After Love” pt 1, “Love Of My Life”, “Nobody’s Watching” and a couple of the Maluma tracks. It’s a cute listen.

The Mother looks good! Almost could pass for a sequel to Enough
Btw the whole conversation on whether J Lo "deserves her success" is not only moot but beyond ridiculous. Jenny may not be as talented in 1 area as others, but there's no denying she was meant to be a superstar. I love her in movies and enjoy a lot of music, and would love to see her live tbh. She's also absolutely stunning. Plus her work ethic is nothing short of amazing, and you can't fault her for that. And I say all this as a lifelong Mariah stan.

Oh no I’m serious lol, On My Way finished in my top 10 songs of 2021. Glad to hear someone else who enjoyed the soundtrack!

I laughed a few times while watching the trailer. This looks a bit better than Marry Me.

Yesss between this and The Lost City I'm so happy to see romantic action comedy romps coming back -- and this looks good! I actually really enjoyed Marry Me, I feel like Jenny found some really talented comedic writers to be a part of her production team and they're cranking out solid movies.
And she looks stunning, per usual.

I just love how she refuses to give us a new album. 😤 She said recently that she’s been writing a lot again and feeling inspired. Hence the TIMT references…she’s got her muse back.
