Looks like she's in rehearsals for "Kiss Of the Spider Woman". Her work ethic needs to be studied lol.

Her work ethic needs to be studied lol. I think everyone would fail the class if one of the assignments was walking a day in her shoes. Perhaps that’s why there’s no course. This woman is producing and starring in movie and television projects, working on music, filming music videos, doing photo shoots (that I’m sure she has to approve), keeping her staff in order (she is responsible for her team staying on task), rehearsing for a tour, appearing on talk shows and radio for promo, and that’s barely scratching the surface when you remember she’s also a mother with a whole family that needs her time.

It's easy to hate on her because that doesn't involve picking sides. No one's hating on artists who support genocide and whatnot whilst poor Jen gets clowned on constantly for either completely harmless things or events completely out of her control (i.e. what Tommy Mottola did to Mariah). I honestly don't get it. The comments on her latest posts are nasty af. And it seems most people don't even know why they're criticizing her so they'll just say ridiculuos things like she looks so old or that she is a terrible dancer. wtf

Queen of rom-coms. Glad she never stopped making them. She needs to do at least one more now that there’s a resurgence and appreciation for them.

Variety is supposed to be a reputable publication yet they keep peddling this “poor ticket sales” lie when the raw numbers are literally out there showing the exact opposite.
And then other media outlets are reporting the story citing Variety as their source. Media literacy is in hell.

And I keep seeing everyone online basically believing the reports. Also, I am seeing a lot of people say the Amazon Prime movies for the album are not doing well but they were #1 on the site so I am unsure where people are getting their information from...

I'm also seeing a lot of negativity, hate and jokes about her in comments on Facebook and Instagram now that they are changing the name of the tour. I'm surprised. I didn't know she was so disliked. I understand there may be some saturation with two documentaries and an album about her love life and an additional movie on Netflix, but still... what is ticking people off so much? Like it's not even a mixed amount of positive and negative comments everywhere I go. It's mainly all negative.

It would be good if they align themselves with the name of the tour to not fuel more jokes from haters. This new commercial reads This Is Me... LIVE with JLo still saying "This Is Me... Now" on the audio. I assume JLo is super busy and not available to record a new audio or at least a few words to replace "Now" for "Live, The Greatest Hits" and then somebody fixes the audio. I bet they needed to rush this commercial and couldn't wait for those changes being done. She's such a great entertainer.

Rebranding is actually smart, as all of the songs that the average J. Lo fan would see are indeed her greatest hits. I just hope she doesn't discard TIMN because it is indeed her best work. I think I will see the show in Austin.

The online hate has reached a bit of a disturbing level, but I guess it’s not surprising. People must not be used to triple threat talents her age putting this much effort and passion into new projects while others phone it in.

I think I will see the show in Austin. She won’t. I think they just wanted to assure people that it’ll be a mix of the album AND greatest hits. The GP gets very irritated when they go and see shows where the artist ignores the classics.

I have seen Kings of Leon and The Killers over 15 times a piece and there are songs that they will ALWAYS play live, no matter how many times I have seen those songs live. Hell...Mariah even plays Hero during her Christmas shows, LOL. The only band that likes to piss off their core fans by not playing their biggest songs is my fave, Radiohead.

New commercial for the tour. The online hate is very forced and ridiculous, but her team could have been a little less tone-deaf than putting out a new commercial revolving around the "I'm just the same girl from the Bronx" at this moment.

No, I think it’s hilarious that they left that in. Why are people so mad that she reps being where she’s from?. Yet other artists can do the same without any blow back. Had she never spoken of the Bronx again or her humble beginnings they would then say she forgot where she came from and is embarrassed etc. The hate is unhinged.

I've liked JLo since the very first single. It's not that I'm a die-hard fan, but I've liked a LOT of her songs throughout the years and a LOT of her tv performances have left me VERY impressed. I've also liked many of her movies and I like her. I was left so impressed when a couple of years ago I watched the documentary about getting ready for the Super Bowl. Unstoppable the woman!
I do have to say though that this whole new era has me very indifferent regarding its content. I still haven't watched neither the documentary nor the visual album thing. I just don't feel like. Maybe that killed my wanting to watch Atlas too? The Can't Get Enough single didn't have immediate appeal with me and the first video they showed (the wedding one) bored me so much. It felt like I have seen her wearing a wedding dress 100 times already throughout her career. The song did grow in me some more weeks after and I was impressed also by the video with Latto! I heard once the new album and did not catch my attention at all. But if you don't like somebody's music in an era that does not justify hate.
There's something else going on. The bullying nature of the general public on the internet does not help either. And there are a lot of articles and videos against her online these days. And when those things start, they have the snow ball effect. I checked this morning Ticket Master for her show in Austin in July out of curiosity and the majority of the seats are still there not sold. Something is not clicking this time around. In my case I know it is her new music and it is that I'm SO done with the Jlo and Ben thing. Yeah, I can handle some news here and there, but a FULL era based on that? No way. Maybe some other people are feeling something similar?
Would I have fun in a concert of hers? I would say yes. She is an amazing entertainer. Oddly enough, still I don't feel like spending the money to go see her. :( And I'm somebody who goes to concerts all the time...
Hope in the end the shows sell well and things go well for her.

I wish you could go with me to the Austin show! It would be fun to go with a serious fan. Also, I have to say: it feels nice to be on the same side of the fence when it comes to an artist! You definitely have my vote for Best Stan next year! As for the Sean Paul remix, makes PERFECT sense! I'm sure it will be hot. Edit: Carlitoz, let's go!! It's been ages since we last went to a concert together!

Look how far we've come.

Miles better than the Latto remix imo. Sean sounds like a natural fit on this track.
