Jennifer Lopez – This Is Me...Now

[14887fan]

Solid pairing. Should make for an extremely entertaining show.

[think pink.]

I wanted solo 🙃.

[Mike]

What a week this has been. I am soooo excited for this. 2020 is shaping up to be a better year than expected after all...

[think pink.]

But yes, these two should be great.

If she gets her much deserving Oscar nom she’ll be doing the SB and then the Oscars the following week. Whew!

[Mike]

I hope they do promo together!

[The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷]

This will be really interesting! I love Shaki and Jennifer is such a captivating performer... I wonder how they will work together. Even though they share some things in common, I feel like they're quite different as performers. I'm curious!

[Mike]

Maluma as a special guest hopefully.

Considering it will be in Miami, the idea of J.Lo performing Pitbull-less seems unlikely

We’ve only got 12 minutes for both ladies. He better just do his verse on On The Floor and DIP!

Jennifer Lopez & The Super Bowl: Does It Help Or Hurt Her Oscar Prospects?

An Oscars season which is already grappling with a much shorter season saw one contender today either throw a wrench or a winning lob into her own campaign. The NFL and Pepsi announced today that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will co-headline the Super Bowl 2020 Halftime show in Miami, Fl on Feb. 2. They are the first women to co-headline the Super Bowl and the first female performers since Lady Gaga in 2017. For Lopez though, it potentially pits a historic Oscar win vs. a historic performance to a U.S. audience estimated at 100 million viewers.

Word is that before “Hustler’s” Toronto International Film Festival bow, Lopez was not expecting the euphoric reviews and proclimations of an Oscar nomiantion for her role as Ramona in Lorene Scafaria’s true life drama. Not only has the picture become a significant hit (already at $77 million global after just 13 days of release), but after Steven Soderbergh’s “Out of Sight” it’s far and away the most critically acclaimed film of her career. Even with expected competition from “Marriage Story’s” Laura Dern (already campaigning hard and with a Gotham Awards tribute on deck), “Bombshell’s” Margot Robbie, “Little Women’s” Florence Pugh and “Waves'” Taylor Russell, among others, many would now be shocked if Lopez didn’t earn her first Academy Award nomination. The question now is how does the Super Bowl promotion and rehearsals affect her campaigning?

This may seem like a silly subject at first glance, but for STX Entertainment, which has a lot riding on their relationship with Lopez and proving to Hollywood they are here for the long run, any Oscar accolades for “Hustlers” equals uniquely tangible returns. The hottest “must be seen” ticket is the Governors Awards on October 27. Lopez needs to be there. She also should balance out her Super Bowl promo by doing the inevitable circuit.

Presenting at the afforementioned Gotham Awards, the Palm Springs Film Festival Gala, participating in either THR or Envelope’s actors roundtables, etc. would help balance out what should be a whirlwind of Super Bowl promos including a rumored new single with Shakira (Note: the BAFTA Awards are the same day as the Super Bowl so that’s one event she won’t make). If Lady Gaga could fit in these sorts of awards campaign events around debut of her massive Las Vegas residency show Enigma, which opened on Dec 18 of last year, than Lopez should be able to find a manageble blance as well.

Gaga’s “Shallow” won Best Original Song, but the pop diva did not have to deal with the shortened voting window in phase 2 that plagues the season. This year, final voting will last from just Thursday, Jan 30 through Tuesday, Feb. 4. That means the last three days of voting will take place on the Super Bown itself and the immediate 48 hours following. What if Lopez is simply bad during the Halftime performance? What if there is an planned “Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake” moment? Could any negative aspect of the show affect her chances of winning? Maybe or maybe not, but those prospects would certainly provide many studio publicists and awards consultants with some very sleepless nights.

Perhaps the shortened window means AMPAS members will pretty much make up their minds during phase one and simply make the same picks the second go around. Perhaps natural award season momentum will find another actress taking the key honors (SAG, BAFTA, Golden Globes), beforehand and making Lopez’s chances of winning moot. Maybe Lopez will become such a frontrunner it simply won’t matter (although campaigning would likely lead to that). Whatever the case, neither Lopez, her fans or STX will have to wait long to find out. The 2020 Academy Awards will be handed out on Sunday, February 9, just a week after the Super Bowl. Assuming she’s even nominated, of course.

Shakira posted a pic of JLO and JLO posted a pic of Shakira! Please record a song together! Wait didn’t JLO say recently she had a big collaboration coming?!

They already recorded a song together. Shakira will be releasing new music early next year. I dunno if their duet will be a single, but it's been recorded already. Their duet is currently being mastered in NYC.

None atm, it's a person that I know that works for Shakira's team. Apparently, Shakira's assistant was in NYC 2 days ago. The assistant mentioned that the track was being mastered. We'll see.

[think pink.]

If they are smart:

Drop the single + video on Friday. Perform it at the SB on Sunday.

[Wolfy]

I don't know about US radio, but it will be an instant streaming hit worldwide. If its a hot video, it might break streaming records. Her last lead single Chantaje has 2.4B views on YouTube. Hopefully that instant buzz will make US radio play it.

This could be huge for them.

[felipe]

I like Shakira, but does she have enough US hits to perform on an US event? What else could she do besides Hips Don't Lie and Whenever Wherever?

Omg there is a song too?! I’m gonna nut 🥵

Anybody doubting Shaki’s power can go 👋 bringing WORLDWIDE views and that colombian🔥 I really hope she sings at least one Spanish song and doesn’t just do WEWE, Waka and Hips. Chantaje?? La Tortura?? 😍🤤

But songs like Waka Waka or Chantage were not hits in the US, were they? I assume the Super Bowl performance would focus on the millions of Americans watching who have never heard Chantaje.

She'll sing whatever she wants. Besides, it's 12m, so that's 6m each. If they sing the rumored duet, then that's even less time that they will have. Shakira will probably just sing Whenever Wherever, Hips Don't Lie, Waka Waka + Ojos Asi. I see her adding one Spanish song, OA seems like the best match for the SB.

I see. It’s just that it got me thinking. I can only remember acts performing US hits on these halftime shows, with the ocasional new single of course. This could be the first “hey, you guys don’t know this song but it was a hit in some other countries”
