Jennifer was fantastic tonight. She really gave a good performance. Even Simon stood up for her, he BARELY stands for the performers and guest mentors so that was impressive

Paula hasnt danced in years and Jennifer is a natural dancer. It really is no contest. yeah, right. isn't paula trained in 5 or 6 kinds of dance? and she's choreographed a lot of things after her singing career. she would show j.lo up faster than you can say two-step. and i liked j.lo last night. i didn't think she sounded too good.... but i wasn't expecting too much. i think it's only the second time i've ever heard her sing live. god, that songs amazing though.

I hope this performance gives her record and the single a boost. :)

I have to give J.Lo credit for releasing in the U.S a full Spanish Album, I mean in the U.S Spanish albums don't have much success, even Shakira ones don't sell that much and Shakira is the latin and spanish music diva, this one only debuted at #10 selling 48.000, very low and this week dropped a lot, if she wanted to raise the sales from her last album she is not having that much luck, she has to release another English album and I'm sure she will sell some more copies xD

:o She's really starting to sound like an authentic vocalist instead of just an electric entertainer when she sings in Spanish.

American idol did nothing for the song right ??! is not even on itunes top 100... No that was before the appearence.. CAUM was out of the Top 100 on Amazon and on US iTunes before her AI appearance. It's now #20 on iTunes and #11 on Amazon. I predict a jump that will surpass the 1st week sales of the album, maybe 60,000 - 70,000 copies, and a Top 20, if not Top 15, rank. I can't wait to follow the progress on hitsdailydouble.com on Monday. She dropped on the world albums chart but al debuts of last week felt, but Jen felt less hard (more competition) + Good Charlotte is way under here position. week 2 Jennifer Lopez - Como Ama Una Mujer Epic - 87.000 The single "Que Hiciste" goes up on the worldchart from 39# to 34# in it's second week.

jenniferlopez.com has a new look and they put a video up. The "Que Hiciste" fans only version video. It's very funny.
Overall American iTunes
"Que Hiciste" Going up to 98# "CAUM" at 24#
Mexico Sales
Debut was 6# (5.000 copies) in it's second week it's still at 6#. Selling consistantly, weird because she had no promotion at all there. She cancelled the signing session this month in Mexico but she will do a promotional tour around South-America in May.
Greece
Her debut of CAUM was 1# this week she is dropping to 3#. In radio airplay she is going up from 9# to 7#. Most wanted song top 100 she is with the "Que Hiciste" on 99#.
France
She goes up from 18# to 14#
Mexico
Debut at 48#
Worldwide sales so far
220.000 copies In the worldchart she goes up from 75# to 28# with "Que Hiciste". Just certified gold in Switserland for selling 15.000 copies of CAUM.

Shakiras album FOV1 was sold out in mexico some hours after the release it was already platinum in venezuela and triple platinum(now 11xPlatinum) in colombia. it sold 1million copies in 3 days! Shakira started in the South America region Jennifer did not. Her last albums were R&B and not directed to that part of the world. It's not a flop because the record is just out and there will be new singles. And she does extremely well in Europe especially in Spain, Italy and Switserland. A lot of people here dont get it that this single is a slow grower and consistently goes to the top. A lot people also forget that Shakira's album was a lucky one with a well choosen single. If Shakira had released "No" as a first single which is a ballad her crossover would be over. And Jennifer's album is promoted and is a romantic album. BTW she made a big jump in Romania from 12# to 5#!

it wasnt lucky one,it was real music. FOV1 is real lati nmusic not like jlos album. Of course Shakira's album sold more in it's first weeks her record was anticipated by the whole Latin South American community after her English crossover "Laundry Service". This is Jennifer's debut album in Spanish and she doesn't have the best connection with her South America audience like Shakira has. She builded up that credit half her career is in Spanish see Pies Descalzos. Now Jennifer has to do that too and Fijacion Oral was lucky because if they released second single "No" in place of "La Tortura" the album would have tanked in Europe and the US and "No" and the other latin american singles flopped in Europe/US or weren't released. It's stupid too say that Jennifer's isn't latinmusic because she 1# on Latin Pop on Amazon and Shakira is way below her. (No offense to Shakira fans and I have Fijacion Oral vol 1. but this comment was awful ignorant)

"No"" was #1 in many countries: Mexico,Colombia,Argentina and so on and #2 in ITALY. No wasnt flop.
Shakira also didnt have connection to her european or american fans when she released her first english album,but the album still sold 15million copies. And FOV1 was released 2 years ago so I really doubt its still on amazon charts,not like jlo who released her album 2 weeks ago. And we all know that Shakira won 3 Billboard awards for FOV1 and LT,she was sooo amny weeks at #1 with FOV1 on Latin album charts!

And we all know that Shakira won 3 Billboard awards for FOV1 and LT,she was sooo amny weeks at #1 with FOV1 on Latin album charts! READ! What did I say I was talking about the rest of Europe (not including Italy) and US not South America where her singles obviously sold well. No wasn't a flop in South America but the rest of the nothern European countries No was a flop. If you think like that Jennifer's CAUM/Que Hiciste are also smashes because she is/was 1# Switserland, Italy and Spain plus she has high ranks in France and Germany plus high positions in East-European countries. Laundry Service sold well because she did it in a universal language (English) which sells a lot. Spanish speaking countries on the otherhand are totally different when it comes to mainstream music you can't compare two different worlds. If she had not released "La Tortura" as a first single her album would have flopped in Europe and the US. BTW: You were saying that Jennifer doesn't make real latin music so I gave you an example of the amazon latin pop chart. And CAUM is completly different than FOV1 because it's an romantic Spanish album with full of ballads and that doesn't sell that much than Shakira's belly bouncing songs. Let's give CAUM some time and I think she did a great job she improved her voice and lyrics and the percussion is better than ever so I am happy.

She released theree(America and Europe ) Dont Bother That's what I mean she knew that "No" would have been a bad single for those regions which comes to my conclusion "La Tortura" was hit because it was upbeat just before the summer released and that's are the only kind of Spanish singles that work in Amerika and North/East-Europe and was one of the main reason why the record took off. Now back to topic. I love "Te Voy A Querer" or "Me Haces Falta"

Apr 16, 4:04 PM EDT Lopez, Anthony to Sue National Enquirer
DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) -- Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, are suing the National Enquirer in European courts over the tabloid's claims they were linked to a drug scandal, their Belfast lawyer said Monday.
Paul Tweed, who specializes in bringing U.S.-based celebrities' libel cases to British and Irish courts, told The Associated Press that actress-singer Lopez, 38, and singer Anthony, 37, were seeking "a six-figure settlement" from the Enquirer, based in Boca Raton, Fla., and its parent company, American Media Inc.
Tweed said the lawsuit would be filed Tuesday in a Belfast court, and in subsequent days in courts in Dublin, London and Paris.
A telephone message left at the National Enquirer wasn't immediately returned Monday. A spokesman for AMI, Richard Balvo, said he had no comment.
"It would be our policy to not comment on it at this time, Balvo said.
The lawsuit also seeks an apology and retraction for an article that appeared in different versions of the Enquirer's U.S. and international editions.
The version published March 12 in British and Irish editions alleged the couple were "caught up in a heroin scandal" - and reprinted a 2004 picture of Anthony standing beside photographer Michael Star, who is facing charges of heroin possession and child pornography in the U.S.
The article quoted an alleged friend of Star as saying Star and Anthony were friends.
Tweed told the AP this was untrue and that Anthony didn't know Star even as an acquaintance. Anthony posed for the 2004 photograph, Tweed said, in keeping with his usual hospitality toward backstage concert fans.
There has been a growing trend in international libel suits brought by U.S.-based celebrities in European courts, where libel laws favor the celebrity, not the publication.
"The First Amendment restrictions in U.S. libel law make it virtually impossible for international celebrities or other high-profile individuals to sue successfully," Tweed said. "But with the advance of the Internet, and with U.S. publications now extending their distribution network into Europe, they must subject themselves to libel laws in these jurisdictions."
Tweed said he received approval Monday from Lopez's Los Angeles law firm, Lavely & Singer, to proceed with the lawsuit.
It will be Tweed's second lawsuit against the Enquirer. In July 2006, he secured a published apology in the European edition of the Enquirer for an article that claimed pop singer Britney Spears was about to divorce Kevin Federline.

Billboard:
The post-Easter sales week frame shakes up The Billboard 200, where many titles make sizable moves up and down the chart. Jennifer Lopez's "Como Ama Una Mujer" zips 45-24 (24,000; down only 7%) following her stint as an "American Idol" mentor and performer.
