Weak tour sales, a baffling album-movie-documentary, and general online mockery—why does everyone seem to have a problem with Jennifer Lopez?
where did it go wrong?? She has horrible taste in men but other than that I’d say she is doing great compared to most people

She’s a chronic oversharer and the story is always the same. We’re all hoping that if we ignore her for a while it’ll stop.
Also, she pulled a real shockaroo with that green dress at the Academy Awards show a zillion years ago but now almost everybody does it and they tend to be younger than she is.

She's always been particularly empty, more interested in selling herself as a brand than in specializing in anything. Like a lot of divas, aging is very hard for her because she's relied so much on being pretty and sexy, and you can only do that for a part of your life before people are no longer interested in that because you've aged out of it.
Trying to sell her romance with Ben Affleck as an epic love story to be consumed by the masses was a stupid direction for her to travel in--everyone knows how damaged and unhappy he is. He's with her now as a life-raft, not because they're so ecstatically happy together, and everyone knows that. But I think she's surrounded by yes-men and yes-women who won't tell her how deluded she's been to pursue marketing this narrative.

It was the 2000 Grammys,
Trey Parker wore a version of her dress for the 2000 Oscars one month later, while Matt Stone wore a knockup of Gwyneth Paltrow's pink gown she had worn when she won Best Actress the previous year for SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and gave a weepy acceptance speech that was mocked/parodied afterward.
Parker and Stone were nominated for Best Song for "Blame Canada" from the SOUTH PARK movie but lost to Phil Collins' "You'll Be in My Heart" from Disney's TARZAN.

She run out of options as an entertainer because she doesn’t have a lot of talent. And she does not have the personality to evolve into a media host of some kind.
Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and a few others have the same problem. Madonna does too but if she could get her act together I believe she could get back into the studio and make some more good pop music. Alas, she ‘s not doing that.

Nothing's wrong. She is in the news as 55 year old and people talk about her, including zoomers, regarding her involvement in the p diddy case. Remember Mariah Carey in 2016. Sold out European tour but how many people cared? No one. At the end of the year, she embarrassed herself at the new york eves party in NY and her career was ruined. Zoomers still won't care about her but they love seeing the scandals of J lo because for them she still is their childhood hero with the 2011 lalalalalala lambada song. J lo is currently doing everything right to stay relevant. The tour was planned that big so that articles can be written about low ticket sales as opposed to mariah's sweet fantasy tour where people sell it out but nobody mentions it. J LO WON!

Jlo doesn't seem to know how to pick a winner. For the first few years of her music career people have her hot songs because she could get the attention. Her 4th album has about 2 listenable songs on it.
She also appears to have said yes to any movie if the paycheck was right, after she made a fairly impressive debut in the likes of Selena, U-Turn, Out Of Sight and The Cell.

Never could see she isn't an Oscar-caliber actress, and that movie wasn't Oscar worthy. Her ego over her Oscar snub, coupled with her desperate attempt to reach publicity hysteria with Bennifer 2.0 just shows how delusional she is.

R9, the problem with your proposed argument is that she is not a diva. Divas are women who are very talented and have the ability to develop a very strong emotional bond with audiences thanks to their unique mystique. Jennifer Lopez cannot sing, is merely passable as an actress and dancer and has built a career on wiggling her cellulite - her talent places her on the lower end of mediocrity and her horrible personality doesn't endear her to anyone. Also, without makeup she isn't anything special. The truth is that she's incredibly lucky that she's enjoyed so much success over the years, because few people deserve it less.
R17, you're either one of her relatives or insane. Mariah doesn't need to increase her media presence because her tours are still selling out. Moreover, while her voice is a shadow of its former self, she can still control about two octaves of it and perform beautifully. Jennifer Lopez has to rely on scandals and baring her globs of lard in order to be in the media, which is something that true A-listers don't need to do. She is thankfully over and given how nasty she is, people are enjoying to watch how she's forced to eat a bit of humble pie.

R38 they were all actresses whose careers as leading ladies broke around the same time hers did. (Yes I know Connelly was around for a while, but holllywood didn't really start taking her seriously until the late 90s. ) And none of them command the same level of attention j-lo still does today. Of the actresses whose careers really kicked off in the late 90s the only ones to really sustain that level of fame are Angelina, Charlize and gwyneth. And gwyneth doesn't even really act anymore.
I'm not a jlo fan by any means but I think it's a little silly to say her career "went wrong" when she's had more success and longevity than 99% of the women she competed with at the start of her career

And generally speaking when an artist has been very famous for as long as she has they got a kind of permanent a list status. She won't ever slide into obscurity or be forgotten, like Joan collins or Sharon stone, the media will always toss her a pap shot, she'll always be welcome on the big red carpets etc.

The other thing is her music career was orchestrated as a revenge plot against Mariah Carey by Tommy Mattola. He used Jennifer Lopez to sabotage Mariah, stealing samples and concepts and beating her to releasing them first.
But Mariah had the last laugh with the “Mimi” album. Aside from “Get Right” in 2006 (which was a lead) and “On The Floor” (through American Idol), she hasn’t had a hit and has had a hard time. Her last big moment in music was really 2002/2003 when she could do no wrong.

She's had quite a few little scandalettes, like getting kicked off instagram for titty baring. Her lingerie company was sued by Santa Clara County for deceiving customers by signing them up for VIP services without letting them know they would be charged automatically every year. She got into trouble using lyrics deemed to be the spoken words of Muhammad, fatwa-worthy, for which she apologized. No worries. Rihanna's net worth is over $1.4B.

Some of those still images of a make-up-free JLo in R65 show the inevitable is finally happening:
She’s becoming a pear-shaped, fat-faced old Latina. It was eventually bound to happen - it’s her genetic destiny - but, post-menopause, the transformation has indeed accelerated.
You can almost smell the mothballs, plantains and stale White Diamonds as she bellows across the kitchen with bitterness and hostility toward all who dare get near her. You can feel the terror of any child - or adult - who dares get in her way.
All that’s left are the hairy moles, shriveled lips and sideburns requiring a weekly wax.

I disagree with everyone about the Super Bowel Performance. The bitch JLo even made sure Shakira stayed in flats the entire performance to dim her light. JLo was amazing during her piece and when she appears with the Puerto Rican flag it's a perfect moment.
You may not be the biggest JLo fan, I am not the biggest. But I am not a hater, either. There is no way you can tell me Shakira outshines her in this performance. I feel like I wandered into a Disney parade celebrating exotic Colombian culture watching Shakira down to the pan flute music. Then the real entertainer comes on. It was probably by design. She even put Shakira on backup drums. And Shakira actually does more bumping, grinding and gyrating than JLo. It looks like she is performing a fertility ritual. Shakira is a singer who can dance, JLo is a dancer who who can lip-synch to intricate choreography. You can see the difference.

Her 'This is me" project is the first time she's actually created something that was born of her own creativity, and suffice it to say, it's only proven how little artistic vision of her own she actually has. Everything else she's done in her career was written, designed, produced, directed, even performed by other, far more talented, capable artists. I think she unfortunately got the idea that if her knucklehead, loser husband can call himself a filmmaker, there's no reason why someone as hardworking and ambitious as her couldn't, but boy was she wrong.
I think she'll bounce back from this though. Honestly, JLo is like teflon. She's walked away unscathed from worse—that movieline interview, Diddy, stolen vocals and songs, Gigli, Bennifer 1.0 and countless other romantic humiliations, hosting American Idol (which is only a step up from Dancing with the Stars), olive oilgate, and so much more.
She'll always be able to put asses in seats as an actress. Hopefully this fiasco will force her to prioritize acting, which could easily be her greatest strength if she'd just focus on her craft and put her vanity aside in terms of the projects and roles she accepts.

But her catalogue does poorly for someone who was the second biggest star of all time. Her biggest hits should be doing much better. Material Girl and Like a Virgin have a combine 600-700 million streams. To put that into perspective, I Wanna Dance with Somebody has over 1 billion streams and Time after Time plus Girls Just Wanna Have Fun have almost 2 billion combined. And that's just embarrassing since Cyndi was considered the butt of all "whatever happened to this 80s star?" jokes and Madonna was the one who lasted.

Even that godawful 'Marry Me' made over 50 million, which sounds paltry but is VERY good for a rom com in 2022 that only had a streaming release (and was more than double its budget). It also stayed at #1 on Amazon Prime for over two weeks. The even worse, 'Second Act', made over 72 million against a 16 million budget in 2018. These are the two worst/lowest effort rom coms she's ever made and they still made money in a time when no one is watching roms coms anymore.
Like I said, she still puts asses in seats. They may be fat frau asses, but they still make studios money.

Compare that to JLo who is obviously a cutthroat bitch who'll do whatever it takes to stay in the limelight, including stealing husbands and jumping into relationships of convenience, Sorry, but even in 2024, people want to see old cunts go down. Fierce (and forgivable) when you're young and hot, but the brunt of jokes when you're over 50 and pear-shaped.

Apparently South Park targeted her for being so mean. After the episode aired, crew members on different sets would whisper "taco flavoured kisses" so she could just faintly hear them, but not be able to tell who was mocking her. True to form, she would either get them all fired or try very hard to.

R196 did you not see the 3,000 dancers behind Shakira? She had more backup dancers than JLo to heighten her choreography - in flat boots no less. Jlo might as well have thrown potatoes at her feet, for that mash potato stomping choreography. And when Shakira was alone, she was boring. Dancing with a rope? You may try to spin it so that Shakira comes out better than JLo - as we might all have the impulse to do, just because we like Shakira more than JLo. But in this instance, it's just simply not the case. Shakira just wasn't as entertaining as JLo. Unless you have the talent of Prince, which very few if any do, people want spectacle when it comes to a Super Bowl halftime show. And that's what JLo gave, a spectacle.

At the super bowl performance you literally have JLo coming out doing the salsa in slinky stilettos like a quintessential Solid Gold dancer while Shakira is doing the mash potato in bedazzled Reeboks like she's at some cultural festival.
But I will give Shakira this when it comes to her talent as a singer, songwriter and performer - her career doesn't have the trajectory of someone who had to claw her way up through a barrel full of horny uncles just to get to the top. Performers like Jlo, Rihanna and even Beyonce were passed around at the beginning of their careers just to secure the production of their music. There are blind items that Beyonce was basically sold to JayZ at the start of her career when they began dating when she was 15 years old. Of course there is the rumor that the same pretty much happened to Rihanna. And their are blind items that point to the fact that after her Chris Brown scandal, they both hid out in Diddy's Miami mansion to avoid the press and some weirdness happened their that made Rihanna ONLY want to appear with Diddy in public and never put herself in a private situation with him again. And JLo dated Diddy at the genesis of her career. And we all know now what Diddy makes his women do, especially being the bigger star at that point. They say there are videos of JLo floating out there somewhere. Maybe the feds have it now.

R207 Diddy is pretty much gay. He would make his women participate in what he called "freak-offs" where he would watch them with other men (escorts or other industry producers), usually film them and then join in. This usually involved a lot of drugs. It's what he made his girlfriend Cassie, who he met when she was 19 years old, do for about a decade. He physically abused her and she had to be constantly ready for when he would want to have a freak-off going so far as to making her hire the escorts that would fuck her in front of them - for the promise of a career. He sat on her album for years, never releasing it, holding it as a carrot over her head until she was finally able to break free. She recently sued him and settled for countless millions of dollars rumored to be in the high eight figures. And her suit is part of the recent federal raid against Diddy for possible sex, drug and gun trafficking charges. There were several celebrities and high up industry professionals involved in his freak-offs and unbeknownst to them, filmed, some with underage victims.
As far as men, it is rumored this is they way Usher and Justin Beiber got their start. Lil Bowow was passed around too. It's actually more than just a rumor now. Diddy sexually abused both of them when they were underage. Usher and Diddy both sexually abused Justin Beiber. The ones who played along got major recording careers. The ones who didn't want to play anymore were blacklisted and destroyed like Orlando Brown who speaks on it a lot OR just mysteriously killed or almost killed. Singer Al B. Sure, whose son DIddy adopted, allued to the fact that Diddy played a role in his 2022 coma. Even Jamie Foxx (who was always at Diddy's parties) hinted at the fact that Diddy was behind is recent "medical scare." And most recently you have Fonzworth Bently (Diddy's manservant and aspiring record producer) and Bryshere Gray from Empire fame who had a promising music career from his debut album then he just disappeared from Hollywood. There is a music producer, Lil' Rod now who is also suiing Diddy from drugging and raping him, who is a part of the current federal investigation. Lil' Rod was hired to document Diddy's life but he recorded EVERYTHING. Both he and Cassie are cooperating with the feds now and have tesitifed before a Grand Jury in the southern district of NY against Diddy in preparation for the charges that will soon be brought against him.
So a leopard doesn't change its spots. So I am sure JLo is familiar with what DIddy requires, even carrying weapons for him as she was doing on the 1999 club shooting which might lead to her being shown as accessory in attempted murder and brought up on charges of lying to a Grand Jury.

R212, with the recent Diddy revelations, there are a lot of rappers, singers who are now now known to be gay. I find it amazing, and a bit comforting that these revelations aren't salacious front page news. It's more like "and, so what...?" But Jamie Foxx yes. Clive Davis, Rick Ross, DJ Khalid, Usher. Oh, and Kris Kardashine's boyfriend. I forget his name. I don't think Justin Beiber is gay, I think he was sexually abused. That's why many of these young stars go off the rails dealing with the trauma, like he did.
r211 this is all very very recent. It all started back in December with Cassie's 60 page lawsuit, which came with a "Trigger Warning" before reading and for which Diddy settled within a matter of 24 hours. So there is no telling the affect it will have on the careers that they Usher and Beiber might have left. BUT most of the stars, all of whom partied wtih Diddy, are remaining very very quiet now to see if their names pop up, if the feds contact them to question them. They have no idea what is on the treasure trove of videos the Feds confiscated from Diddy's two homes in Miami and LA. Even Amy Schumer (who was present on a yacht the weekend Justin, DIddy's son sexually assaulted a crew memeber) is wrapped up in the mess, all types of celebs you wouldn't even imagine. Supposedly even Diddy would fuck all the girls his boys had a crush on and then pass them off to his sons. Diddy made Cassie fuck his sons. And it's rumored his adopted son is gay and participated in the Freak-Offs with Diddy. So on top of all of it Diddy has an incest/under age thing going on. His kids must be so fucked up.
It is rumored that JLo is helping Diddy with some of his legal fees. And this is the main reason she was attempting to get TikTok accounts shut down and bullied, (so no one would talk about 1999 and her involvement), which was behind the death of that recent TikToker and her cancer battle she lost.
I think the Feds have been after Diddy for a long, long time for all of the sex, drug and gun trafficking they might have against him. His private jet would often fly between the Caribbean and the States without him on it, even though he was on the manifest. A lot of times to Belize, where the man who took the fall for the 1999 shooting, Shyne is some political representative now. So they feel he was moving guns, drugs and trafficking men and woman this way.

She’s still trying to push her 1990’s diva persona, which people are sick of by now. She has no redeeming qualities. She could be doing charitable work, but doesn’t. She could go to the grocery or drug store without an entourage or hair & makeup session in advance, but it’s always an event.

If you’ve ever been around her type, they will even go to the beach with a fully made-up face that disguises their true monstrous form. It’s a mask to cloak the hate and ugliness.
The gig is up for JLo, though, as she can do absolutely nothing about her horizontal pear growth. Not even Benjamin Moore can cloak this horror. She looks more like a Weeble every day. Her face is getting wider as well.
When her true ugliness is unleashed, it’s like the wails of millions of stubby, hairy, envious Latinas worldwide scream in unison, their fire and hatred exploding like red beans in a pressure cooker.

I don’t understand the whole Rihanna thing.
First of all, Rihanna was a singles artist. She had a hard time doing 2 things - selling albums and selling tickets for her concerts.
Those are 2 pretty huge things you need in order to be validated as a successful artist.
At Rihanna’s height with “Good Girl Gone Bad”, she was only able to push about 2 million after like 7 singles and a re-release!
Rihanna has sold like 200 million worldwide and about 190 million of that are 99 cent singles.
Her concerts performed so poorly, she was stuck in a cycle of touring to pay off the last tour.
Her last album got off to a ROCKY start - “4 5 Seconds” was a flop, “Bitch Better Have My Money” flopped and so did “American Oxygen”. Her team had to go back to the drawing board and Drake saved her with “Work”.
And again, her last tour was a flop as well. Tons of empty seats.
Rihanna left because of 2 reasons
She was sick of being a workhorse like Britney for her record company.
And second, she was disposable pop and the longer she waited between releases, the more other disposable pop acts got hold of the radio.
She does not have the album sales or tour sales Beyonce or Taylor Swift have. Not even close.

Thank you for stopping just short of calling Rihanna a lazy black person, r255. People from the Caribbean are no lazier than anyone else.

R294 You're actually showing your own racism with that response. "Black" is not a nationality, ethnicity, or monolith culture. If I had cheekily espoused some cultural stereotype about a German or Danish person, would you have assumed I was extending that stereotype to all white people and gotten offended on their behalf? Unlikely.
I spent seven months in Barbados in my early 30's and shit is sloooow there. EVERYTHING is slow. It takes a half hour to get your food in a drive through line. It takes hours to open a bank account. Businesses open and close whenever they feel like it. They call it "island time". I called it maddening. Lovely, warm people...but slow as molasses.
Also, Rihanna is mixed race, and Barbados has one of the largest white populations in the Caribbean. 'Fenty' means 'poor white'.

You didn't call barbados slow, r295. You said she had that Caribbean attitude of wanting the best life possible for the least amount of work. We all know what that means. You may as well have called her a lazy n word.

Rihanna is lazy. She had a horrible voice at the beginning of her career but she improved it and sounded pretty good around 2008 but then she started to be a weed addict and ruined it. Now she sounds like a horse and looks weird because of all the partying.

Say what you want about Rihanna but she is lazying her eay into millions a year for work she did almost two decades ago.
She's not like JLo desperately putting her own money into her PR campaign that is clearly revealing she isn't relevant anymore. And touring empty arenas for her flop of a tour and memorizing scripts for flops of movies. And forcing her 50yo pear body as a sex symbol that 50 is the new 30.

She's sort of like Cher in that she's been around a long time and has done a little bit of everything. The difference between her and Cher though is that J.Lo doesn't have a likeable personality or a sense of humor about herself. Personality-wise, she's more like Madonna.
Her career was pretty much over by the time she married Marc Anthony but then she has a comeback with American Idol and she's been everywhere ever since. I think the public tuned her out after a while. Unlike most celebrities, she doesn't re-invent herself. She's had the same style since 1999 and that shit gets boring.
I agree that she should have focused more on acting/being a TV personality than a pop star. Flaunting her relationship with Ben was a bad move. He's not popular anymore. Younger people only know him as the asshole husband from Gone Girl.
Rihanna has been successful because she has a fun personality. She was smart to dip out of the music industry once she hit her 30s. Other pop stars should take note. Rihanna is more popular with the younger crowd because she's relatable.

Agree with everything that has been said. A big problem for her is that is not likable or relatable. She peaked MANY years ago around the time of the movie "Out of Sight." Since then, it's been a steady decline. Yes, she did the Super Bowl halftime, but she seemed heavy footed and was eclipsed by Shakira during that performance. Her movies and music are bad. She didn't even sing on her early albums, which is a major red flag and shows her delusion. The recent "documentary" on her was a complete flop. Plus the marriage to Ben Affleck has just come across as a desperate PR move. He's an alcoholic, and she's desperate for attention - of course they will divorce. I think she struck a deal with the devil for her early success, and now karma has caught up with her and she is over.

Yes it was all PR and Ben ruined it because at the Gen Z event "the Grammys", he looked bored and left a bad impression. If he had only smiled after every song, Gen Z would have respected that PR couple more. I am saddened that Jlo flopped because she along with many other singers, wanted to bring the early superior 2000s (1999-2004) sound of music back but now she failed with that.

A huge part is that she’s devoid of talent. You can put up with the Barbra diva-shit because she’s phenomenally talented. J.Lo has always been nothing but tits and ass. She’s not an artist. She’s solely a product. That’s past its expiration date.
Add in the fact that she’s notorious for treating everyday people like shit and you have the perfect recipe for a celebrity you love to hate.

Ghettos were used for the Jews when during the middle ages and after, they were locked into a certain part of town to be kept in at night. It became synonymous with a group of people locked in a particular area, whether with an actual padlock or through economic, social or legal methods. Here in America, the urban areas that black were allowed to live in, trapped in, were akin to the original Jewish Ghettos in Europe.
