Supposedly J Lo stole the show at the Inauguration

[quote] Supposedly J Lo stole the show at the Inauguration

She also stole the curtains, the carpet, and the silverware too.

Damn Puerto Ricans.

Mariah says no.

JLo is a woman POC and that article is from Buzzfeed. So of course they praised it.

I don't know her.

She was ghastly. WTF

I loved her and her performance. She was a goddess and sounded great. I like Gaga a lot but J Lo was a class act. Loved her nod to Madam VP Harris, too.

[quote] J Lo was a LOW class act

There, I fixed it for you.

No, OP. OK, but hardly stole the show.

Gaga far exceeded expectations: our national anthem is not an easy song to sing.

[quote] J Lo stole the show at the Inauguration

Did Joe rip off her bra ?

I found Jlo pleasant but uninspired. Like always.

Her voice just isn't that great, but she is gorgeous.

Gaga, JLo and Garth were all excellent today. It's not easy to sing live outdoors in the cold, but they sounded flawless. Much better than Aretha's performance at the Obama inauguration.

JLo laid to rest all the rumors that she couldn't sing live.

She sounded better than I’ve ever heard her sing, but she’s still not a real singer...I wonder if she was lip syncing?

Who sang for her?

I didn't think for a second JLo was singing live. There was definitely a backing track along with the band.

Best plastic surgery ever...one of very few who has gotten better looking with age...overall lousy vocalist, but sounded better than I’ve ever heard her...

She didn’t steal anything but I will say I was holding my breath all the way through.

Verdict: she didn’t stink

Does anyone know what she said in Spanish?

She said she doesn't partake of Botox hence the genuine frowning.

I’ll give her credit, she was good as she has been since Waiting for Tonight/Out Of Sight.

I believe every performance was lip synced.

I did not like that JLo incorporated "Let's Get Loud" only because I believe an inauguration is not a time for self-promotion. But I am a purist when it comes to tradition. Although, I did like the Spanish since the song is about inclusion.

All three sang beautifully.

Let's be honest, JLo sounded a lot better than Mariah would have.

She looked OOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDD but at least we didn't have to look at her navel.

Yes op where is the praise you're saying? The media always kisses her ass for some reason. She doesn't sing her own music BTW she's been outed as having ghost singers like selena gomez.

Those forehead filler furrows

She gave a good performance, her voice is pretty and strong.

Lady Gaga knocked my socks off. She was stunning.

The young poet was supurb.

R26 her shrill voice is hardly strong lmao.

[quote]I missed it. Was she as good as everyone is claiming?

If only it were on YouTube

She just seems so budget.

Just saw it, she totally lipped that. Sounds like pre recorded playback.

People LIKED Garth, sauntering out as a slob to sing "Amazing Grace."???? Donnez-moi une BREAK!!!!

None of them were lip syncing today and there was no backup audio. Today was a very stripped-down version of AV due to security measures.

J lo PR working hard

R32 sure jan

LOL. J. Lo is a light-skinned mestiza who is mostly European and considered and treated as white in most of Latin America. She is only considered POC because of America's racist One-Drop Rule which is also why Obama was considered "Black".

And ironically, Selena who J. Lo portrayed in film was a brown-skinned mestiza who looked more Indigenous than white. I feel like many Mexicans considered that "white-washing" because J. Lo looks like the rich whites in Mexico who live in the gated communities of the North.

She looks African in the OP pic.

R35R36 Alright, whatever you say. I guess J. Lo is white.

J. Lo tans heavily. She has some Native American facial features but her light skin and hair texture is enough to have her considered "white" in Latin America. Color in Latin America is much more literal.

J Lo isn’t white.

I thought it was beautiful to see a Puerto-Rican/American represented on stage. Since the last time we saw Trump around one, he was tossing him a roll of paper towels.

I didn't care for her performance, she didn't embarrass herself however...

She’s one of those people who hasn’t had a hit song in years yet she keeps getting invited to high profile gigs for some reason (this, the Super Bowl last year, etc).

It was 100% lip sang.

[quote] Does anyone know what she said in Spanish?

"Avenge Santa Ana "

I was disappointed she didn't climb up on a pole.

She was the tackiest looking person there.

She looked wonderful in white Chanel. To those who say she’s had work done, her chicken pox marks are still there. Voice was much better than I expected. Then she had to inject that extinct hit of hers (so it wasn’t even a commercial move) into the coda of her patriotic rendition. That was tacky, the moment in Spanish would have been powerful enough. She didn’t need to argue with a chaotic cry to have people get loud (the one thing we don’t need).

Segue, not argue

....

That was completely lip synched then cut to a live mic for a brief moment.

That white Chanel suit was not a great choice. But she was fine. It was a great day. If you look at who really stole the show according to social media, Amanda Gorman most certainly did.

With her paper-thin voice & inability to project any modicum of emotion or might, had I been her I would have faked sudden dire sickness before facing the embarrassment of taking the stage after Lady Gaga. J.Lo was awful, but just like anything with her, she just shows up to hear how good Twitter says she looks "for her age". Poor thing understands that that's her only contribution anymore.

Please, jlo would be considered an "india" in Latin America, which is a racist term asholes use in Latin America when one is not white passing or white.

My pussy stinks.

R55 j.flop is a mega hasbeen

[quote] Does anyone know what she said in Spanish?

R18, she said “One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I thought she looked fierce. She sounded good, too, but it seemed too good...I.e., lip-synced. She definitely had at least a sweetening track in addition to the military band because there were audible strings in the accompaniment.

Jello was about as exciting as her namesake, and not one of the good flavors.

I'm still perplexed why they chose her. Curious to see who they shortlisted for that segment. Maybe she's not even the first choice?

Is Mariah talking about Trump or JLo?

If there was a low point in the swearing in ceremony, J Lo was it. 'Stole the show"? Hardly.

I guess between her and Selena I would take Jlo, but maybe they could have the actress from the Selma Miniseries come and say it’s a hologram instead?

Joe's victory depended a lot on the Latinx community (except for the simps in south Florida). He's going to do a lot for them, including fixing Trump's immigration debacle.

JLo was there for diversity.

I think it would have sounded a lot better if she’d benefitted from lip syncing.

Lady Gaga was fantastic, no comparison. And I'm not a fan,.

Stop the steal!

Best parts of JLo's performance

* Singing "this land was made for you and me" while being Latina

* Evita-like yelling in Spanish

BECAUSE JLo provoked a MAGA-breakdown. See the woman below crying, begging Trump to come back because "it's our land" "it's our country" and to "please save us from the devil"

JLo brought the world together.

Thank you, Miss Lopez.

Bright Sunshine is not a friend to the face of Ms. Lopez.

Gaga definitely shined brightest. But JLo was better than I expected.

She was no Jackie Evancho!

Why didn't she sing "My Cunt'ry 'Tis of Thee" like Sister Ree did for Obama and then flash Joe and Kampala her beaver?

Well, she didn’t dance on a pole, so...no.

OP, Ashanti provided the vocals, she just lip synched so she was fine.

R18, the Spanish bit was some last minute directions she shouted out to the Honduran migrant caravans.

Poet laureate stole the show, no question. Definitely not JLo.

Jlo is an embarrassment

Ol' JLo did cover her tits, belly and ass, so, well, there's that.

More impressed with Gaga’s performance.

The poet did. Truth.

This Land Is Your Land was something we sang in grade school.

She managed her one note well.

R8, Whose expectations? Most people know she's an awesome singer (that's why she was chosen, duh).

JLO spoke Spanish and made Deplorables cry and that alone elevates her to icon status. Her performance makes history. Sorry Gaga and Garth.

She stole Dump's fake tanner.

J Lo was great. She has a very pretty voice that is nice to listen to with limited range.... She did a more than what i thought she was capable of. Always thought of her kinda like Janet or Paula. Nice voice for pop, no range whatsoever.

R67 MAGA snowflake's mega meltdown.

I was pleasantly surprised by her performance. She looked gorgeous and sang much better than I expected. Overall it was a great performance by Lady Gaga, JLo and the poet was the cherry on top.

sorry but Jlo has zero talent. she must have major blackmail material on powerful people. And she is not fit. she's fat. but the papers will kiss her ass and say she's in amazing shape etc...

gaga, no jlo stole the show.

Gaga’s tempo changes were annoying. AND the mid-Atlantic affectations—is that new?

R43 She was invited because she represents an 'acceptable' minority for a situation like today. Now that the Jacksons are long gone, it's hard to find a minority performer that won't offend middle America.

I dunno, I rather like Lady Gaga better. There's something very endearing about her wackiness.

The horror of having J-Lo over, say, Taylor Dayne. You know it chaps every last Trump and Trump-spouse that they never got to mingle with anyone above the Z-list.

JLo’s makeup person must be the same as Plump’s. Shockingly hideous.

JLo and Gaga were OK, but uninspiring IMHO. I prefer my singers to have stronger voices, like Riri or Audra Mcdonald.

She has an average voice frankly, but was professional. She looked fine, she's done some good acting work, and she's famous, so she gets a pass. Garth sounded kind of average too. Gaga was very good, though no one compares to Whitney Houston.

I assume JLo had a backing track just because she nodded for them to begin the song. Garth didn't do that, and I missed Gaga. JLo and ARod were in hog heaven talking to the Obamas and Clintons afterwards as well.

Her and gaga are desperate fame sluts, only difference is gaga is talented and this cheap ho is not.

I remember kelly clarkson from years back her performance was memorable

Obvious lip synching! Listen to the band at the beginning. It sounded like they turned on a recording.

I preferred Gaga, but the person who really stole the show was Amanda Gorman, the poet who closed the proceedings so brilliantly.

She's a great performer, not a great singer. But she did better than I expected her to and I'm glad she was included to trigger the maggots.

They were all very, very good, and you know Trump was watching and FUMING all the way to Mar a Lardo.

She was great. I’m not impressed by Gaga. She’s too try hard. J-lo really got the convos going from what I hear. Of course the poet then stole the show. Garth was ehhh. He really can’t sing. Men never get raked over the coals for their vocals. J-lo vocals >>>>>>> Garth. When all was said and done though, it was having Kamala sworn in as the first female Vp that was memorable, followed by Biden then the poet.

The woman is 60. She’s looks spectacular

I loved JLo mainly because she surprised the hell out of me. She can really sing!

I actually like Garth Brooks too.

51 not 60...

I thought Ashanti sings all her songs, and JLo just lipsyncs to the recording?

Did the bitch forget she was going to be in direct sunlight ? That makeup was caked on . The white dress made it even more noticeable . I was surprised,she used to dress so flawlessly before she started her whore phase the last few years.

I assumed her outfit was off the rack from Kohl's.

r106 you are one shady bitch. You know she's only 57.

JLo sang a medley. A medley is two or more songs joined together musically. I can't believe that none of you know this.

She found a way to sneak in a few sexy moaning notes. Because she’s a sexy cougar and don’t you forget it.

She’s 57 and apparently, she’s white now..

Look younger than gaga

She did well, especially the last part. Dressed appropriately. Well done.

She didn't mess up. I was praying that she sounded decent and she did. The bar was low and she crossed it.

She didn't steal the show but sounded alright. I think a lot of people and not just me didn't want her to sound awful so all people talked about was her. She had one NY Bronx girl out burst at the end but it was fine.

The poet was a disappointment for me. Not only was her poem full of generalized cliches but she, like many others over the process of this election season, has neglected to remember & acknowledge history & progress. American history did not begin with Donald Trump nor was it kickstarted with Kamala Harris. Progress was made before his term as President. Shirley Chisolm ran for President, Geraldine Ferraro & Sarah Palin were VPs on major party tickets & Barrack Obama was indeed black. Kamala Harris is merely an extension of progression, not the beginning, as so many have liked to see her achievement as. Democracy wasn't destroyed when Trump "took" office, nor was it restored when Harris was asked to run with Biden. Democracy was neglected & undermined by anyone who failed to vote in 2016, then spent the next 4 years bitching about the election outcome. Neglecting to recognize actual progression & not participating in your democracy is really your choice to give another Trump another chance. 2016-2020 was a period that American voters should learn from. Let's see. America is on the right track & moving forward, even if after correcting its course by voting Trump out. Anyone who can't/doesn't recognize this is really just in the fucking way, left or right.

Dont rip my head off, but vocally doesn't sound a bit like Diana Ross?

Diana Ross isn’t a big voice but it is pleasant and works. I don’t need a big voice it just has to work. J-Lo’s did today. Good for her. She caused quite a stir.

R122 she tried

Looks like those JLo Beauty products aren’t as good as she claims they are, R25.

She did an excellent job, imho given that she’s not a “real” vocalist like Celine Dion. I was quite pleasantly surprised that she was able to use vibrato.

Mariah on the other hand, is now old, fat, ugly can’t dance and now can’t sing. 😂 jlo knows her weaknesses and learn how to improve her skills and I admire her for that

J Lo was fine; far better than expected. Gaga was a bit melodramatic in rendition and dress but how else can one sign that song. She definitely was the one stealing the show. Garth was good but I’ve heard him in better voice. All much more than satisfactory.

She looked nervous.

Jlo doesn’t sing live ever. Trust.

haggard looking white latina but is so ghetto that she can pass for POC (with the help of Trump esque bronzer)

The woman has no discernable talents, but the bitch hustles. I'll give her that.

And ....yes Selena had more talent in her pinky.

R128 LOL

r128:

I watched Hustlers the other day; it’s just one big showcase on how hot Jlo is. Pose and part her lips over and over.

I agree.

Ashanti sounded decent yes.

This:

r119, I thought she had seen Hamilton one to many times.

Why won’t she go away? She hasn’t had a hit song or album in years, her movies are mediocre and always overhyped with disappointing results...yet she still gets treated like an A-lister.

She stole the show, did she? This ghetto bitch is from the Bronx and has been shoplifting and stealing stuff since she was two.

R137 gaga stans are pissed she stole a lot of her thunder so they lash.

JLo looked gorgeous in all-white, but she didn't steal the show. All of the singers were good but not great. The person who stole the show was Amanda Gorman.

Let's give her credit where it's due: it's clear she's been working on her singing over the last year or so. She sounds so much better and different than she used to. She's probably reflected on her career & knows that her early vocals were not good at all. We've seen & heard the YouTube exposès: she had a thin, unimpressive voice and relied way too much on other people's vocals to support (and sometimes substitute for) her own. She has nothing to lose and I wouldn't be surprised if she's been working with a voice teacher. She should keep it up, because it's doing her good.

She liped it dumbass

Definitely singing from a track. Notice when Garth followed her, you could hear some natural live reverb. Shockingly, she managed to “sing” without any! Also, notice the tell tale positioning of her mic in front of her mouth so it’s hard to see where she is off...

Still, I thought she need a nice job, even recognizing she had some enhancement in the studio.

I admit I only saw a very little bit of it at the beginning. I really had to whiz and didn't want to miss Joe taking the oath.

It must have gone fast because I was surprised I missed that much of it when I got back to the TV.

I guess I can check it out on yt

I'd rather JLo perform than the tiresome Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Not only did she lip sync the whole performance up until it cut to a live mic at the end, that prerecorded singing wasn't even her. That's not her voice. She totally Milli Vanilli-ed that.

Martha Wash was probably shaking her damned head after that

They all sucked.

Booking Information: 1-833-DRS-DOWN

Who was that fascinating young poet? She stole the show!

[quote]The woman has no discernable talents, but the bitch hustles. I'll give her that.

Yep, that's all you need to know about J Lo.

Was it really Donna Murphy singing?
