Jennifer Lopez in Concert

I'm not really a Jennifer Lopez fan but I have to admit that I was very impressed when I saw her live in Puerto Rico. Besides from having a totally glamorous and lovely image (that we gay people love) she also could sing. I didn't think she would be that fabulous! And when she sang "I Could Fall In Love" as a Tribute to the late singer Selena I almost cried. So beautiful... That concert made me start to listen to Selena and I'm very thankful for that.

Last night I stayed up until 12:50am watching J-Lo Live In Puerto Rico on Channel 4.

Recently I've heard/read people insulting Jennifer's singing, saying stuff like it's not very strong, and also female singers also seem to sound a bit rough and shouty live (Christina Aguilera) also put me off, so I have to admit, although I love Jennifer a lot and ahe's my favourite artist, I wasn't expecting much from her voice live.

Hell was I wrong. From the moment "Lets Get Loud" kicked in and she came down the stairs singing I was hooked and didn't want it to ever end. I was blown away. She sounded brilliant, and I think the fact that she's also an actress doesn't get her as much recognition for this, as most singers/actresses are stereotyped as not being good at one or the other. It was fantastic. The songs sounded even better with the live band. The choreography was just great - done by her husband Cris, but I would have liked to have seen him on stage with her, when they're on stage together they work really well and feed off each other. I seriously couldn't fault it, it was just excellent. It's coming out on DVD soon, I'm going to buy it! I really hope she does a UK tour and I'll be the first to get tickets if she does!

She can't sing live - basically all her singing was on tape - and the whole concert was more about this so-called artist showing off her latest outfits and wigs and watching her get off on herself than J.Lo and her musicians trying to bring something real and genuine to the audience. The whole show is pathetic and embarrassing and I couldn't see one genuine and uncalculated emotion in her performance. Jennifer Lopez makes, well, Destiny's Child seem deep and profound in comparison.

When she sings her voice just sounds like her talking tone you know, i think shes a great actress And whatever! she says she hasn't had anything done to her face Yeah right

Although I was rather critical about her musical skills I was still too curious to miss her first musical performance and I have to admit: it was not that bad as I expected! Especially the song "I could fall" (her tribute to "Selena") was quite emotional. You still have to say that her audience really admired her - that's maybe the reason they planned the concert in Puerto Rico, where JLo has her roots. Jennifer Lopez will sure not be my favourite concert act but she does definitely not only look nice....I give a 6 out of 10!
