Jennifer Lopez is Divalicious Without Talent

You would be surprised to hear that I actually have no problems with someone like Mariah Carey being a diva when it comes to her performance riders. I think she has earned it. I think Mariah and a few select others can be divas if they want. For as long as time has been around, popular singers have been divas so I'm ok with it. What I don't like is when someone who is not a good singer acts like diva. According to the NY Post, Jennifer Lopez was offered a ton of money to perform in India at a cricket tournament. Anyone offering Jennifer money to come perform a concert should probably be fired, but the organizers tired. They tried hard. Jennifer though wanted a private jet at her beck and call and hotel rooms and live chickens sent to her dressing room every fifteen minutes. Well, maybe not the last part, but it was probably something ridiculous like that which pushed the organizers over the edge who hired Pitbull instead who has apparently been a joy to work with.

    O goodness, she's a bitch and all about the money, but she can deliver once in a while. "On the Floor" was amazing, and she has a dozen tracks that stand up. Is she too much in love with herself? Of course. Does she pay for sex with hot men? Sadly, both in cash and in moments of embarrassment. But I like her. She's pretty, and she's intense.

    Also, I walked down the street next to her once in Miami Beach, and I was struck by her honey-carmel skin and her intense beauty. I thought at the time, "This woman looks like Jennifer Lopez, only blonde" -- and later that day I saw her blonded out in the Herald and I was all like omg. She's awfully pretty.

      I saw her once, at a distance, here in ATL. While I think he talents are very limited, she looked f'ing awesome, and I can honestly state, I'd kill to look that good, at any age. Hard to believe she's in her 40s. Also, while I freely admit Mimi has great talent, I have zero interest in ever hearing her sing, anything. Not my thing, at all. Boooring.

      No, "beckon call," is an example of misheard phrases, incorrectly used. The word "beck" is a shortened form of beckon, and means to silently signal w/ a nod or finger motion. It came into use in the 14th century, a subservient phrase, meaning to be responsive to the person's slightest request, "on call." Now you can use it, Olde English Gangsta-style. :)

    On one of the wedding boards that I frequent, a girl titled a post, "My FMIL [future mother-in-law) has done a complete 360!!!!"

    I wanted to say, "...I think you mean a complete 180...otherwise she's back at the beginning." She was really upset, though, so I thought that would be too trollish.

    J-Lo is gorgeous, but that's about all she has going for her. I did love the Wedding Planner, but I think that was mostly due to Matthew McC's hotness (he was in his prime back then, well and during A Time to Kill)... remember him all sweaty throughout that movie?

    Ugh, a lot of people do the 360 reference. You'd think they would clue in that you're back to where you started with a 360. I can excuse some mistakes, but that one changes my perception of the perp.

    So funny I was just reading this in the DM. According to her "people" Jenny from the block was busy at this time promoting her new album so she could have never been there. Uh huh, riiight..They also mention another story:

    "Lopez also reportedly asked for nine dressing rooms for her 90-strong entourage ahead of an interview with the BBC.

    The NY Post reported that before filming a video for African AIDS victims, the asked for a 45ft trailer, white lilies, yellow roses with a red trim and apple pie."

    Personally cannot stand this woman who thinks everyone has to be at her beckon call a lot. If she did a 360 on her personality I might summon the strength to like her...(Had to join in)

    @Meanie Reese, that's hilarious!

    I hate when people use "irregardless" instead of "regardless." It's not a word! And when people put the apostrophes after acronyms or numbers that don't require them, like "the 1950's." It should be "the 1950s."

    You guys, she's not MV because she can't sing, has no singing double, was always auto tuned within an inch of her life. Her voice is awful in her music, but it's clear that it's her voice, warts and all. MV is about a singer who has a great singer filling in for them, like Milli Vanilla, ,hence the MV, that would cancel out J Lo, who's track singing is horrendous. She has no talent, except dat ass. She's made it on Her looks, the fact that her relationships are always media fodder, her clothing and perfume line were a thing, and the fact that she's latin, that's what she's got going for her, def not the singing. that's not a whole hell of alot to base a career on, but she's done it.

    Lol I love the "beck and call" confusion. Karen, that is so hilarious that your friend misled you. Speaking of "misled," I used to always pronounce it as "MY-zuld" in my head....had no idea that it was the past tense of mislead although I knew it meant something like "fooled" from context. One time I guess I said it out loud and boy, did I never make that mistake again!!! Lol

    @Don'tRain: Welcome to the club! I did the same thing, thinking it was an obscure term for being cheated out of something ("That bastard misled me out of the deal!")

    One thing I don't like is when people use curb instead of kerb. One is to curtail something the other is a footpath.
    Another thing is when people use 'of' instead of 'have'. As in, 'I could of used that' instead of 'I could have used that'.

    @Its Just U

    Are you British, by chance? Because "kerb" isn't used in American English. Curb is used here to mean both "to curtail" and as a raised edge around a street. Maybe you're thrown off by American usage?

    Also, your user name makes me smile considering the grammar aspect of this thread.

    A few years ago I worked with concert promoters in Asia. On a trip to Indonesia to meet a big promoter there to see if there was a way of working together without them ripping us off (there wasn't, so a wasted trip), he told me about the time he'd got Mimi for a gig. The rider stated that no tobacco products were to be listed as sponsors. (Fairly standard, where promoters are able to sell sponsorship, usually it's expected you'd let the artists management know which firms, in case of any conflicts).

    Anyway Mimi arrives at the venue the day before for load in, pre-planning etc. and there are Philip Morris branded products floor to ceiling promoting the show.

    She didn't say anything, just turned around, went back to the airport and flew off. Kind of respected her for that though! I did hear from another promoter that she was great fun (before she got married).
