JLo Dazzles and Divides at AMAs with High-Energy Performance
Jennifer Lopez returned to host the American Music Awards last night, nearly a decade after her last hosting gig. The multi-hyphenate star kicked off the show with a dynamic performance featuring a medley of hits, including “On the Floor.” Clad in a sparkling, mostly-nude catsuit, Lopez commanded the stage with her signature blend of singing and dancing.
In a pre-show interview, the three-time AMA winner reflected on the significance of the awards show in her career, stating that it “has been such a big part of my music journey and history.” She promised an evening celebrating the year’s best music moments.
However, Lopez’s opening number sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some praised her energy and showmanship, others criticized the performance as “desperate” and “over the top.”
Comments ranged from accusations of an “attention-seeking” performance and a “mid-life crisis” to concerns about the appropriateness of her attire and dance moves for her age. Several users called the performance “cringey” and questioned Lopez’s judgment.
The online debate continues to highlight the polarized opinions surrounding the star’s high-octane return to the AMAs stage.
