JLo slayage at the BBMAs: performances and Icon Award

It was Jennifer Lopez night during the annual Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas yesterday! The Latin powerhouse first strutted the red carpet in a red Donna Karan dress and opened the award show with her favorite collaborator Pitbull, performing their World Cup song ‘We Are One (Ole Ola)’ for the very first time, with Claudia Leitte. Jenn wore a sparkly golden outfit.

Ricky Martin and Iggy Azalea introduced triple threat JLo. Before she hit the stage an intro video played mentioning her accomplishments and celebs like Britney Spears, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Ryan Seacrest, Cameron Diaz and others raving about her. After that Jennifer took the stage herself to perform ‘First Love’ for the very first time. She showed the world what a power house she is on stage and amazed them with amazing live vocals. Right after the performance Jennifer got honored with the Icon Award for all her accomplishments in the industry with her being the first female to receive the award and the 4th artist overall.

Jennifer touched the hearts of many with her emotional speech thanking us, her fans, friends, family, business partners and loved ones. She has always been our icon but now she can add this title officially to her already impressive list of accomplishments. We all witnessed entertainment history! Our very own Heather was there in person so check back here for her recap of the night.

Jennifer rocks Powerhouse

Jennifer kicked off her First Love/A.K.A. promo tour in Anaheim, California on Saturday. The event was hosted by LA’s urban radio station Power 106. For the occasion Jennifer dressed up urban and street, for the mainly urban crowd.

JLo opened her set with the infectious Get Right. She also did classics Jenny From The Block, a medley of the I’m Real and Ain’t It Funny remixes and closed her set with I Luh Ya Papi. She even did a little preview of the hyped track Big Booty.

New single coming early 2014

MTV had a little one on one session with RedOne recently. We all know he produced Jennifer’s monster smash On The Floor, and her singles Papi, Dance Again and Live It Up. His record label 2101 Records, which is part of Capitol Records, has Jennifer under its wing.

In the interview Nadir, his real name, revealed that a new Jennifer Lopez single will be released in early 2014! After spending months in the studio it seems like JLo is ready to storm the charts again next year.

Speaking of studio sessions, Jennifer recorded music with Detail, the producer behind Beyoncé’s Drunk In Love, Kelly Rowland’s Ice and Lil Wayne’s How To Love to name a few.

We are extremely excited to hear what Jennifer has been preparing for us in the recording booth. The lead single of her highly anticipated Album #10 seems to hit the airwaves soon.

 

possible JLo feature on wiz khalifa album

A Swedish journalist met up with rapper Wiz Khalifa during his brief stay in Stockholm. They discussed his upcoming album ‘Blacc Hollywood’, due out later this year. Wiz said that he is working with several female popstars for his record since he prefers that instead of other rappers. He revealed he worked with Adele, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and our very own Jennifer Lopez. It is still uncertain which collaborations will make the final cut of the album at this point.

The Khalifa/JLo track might be produced by Afrojack since both artists were in the studio working with the DJ at the same time early this year.
