JLo Kicks Off “It’s My Party” Tour!

Jennifer Lopez kicked off the “It’s My Party” tour with two sold out shows at The Forum outside Los Angeles, CA on Friday and Saturday! The tour is already getting rave reviews:

“This is definitely one of those tours worth splurging the hundreds of dollars on floor seats to witness up-close-and-personal this type of talent.” – Los Angeles Daily News

“This may be a concert, but it is full of passion, heart and all that J. Lo charm.” – Billboard

“Nearly every performance was a dazzling spectacle in itself, featuring lavish production numbers and more dancers than one could count with the occasional pyrotechnics and fireworks thrown in for good measure.” – Variety

The first show also featured a very special duet – Jennifer performed “Limitless” with her daughter, Emme! Jennifer posted a video on Instagram.

Ahead of the show the Los Angeles Times reported on rehearsals and published behind the scenes photos. You will note that Jennifer and her dancers are wearing GUESS clothing as part of their recently announced partnership. The exclusive Jennifer Lopez for GUESS “It’s My Party” tour collection is now available at GUESS.com.

‘On The 6’ Turns 20!

JLo’s ‘On The 6’ was released 20 years ago today! 20 years ago, I saw the “If You Had My Love” music video and INSTANTLY became a JLover! Jennifer has inspired me every single day since. Watching her pursue her goals, fight for her worth, strive to always be the best, and get back up when she’s been knocked down has helped me do the same in my own life. I can’t overstate what an impact she’s had on my life all these years and I’m so proud to call myself a JLover forever!

Billboard interviewed Jennifer and key collaborators Tommy Mottola, Rodney Jerkins, Benny Medina and Cory Rooney about the album and that period of time. Here’s a short excerpt:

When former Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez decided she wanted to pursue a proper music career, she was just coming off her starring role as Selena Quintanilla-Pérez in the 1997 musical biopic Selena. But she faced plenty of skeptics — even after landing a record deal with Sony. “She wasn’t hearing it, though,” says longtime manager Benny Medina. “It would be like, wait a minute, don’t you understand? This is a girl that popped off In Living Color to become Selena — why would you ever second guess she couldn’t step out there and be J.Lo?”

Jennifer also marked the occasion on Instagram!
