Jennifer Lopez - Motown Tribute (Grammys 2019)

She's a great performer. She deserves at least one grammy

@@nunymar8933 Just STOP you just mad that you can get what she has right now that's exactly what's wrong with this world now. Maybe just MAYBE if you would STOP HATING you would be able to.

[@therarebreed]

Absolutely. To those saying no, you do realize she's already been nominated for 2 Grammy's and 2 Latin Grammy's? She's already a Grammy-nominated singer. Even if she doesn't win a competitive Grammy, she's eligible for the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award like Diana Ross did in 2012. And since we are on topic, she deserved the Grammy in 2001 for "Let's Get Loud". The fact that "Who Let The Dogs Out" won over her considering it was one of the worst songs of the year by multiple publications is not only tragic but also a disgrace from the academy. So to those who are saying no, don't talk to me about taste when countless legends and icons have no Grammy's.

The organizers wanted exactly her - shine, good singing, a show. That's what they got. I have to ask again when Diana Ross sang in the style of Jennifer Hudson, for example. Diana Ross is Motown, right? Tribute. Which part is hard for you to understand. It's not a competition, it's not a singing contest ... it's a tribute. They invited Jennifer to do a nice shiny show, because it's Motown, too. And she is excellent at it.

Yup! Motown was more about the singing than the dancing, it was about feeling the music ( voices/song/lyrics) through your bones.. Diana Ross didn’t bounce around the stage , her voice did, she just swayed and her tubes belted out music that touched your soul, Tina Marie, oh my gosh , that little woman shook you with her voice, not her butt!

Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and several other people who can give justice to Motown are in the audience and they still chose J.Lo. I am not hating on J.Lo because J.Lo is not the problem, it's the people who chose her because she just doesn't have the background or ability to put soul wc motown requires. I bet she knows that too, she just agreed to do cuz of that check and a chance to get at least nominated. Can you believe the last grammy nom she had was back in 2001?

[@camr9465]

What is this b.s. y’all are delusional. She is so off key for Motown. The fact that there are barely any black performers including her is a slap in the face. The beautiful brown women that have paved the way for Motown. If a black woman had played Selina it would have been World War III. I am just stating facts that this was not a good or soulful performance. I am not anti J-Lo but this was unacceptable for such an iconic team of performers. Putting a salsa section is even more disrespectful.

[@therarebreed]

Yup! Berry Gordy chose her; the founder of Motown. Everyone else can pretty much seethe. She not have been the best choice, but I think they wanted someone who can PERFORM. And she's one of the best in the game. Plus, they did a whole Grammy Motown special a few weeks after this award show. There was literally no reason to be upset over a 6 minute performance that slayed.

[@sbrownie]

This was as criminal as her involvement with that club shooting.

[@goldensilenceakagoldielove133]

I think she did good. Whoever chose her...they were making SOME kind of a statement. IDK WHAT, when Neo, or Alicia Keyes, Smokey, or many others could have handled the Tribute. Still, JLo did a great job! She sung in tune; she danced; she gave call outs; she looked great: WHAT MORE Y'ALL WANT? Diana Ross wasn't terribly "soulful," nor was Martha & the Vandellas. Motown was "cross-over Pop," made for EVERYONE to sing. THAT was the whole point: you weren't SUPPOSE to sound like Aretha! As a matter of fact, Berry Gordy declined the invitation to SIGN Aretha, because he didn't want Motown music sounding TOO soulful! Check your history, and give JLo a break; she did good.

Let’s not forget about The Temptations, Jackson 5, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Stevie, and Smokey.They all sang with soul. Diana Ross and the Supremes were definitely packaged to cross over but most of the artist were soul singers. Aretha’s father didn’t want her with Motown.

However, a headliner for a tribute needs to make SOME sense.

?????? What did she do except shake her butt and show it off? What is wrong with people?

[@donovananderson4072]

Me personally, I enjoyed it and I’m a black man!! We know that Jlo is Latina…we know that she isn’t “ the Voice”…however, we also know that she looks amazing and is an amazing performer! Can we just appreciate the artistry and not always make it a race thing! We know what Motown was created for! Music is love, music is life…let’s not make it a monster by always judging WHOS singing WHAT!!! Cause we certainly didn’t have an issue in the 90s and early 2000s when she was singing hip hop & rnb music…dating Diddy…etc etc etc…! I love Jlo and whatever she performs!! Now I’m about to go watch Enough! 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's you and your choice. You don't speak for everyone. Nor do I. Bottom line:She is NOT a soul singer or a r&b singer for that matter. Never has been and never will be.

Fantastic comment. I couldn't agree more

Here come the brotha speaking up for the not melanated as usual… 🤔

[@itsdekontee7950]

Look how this aged lmfao

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

Of course you co-sign it. It was black men who put her up there and made her what she was. Let me correct that them and Selena 😂

[@Laura_N_Nengo]

She slayed this performance haters gonna hate but she did them justice

[@erinwilliams57]

Definitely appreciate the Teena Marie tribute. One of my favorite female R&B singers and never got the recognition she deserved. Great job Jlo!

[@lelandwilliams1089]

Now she could sing. She would have put J Lo to shame. Teena Marie had two things that J Lo will never have. A powerful voice and soul. No auto tune with her.

Who else is here because of TS Madison "j lo aint motown but she singing motown" vid ? 😂

[@kaleychase1846]

I thought Jennifer did fantastic. I mean other than Beyonce there's no one else that could do it. Mariah doesn't dance and no one else has the clout or talent from the younger generation. People should open their minds a lot more.

[@dannydaniel8975]

Fantasia could have easily pulled this off

[@prette222]

janelle was sitting right in the audience, chloe bailey, fantasia

[@muvaofpearl]

She's lipsyncing here... Likely yet another better singer, as she built her career on. For those giving her *credit*.

[@devoneking]

Who think she is lip syncing?

[@nancyc6836]

Right??? Definitely not her at all

[@sbrownie]

Duh😂

[@nizjus3234]

Vocals are not live don't you see that??

[@salfra4476]

amazing!!!
