[@dace3783]

Im gonna be real. It's about the fact that JLo does not have the range, AND because she isn't black. This is a recurring theme happening where nonblack people are used to be in the spotlight even when it is something about black people. We are constantly getting overshadowed and erased from our own history. . This is how they take over our genres. If you look at history, you will know exactly what I'm talking about.. Also, I don't want to hear people saying blacks are overreacting because even though Hispanic/Latina is not a race & there's plenty black latinos, if a black person was going to do a Selena tribute at a high prestige award show such as the grammy's you would see their community coming out complaining and saying all types of stuff to oppose.

Mexican here. I wouldnt mind a nonlatin person doing a Selena tribute(she had many fans of different ethnicities)but they better sing good and not disappoint.

[@asdfghjkl-oo7lv]

Since this is Motown (huge fan here) they should get a black person to tribute. Motown paved the way for blacks (and other ethnicities) to be in the music entertainment business etc. Or like Loni said get a diverse group of artists to do a tribute.

Jose Gray thank you

[@blackmermaid1]

Jose Gray EXACTLY

[@blackmermaid1]

Danelly Mani I would mind. They are white. I want them to be black. Sorry that’s just how I feel

[@paulettestreater6653]

Everytime it's "Us" they're always going somewhere else to get others to be involved. Lonni is right!! I say- No! Especially not Jennifer Lopez!!!! She can't sing not one bit...her acting skills are tremendous, but her singing is not a good sound for me. And for Motown-this will upset my Soul to the high heavens. Please allow us to do Us!! They've taken too much already...still taking. Leave us be! We Love other Artists and everything but stop intruding and including if it is not requested or asked for. We simply should not allow it!! Jennifer Lopes does not qualify singing and or performing in Motown. When I watch Jennifer Lopez performing...I just don't get her because it's all mimicked. She can endure, however all I see is her mimicking Beyoncé. I am not moved or touched in that special kinda way by her singing as well. Keep acting Jennifer Lopez I do love and admire your works and You are Beautiful. Just lay the mic down!

It was Amazing!!! JLo fan here, AND I’M A BLACK Detroiter now what? Need a multi-talented, A-List, MEGA STAR? Call JLo! Who else were you possibly thinking??? Matter of fact, JLo for Super Bowl 2020 & National Anthem.

[@bridgettecox3540]

first of all its not about color jlo cant sing so if you want a non singing cant hit a note ass jlo to represent motown take you bias ass too sleep

[@ooverstreet62]

She can’t sing lol

[@MrKellyELA]

Can’t sing? Where’s your receipts? Cause ole girl STAY performin’ at the MAJOR award shows, not Soul Train. Does 80 million records sold mean can’t sing? How about the Grammy she won that night? Or does being the 1st female to win the BILLBOARD ICON Award (after legends like Stevie Wonder & Prince) mean she can’t sing? Which one? I NEED TO KNOW. Is it the MTV Michael Jackson Vanguard Award? Cause the Grammy’s asked HER to perform & I don’t believe they even cared about what your petty peanut thoughts of her were. And probably because y’all don’t run anything... other than y’all mouths of course. But you don’t get paid like she does to do it so you may as well get ready for work tomorrow & get some business, LITERALLY!

[@edwardmartins9839]

Jazmine Sullivan, Fantasia, JHud, Chris Brown, Trey Songs, Tank, August Alsina..are good

[@bestdailyvideosvevo161]

Jlo was a perfect fit!!!

[@nikkiperrymann5522]

Usher would be a great surprise!

[@oribaraka895]

NO, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COLOR. THE HISPANICS COMMUNITY WOULD NOT ALLOW OUTSIDERS TO COME IN AND DO A TRIBUTE TO ONE OR SOME OF THEIR GREATS WITHOUT THEIR HANDS IN IT, AND RIGHTFULLY SO.

[@MajesticMyronn]

Sam Smith & Adele are TECHNICALLY R&B artists because of the style of R&B they sing which is Contemporary , come on now y'all... there's more to music than just color ! You don't hear nobody mad about Beyoncé singing rock or country or telling her to stick to pop ( which is technically the genre she went in as a solo artist )

[@PolishedART87]

But Beyonce can sing every genre you just said. Jlo can't. Sooooo

[@MajesticMyronn]

Sandy brown I think it should all be appreciated , music genres doesn't have color or anything... if it's not what she normally sings in doesn't mean she can't necessarily do it

[@ahub87]

@@MajesticMyronn this isn't about her color. It's her vocal ability. JLo struggles to sing her own songs. Case in point the Grammys tribute to Aretha included Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera and no one batted an eye at these two pop singers on the stage because they have the vocal chops to pull it off. JLo might be able to pull off Diana Ross but even with that, it may he a struggle because there are some strong notes in some Supreme and Diana Ross songs. Let's be honest, she can't sing the other songs. No one would care if they picked someone vocally talented at the level of Motown. No one complained about Bruno Mars' tribute to Prince.

[@isabeldiaz623]

Loni Jlo did a good job she is a complete artist

[@blaqqzero4980]

Adrienne trying so hard to defend her idol... 😆

[@FloraNovax3]

I love JLo, but issa no from me. There’s so many black soul singers.. maybe if she shares the stage with others I think it’s doable that way but not on her lonesome.

[@elsamariealof6038]

she done it!!! and its Fantastic!!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@Yuli2013]

Lmao Adrienne is trying hard to defend JLo so bad

[@vincentrobinson0505]

Who was that at 0:25 😂😂😂 they wrong for that

[@mskishababy3014]

She should do a dance tribute
