Say what you will, but when she gets on a stage, all the hype around Jennifer Lopez starts to make sense in the most dramatic, glitter-drenched way possible.
At the recently concluded American Music Awards, the All My Love songstress kicked things off with a six-minute, uninterrupted opening act. Lopez, in a rhinestone jumpsuit that could probably deflect minor bullets, danced through all the biggest hits of the past year — including Birds of a Feather and the legally entangled Not Like Us. But the night’s most memorable moment came when she turned to the man dancing next to her for a kiss… and then did the same to the woman on the other side. A clear homage to legendary agent provocateur Madonna, and also possibly an homage to the chaos of Lopez’s own romantic timeline.
