Jennifer Lopez Performs On ‘So You Think You Can Dance’

Published: Wednesday 16th Dec 2009 by Trent

Jennifer Lopez appeared on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ this evening. Demonstrating what seems to be a complete 180 in the label’s decision to scrap the struggling record, Lopez performed the struggling ‘Louboutins’, which has yet to debut on the Billboard charts. The singer’s ‘Love?’ album hits stores in March 2010.

Although clearly lip-syncing, Lopez delivered an electrifying performance. By including an element of entropy and changing the previous choreography, she captured my attention from beginning to end. Furthermore, the fact that she was able to do most of the moves in those Louboutin heels is quite a feat in itself. Good stuff.

Sam Edit: Lip-sync or not, she KILLED IT!

Thoughts?

    It was OK.

    I thought she over-did it for the show. it’s only SYTYCD Jenny, not some award show.
    anyway, the song in growing on me.

  2. Its Me Again December 16, 2009

    I’m sorry… I just can’t get over the fact that this song is just a whole advertisement trying to market Louboutins to me. I wonder how much money J-Lo gets paid just for singing it…

    Apart from the song…

    The performance was solid i guess… just solid. The fact that she is so blatantly lip-synching annoys me.

    You people are never satisfied. She gives her all and an amazing performance, but yet she over did it? STFU. She did just enough and needed to in order for the record to get more airplay. She needed a knockout performance and delivered one. At least she wasn’t lazy like some people I won’t mention and changed up the choreography. HATERS.

    I agree that an entertainer can never “overdo it” lol.

    That’s what they’re supposed to do, go all out to entertain you…it’s their job. People are so happy with mediocrity that when someone actually attempts to do their job properly it’s deemed too much lol.

    The label never decided to scrap the single that was a rumor. If Britney Spears and Janet Jackson can get away with lip syncing then JLo can 2. I thought it was very entertaining wish her the best with the single.

  6. Yamaha December 16, 2009

    So many Haters! Britney and Janet sing playback always ! the performance was amazing ! Make sure to buy louboutins December 21 on i tunes !!!

    Jlo i love u , leave marc lol

    The label never scrapped the single, that was just a rumor from this blog. You also fail to mention that the song hasn’t even gone on Itunes yet and it just went for radio adds last week. This song hasn’t had a chance to flop or be successful yet. You should really check your facts before making such biased posts.

  8. shelly-chelle December 16, 2009

    she should of performed this at the AMA’s instead of that other b******* but in general the song sucks ass!

  9. sugar December 16, 2009

    jlo needs to go sit somewhere and take care of her babies… her time is a WRAP

  10. nate December 16, 2009

    NOW THIS WAS A PERFORMANCE!!!!! This was soo much better than any of the other performances.. Jlo can snatch wigs when she finally gets the right songs.. she is definalty owning the stage unlike Britney nowadays..

  11. thatmangojuice December 16, 2009

    this was really, really good. It doesn’t matter anymore (sorta) how she does …. now i know it’s not her..it’s the people.

  12. DON’T JEALOUS ME!!! December 16, 2009

    SPAM

  13. B**** Please December 16, 2009

    Omg, this was the Jlo that I remember from early 20’s. Get it Girl!!!

  14. Nikki December 17, 2009

    I hate this song…but the performance was better than the last one’s I’ve seen..

  15. Lawayne December 17, 2009

    jennifer is bad ass…that was the best performance she’s done so far

  16. Drake December 17, 2009

    She killed it ! I love the song.

  17. Ankka December 17, 2009

    IT WAS HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!! new choreography + the beginning with the phone + the end!!! AMAZING! who cares if it was lip-sync or not???? it was ENTERTAINING! A+!

  18. Ankka December 17, 2009

    it also seems to me that people don’t really get the song!! IT’S NOT ABOUT SHOES!! it also has a message to it!!! nobody will make you buy anything!

  19. me December 17, 2009

    I use love JLO so much, espically during the JLO album in ’01. There’s just something not quite there now.

  20. TOW3RA December 17, 2009

    ooh i luv this show

  21. B December 17, 2009

    This was SO MUCH BETTER than the other performances of the song. The theme and choreography were cute and sassy. The way it always should’ve been. And she didn’t have to try to do that jump!!!

  22. Imeanreally December 17, 2009

    Ugh.

    I usually don’t mind lip syncing, but on SYTYCD? The sister show to AI?

    I’m guessing a lot of people here don’t watch the show. The reason why I enjoy SYTYCD musical guests so much is because they almost NEVER lip sync. And when they do – the last time I remember someone lip syncing was Kristinia Debarge (Who? Exactly. Girl wasted a huge opportunity to get noticed) – it really sticks out.

    Yes JLo is an already established artist, but she seems to be re-inventing herself. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry pretty much launched their singles on this show by singing live. Yes Gaga tuned down the dancing but it was still rally impressive.

  23. Sarah December 17, 2009

    The performance was cute but that song is terrible, and she’s still lypsyncing. Mary J. Blige, Adam Lambert and Leona Lewis sang with their real vocals but JLO’s constant lypsyncing totally ruins her credibility as being genuine. Sure she did a dance routine lypsincing and danced in heels, but the stars that learn to dance on “Dancing with the Stars” perform incredible, and daring stunts in high heels all the time and JLO did not match that.

    JLo needs to get out there and sing LIVE, and quit trying to fake it in the music industry.

  24. MaZ December 17, 2009

    JLO killed it! It’s been a while I didn”t see such a performance! (Love it)

    Lip-sync or not she was credible and professional.

    I think she learned from the AMA”s, and put something fresh, class and s***.

    She’s a performer, worked hard for it and never had the ambition to be a vocalist. People are mistaken about her.

  25. Yamaha December 17, 2009

    @ SARAH

    the show it’s called “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE” and not “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN SING ?”
    MJB LEONA AND ADAM , are OUT ! JENNY WAS IN ! also there is dancers of the last season with her !! very perfect

    @ SAM

    I don’t no why , you hate so much Jenny ! leave her alone if she is has been to you !!

    MISS JENNY FROM THE BLACK KILLED THAT S***!!! WHO CARS IF SHE WAS LIP-IN I RATHER SEE THE PERFORMANCE THEN HEAR HER.. JENNY’S A PERFORMER NOT A SINGLER. U PAY TO SEE WHITNEY SING, U WOULD BAY TO SEE JENNY PERFORM.. I LOVED IT SHE KILLED IT, WELCOME BACK JLO.. SIDEBAR, THIS WAS THE JLO I WAS EXPECTING AT THE AMA’S

  28. Dena Tarlin December 17, 2009

    I find it quite amusing that some of you don’t even seem to realize she did the SAME song as at the AMAs, only with different (slightly more appropriate) staging and styling.

    It is true that Britney, Mariah, etc. do lip-synch, which is one of the reasons why I don’t care for any of them. But I do think the lip-synching seems particularly ludicrous when it’s “performed” on a show on which other people are risking life and limb.

    The song is mediocre as can be and has a name most people can’t even pronounce. I predict it will die a miserable death.

  29. KingNoah3000 December 17, 2009

    Hate her attitude .. When did Tina Knowles drop a single!? I Hate knock offs… Grade F

  30. J.LO IS THE S***!! December 17, 2009

    J. LO TORE IT DOWN!!

    NOBODY CAN DENY THAT SHE SHOWED UP, DID THE DAMN THING AND LEFT OMST OF Y’ALL IN AWE!!

    AND WHY ARE PEOPLE HATIN’ ON SAM?? THIS WAS TRENT’S POST!

    J. LO!!! SO HOT!!

  31. LIZ December 17, 2009

    If you are familiar with Jlo’s work, she is a performer not a vocalist. What is always showcased about her is her dancing not her voice. This is a multi-talented artist who sings, dances and acts and has proven all of these talents in big platforms. She does not need SYTYCD to prove her talents.

    Come on folks! Give credit where credit is due. JLO has sold plenty of records and her songs have placed at the top of the charts many times before. This song might not be one of her best ones but even vocalists like Beyonce don’t always place at the top for every song they produce.

    Keep doing your thing Jenny!!!

  32. ROB December 17, 2009

    Jblow can dance all day if she wants to. the point is She’s OVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. sam December 17, 2009

    sorry but she sucks..she cant sing nor act…she needs to stop before its too late…shes just a rich ghetto person who earned lots of money due to her personal life not her so called talent..sorry jlo but you need to retire..

  34. KodieBlue December 18, 2009

    Amazing performance, because Nobody and i mean nobidy can sing to the point that it gets people’s attention and dance and thrown there body and head around like that at the same time.. People are Harsh and actually have no idea how difficult this is!!
