November 22 marked one of the biggest nights in music as the American Music Awards (AMAs) aired live on ABC. Hosted by Taraji P. Henson, the highly anticipated annual showing boasted performances by the likes of some of music’s biggest names including BTS, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, and more.
Among the night’s most talked about, however, was the high octane showing from Jennifer Lopez. An AMA darling and regular performer, Lady Lopez rocked the house with an energetic showing of her latest Maluma-assisted cuts, ‘Lonely’ and ‘Pa Ti.’
And while her faithful fanbase, affectionately called #JLovers, rendered virtual standing O’s in response, another fanbase isn’t exactly echoing the sentiment.
See why inside;
Lopez may have blown the roof off the Microsoft Theater with the performance above at Sunday night’s American Music Awards (November 22), but some – namely members of Beyonce‘s beloved fan group the #Beyhive – were none-too-impressed.
Likening the showing to the ‘Drunk in Love’ diva’s performance of that very song at the 2014 GRAMMY Awards, the alleged likeness comes as the latest in a string of what some argue have been repeated offenses of ‘swagger-jacking’ on the part of J.Lo.

See Beyonce’s 2014 GRAMMY performance below and see if you agree:

Here’s the original performance by the queen herself, but nice tribute by jlo we love you

Baybeh Jlo copied it down to the hair length chile
Whatever! I lost count of how many artists Beyoncé ripped off and have sued her in the process!
And she’s won every single time you miserable f**.
thiefyonce is a ripp; off copycat thief she can write a book on stealing

thiefyonce admits to stealing on youtube
just because someone wins a lawsuit doesn’t mean they are innocent of the crime.
y’all are so naive.
That part plus let’s not act like Beyoncé never stole
Jlo’s look at thé beginning of her solo career…don’t get me twisted Beyoncé is far more talented that jlo with that said I find quite ridiculous that they act like be never did that to other artists… and there’s nothing wrong with that !!!!
If she would have legitimately “stolen” as much as y’all say, it would have been proven in court at least once and that’s never been the case. So try again you baldheaded hater
Dear J-Ho
You are a joke. You copied Janet, Beyonce, Madonna and Britney.
You can’t sing worth S***!
You look good though! But We didn’t forget of your betrayal of Billionaire Rihanna.
And remember she stole beats from Mariah
This is just like Eva Longoria taking credit for Stacey Abraham’s success in the election in Georgia. Stop taking credit for what we do
“ You look good though “ 😂🤣🤣🤣
B**** stfu… u a lover fat f*** on your knees
Lip syncing in 2020? YIKES.Lip syncing in 2020? YIKES.
Lonely is R&B with Spanish. Black people are the prototype. Rock. Soul. Funk. Country. We originate it all yet can’t sell in the genres we created. SMH.
That part. We literally lay the foundation for everything and get zero credit. They look at us like we’re dumb and they’re superior, yet everything they do is a copy of ours.
JLO laid the foundation out for Beyoncé lol without JLO would of never been a Beyoncé she would of still be in destiny child with the. Cheap outfits Tina was making lol
Jlo just stop making new music and perform the hits Ashanti song for you (allegedly). I’m embarrassed FOR you b****
The culture vulture strikes again and these fools continue to give her a pass because she’s a “spicy Latina.” If any black artist was as talentless and fraudulent as her they would have been canceled but I digress.
Like the hits Ashanti has now oh wait that’s right she’s a non factor and hasn’t been for decades. Have several seats.
Nevertheless, J Lo did it better.
No shade 😘
THE LIES! THE LIES! THE LIESS CHILE!
Will this be the thing to finally ruin her nonexistent music career? She’s ripped off so many artists
Jennifer Lopez won the performance. Hers was way more dynamic
It looks more like a tribute to Chicago the Broadway musical
I’m Beyhive but even I know Beyoncé’s early career was def Jlo inspired. She even said to Frank one day « they hate when we go to their shows cause they know we gon steal »
I just know Beyonce old musty termite mound ain’t comin for anybody over stealing. They both theivin ass heffas. This ain’t nothing but Karma for all the times Beyonce was “inspired.”
Beyonce doesn’t give a damn. It was just an observation made by viewers. So sit yo dumb ass down somewhere.
Are yall surprised? She hijacked Ashanti’s entire career.
Ashanti wrote two songs for JLO and got paid for it so idk what career she hijacked from Ashanti. She’s a non factor. Where her music? Lol exactly #Haters
#Stay Pressed
We all know she ain’t got no artistry or voice. Her talent lies at mimicking people…Selena anyone.
30 years in the game I beg to differ.
Omg at some ppl throwing shades at Jlo . Well we all know beyonce copied her millions times back in the days . And wait jlo did it better . That performance was MINDBLOWING and she is 51 . Chill u haters she is here to stay .
The performance was 🔥 I enjoyed it 🤷🏾♂️
Honestly, jlo chair performance was hotter than Beyonce
Jlo made theafyonce who she is today
The only thing she can do good is copying, cause it’s not singing or dancing. Jlo should not be awarded for spending half her career in the industry stealing vocals from black artists. She is a joke and im glad she has been flopping consistently for years.
You are a racist..shut it b****
You can’t make me shutup. So that leaves you in the same position you are in every other aspect of your life nowhere. Now f*** off my comments and take that untalented flop JLo with you and her bought award cause we all know She is an industry joke.
Countless times theafyonce stole jlo looks and style … jlo made her ….
Hello Beyoncé used Jlo as a blueprint when she started her solo career.
The performance is a copy, and paste job. However no one should be surprised, Jlo has stolen from black culture, and artists for decades now and no one has made a big deal of it so I doubt that will change now.
Just Google: Beyonce copies jlo on google and that is the answer. Poor beyhive looks like they are ignoring this .
While I did enjoy Jlo’s performance on the 2020 VMA awards, I couldn’t help but have a racking sense of deja vu ( no pun intended). I mean the whole look and feel was that of Beyonce’s 2014 Grammy performance.
I mean the outfit, the hair length, the wet look..I said if she start spinning, that’s it!( Thank God she didn’t). But they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery..so you can’t be too upset.
Actually jlo been done that in her music video
I’m glad”
So her retarded stans needs to go sit somewhere..
The bish is the biggest copycat in the world..
And her dumb stans needs the fugg up
Jennifer and Beyonce have had similar looks over some years, but it doesn’t make Jennifer a culture vulture unless you think blonde hair, Bob Fosse, and a chair dance are all representative of black culture.
Sunday night, Jennifer performed the same choreo from her music video for “Lonely”. No one made any Beyonce comparisons when the video debuted September 24, or after the 30+ chair dances Jennifer peformed last year on the “It’s My Party” tour. “Black is King” is a whole costume Beyonce wore one day and took off the next, but you’re worried about Jennifer.
Bob Foose who is a legend was heavily inspired by Black culture and dance. He created a specific style of it that became his trademark but still steeped in Black culture.
beyonce biggest copycat liar also on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68CVK0Mam3E&list=RDwZmPjqUapYg
Exactly
I dont care because Jlo has done this many times to other artist
Beyonce Queen copycat tho🙄
https://youtu.be/9tFKfByduD4
Enough Said!!! Lmao
Jlo’s body is natural unlike Beyoncé’s altered body (lipo, b*** lift, fat transfer, shots, nose jobs, lip fillers)
The Beyhive are some straight bullies it’s disgusting at this point & her silence makes her just as guilty smh
