Multi-hyphenate diva Jennifer Lopez has not only spent the last two-and-a-half decades garnering headlines for cranking out some of modern music’s most memorable hits, but also for putting her unique spin on timeless tunes from other celebrated divas.
Standouts not only include her takes on Selena‘s ‘I Could Fall In Love,‘ R&B diva Toni Braxton‘s ‘Unbreak My Heart,’ yuletide classic ‘All I Want For Christmas,’ a rocking GRAMMYs’ Motown tribute that featured her singing Teena Marie‘s jam, ‘Square Biz,’ the chart-topping smash ‘Saving All My Love for You‘ by Whitney Houston, and Barbra Streisand‘s ‘Enough is Enough.’
In a more recent nod to the legendary latter, Lopez took to Instagram on Thursday (July 25) to also toast herself with a soaring cover of Babs’ 1962 hit ‘Happy Days Are Here Again.’
Having just celebrated her 55th birthday the day before (July 24), J.Lo – amid continued murmurs of impending divorce from longtime love Ben Affleck – teamed with vocal coach and good friend Stevie Mackey to show off her festive spirit.
