Oh yes it is definately jealousy that has the Haters hating J.Lo (which is a very cool nickname), even the whole "why does she make so much money" line the haters keep bringing up even shows this (because we know the haters are not making millions or can't demonstrate any talents themselves but to antagonize someone who is beautiful, talented and a superstar like J. Lo). What i also find interesting is if J. Lo annoys the Haters so much why are they so up to date on everything she does or is doing??? In other words why spend so much attention on her if she has no talent, and does nothing of consequence???

To quote someone else's insightful reply:
"How could one express their opinion of something without experiencing it?"
Being a film or music fan doesn't mean people are "so up to date on everything she does or is doing." It means they have eyes and ears and are aware of what's going on in the entertainment industry. That and the media is always putting attention on her, making it almost impossible to avoid her.
And geez. You guys really need to think of another excuse. This "jealousy" nonsense isn't only not funny anymore, it's pathetic.
And just for the record, there are tons of other beautiful, rich actors and actresses I admire: Halle Berry or Angelina Jolie, to use an example of ones we'd supposedly dislike based on this argument. The difference? The talent I believe they have, that JLo does not, merits the fortune and fame they've obtained.
Thanks Lady!!!
"that JLo does not, merits the fortune and fame they've obtained."
and who are you to determine who deserved to make money and who doesn't??? Are you a millionaire??? What is your talent??? What is your claim to Fame??? You are here on the IMDB just waxing antagonistic about a Superstar like J. Lo, and that is why i say you are jealous. J. Lo is a very talented women who is a great actress, singer, businesswoman and dancer.
LOL. You need to calm down. Clearly those of us with the opinion that JLo is talentless have hit some nerves, but like you mentioned, this is just the IMDB messageboard. Chill.
In my OPINION, people worthy of that kind of money and fame need to have the chops to back it up. Again, that's my OPINION. I never claimed what I said to be a determining factor in who should be rich and who shouldn't. No one can determine that. It's an unfortunate way the world works. Just as there are tons of talented people out there trying to make it and getting nowhere because the industry is THAT difficult to break into, there are those talented who managed to get through. JLo, in my OPINION (look that word up, if you need to), just got lucky.

I don't like J.Lo as an "entertainer" because she has no talent. All hype and no substance. She can't sing, can't act and imo she can't dance(she looks so so funny when she tries to do the urban dance moves). It's simple as that. Substitue J.Lo for Beyonce, Melissa Etheredge, Charlize Theron or Ellen Barkin and I will sing their praises all day long. All of these women are famous, rich and beautiful too so the "jealousy theory" just does not compute.
I detest J.Lo as a "person" because she is a selfish, conceited bitch who thinks she can pimp and use various cultures for her personal gain whenever it suits her to do so. What do I mean by this? When she was with Puffy she was "Black"..when she was with Affleck she was "White"...After the Blacks and Whites didn't want her sorry ass anymore she's all of a sudden "Latina" again. And why is this? So she can get those hispanic dollars ..thats why. She's playing the latino community for fools with this "getting back to my roots" crap. The only reason she wants to get back to her roots now is because she can't get those African American and Caucasion dollars anymore. Her mo is so blatantly obvious which explains why the majority of her fan base are the very young as they tend to focus more on the shallow ("shes rich and beautiful talent be damned")and are less discriminating about the talent and/or morality of the people they support. If Ben Afflect hadn't dumped her inarticulate ass and she was still in the "white peoples" good graces she would probably still be sporting the blonde hair and I doubt very serious if she would be cranking out Spanish albums and ethnic movies (and please fans, don't reply with she did "Salina"...of course she did, she was a nobody back then and it was her big break)

Do you know that Selena only has one "a" and no "i", and How exactly does J. Lo doing Music with P. Diddy means she was trying to be black, or was ripping off the "African American community dollars"??? She was a backup dancer for McHammer in the late 1980's and and a backup dancer for Janet Jackson and on In Living Color (created by Keenan Ivory Wayans) in the early 1990's, so J. Lo has worked with Black people BEFORE she got with P. Diddy. Jennifer also sang in Spanish several of her songs from her 1999 "If you had my love" album in Spanish and did a Spanish Duet with Marc Anthony years before she married him in 2004 (the years you claim that J. Lo was being "Black" and "White"). And just because you are of a certain race doesn't mean that you have to play roles only of your race. Jennifer Esposito plays a lot of Latino/hispanic characters, even though she is italian, and Anthony Quinn played a lot of Italians in his character and he is mexican. Your "reasons" for hating on J. Lo are pretty weak.

You must be WACKED up if don't think JLO can dance. Her acting is controversial and it all depends on what kind of script she chooses. I can say that she is not a good singer, but to call her a bad dancer is just sad, pathetic, and ignorant. You must not know anything about rhythm or movement if you think she can't dance. You also think Beyonce can dance better than JLO? ROFL! No credibility whatsoever.
When J.Lo dances she's about as wooden as they come. The ability to execute a move does not a good dancer make, especially if you look goofy when your doing it as is the case with Lopez. She is all method and no soul. You can see her counting the beats in her head as she moves ( 1 and 2 now turn to the side) And yes, Beyonce can dance circles around this chic. She is a natural. J.Lo is not even in Beyonce's league:
Let's see J.Lo fall down a flight of steps in 6 inch heels, get back up and continue singing and dancing without missing a beat.
Let's see J.Lo belt out a note while doing a back bend in 6in heels and then come back up from the back bend while continuing to hold the note and continue a dance routine and not even appear to be out of breath.
Let's see J.Lo even do something basic such as "sing/howl" live and dance at the same time.

LMFAOOOOOOO at your thinking that Beyonce can dance better than JLO. I LOVE Beyonce. She's my girl and she's a fantastic singer, and entertainer but there's no way in hell that Beyonce Knowles can dance better than JLO! Her own fans such as myself, will admit that Beyonce is not as good as JLO when it comes to dancing. You probably think Beyonce is a better dancer than Janet and Ciara as well huh?
I find it equally hilarious that you think J.Lo can dance better than Beyonce. Just as many people share my opinion as they do yours as evidenced in a recent BET televised special of the hottest 25 dancers - - BET's List of Top 25 Dancers from last to first:
25. Ciara
24. Diddy
23. Big Daddy Kane
22. Rosie Perez
21. Gregory Hines
20. Missy
19. Tina Turner
18. Aaliyah
17. Cab Calloway
16. Shakira
15. Omarion
14. Bobby Brown
13. Jennifer Lopez
12. Alvin Ailey
11. Usher
10. The Temptations
09. Beyonce
08. Savion Glover
07. MC Hammer
06. Prince
05. Janet Jackson
04. Chris Brown
03. The Nicholas Brothers
02. Michael Jackson
01. James Brown
FYI, Janet and Ciara both can't sing and dance at the same time! Like JLO, they have WEAK pipes and lungs, therefore they can't sing and dance simultaneously like Beyonce!
FYI, I know this. But we're not talking about Janet and Ciara. We're talking about Jenny from the block.
She was a FLY GIRL in Living Color. Like I said before, you know NOTHING about dancing, precision, or rhythm if you honestly think JLO can't dance.
She may have been a Fly Girl but she wasn't hired for her great dancing ability: http://www.anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=9586
You probably think that she can't dance because you just downright hate the woman! Hate her all you want! Hate her acting(controversial) and her singing, but don't try to delude facts with biased opinions! JLO is a great dancer and you are just twisting yourself by not being able to see it!
Delude facts? I hate to burst your little delusional bubble my dear but the only thing that is a fact is that you and I disagree on whether or not she is a great dancer. Some will agree with you and some will agree with me....its ALL opinion...mkay.
MANY folks willl agree that JLO is a great dancer! Take a look for yourself pal!
MANY folks believe that Elvis is still alive too...that doesn't mean he is!

I'm sorry sweetheart but anyone who regards the BET list as the bible is someone who has been dropped one too many times on their head. That list is flawed in every aspect and the public has already shared their opinions on how Beyonce's place on that list is NOT deserved, along with P.Diddy and other undeserved members of the list. The list is absurd and public knows best. You must really be on some serious drugs if you think Beyonce has the dancing power of either JLO or Ciara.
iam_juicyapple...Please go take your prozac and then re-read my post. I used the BET list simply to show you that there are plenty of others who share the opinion that Bey can out dance J.Lo. So your attempt at insulting my intelligence with the "regarding BET as the Bible" crap didn't work. And for someone who claims to have an objective point of view you are coming across as quite the lunatic J.Lo fan with your rage filled replies. You can call me names all day long and it will still not change the fact that a large majority of the population {including me} think that Beyonce can dance circles around stiff ass Jenny.
We are going by your logic sweetpea. By your logic, anyone who can't sing and dance simultaneously falls below Beyonce in the dancing department. Therefore, going by your logic, Janet, Ciara, and JLO all fail when it comes to Beyonce's superior dance skills. ROFL!!!!
Good grief....since you keep wanting to throw Janet and Ciara up in the mix..my opinion is this:
Rythm Nation era Janet - better dancer than Bey
Current Janet - not better dancer than Bey
Ciara - Tough call. She's got some good moves...most of which seemed to be borrowed from Janet Jackson's earlier days but I'm a have to go with my girl Bey
...and even MORE LMAO at your FANTASY that ANYGIRL can be a FLY GIRL as long as she can SHAKE HER ASS WELL!
Huh? Were did that come from? Child you better put that crack pipe down.
I dare you to go to Beyonce's page and post this nonsense you are spewing from that mouth of yours!
You dare me? I believe you said you were 18 but you're really starting to sound like a 12 year old child.
If you don't start a topic on Beyonce's board then maybe I just may just for the heck of it!! Just to prove to you that Beyonce is not that great of a dancer, and ESPECIALLY not better than JLO!!
Look here little girl (or boy)...You just don't get it do you? You can start 200 topics on the subject and you will still never be able to prove to me that JLo can dance better then Bey because I've seen them both dance numerous times and I have formed my opinion already..comprender? If not, just put the pipe down for a few minutes and let the concept marinate around in your brain until it seeps in. Now I'm a need you to meditate on this statement too so don't pick that pipe back up just yet...Ready? Ok here it is: I'm not going to change my point of view just because some people on a message board disagree...Mkay. Now with that being said, if you still feel the need to start your little topic on the Beyonce board because apparently you are so insecure that you feel the need to have your own opinion validated by others then by all means knock yourself out.
I have already shown you enough opinions from other objective folks like myself! Beyonce's fans and Janet's fans do not hesitate when they classify JLO as a great dancer. I understand the difference of perspective in art, but I honestly, truthfully don't think that anyone can sincerely and objectively classify Beyonce as a better dancer than JLO!!
LMAO to that whole last quote. share

What makes JHo wooden is that she hasn't had any training as a ballet dancer, her body doesn't have a single delicate, soft feature and she isn't very flexible either. As a result her dance moves look tough and manly.
Professional JLo hater™ since 1998.
¿Qué sabes tú de mí? No me hagas reír.
I don't like J.Lo as an "entertainer" because she has no talent. All hype and no substance. She can't sing, can't act and imo she can't dance
I think you hit it right on the nail with everything you said about JLO's career moves. I don't hate her, but I do think she is very fake. More and more people are catching on about her lack of talent. I think that's what is scaring her, that she is not getting the attention she use to. It's just feels like every move she makes, be it in films she acts in or dating different men, even her marriage to Mark Anthony, its all seems kind of a career move for her to become more famous, to get more publicity and attention. I remember when she divorced "Cris Judd", his mother went on to say in an interview that JLO "has no class", that pretty much sums her up. People like JLO will never be content with they have, they will always want more; she heading for a rude awakening some day as she gets older in a place like Hollywood. share
