Jennifer Lopez cancelling dates for new tour

New album bombed out of the top100 in one week debuting at an incredibly low number worldwide. Now her tour is getting scrapped. She spent millions of dollars on this project, including a film and documentary only to have it fail. Is she truly over?

Sounds like a normal Janet Jackson tour.

Ruh roh. Available seats as of tonight in my major city.

I was kind of down to get some nosebleeds and just move down to better seats. Think we’re next for the chop, though.

Somewhere, Mariah is laughing.

That must mean her gay male fanbase finally dried up. What a shame. I remember her being an icon in our Community back in the aughts.

You do R5? I don't remember that.

She was way past her prime. Why do they not see their own decline and retire from the business gracefully?

I kinda do, r5. She was a proud Latina who didn’t need to go blonde. *cough Shakira*

She also always presented as a bitch, which some of us appreciated. The hits and legacy just aren’t there.

0h, well…

And her beauty brand failed. She's a has been. The Tik Tok crowd don't even know who she is.

[quote] She was way past her prime. Why do they not see their own decline and retire from the business gracefully?

She’s got millions and millions, just retire and do some volunteer work.

Agreed R8. Lopez is an excellent and very palatable/likeable actress in rom coms and similar movies. She's very pretty, sexy and seems very likable. That's what she should stick to. She's a very average singer with little to no music legacy to pull from as you say.

I absolutely don't remember her being a gay icon though.

[quote] I absolutely don't remember her being a gay icon though.

Yeah, but that was like a hundred thousand years ago in gay time.

No joke I met her sister Linda at a gala in DC and she was til this day the WORST human I’ve ever met. I had to check badges at the door and didn’t know who Linda was and she shoved her ID in my face and told me to go “take my Honda home!” Like, what? My supervisor came over and told her I had to check badges for everyone. This was over 15 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. She was JLo’s publicist or PR person or something at the time. This was when JLo was married to Marc Anthony and JLo swanned in looking like a goddess and didn’t say a word to any of us and just let Linda be her mouthpiece. Really unpleasant memory.

All my gay friends stated that she was fierce.

Doesn't she start filming Kiss of the Spiderwoman soon?

We love you Jenn you're the best New York City has to offer!

This is typical of Madonna’s tours since Madame X -LAX.

We love you, Jen, get up.

She's over. Most people don't think she can even sing, anyway. If she hadn't married Affleck, she would have totally disappeared.

People are sick of her always talking about Ben. She hasn't shut up about him since they got back together. Jesus Fucking Christ she even made an album, documentary, and movie/video about their relationship. There was a time when she was really popular and successful. She started out as a fly girl on In Living Color and became a superstar, not to mention a savvy business woman with her clothing line and fragrances.

To paraphrase Greg Savitt: she was always the shop girl who fought her way to the top and made a great success. Well, she's not a little shop girl anymore. Now that's the truth to face, and deal with if she wants to survive. The truth is, she's getting old.

She should’ve done a package tour with other artists like NKOTB or the current Pitbull/Enrique Iglesias/Ricky Martin tour.

I actually feel bad for her. Her drive, ambition, and perfectionism about looks and style and iconic celebrity, more than artistry, now turned to delusions reminiscent of Norma Desmond. I hope she doesn't have a narcissistic collapse. Somehow I doubt she will.

J Lo foolishly spent 20 million of her own money to make the video/movie that went with the album. And it bombed anyway. It will make a nice time capsule when her and Ben divorce.

Justin Trousersnake must be shaking in his boots.

Only cracking the lower reaches of the top 100 for one week is spectacularly bad for a known artist like her.

R11, the only thing JLo is excellent at is plastic surgery and being a cunt

I'm not sure i'd use the term "excellent" in reference to JLo except for her excellence in whining about what she *hasn't* achieved (in her mind).

Her body and skin are great, but that's also a function of the amount of money she's thrown into that because of her millions as a performer. I don't think the majority of women who are her same age/ethnicity would be quite as attractive without access to all the money she has to maintain that body. Money definitely plays into her body/face.

Excellent actress? Hell nah. She's fine. She doesn't stink up the place but she's never been excellent.

She needs to stick to acting and get hired onto some popular streaming show where can be the lead queen bee.

R29, I would say she has an excellent work ethic. She's not lazy.

r32 I don't disagree at all. She definitely puts in the work, no question.

“The tour has been updated with stops in Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and La Crosse.”

^ Yes, at the Shaven Cheetah, the Bushy Beaver, and Uncle Gertrude’s Fish and More Buffet, respectively.

[quote]Agreed [R8]. Lopez is an excellent and very palatable/likeable actress in rom coms and similar movies. She's very pretty, sexy and seems very likable. That's what she should stick to. She's a very average singer with little to no music legacy to pull from as you say.

J.Lo's biggest mistake was making pop music her main focus in the late '90s-2000s, when she should have been honing her acting craft.

She made a splash with SELENA (1997), including earing a Golden Globe nod, and got raves for OUT OF SIGHT (1998), but she put all that on hold while she debuted her ON THE 6 album (1999).

Thereafter, she dabbled in rom-coms and cheap thrillers, while attempting to become some pop queen or something.

Sadly, she never excelled in either profession, but I think she might have bettered herself as an actress and even be an Oscar nominee/winner today had she focused solely on film for her career.

She couldn't open a Wal-Mart these days.

If I had her money and Ben Affleck's dick at my disposal, work would be the last thing on my mind.

I actually looked into seeing if her tour was going to be near me and seriously thought about buying a ticket.

Nope. Oh well.

And that was even after I watched that terrible “This is Me…Now” short film

Never liked this heifer. Not a great actress and a terrible singer.

[quote] when her and Ben divorce.

Will her divorce Ben?

If all this is true, it sure doesn't bode well for the upcoming movie musical version of THE KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMN, in which JL has been signed to star.

Musicals are doing so well these days!

I wonder how many people are going to think that it's a Spider-Man spin-off. 😂

Like when people thought that The Iron Lady was related to the Iron Man movies. 🤣

R40 She’s post menopausal. His dick is the last thing on her mind. He likely drinks so heavily because he’s married to a cunt, but never gets laid. The irony.

I wouldn’t go see her for free.

[quote] THE KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMN

Is this some sort of NB adaptation of the story?

The only really great thing about Ms. Lopez is that Leah Remini is her best friend.

Reflected glory.

I never watch or listen to any of her shit, but when Bennifer expires, I might check out that thing she made about the rship.

A movie she made Mother (never heard of it) was the number one Netflix film streamed last year. They revealed that during the actor’s strike. Her pop career is dead but she still has a movie audience.

I'm telling you that this is me now, so I don't have to tell you later!

Her flopping is giving me orgasms.

Someone posted this on X. $383.55 for standard admission in Phoenix. Insane pricing.

Keep dreaming, JLo

Wait til she cancels her latest marriage...

Honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if Ben is the one to pull the plug on the marriage.

She is a black, gaping hole of thirst for attention. Must be exhausting.

many laffs to be had reading this....

Maybe she should lower ticket prices or play smaller venues? A Las Vegas residency, perhaps?

Will Ben ever get enough courage to leave this heifer?

Physical sales comprise 14,000 (6,000 on CD, 5,000 on vinyl and digital download sales comprise 3,000)

Maybe she can rebrand herself as JLez and attract a new fanbase.

She's trying to recapture the "Bennifer" media frenzy from 2003. Nobody cares anymore. She's such a fame whore.

Exactly, r67. Fame whore is the appropriate term for her.

Trying to make up for the love or recognition she felt she didn't get from either of her parents.

It's very clear now. The more money and recognition she gets, the more she can shove it in their faces and say "LOOK AT ME AND WHO I AM??"

Sounds like her sister was trying something similar with the poor poster upthread who had to deal the pair of them, r68.

Isn’t this the part of her that Ben left last time?

^^YES^^

He couldn't take the media scrutiny. She loves it and he hates it. I wonder how long this marriage is going to last. Rumor is they didn't sign a prenup.

How do you even go on with that sparse a crowd (R4)?

R66, lesbians are WAAAY to cheap to spend any money,

It’s not so much that lesbians are cheap, as it is they’re underpaid.

JHo is delusional plain and simple. For some odd reason she thinks people care about her music career in the year of 2024.

R74 Actually, in the US, lesbians earn 20% more than straight women.

So Ben and both his Jens call the paps...jesus

I was around circa the year 2000. JLo was everywhere then, along with a song by another artist that went "give me yo heart, make it real or let's forget about it" that was played over and over and over again.

Everyone loved JLo in those days. They said she had big booty. She made straight men gawk. Even some gays were sexually attracted to her although they would never admit it.

If JLo is having to cancel her tour because of lack of public interest and low ticket sales then it will be exactly like a Janet Jackson tour.

Do you think it's humiliating for her?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer, over-exposed, narcissistic cunt bag.

Poor Ben (not really) - imagine having to deal with her and all of her shit on a regular basis, and now this.

The man phones the paparazzi, and yet complains in interviews how much he hates being famous. Sure, Jan.

Sucks to be you, Ben.

How long does this contract "marriage" to keep them both in the spotlight run? Is the divorce PR/exposure included in the term of the contract or is that just an added bonus?

Do their children and Jen Garner know it's just a business arrangement for maximum exposure and profit or no?

If it was supposed to be PR exposure it didn't work R85.

Over exposed, that Dunkin’s ad did her in!

I will buy tickets because I love her music and she sings live!

[quote]She's very pretty, sexy and seems very likable.

She’s not likable at all. That’s Jennifer Aniston.

R62 she could probably sell out a theatre if she decided to downgrade from arenas, but I doubt her ego would allow that

[quote]Everyone loved JLo in those days. They said she had big booty. She made straight men gawk.

That worked great when she was in her thirties. This bitch is pushing 60 now.

She always had a weirdly overinflated view of her own talent. Wouldn't be surprised if she genuinely thought the Ben stuff would make this album and tour a huge hit.

I can't believe the ticket price- Madonna's lowest price was $120 in L.A.

I went to Ticketmaster to see what sales look like during the rest of her tour. It’s breathtaking. This tour has some of the lowest number of sales I have ever seen. I legitimately winced. And more than once. Who dies she think she is, exactly? And the PRICES she’s charging! I can’t believe the tour isn’t being canceled outright.

Her next divorce can’t be far behind.

Denver has whole sections where not a single ticket has been sold!

Few things: her last tour was a success, nearly 100% sellouts on every date. Almost the same cities and more actually. So what happened?

She missed out on the post-COVID nostalgia boom, all the pandemic money is drying up, prices are through the roof with inflation, including her bloated ticket prices. Something truly changed about her in the public zeitgeist since COVID, because these ticket sales are really bad.

They dumped all the tickets on the resale sites

Play at smaller venues and lower the ticket price. Read the room and know your market.

Ben is going to need a real job at Dunkin' Donuts just to get out of the house.

Ms. Lopez's recent "Saturday Night Live" appearance did her no favors. The songs she sang were dreadful.

I thought the song was great

R104, she needs CHARO’s help. She needs all the help she can get.

Si!! I wheel help Senora Lopez. Cuchi-cuchi!

R80, you realize Janet is adding a second go-around for her current tour?

There’s no need for that.

Look at Janet’s dates for 2024 on Ticketmaster. Not much better than JLow’s

Will Kiss of the Spider Woman even get made? That will bomb even worse than her last movie. Who would pay to watch a film adaption of a musical that no one remembers? She's beyond delusional.

This woman's ego truly knows no bounds.

She just can't get enough.

Then blame it on Madge, R91. JLo is just following her example.

Yes but Madonna is still successful at 75 R112.

[quote]Few things: her last tour was a success, nearly 100% sellouts on every date. Almost the same cities and more actually.

How come her "It's My Party" Tour in 2019 did not tour Europe or Latin America?

Jennifer Lopez, former backup dancer for Janet Jackson…

R108, in Janet’s defense, she hasn’t released an album in 9 years. Jennifer is shitting them out like no tomorrow and no one is interested. She’s both delusional and a total attention whore. She got back together with Ben Affleck for publicity and to write an album and a film around it. She’s fucked in the head.

R36, she started her pop career in '99 because she antagonized lots of people in Hollywood wit her infamous Movieline interview, in which she proved to be an arrogant bitch even though she had barely arrived. A contributing factor might also have been the fact that at the time, there was a lot more money to be made in music than in films and the level of exposure that successful pop stars received was enormous, as opposed to now, when music requires a constant presence on several social media platforms and record sales are far from enough to sustain a career.

Anyway, she has never excelled as either an actress or a singer because she is average as a Thespian and near disastrous as a vocalist. She has very little talent and the propelling force behind her career are her massive ambition, her willingness to sleep with anyone who could help her to climb higher and her delusional conceitedness. For some reason, she truly thinks she's the best and that lack of self-doubt has driven her to do ANYTHING necessary to succeed. Luck is, of course, also a decisive element, as is the case with all careers in the arts.

Personally, I am glad that she is being forced to eat a bit of humble pie, because she is widely known to be a very nasty person and as I've mentioned before, she has very little talent.

Oh Mariah @R57, remember that your career isn't exactly reaching heavenly heights, either. Still, I will gladly laugh with you at Jelly Lardass's well deserved flopping.
