Netflix recently dropped aJennifer Lopezdocumentary titled “Halftime.”
Performing at the Super Bowl is something most musical performers consider an honor.
But a lot of anxiety comes with that honor, as Lopez toldEllen DeGeneres.
“Hollywood is run by men.
We have all witnessed what a phenomenal dancer she is.
The music and the fashion were just a couple of elements that make it stand out in pop culture.
Quite a few of our most beloved stars of today can credit their success to the daring show.
The comedy series had a format that was a bit unique at the time.
As an added bonus, a group of five young dancers known asthe Fly Girls would perform.
The conversation comes around to the “Selena” star giving credit to the performers who have influenced her.
“I grew up in the MTV era.
I was watching all the way back from Tina Turner … and Madonna and Janet.
They were my inspirations to even get into the music business,” she said (perMTV).
One can assume the Janet she is referring to is Janet Jackson.
It’s not often someone gets to work with one of their idols, but JLo got that chance.
The video starts with Jackson playfully ignoring her friends as they ask to listen to her new music.
There is also avideoof Jackson introducing each dancer with a bit of friendly ribbing.
Being a superstar icon herself, Jackson had no ill feelings about her decision to pass on the opportunity.
It would seem that the Latin superstar made the right call.
She was dedicated to taking that time to work on her music and acting career.
In 1999, she released her debut album “On The 6.”
The album peaked at No.
8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (perThe Things).
