The voice of “On The Floor” did not look happy when planning the event, since he had to divide his time with the Colombian.
Although it ended up being one of the most praised and remembered shows among all those that occurred at halftime of the Super Bowl, Jennifer Lopez I would not be happy to have shared the stage with Shakira in 2020at the level of considering it one of the “worst ideas”.
In February 2020, the two pop divas stole the attention of Latin America and the rest of the world where, in addition to singing their greatest hits in English and Spanish, they were also accompanied by Bad Bunny y J. Balvin.
In an extensive repertoire, Shakira performed, among others, Hips Dont Lie y Eyes like thatJennifer Lopez did the same with Waiting for Tonight y Let’s Get Loudat the same time they said goodbye singing a duet Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
His reaction to the halftime show occurred in his documentary Halftime, which will premiere on Netflix this June 14. In one of the scenes described by Entertainment Weeklythe artist with Puerto Rican roots meets her musical director, Kim Burse.
However, the duo has a problem planning the show: with Shakira the time in which López can appear is very short.
“We have six fucking minutes (sic.). We have 30 seconds of a song and if we take a minute, that’s it: we have five left. However, there have to be certain songs that we sing,” Lopez is heard saying.
“We must have our singing moments. It’s not going to be a fucking dance revue. We have to sing our message, ”she adds annoyed.
“This is the worst idea in the world: two people doing the Super Bowl. It was the worst idea in the world.”then assures the artist.
Also appearing in the documentary is J.Lo’s former manager, Benny Medina, who is also upset by the decision to have two singers head the event.
“Normally, you have a star at the Super Bowl halftime. This star builds the show and if they choose to have other guests, that’s their choice.”
Likewise, the measure ensured that “it was an insult to say that you needed two latinas to do the work that an artist has historically done.”
