If you heard a soft 'thud' in the distance last night, it was J Lo's famous behind hitting the stage at the AMA. Many have observed that the aging pop princess appeared overly self conscious, out of shape, and completely lacking in convincing lip-syncing skills last night – and as if to punctuate that assessment, J Lo blew a move and wound up falling on her ass.
The situation had some not-so-pleasant echos of Britney Spear's 'comeback' performance at the MTV awards show. J Lo can still eck out a decent pack of pop bubble gum but, despite looking great at 40, seemed tastelessly under-dressed, and over choreographed. There was no comfort level in J Lo's performance, and she seemed to be dashing between a procession of disharmonious dance steps that looked more like Salvador Dalí's take on interpretive dance than a music exhibition.
Sadly for J Lo, when you dub your performance a 'come back' and you end up falling on your ass, that is all people are going to remember. Considering her phenomenal success in the acting arena (J Lo is one of the highest paid actresses… evah), it's kind of sad she would even be looking to regain any of her status in the teeny bopper arena. Oh well.
Naturally, there is video of J Lo falling on her ass. If you are in a big hurry, or simply can't suffer through the hectic choreography and monotonous tempo, fast forward to 2:30-ish to see J Lo fall on her ass. To be fair, there is some question as to whether J Lo fell on her ass, or if it was a planned move that was just poorly timed.
