Jul 2019. JLO celebrates her 50th birthday. 6 months later in Feb 2020, she performs live at the super-bowl halftime in front of 150 M viewers.
JLo is one of 3 sisters, and wasn't considered a singer in the family. She was the athlete or a dancer. Her mom was into musicals and this inspired JLO to learn singing, dancing and acting. She grew up in the Bronx. West Side Story was her favorite musical.
JLo left the house, as she neglected her education for her dance practice. Her mother insisted that to stay in the house, she needed good grades. She was 18. JLO did random dance gigs all over town, and even taught dancing classes.In Feb 2019, JLO acted in movie Hustlers. She learns to dance on a pole and gets bruises all over her body. She feels that Hollywood is controlled by men, and Hustlers is a movie made by women, telling stories that are important to them. The movie is launched at the Toronto film festival in Sep 2019. Her performance was deemed Oscar worthy.The super-bowl was mired in controversy with NFL players taking the knee during the national anthem for the "black lives matter" movement. NFL was having race relations issues and brought in Roc Nation to advise. They wanted a Latina and JLo was a front-runner. JLo is confirmed and will be joined by Shakira. They have 12 mins plus/minus 2 mins for the entire show.
JLo wants to use the show to bring people together in that moment, and showcase their Latina heritage.
Trump has branded all Latinos as drug dealers and rapists and has promised to build a wall across the entire border with Mexico. Children of illegal immigrants were separated from their parents and kept in cages. J Lo wants to speak up against all of thisJ Lo wants to sing "Born in the USA", but Shakira is not convinced. JLo's parents came from Puerto Rico. She spends thanksgiving with her family. Mother Lupe, Father David. JLo was surrounded by her mother, grandmother and aunt, who were strong women, who ran everything. Lupe was tough on her daughters and taught them not to depend on a man for anything.
J Lo's big break as a young actress came in the movie "Selena". The movie is a hit and JLO starts earning $1 M per movie from this point on. She starts working on her album. JLo hits the #1 both in her movie career and the singing career at the same time. She went from dancer, to actor to singer to a global icon.yet the media always focused on her personal life, branded her the revolving bride, treated her unfairly and said that she had no talent. She was in line to be nominated for an Oscar for her work in Hustlers.
JLo has 3 full time careers at the same time and has almost no time for herself. She attends numerous media commitments to push her case for the Oscars. JLo has 6 mins at the halftime of super-bowl and starts planning her performance. In Dec 2019, JLo is nominated for the Golden Globe for Hustlers.
JLo is really involved in how she wants the super-bowl set to look like, and what her performance would be. J Lo travels with her daughter Emme, whenever she can. JLo meets Emme's dance class and has the idea to put the entire class onstage at the super-bowl.JLo picks her dress for the Golden Globes. JLo is a proud Latina with a wide, voluptuous ass. And the Hollywood idea of beauty was tall, thin and blonde. JLo was not taken seriously, as she was perceived to be too sexy. Her green dress at the Grammy's sparked a revolution that continues to this day.
J Lo is the odds on favorite for the Golden Globe win. But, she loses to Laura Dern. J Lo feels she let her team down, most of whom had been with her for 20 yrs.
JLo and Shakira start rehearsing together in January. There is intense speculation about an Oscar nomination. Yet, there is a feeling that while J Lo is successful, she is not yet respected.. and her personal life has always overshadowed her professional accomplishments. She got divorced at 42 and had 2 kids. American Idol gave her purpose, where she was a judge.She wins the LA film critics award for best supporting actress. But the following Monday, she is overlooked for the Oscar's nomination for best supporting actress. Many women oriented stories and stories / performances from people of color were overlooked. JLo is crestfallen.
The focus is back on the super-bowl. The NFL team pushes back on many of JLO's ideas as it takes too long to set it up on stage and then get it all back down in time for the game to start. The finale is a group of little girls (Emme's friends), performing the Cha-Cha on "born in the USA". Emme sings the finale.The closed rehearsals take place and the night before the live performance, the NFL top bosses want to pull the cages from the performance. JLO's big plan was to use the cages to showcase the idea of America being in chains due to its own thinking (immigrant children in cages). the cages are a big part of the performance. NFL was concerned about making a political statement. the NFL was overwhelmingly pro-Trump and there was no way they would let the super-bowl to be used against him.
JLo explains to her crew that the cages are critical to send the message that Latinos are not being treated fairly in America. She tells her managers to get the cages on stage, no matter what it takes.
Feb 2nd, 2020. Super Bowl Sunday. The performance goes flawlessly and the media loves it, along with the entire country. The kids win hearts all over the world.
One yr later, Trump leaves Washington DC after a single term as the POTUS. JLo sings at the inauguration ceremony of Biden and Harris.
