She has an older sister, Leslie, and a younger sister, Lynda, a journalist. David worked the night shift at the Guardian Insurance Company before becoming a computer technician at the firm, while Guadalupe was a homemaker. When Lopez was born, the family was living in a small apartment in the Castle Hill neighborhood. A few years later, her parents had saved up enough money to be able to purchase a two - story house, which was considered a big deal for the relatively poor family. At the age of five, Lopez began taking singing and dancing lessons. She toured New York with her school when she was seven years old. Her parents stressed the importance of work ethic and being able to speak English. They encouraged their three daughters to put on performances at home -- singing and dancing in front of each other and their friends so that they would stay `` out of trouble ''. Lopez spent her entire academic career in Catholic schools, finishing at Preston High School. In school, Lopez did gymnastics, ran track on a national level, and was a member of the school 's softball team. She excelled athletically rather than academically, competing in national track championships. While attending her final year of high school, Lopez learned about a film casting that was seeking several teenage girls for small roles. She auditioned and was cast in My Little Girl ( 1986 ), a low - budget film co-written and directed by Connie Kaiserman. Lopez acted as Myra, a young woman at a center for troubled girls. After she finished filming her role in the film, Lopez realized that she wanted to become a `` famous movie star ''. To please her parents, though, she enrolled in Baruch College, only to drop out after one semester. She told her parents about her dream of becoming a movie star, but they insisted that it was a `` really stupid '' idea and that `` no Latinos did that ''. The differences in opinions led Lopez to move out of their family home and into an apartment in Manhattan. During this period, Lopez performed in regional productions of the musicals Jesus Christ Superstar and Oklahoma !. From there, she was hired for the chorus in a Golden Musicals of Broadway, which toured Europe for five months. She was unhappy with the role, as she was the only member of the chorus not to have a solo. She later got a job on the show Synchronicity in Japan, where she acted as a dancer, singer, and choreographer. Career 1991 -- 1996 : career Beginnings Lopez was selected as a backup dancer for the New Kids on the Block in 1991 and performed with them during their performance of `` Games '' at the 18th Annual American Music Awards. Shortly after, Lopez gained her first regular high - profile job as a Fly Girl dancer on the television program In Living Color. She applied for the job after one of the cast members was unable to continue with the show. Out of 2,000 applicants, Lopez made it to the finals. She was the runner - up but eventually received the role when the winner was unable to accept the job. She moved to Los Angeles to film the series and remained a regular cast member until 1993, when she decided to pursue a full - time acting career. Prior to leaving the show, Lopez briefly worked as a backup dancer for American recording artist Janet Jackson. Lopez was set to tour with Jackson on her Janet World Tour in late 1993 but backed out as she wanted to do her `` own thing ''. Lopez received her first professional acting gig in the direct - to - video drama film Lost in the Wild ( 1993 ), co-starring with Lindsay Wagner and Robert Loggia. Later in 1993, Lopez signed a deal with CBS to co-star in the television series Second Chances. Lopez received her first major big - screen role in Gregory Nava 's 1995 drama My Family portraying Young Maria. Although her role was uncredited, Lopez received an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female nomination for her performance. In November 1995, Lopez starred in Money Train alongside Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as New York City transit cops. In August 1996, Lopez had a supporting role in the comedy Jack. 1997 -- 1999 : breakthrough with Selena and on the 6 In February 1997, Lopez starred alongside Jack Nicholson and Stephen Dorff in the neo-noir thriller Blood and Wine. Lopez starred as the title role of the Selena biopic of the same name in March. Despite having previously worked with the film 's director on My Family, Lopez was subjected to an intense auditioning process before she was cast in the film. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times stated that even in the `` forgettable films '' Money Train, and Jack, Lopez 's `` presence and ability made her seem just one role away from stardom '' and with Selena she 's `` seized the opportunity and turned in an incandescent presentation that is especially strong during the film 's numerous musical numbers ''. He concluded by calling the film not just a celebration of Selena 's life, but also of the actress who portrayed her. The announcement was described as the `` role of a lifetime. '' from news outlets and Lopez 's salary for the film was reported at $1 million, which made Lopez the highest - paid Hispanic actress in history. After filming Selena, Lopez was `` really feeling ( her ) Latin roots '' and cut a demo in Spanish. Lopez 's manager then sent the song, titled `` Vivir Sin Ti '' ( Living without You ), to Sony Music Entertainment 's Work Group, who showed an interest in signing Lopez. Tommy Mottola, the head of the label suggested to her that she sing in English instead. In April, Lopez starred in the horror film Anaconda alongside Ice Cube and Jon Voight. Lopez starred alongside Sean Penn and Billy Bob Thornton in the crime film U Turn in October. The film, which is based on the novel Stray Dogs by John Ridley, received somewhat positive reviews from critics. In June, Lopez starred opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight, Steven Soderbergh 's adaptation of Elmore Leonard 's novel of the same name ( 1996 ). Cast as a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming criminal, Lopez won rave reviews for her performance. Lopez provided the voice of Azteca in the computer - animated film Antz in October. Lopez 's debut single, `` If You Had My Love '', was released in May 1999, as she began to ready her first album. Lopez became the first artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 with a debut single since Britney Spears did so with her single ``... Baby One More Time '' four months prior. During production of her debut album, On the 6, Lopez was aware that she received her recording contract on the basis of her looks and an already established name in the entertainment industry, and she wanted to prove she had musical talent. Prior to the debut of her music, critics wondered why she would take the risk of launching a music career. It was noted that : `` If the album was a flop, not only would it embarrass Lopez, but it might even damage her career. '' `` Waiting for Tonight '', the third single from On the 6, is widely considered to be Lopez 's best song. Lopez 's musical success came as a surprise to critics ; its launch made the `` popular actor even more popular ''. Both the music industry and the public became intrigued by `` this woman who seemed to have so many different talents ''. By the end of 1999, Lopez successfully converted herself from a film star to a pop star. She joined a select few in achieving this feat, becoming the first since Vanessa Williams ( 1992 ) and Martika ( 1989 ). 2000 -- 2002 : film success, J. Lo and this is Me... Then On February 23, 2000, Lopez, accompanied by then boyfriend Sean Combs, wore a plunging exotic green Versace silk chiffon dress on the red carpet of the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards. The dress `` had a low - cut neck that extended several inches below her navel, where it was loosely fastened with a sparkly brooch and then opened out again, '' exposing her midriff and then as cut along the front of the legs like a bath robe. The dress generated controversy and media attention, with images of Lopez in the dress being downloaded from the Grammy website over half a million times 24 hours after the event. Lopez was surprised by the enormous media coverage, declaring that she had no idea `` it was going to become such a big deal ''. Lopez returned to the big - screen in August, starring in the psychological thriller The Cell opposite Vincent D'Onofrio. During the process of recording her second album, Lopez decided to tweak her image as she began to develop into a sex symbol. She started going by J. Lo, something fans often called her. She subsequently named the album J. Lo. Released on January 23, 2001, it was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200. During the same week, her romantic comedy film The Wedding Planner in which she starred opposite Matthew McConaughey opened atop the box office. This made her the first woman to have a number one film and album simultaneously in the United States. The album was preceded by the release of its lead single, `` Love Do n't Cost a Thing '', which reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart. It was followed by the single `` Play ''. In April 2001, Lopez launched J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez, her own clothing and accessory company. Lopez felt that `` the voluptuous woman ( was ) almost ignored '' in the fashion industry, and therefore her company specialized in clothing women of all shapes. The following month, she starred in the romantic drama film Angel Eyes, which performed disappointingly at the box office and generated mixed reviews. After several months, J. Lo was declining on the charts ; this prompted Mottola to recruit rapper Ja Rule to create an urban - oriented remix of the song `` I 'm Real ''. This led to the release of `` I 'm Real ( Murder Remix ) '', which quickly reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Its success resulted in J. Lo being reissued to include the single, which was number one in the United States during the week of the September 11 attacks. J. Lo became the best - selling album of Lopez 's career, having sold 3.8 million copies in the US and moved over 12 million units worldwide. Having redefined Lopez 's sound with `` I 'm Real ( Murder Remix ) '', Epic decided to release further remixes in order to `` keep the momentum going ''. A remix album entitled J to tha L -- O ! The Remixes was subsequently released on February 5, 2002. It debuted at the summit of the Billboard 200, making it the first remix album to do so. Its lead single, `` Ai n't It Funny ( Murder Remix ) '', featuring Ja Rule and Caddillac Tah, reached number one in the US. J to tha L -- O ! The Remixes became one of the best - selling remix albums of all time, selling 1.5 million copies in the US. It produced two more singles : `` I 'm Gonna Be Alright '' and `` Alive '', a ballad co-written by her husband at the time, Cris Judd. In April 2002, Lopez opened her restaurant, Madrè 's. The following month, she starred in the thriller film Enough, which was described by the Boston Herald as a `` kick - but, female empowerment '' film. While filming Enough, which required an overworked Lopez to practice Krav Maga, she suffered a nervous breakdown. She recalled feeling `` sick and weird '', refusing therapeutic help or medication. She confessed, `` I was like -- I do n't want to move, I do n't want to talk, I do n't want to do anything. '' In September, she released her first fragrance, Glow by JLo. It performed strongly despite predictions that it would fail, and became the top - selling fragrance in the US. Lopez 's third studio album, This Is Me... Then, was released on November 25, 2002. It was dedicated to actor Ben Affleck, her fiancé at the time. The album 's lead single `` Jenny from the Block '', was later described by Sam Lansky of MTV News as her most iconic single. In the song, Lopez `` intones her modest childhood roots ''. The album itself performed strongly, selling 2.6 million copies in the US. Its second single, `` All I Have '', peaked at number one in the US. That December, Lopez starred opposite Ralph Fiennes in the romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan, which became the highest - grossing film of her career. 2003 -- 2005 : Gigli and Rebirth Lopez arriving at the MTV Video Music Awards, August 2004 In August 2003, Lopez starred opposite Affleck in the romantic comedy Gigli. The film was a box office bomb, and is considered one of the worst films of all time. The film 's poor reception was attributed to negative press preceding its release, as well as the media attention surrounding Lopez and Affleck 's engagement which largely overshadowed the film. Lopez would later describe this as the lowest point of her career, saying `` ( It ) was very tough '', `` the tabloid press had just come into existence at the time, so I was like a poster child for that moment. '' In October of that year, she released her next fragrance, Still Jennifer Lopez. Lopez also launched her next fashion label, Sweetface. It was described by Andy Hilfiger as a `` more intellectual, more inspirational collection than J - Lo by Jennifer Lopez. Less sporty, more suede. '' Lopez 's clothing lines and two fragrances generated over $300 million in revenue throughout 2004, which made her the 19th richest person under 40. In March 2004, Lopez had a minor role in the film Jersey Girl, alongside Affleck. Her character, Gertrude Steiney, dies during childbirth within the first 15 minutes of the film. From the intense media scrutiny following the couple 's break - up, it was noted that `` they may need to put Lopez in a coffin on the poster if they want anyone to come ''. In October, Lopez co-starred alongside Richard Gere in the drama Shall We Dance ?, a re-make of the 1996 Japanese film of the same title. The film was successful at the box office, and was considered a rebound for Lopez following Gigli. After placing her career on hiatus, Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, in February 2005. According to Lopez, Rebirth `` came about because I was on such a roller - coaster ride, that was my career from my first album to my last album, and I did a bunch of movie projects in between. I finally took some time just for myself, and ( when ) I came back, this was the first project I did. I felt like it was a new beginning for me, like I was, in a way, reborn. '' Tracy Hopkins of NBC 's Today Music noted that after `` fawning '' over Affleck on This Is Me... Then ``, Lopez `` wisely keeps her love life out of the spotlight '' on Rebirth and only references her relationship with Anthony on a few tracks. The album produced the single `` Get Right '', which peaked at number one in the United Kingdom. In May, she starred alongside Jane Fonda in the romantic comedy Monster - in - Law, for which she received a salary of $15 million. The film 's marketing played up Lopez 's `` Gigli - and - tabloid tarnished image '', and it became a box office success. In August, Lopez starred alongside Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman in An Unfinished Life, a drama film based on the novel of the same name. 2006 -- 2009 : career disappointments and Como Ama una Mujer Lopez in 2008 In April 2006, Lopez reappeared on the Billboard Hot 100 as a featured artist on `` Control Myself '', the lead single from LL Cool J 's twelfth studio album Todd Smith.

DanceLife, a reality series following the lives of seven dancers trying to break into the world of professional dance, aired on MTV from January 15 to March 5, 2007. Lopez produced, created and was featured in the show. According to the album 's co-producer Estéfano, Lopez 's fifth studio album Como Ama una Mujer would `` prove critics wrong '' with its `` big songs that require a voice '' ; referring to the criticism of Lopez having a `` limited '' vocal tone. The album 's lead single `` Qué Hiciste '' reached number one on Billboard 's Hot Latin Songs chart. Lopez performed the song on the sixth season of American Idol on April 11, 2007, becoming the first person to perform a Spanish song on the series. The album received the highest first - week sales in the United States for a debut Spanish album and the highest digital sales. In September 2007, Lopez starred in the biographical film El Cantante, which is based on the life of the late salsa singer Héctor Lavoe. In the film, Lavoe is portrayed by then - husband Marc Anthony while Lopez plays Lavoe 's wife Puchi. Lopez revealed that she felt her performance in the film El Cantante should have earned her an Oscar. `` I feel like I had that ( Oscar worthy role ) in ' El Cantante, ' but I do n't think the academy members saw it ''. El Cantante did not perform well at the box office, earning just $7.6 million. Lopez and Anthony also launched their co-headlining North American concert tour on September 28. Lopez 's sixth studio album Brave, released in October, was her lowest - charting album worldwide. The album produced two singles, `` Do It Well '' and `` Hold It Do n't Drop It ''. The first peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while the latter failed to make any significant impact on the charts. A five - part miniseries, Jennifer Lopez Presents : Como Ama una Mujer, based on the lyrics of Como Ama una Mujer aired on Univision from October 30 to November 27, 2007.

Created in partnership with World of Dance, the series was greenlit by NBC with a straight - to - series order for ten episodes. World of Dance premiered on May 30, 2017 ; with 9.7 million viewers, it became the most - watched premiere for a summer alternative series in nine years.

The second single `` Amor, Amor, Amor '' featuring Wisin followed in November 2017. In April 2018, Lopez launched her limited - edition makeup collection in collaboration with Inglot Cosmetics.

The following month she released a bilingual single titled `` Dinero '', featuring DJ Khaled and Cardi B. Upcoming projects Lopez is set to star in the comedy film Mothers I 'd Like To..., for which she will also serve as a producer through her production company.

She will once more serve as an executive producer for the film, which is currently in development. She will also produce and star in a romantic comedy film Second Act, which will be directed by Peter Segal. As an executive producer, Lopez is also developing an untitled legal drama for CBS and futuristic drama series entitled C.R.I.S.P.R. for NBC. Sometime in 2019, Lopez is set to executive produce and star in NBC 's Bye Bye Birdie Live !, a live television production of the stage musical of the same name. Personal Life Lopez 's personal life has attracted widespread media attention. From February 22, 1997, to January 1998, she was married to Cuban waiter Ojani Noa. Since their brief marriage, Lopez has endured many legal troubles regarding her relationship with Noa. In April 2006, she sued to prevent him from publishing a book about their marriage, contending that it violated their confidentiality agreement. The following year, a court - appointed arbitrator issued a permanent injunction forbidding Noa from `` criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging '' Lopez. She was awarded $545,000 in compensatory damages and Noa was ordered to hand over all copies of materials related to the book to Lopez or her attorney. A lawsuit regarding a compromising private honeymoon video in Noa 's possession is presently running. While working on her first album, On the 6, Lopez began dating record producer and rapper Sean Combs. On December 27, 1999, the couple was arrested along with two others in connection with a shooting outside the Times Square Club in New York. They were charged with criminal possession of a weapon as well as stolen property. Lopez was soon exonerated, having had nothing to do with the crime. However, Combs was charged and indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. After leaving Combs, Lopez developed a relationship with former back - up dancer Cris Judd, to whom she was married from September 29, 2001, to June 2002. Following her second divorce due to irreconcilable differences, she commenced a high - profile relationship with actor and director Ben Affleck, to whom she became engaged in November 2002. The media began to refer to them as `` Bennifer '', and they became a prominent supercouple in the media and popular culture. Bennifer became a popular term, which was eventually entered into urban dictionaries and neologism dictionaries as notable, as the name blend started the trend of other celebrity couples being referred to by the combination of their first names. The couple postponed their nuptials indefinitely a day prior to the planned ceremony in September 2003, citing the media 's interference with the event as the reason. Anthony and Lopez, 2006 Following her break - up with Affleck in January 2004, Lopez began dating her longtime friend, Marc Anthony ( real name : Marco Antonio Muñiz ). The couple wed that June, and lived in Brookville, New York. Two men attempted to ransom a private wedding video that was stolen from the couple for one million dollars ; however, they were arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of conspiracy, attempted grand larceny and possession of stolen property. On November 7, 2007, during the final night of their co-headlining tour, Lopez and Anthony officially confirmed that they were expecting their first child. The announcement ended months of speculation over the pregnancy. Her father confirmed that the couple were expecting twins, revealing that it runs in the family : `` My sister also had twins, so it 's a hereditary thing. '' Lopez, who is a Roman Catholic, has stated that her faith discouraged her from pursuing in vitro fertilization treatment while trying to get pregnant. Lopez gave birth to a son, Maximilian David, and a daughter, Emme Maribel, in Long Island, New York, on February 22, 2008. The twins were introduced in the March 11, 2008, issue of People, for which the magazine paid a reported $6 million ; the photographs of the twins became the most expensive celebrity picture ever taken at the time. Three years later in July 2011, the couple announced their split, with Anthony filing for divorce in April 2012. Their divorce was finalized on June 16, 2014, with Lopez retaining primary physical custody of the two children. On December 31, 2014, she legally changed her name back to Jennifer Lopez, dropping Anthony 's last name ( Muñiz ). Lopez had an on - off relationship with her former backup dancer Casper Smart from October 2011 to August 2016. In February 2017, she began dating former New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez. In March 2018, Lopez opened up about her own Me Too movement story of being sexually harassed by a director early on in her career, when she was asked to take her top off during one of her first films. Lopez has also been an active advocate for the Time 's Up movement. Philanthropy and activism Lopez and First Lady Michelle Obama posing for a selfie at the League of United Latin American Citizens National Convention and Exposition in 2014. Following the September 11 attacks, Lopez was heavily involved in charitable activities. Joining various other artists, she was featured on charitable singles such as `` What 's Going On '' and `` El Ultimo Adios ( The Last Goodbye ) '', which benefited people affected by the tragedy. One dollar from each ticket sold at Lopez and Anthony 's co-headlining North American concert tour, which grossed an estimated $10 million, was donated to Run for Something Better -- a charitable organization supporting physical fitness programs for children. In February 2007, Lopez was honored with the Artists for Amnesty prize by the human rights organisation Amnesty International, for her work in the film Bordertown, which shed light on the hundreds of female homicides in Ciudad Juárez. Lopez described it as `` one of the world 's most shocking and disturbing, underreported crimes against humanity. '' In 2009, Lopez launched the Lopez Family Foundation ( originally known as the Maribel Foundation ) alongside her sister, Lynda. The nonprofit organization seeks to increase the availability of healthcare for underprivileged women and children, offering a telemedicine program supported by a partnership with the Children 's Hospital Los Angeles. The foundation has led to the expansion of medical facilities in Panama and Puerto Rico, and created the Center for a Healthy Childhood at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. In December 2012, Lopez held a charity drive that would affect her three favorite charities : the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club, the Children 's Hospital of Los Angeles as well as the American Red Cross, mainly benefiting victims of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated parts of her home town, New York City. In May 2015, she became the first national celebrity spokesperson for the Children 's Miracle Network Hospitals and the BC Children 's Hospital Foundation ( BCCHF ), appearing in a campaign entitled `` Put Your Money Where the Miracles Are ''. That September, Lopez was announced as the first Global Advocate for Girls and Women at the United Nations Foundation. This role sees her mobilizing action to address challenges faced by girls and women around the world, including maternal health care programs, education and violence against women. In September 2017, following Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, Lopez announced that she would be donating $1 million from the proceeds of her Las Vegas residency to humanitarian aid for Puerto Rico. Along with ex-husband Marc Anthony, she launched a humanitarian relief campaign entitled Somos Una Voz ( English : We Are One Voice ), an effort supported by various celebrities to rush supplies to areas affected by Hurricane Maria. Lopez and Anthony presented a subsequent concert and telethon for disaster relief, `` One Voice : Somos Live ! '', which raised over $35 million. She was also among various artists featured on Lin - Manuel Miranda 's charity single `` Almost Like Praying '' which benefits Puerto Rico. Lopez is an avid supporter of LGBT rights, and has raised millions of dollars for HIV / AIDS research. In June 2013, amfAR presented Lopez with its humanitarian award for her philanthropic work. That September, she was awarded the Ally for Equality award presented by the Human Rights Campaign, for her support of the LGBT community. The following year, she received the GLAAD Vanguard Award. In July 2016, Lopez released a single entitled `` Love Make the World Go Round '', a collaboration with Lin - Manuel Miranda, which benefits victims of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. She was also featured on the song `` Hands '' along with numerous other artists, also benefiting those affected by the Orlando shooting. Among numerous other artists, Lopez signed an open letter from Billboard magazine to the United States Congress in 2016, which demanded action on gun control. Lopez endorsed President Barack Obama in his 2012 presidential campaign, speaking in television advertisements and attending a fundraising event for Obama in Paris. She endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, headlining a free concert in Florida in support of her that October. Artistry Musical style `` Waiting for Tonight '' A twenty - five - second sample of `` Waiting for Tonight ''. It is a dance - pop party song that incorporates Latin and European influences. Problems playing this file ? See media help. According to author Ed Morales in The Latin Beat : The Rhythms And Roots Of Latin Music From Bossa Nova To Salsa And Beyond ( 2003 ), Lopez 's music explores the `` romantic innocence '' of Latin music, while strongly identifying with hip hop. Growing up, she was influenced by Latin styles ranging from salsa to bachata, but it was the 1979 hip hop song `` Rapper 's Delight '' by The Sugarhill Gang that she said changed her life. Her debut album On the 6 fuses the influence of Latin music with R&B and hip hop, which Lopez described as Latin soul. To the contrary, Morales described it as `` state - of - the - art dance pop ''. Dee Lockett, writing for the Chicago Tribune, stated that songs such as `` Waiting for Tonight '' made Lopez `` arguably the leading artist in the dance - pop movement at the time ''. While primarily sung in English, she speaks in Spanish and asserts her Latin heritage throughout the album, which is apparent in the song `` Let 's Get Loud ''. She has also recorded bilingual songs, including the Latin pop song `` Cariño '', for her second album J. Lo. A departure from her previous albums, This Is Me... Then blends 1970s soul with `` streetwise '' hip hop. `` Get Right '', from Rebirth, is built around a sample of `` Soul Power 74 '' by Maceo and the Macks, and is characterized by a repetitive saxophone riff. The New York Times called it `` one of the year 's most unusual R&B songs '' which sounded `` like nothing else on the radio ''. Described as autobiographical, much of Lopez 's music has centered around the `` ups and downs '' of love. The lyrical content of This Is Me... Then is largely focused on her relationship with Ben Affleck, with the song `` Dear Ben '' being described as the album 's `` glowing centerpiece ''. Her first full length Spanish - language album, Como Ama una Mujer features introspective lyrics about romance, heartache and self - loathing. When explaining her seventh studio album Love ?, Lopez stated : `` There 's still so much to learn and that 's why the question mark. '' Other recurrent themes in Lopez 's music have included her upbringing in the Bronx and women 's empowerment. Lopez has been influenced by artists such as Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Barbra Streisand. She credited Rita Moreno 's performance in the 1961 musical film West Side Story as a major inspiration. Critics have considered Lopez 's voice to be limited, and obscured by the production of her music, while remaining `` radio - friendly ''. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone observed : `` Instead of strained vocal pyrotechnics, Lopez sticks to the understated R&B murmur of a round - the - way superstar who does n't need to belt because she knows you 're already paying attention (... ) She makes a little va - va and a whole lot of voom go a long way. '' Meanwhile, AllMusic 's Stephen Thomas Erlewine called her voice `` slight '' and wrote : `` Lopez was never, ever about singing ; she was about style ''. Entertainment Weekly criticized her vocal performance for lacking the trademark `` husky - voiced voluptuousness '' she has in her films. J.D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun regards Lopez as having a `` breathy '' stylistic range, but lacking personality. Dance and stage Considered one of dance 's `` greatest success stories '', Lopez felt an emotional connection to dance since her youth, when she specialized in ballet, jazz and flamenco. Her career commenced on the variety television sketch comedy series In Living Color, where she was a part of an ethnically diverse dance group known as The Fly Girls. Janet Jackson, whom she briefly served as a backup dancer for, has been credited by Lopez as an inspiration for her own dance and videos. Since beginning her own recording career, Lopez has become known for her body - emphasizing music videos, which often include dance routines. Some of them have been the subject of controversy, including `` Jenny from the Block '', `` Dance Again '' and `` Booty ''. Her provocatively choreographed music video for `` If You Had My Love '' allowed Lopez to become a dominant figure on MTV networks worldwide, while the accompanying video for `` Waiting for Tonight '' established her as a `` dance princess '' according to MTV. On stage, Lopez is recognized for her showmanship and sex appeal, and often includes costumes such as bodysuits as part of her performance. Author Priscilla Peña Ovalle stated in Dance and the Hollywood Latina : Race, Sex and Stardom ( 2011 ) that Lopez was one of the Latin stars who `` used dance to gain agency as working performers with mainstream careers, yet many of their roles paradoxically racialized and sexualized their bodies ''. Troy Patterson of Entertainment Weekly also observed that she used her body for emphasis on stage, `` She turned herself out as the fly girl hyperversion of postfeminist power, flaunting her control by toying with the threat of excess. In consequence, her star went supernova. '' Her signature movements include `` clock-wise pivoting with salsa hip circles and sequential torso undulations ''. While being noted to lip sync in the early stages of career, Lopez 's Dance Again World Tour was praised for showcasing live vocals and choreography synchronously. In a review of her Las Vegas residency All I Have, Los Angeles Times writer Nolan Feeney called her `` Queen of the Strip '' and remarked that her dancing is `` undoubtedly the centerpiece of the show ''. Lopez 's provocative stage performances have also drawn scrutiny at times. In May 2013, her performance on the finale of the television series Britain 's Got Talent was deemed inappropriate for family - friendly television, and drew viewer complaints to Ofcom. Following her controversial performance at the musical festival Mawazine in 2015, Moroccan Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane called it `` indecent '' and `` disgraceful '', while an education group claimed that she `` disturbed public order and tarnished women 's honor and respect ''. Public image Lopez performing during her Dance Again World Tour, June 2012. Speaking of Lopez 's image, Andrew Barker of Variety observed : `` Despite a carefully cultivated image as an imperious pop empress in ludicrously expensive outfits, her signature hits bear the titles `` I 'm Real '' and `` Jenny From the Block ''. She managed the perilous transition from actress to music star without ever seeming to pick either as a primary gig. She established herself as an oft - provocative sex symbol while her demeanor made it abundantly clear that she 's not asking you to come hither. '' In 2002, Lynette Holloway of The New York Times described Lopez as overexposed. She wrote : `` Forgive yourself if you are seeing Jennifer Lopez in your sleep. She is everywhere. '' Holloway noted her image to be `` a dash of ghetto fabulousness '' and `` middle - class respectability '' for mass appeal. Entertainment Weekly observed a change in her public profile upon joining American Idol in 2011, writing : `` Gone was her old cut - a-bitch swagger ; J. Lo 2.0 is an all - embracing, Oprahfied earth madre. '' Lopez is considered an icon of popular culture. Television presenter Ray Martin describes her as a `` showbiz phenomenon ''. Lopez has developed an image as a sex symbol and `` one of the most desirable women on the planet ''. She is widely celebrated for her callipygian figure, which was the inspiration for Sir Mix - a-Lot 's 1992 hit `` Baby Got Back ''. She has been credited with influencing a change in mainstream female body image. In Latin Sensations ( 2001 ), Herón Marquez wrote : `` Because she was n't rail thin, Lopez had broken the mold and allowed millions of women to feel good about their bodies. Suddenly, it was okay for women to have hips, curves, and a big backside. '' Vanity Fair described her buttocks as `` in and of themselves, a cultural icon ''. Details magazine named Lopez the `` Sexiest Woman of the Year '' in 1998, and she led FHM 's `` 100 Sexiest Women '' list twice. In 2011, she was named `` The Most Beautiful Woman '' by People. The following year, VH1 ranked her the fourth on their list of `` 100 Sexiest Artists '', while Vibe magazine named her the most `` lustable '' celebrity of the past twenty years. In 2014, Lopez stated, `` There 's this funny notion in America that you ca n't be a mom and be sexy (... ) It 's the craziest thing I 've ever heard... The truth is that women can be sexy until the day they die. '' Lopez is a tabloid fixture and has admitted to having a `` less - than - perfect '' public image. The media often draw comparisons between Lopez and actress Elizabeth Taylor, due to her numerous failed relationships. In fact, Lopez has been dubbed a `` modern - day Liz Taylor '' by the media. Lynn Hirschberg of W compared her glamorous public persona to that of Taylor. Her style is described by Billboard 's Lauren Savage as scantily clad. Lopez has been criticized by the animal rights organization PETA for inclusion of fur in her fashion lines and outfits. She has received a bad reputation as being a demanding `` diva '', but she constantly refutes this. In 2003, The Observer remarked that Lopez was `` the woman immortalised in a million headlines as ' Hollywood 's most demanding diva '... Lopez must wonder what heinous crime she has committed to become the most vilified woman in modern popular culture. '' Legacy and cultural impact Lopez waving the Puerto Rican flag in 2009 Lopez is regarded as the most influential Hispanic performer in the United States, credited with breaking racial barriers in the entertainment industry. In 1999, The Record newspaper observed that she was responsible for the introduction of a Latina presence in the film industry, which was a `` whites - only preserve '' for much of its history. Described as a `` multidimensional artist who had turned into a financial powerhouse '', Lopez became the highest - paid actress of Hispanic descent in history. Miriam Jiménez Román stated in The Afro - Latin Reader : History and Culture in the United States ( 2009 ) that `` ( she ) was able to traverse the difficult racial boundaries ''. In 2012, business magazine Forbes suggested that Lopez `` may be the most powerful entertainer on the planet '', and named her `` the world 's most powerful Latino celebrity ''. Upon launching her music career in the late 1990s, Lopez contributed to the `` Latin explosion '' occurring in entertainment at the time. Writing for The Recording Academy, Brian Haack described her as the `` breakout female star '' of the Latin pop movement in American music. She was featured on the cover of the first issue of Latina magazine in 1996, with editor Galina Espinoza stating that there is `` no recounting of modern Latina history without Jennifer ''. Around the time her career began to burgeon, the emphasis on Lopez 's curvaceous figure grew ; scholar Sean Redmond wrote that this was a sign of her role and social power in the cultural changes occurring in the United States. In August 2005, Time listed Lopez as one of the most influential Hispanics in America, remarking : `` Why ? Because over a decade ago, she was an anonymous background dancer on the second - rated sketch - comedy show. Today she 's known by two syllables. '' In February 2007, People en Español named her the most influential Hispanic entertainer. In 2014, scientists named a species of aquatic mite found in Puerto Rico, Litarachna lopezae, after Lopez. Lopez is considered a global icon, and is often described as a triple threat performer. VH1 ranked her at number 15 on their list of 200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons, number 16 on 100 Greatest Women In Music, and number 21 on 50 Greatest Women of the Video Era. Lopez has been cited as an influence or inspiration by a range of entertainers, including Jessica Alba, Adrienne Bailon, Kat DeLuna, Mike Doughty, Fifth Harmony, Becky G, Selena Gomez, Ryan Guzman, Kelly Key, Q'orianka Kilcher, Demi Lovato, Normani, Pitbull, Francia Raisa, Naya Rivera, Bebe Rexha, Gwen Stefani, Stooshe, and Kerry Washington. Famed for her distinct style and fashion sense, Us Weekly named Lopez `` Style Icon '' of the 2000s decade. The Green Versace `` Jungle Dress '' that she wore at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000 was voted the fifth most iconic red carpet dress of all time in a poll run by The Daily Telegraph. The images of Lopez wearing the dress became the most popular search query of all time at that point, and subsequently led to the creation of Google 's image search. Her style has influenced a range of celebrities, including Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her record - breaking fragrance line has become the most successful celebrity line in the world, with sales exceeding $2 billion as of 2012. Her first fragrance, Glow by JLo, has been credited with influencing the rise of celebrity fragrances in the 2000s, with perfume critic Chandler Burr stating : `` Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first ( to have her own scent ), but Glow kicked the whole thing into overdrive. '' Following the success of Lopez 's appointment as a judge on American Idol in 2010, a trend of networks hiring `` big names '' for judging panels on reality shows ensued. The Hollywood Reporter branded this `` The J. Lo Effect ''. Achievements See also : List of awards and nominations received by Jennifer Lopez Lopez remains the only female entertainer to have a number one album and film simultaneously in the United States.

Lopez 's return to prominence the following year with her single `` On the Floor '' -- among the best - selling singles of all time, and its music video recognized as the `` Highest Viewed Female Music Video of All Time '' by Guinness World Records in 2012 -- is regarded as one of the greatest musical comebacks in history.
