LL Cool J + Big Pun = Save Big Ass

The one moment during J-Lo's performance out strolls Big Pun... crowd screams... a few minutes later... Big Pun is rolling off the stage and you hear JLo say something about 'it's not ova yeeet" and suddenly the whole stadium is shaking...

LL Cool J has walked on the stage (how anyone identified him in the 2 seconds he appeared in the darkness is beyond me) and the 20,000 women (99% of the audience) are screaming beyond belief.

I have to say, there is something about LL that is just beyond words. Incredible power. Is it just the abs?

CAN J-LO DO IT ALL?

Brillant? quite possibly

Gorgeous? Absolutely.

Naturally talented dancer? No doubt

Singing power? ... well she's done a good job learning and she can hold her own now

Established Actress? sure

Business woman? tots

Generous and charismatic? from what I can tell, definitely

Prego? Without question.

Can she capture 20,000 marc anthony fans? ........... ummmmmmmm........ needs some work.... because that did not happen on October 7th.

It's a tough mission to captivate a stadium full of 20k of your husband's fans who are interested in spanish radio and songs and not necessarily going to scream and jump over songs like "if you had my love" and other pop-sensations like Jenny From the Block...

For her first concert it was well planned with 4 costume changes, fireworks, back-up dancers, moving walk-ways, tv-screens, and more. The best moment though was when JLo actually abandoned her microphone and traded it in for a "janet-jackson" mic and actually DANCED for the whole song.... that was amazing...

Unfortunately that only happened once for 3 minutes.

Regardless of her lackluster performance, I want to be her. Or Shakira. Or both.

What Does Marc Anthony and 20,000 People Have In Common?

I have no idea. I don't speak a lick of spanish. And last night at the at the JLo-Marc Anthony at MSG, I understood "Tuuuuuu eeeeessss" to mean "youuuuuu arrrrrrrre".

Marc opened and from the second someone thought he might be coming, the crowd was insane. The crowd sang every song, stood and danced the entire time, and if you didn't know better you'd think we were in Puerto Rico and that everyone had just won the lotto.

Rose thought he was hot. I still think he's got a bit of the 'mature' (old), 'greasy' (greasy) look to him.... and his songs sound to me generic (monotone) but obviously there must be something there for Jlo to pick him over Ben, Puffy and just about anyone she wants.

Gosh, I don't get it, but to 20,000 fans and one of the most powerful woman in the world - he's the best thing ever.
