Jenny From The Block...

Move over The Kardashian's.

I've got a new celebrity crush and she's not only beautiful, but incredibly talented.

She is the ultimate definition of a triple threat.

She is none other than Jennifer Lopez.

At the weekend, I was lucky enough to work on the JLo Dance Again tour. I spent the day setting up her divine all-white dressing room and then later that night, took my seat in the auditorium and watched the show. 

Having seen the biggest and best artists tour Australia over the past 5 years, I went into the JLo show expecting a high energy dance marathon with a couple of great backup singers and the help of a pre-recorded vocal. I couldn't have been more wrong. If JLo was lip-syncing through any stage of her show, she completely fooled me. Her vocal may not have been perfect and she skipped a few lines here and there to catch her breath, but all that could be excused for the simple fact that she put on a live show- in every sense of the word.

JLo is the first to admit that her passion for dancing trumps her singing and acting careers, and that has never been more evident than watching her tear up the stage in a performance that lasted from start to finish. With the exception of a 2 song ballad break, Lopez was running, jumping and shaking her world famous booty for over 2 hours, leaving the audience exhausted just watching her.

There are four things I know for sure, having now seen JLo perform live.

1. She can actually sing, which was abundantly clear when she slowed things down for an acoustic version of her smash hit- If you had my love.

2. She can definitely dance. If I ever had an ounce of doubt, it no longer exists.

3. She has the most impressive abs out of any female celebrity I've seen and just to add salt to the wound, she's a 43 year old mother of twins.

4. She has the most enviable hair in the world. Whoever her hair stylist is, they are a genius. And on a side note, let it be known that I would now like a portable fan to blow my hair off my face wherever I go.

So I guess this post is basically a Lopez love fest. To my readers- if you're ever considering seeing JLo perform, I promise you she won't disappoint.
