Last night Jennifer Lopez performed a tribute to Motown Records at the 61st Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
When the news originally broke about the Bronx bred artist performing this particular tribute, many were confused about the correlation, and voiced that they rather see a plethora of other artists have that opportunity…
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, J Lo made it very clear about how she feels regarding her performance and the backlash she received before she hit the stage.
Take a look at some of the critical tweets below:
