Jennifer Lopez was born and grew up in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez. She has two sisters, Lynda and Leslie.
Jennifer Lopez financed singing and dancing lessons from the age of 16. After she dropped out of college, Lopez pursued her talent for dance. She split her time between her job at a law office, taking dance classes, and dancing in Manhattan clubs at night. She got her first spot and started out in television as a video girl for rap artist MC Hammer, also a guest spot on the American Music Awards. Her first regular high profile gig was as a “fly girl” dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990 after being twice rejected. She then left the show after the second season due to friction with another dancer.
Lopez’s debut album On The 6, a reference to the 6 subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill was released on June 1, 1999, and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one lead single, “If You Had My Love” as well as the top ten hit “Waiting for Tonight”. The album also featured a Spanish language, Latin-flavored duet “No Me Ames” with Marc Anthony (who later would become her husband). Though “No Me Ames” never had a commercial release, it reached number one on the U.S. Hot Latin Tracks. On the 6 featured guest artists such as Big Pun and Fat Joe on the track “Feelin’ So Good”, which had moderate success on the Billboard Hot 100. “Let’s Get Loud”, the final single, earned Lopez a Grammy Award nomination in the “Best Dance Recording” category in 2001 Grammy Awards. “Waiting for Tonight” was nominated for the same category the previous year. “No Me Ames” received two nominations at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards: “Best Pop Duo/Group with Vocal Performance” and “Best Music Video”.
Lopez’s second album, J.Lo, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. When her film The Wedding Planner achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week. The lead single, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing”, was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with “Play” which gave her another top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were “I’m Real” and “Ain’t It Funny” which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs, which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the “Ain’t It Funny” remix). Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released J. Lo on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of “I’m Real” as a bonus track. Also, “Si Ya Se Acabó” was released in Spain, due to the success of “Que Ironia”.
Following the success of the re-release of J. Lo, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remixing effort, releasing J to tha L-O! The Remixes, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart. Featured artists on J to tha L-O! The Remixes included P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and 50 Cent and the album included rare dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the third all-time biggest-selling remix album in the world, after Michael Jackson’s Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) and Madonna’s You Can Dance (1987).
On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Me… Then, which reached number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles: “Jenny from the Block” (featuring Jadakiss and Styles), which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100; “All I Have” (featuring LL Cool J), which spent multiple weeks at number one; “I’m Glad”; and “Baby I Love U!”. The album included a cover of Carly Simon’s 1978 “You Belong to Me”.
After a year away from the music scene, Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Although debuting and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, the album quickly fell off the charts. It spawned the hit “Get Right”, which reached the top fifteen in the U.S. and became her second Platinum hit (after “If You Had My Love”). “Get Right” was also successful in the UK, becoming her second number-one single there. The second single, “Hold You Down”, which featured Fat Joe, reached number sixty-four on the U.S. Hot 100; it peaked at number six in the UK and ascended to the top twenty in Australia. Another song, “Cherry Pie”, was slated for a release in late 2005, but the plans to make a video were cancelled as the album sales were definitely too weak and the promotion budget exceeded. It was released to radio stations in Spain. Rebirth was certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA. Lopez was then featured on LL Cool J’s single “Control Myself”, which was released on February 1, 2006. It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was Lopez’s first U.S. top ten hit in three years.
Lopez officially released her first full Spanish-language album, called Como Ama Una Mujer, on March 27, 2007 in the U.S. and March 23, 2007 in Europe. Her husband, singer Marc Anthony, produced the album with Estefano, except for “Qué Hiciste”, which Anthony co-produced with Julio Reyes. The album peaked at number ten on the U.S. Billboard 200, number one on the U.S. Top Latin Albums (for four straight weeks), number one on the U.S. Latin Pop Albums (for seven straight weeks) and number one hundred and thirty-one in the UK. The album did well in Europe peaking at number three on the albums chart, mainly due to the big success in countries like Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Greece, Germany, Austria, and Portugal. The lead single, “Qué Hiciste” (Spanish for “What Did You Do”), was officially released to radio stations in January 2007. Since then, it has peaked at eighty-six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Latin Songs and the Hot Dance Club Play. It also went top ten on the European chart. The video for the song was the first Spanish-language video to peak at number one on MTV’s Total Request Live daily countdown. The second single released is called “Me Haces Falta”.

The lyrics to Jennifer Lopez's "Si Ya Se Acabó" speak of the end of a relationship where one person has seemingly forgotten the other's name or simply no longer cares about their presence. The singer mentions knowing the other person well enough to see through their indifferent facade, which causes her pain. Despite the end of their love, the song acknowledges that there were good moments in the relationship that are worth cherishing.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Si ya se acabó tu amor" which translates to "if your love is already over" and goes on to state that despite the end of their love, the singer has memories and physical moments that they will hold onto. The final verse seems to leave an opening for a possibility of rekindling, as the singer offers support and the idea that they hold onto something special from the relationship.
Overall, the song expresses the end of a relationship and the sadness that comes with it, but also acknowledges the value of the time spent together and the potential for something positive in the future.

@@joshuaphillip4024 This is incorrect and doesn't make sense. Black artists were not secretly the magic behind the majority of JLo's discography. That's an exaggeration, false and misleading. She simply collaborated with people and had backing singers, like all musicians do...Will Smith had SWVs Coco on Men in Black for example but she was not "featuring" on the track name. That happens sometimes, but it's not covert or a conspiracy.
"Play" by JLo was released with full transparency that Christina Milian was co-writer and background singer. I remember at the time. Nothing was covered up on who was producing or writing for JLo. Apparently Ashanti did vocals on the Ain't it Funny remix demos for Ja Rule so he could hear what it sounded like. That's it.
And as far as the soundtrack Mariah Carey worked on ("Glitter"), of which you are referring to, the songs were mostly covers of old 80s songs, so not a lot of writing going on for MC!
And...MC has covered many "white" people's songs. In fact, those covers alone have boosted her career.
All artists work with other artists, sometimes without a big announcement. It doesn't matter what colour they are. Teedra Moses wrote for Christina Milian; Aaliyah never wrote any of her songs; Michael Jackson had white writers and producers on some of his biggest hits and was inspired by Fred Astaire; Walter Afanasieff co-wrote and produced most of Mariah Carey's songs for her most popular years.
JLo doesn't hide other artists' talents or "steal from black artists", nor need to compete with Mariah Carey. For some reason, despite MC's talent, MC seems incredibly threatened by other artists, which is more telling than anything. She's jealous of Celine Dion, and pretty much any female artist who threatens her spot in music charts.
I think MC is exceptionally jealous of JLo because when the alleged "YMO sample idea stealing" happened Carey was having a bad time with her music, first film, and personal life, whilst JLo became popular and successful in both music and film... plus JLo can dance and MC has said she's insecure about the fact she can't dance.
And this whole "she stole the sample I was gonna use, and I write my own music so therefore I am better" is nonsense, because it was a SAMPLE from a Japanese band (so no "stealing" from black artists), and most likely a coincidence or unintended from JLo's team. MC didn't own the sample and if that sample was make or break for that one record and still be mad about it then that doesn't look good on MC. It wasn't the loss of that sample that ruined Glitter.
But in the end this all doesn't matter - it's just pettiness about race. I don't know why it matters what colour or nationality someone is for music to be shared, collaborated with, and enjoyed. Such a shame audiences hold on to these issues when it comes to creativity.
Bottom line is JLo has her talent and works hard for her career and it wasn't borrowed on the back of Ashanti and Milian!
@MD-iw9te
She’s always had a beautiful voice. Black American people just like to bully her because of their own personal insecurities.
@MD-iw9te
She has always been able to sing well, why do people say she can't sing? this is in the beginning of her career and she sounded this good back then and even better now.
@LVHVOGUE
They're haters (Mariah Carey fans) or angry black people who think she's stealing music. They're just clowns
@ankitpant439
Some people think that being a powerhouse vocalist, screaming and hitting those high notes is singing. JLo isn't a powerhouse vocalist but still she can sing very well, have decent techniques and a nice tone and the type of songs JLo sings fits her voice very well.
@joshuaphillip4024
@@LVHVOGUE first of all look at Mariah Carey's standpoint imagine working hard to make music which includes not only singing but also writing and producing multiple songs for a soundtrack and then boom ya track and ya collab gets took from right under ya nose and put into the mainstream. And black people were are upset bc all the songs that we were jamming to of JLOs were thought of as her and her vocals only just to find out that Ashanti, Christina Milian and many others were the ✨magic(vocals)✨ for the majority of JLO discography. If there's any reason to be mad then this is most certainly justifiable.🤷🏽🤦🏽
@LVHVOGUE
@@joshuaphillip4024 mad why? They got paid for their work. JLo gave them employment. Come up with something new next time

Shes so beautiful. Her features her skin everything is lovely to look at ❤
@ajinnasandiego8259
Even though I don't understand what she's singing but I'm feeling every second of it. JLo can only make me feel this in a song!
