Anyone see her on SNL last night? Curious about your opinion...


This may sound a little weird, but hear me out.
Okay, so before getting to Weekend Update, there were already two sketches pertaining to her beauty, how impossibly attractive she is, right?

And she's...decent looking. I don't think much of her one way or the other, I don't listen to her music, don't know much about her, really...but there's something I've always had in the back of my mind but never articulated.

The media has been fawning over her for decades now, holding her up as some kind of beauty icon...and I'm really not trying to hate here, but it almost seems like the media just decided, and that was that. But she's just not that pretty, I don't think.

I'm not sure what it is...her features are too sharp? I mean, she's pretty enough, but she's nowhere near as beautiful as we're apparently supposed to think she is. Watching SNL now, OMG she's just the most beautiful woman you ever saw, so attractive that there's jokes to be made that she couldn't somehow realize it. A "bronze goddess" etc.

Its too much. I feel like JLo has been over-exposed for decades now, and that her iconic beauty might have more to do with a slam-dunk group of publicists rather than any true measure. Because its almost a little silly, I think.

Is it just me?

Beautiful and has aged very well (whether natural or not) but yeah she's over-rated.

Yeah, it was a weird appearance. The entire show seemed to be crafted around the branding that J.Lo is 50 and still fabulous. None of it felt very organic either. Also, I found many of the sketches to be surprisingly racist. And vulgar. SNL is a really weird show now. That aside, no I don't think J.Lo is super beautiful. In fact, she's done videos where she doesn't wear makeup and shows how she literally paints her face on.

That's Is because she was pushed upon you.
No talent, not good looking, a dime a dozen in nyc.
But the media and elites wanted to force a central American into the music industry.

Many of these performers are just puppets told how to dance, what to dress in, they have the songs written for them
Its such a seedy and vile industry

Very beautiful, in my opinion.

But, I question her "talent." She couldn't "sing" without smoke, pyrotechnics, flashing lights, and a few dozen chorus boys/girls. It's a production number. If she just stood there and sang (like Barbra or Liza or a few old-timers like Judy and Ella) she would be nothing.

Ok, so it's not my preferred style, but her entire shtick is over-manufactured and over-produced. Very over-rated as a performer.
