珍妮花Lopez was the recipient of MTV’s Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award last. She became the first Latin woman to receive the award. She accepted it with such breaming pride, emotional sincerity, genuine gratitude andlove for her family and her hype manthat I almost don’t have anything to snark about.

Almost.

I still stand firm in my belief that Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott is the rightful recipient of this award and I will not rest until the respect she deserves is put on her name, DAMN IT. But珍妮花Lopezwas not a bad choice. As I wrotewhen this was announced, JLo does have some iconic music videos and her videography as a whole is memorable. JLo hustles HARD and JLo loves HARD. These are two of her most defining characteristics. Watching her perform her greatest hits with the images of videos past flashing behind her, complete with all the hustle and past loves of her 20 year career, made it hard to hate on what she was doing on that stage.

I would have chosen a different set list (one bar of “Waiting for Tonight,” really?) with less of her later EDM hits but as soon as she hit “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” into “I’m Glad” into “Get Right,” I was on my feet basically doing a ‘Tiffany Haddish watches JLo’ impression from my living room. By the time she put on her parka for “All I Have,” I was LIVING. Also, I appreciate that Jennifer sang live the whole way through. She may not have the best vocals, bless her heart, but she sounded better than I expected her to. And this goes without saying but she looked RIDICULOUS. Whew. Money don’t crack, does it?

当Ja Rule出来时，我在尖叫。当他们切入Arod的手机上记录表演并像真正的Jlo Stan一样吹口哨时，我一直都进入。MTV几乎让我有我，直到他们让肖恩·门德斯（Shawn Mendes）在没有工作麦克风的侧面舞台上向她颁发了奖项因此，没有人知道F-CK发生了什么。你可能知道how I feel about Shawn Mendes但这对他来说不是正确的时刻。在Jlo的每一张镜头中，她的Michael Jackson视频先锋奖是她职业生涯中最高的荣誉，肖恩·门德斯（Shawn Mendes）就在那里。为什么？实际上，其他所有人都在忙吗？

This award meant a lot to JLo. You could see it in her teary eyes throughout her speech and hear it in her shaky voice. Every time she mentioned her twins, Max and Emme, the cutaway shots of Max on ARod’s lap got me. I started to get teary too. We’ve watched Jennifer Lopez PDA her way through ill-advised marriages to backup dancers, engagements to Ben Affleck and relationships with more backup dancers. Blame all the rom-coms I’ve been watching lately but I believe in J-Rod.Alex Rodriguezhas only been there for the past two years of JLo’s 20 year career but he got one of the most substantial shout-outs. Of course he did. We know that Jennifer loves deep. She loves out loud. Here’s what she said about ARod in her Vanguard speech:

“Alex, you’re like my twin soul. We’re like mirror images of each other. My life is sweeter and better with you in it. You make me realize that every day, the sky is not the limit. The universe is infinite and so is what we can accomplish together with love, trust, and understanding. There is so much more to do, to experience, and there is no one I would rather do it with, baby.”

To many people, “we’re like mirror images of each other” may not be the most romantic compliment but for two celebrities and definite narcissists, this is actually very romantic. JLo and ARodare喜欢彼此的镜像。这就是为什么我认为他们工作的原因。这就是为什么我相信他们会工作的原因，这是JLO一直在等待的爱。他们彼此完美。只要Arod继续成为她的炒作，并且人群中的那个人这样做：

Last night, JLo gave us everything she could and I wasn’t mad at it. She also reminded us why she’s so iconic. Sure, we like her music and her music videos but the fascination with Jennifer Lopez is that she has shared it all: work life and love life and those personal details have always been just as integral as the hit songs and choreography. We’ve been obsessed with knowing who JLo is obsessed with for 20 years. Is it fitting that for the highlight of her career, she finally found her “twin soul”? Are the rom-coms making me delusional? I just love JLo in love.
