The history of American Music Awards Jennifer Lopez far surpasses her nine performances in 2015 as a solo star and first host stint.
Long Ago Fly Girl made her debut at the show in 1991, making her debut as a backup dancer for new kids on the block. She was only 21 and 10 years away from Superstarm when she rocked her jeans and leather jackets to unleash the 90s dance moves during the “game.”
The AMA show “has been a major part of my musical journey and history,” she tells USA Today during a break from rehearsal ahead of Monday’s awards.
Lopez, 55, will be taking on a double mission as this year’s Amas host and performer since the late Dick Clark began producing in 1974.
And yes, there’s dance.
“I don’t think there was a performance that didn’t dance!” she says with a knowing laugh.
The Awards will be streaming live on CBS and Paramount+ from Fontainebleau Las Vegas on May 26th until 5pm.
Benson Boone, Blake Shelton, Gloria Estefan, Gwen Stefani, Rainey Wilson and Renee Rapp are among the artists who perform alongside Icon Award-winning Janet Jackson and Lifetime Achievement Award winner Rod Stewart.
Top candidates for the fan-voting show include Kendrick Lamar (10), Post Malone (8), Billy Eilish, Chapel Lawn, Shaboosie (all 7), and Taylor Swift, the best AMA leader of all time, adding six nominations to his 40 wins, the 60 wins this year.
“I believe it or not, I’m very shy. I’m a performer, so if there’s a script or a song, I can and love doing it. But hosting is a different skill set.
However, she agreed to the job of shutting down the show for the current musical landscape.
“I now find music really exciting because Spanish music is so global. I love how Gloria (Estefan) is respected as a pioneering crossover artist, and I love all new artists because there is no specific sound,” she says.
Lopez will film and film the romantic comedy “Office Romance” with Brett Goldstein and will appear in the musical thriller “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” which will be released on October 10th.
When it comes to music, I say, “I have a few things on my sleeve.”
But first, she will support her peers from the wings when she is not in the spotlight.
“I hope (people) have fun and have a good time,” she says. “And that means they will feel their influence in choosing and supporting them as their favourite artist.”
