Yep. Not to mention her hit songs were sung and written by other people such as Ashanti on "I'm Real remix" and Christina Milian on "Play", Puff and Irv just blended their voices with J. Lo's to make her sound better.

Here's the reason why...

Around that time' late 90s, there was a 'Latin explosion' in music. Ricky Martin [Vida Loca], Enrique Iglesias [Bailsmos] were tearing up the charts. Everyone was saying that this is the next big thing in music. Record executives across the board were trying to ride that wave and thus seeking any artist they could find as the next big crossover star.

One strategy was to get Latino stars already popular in Latino countries to make English-speaking albums [see Shakira] and the other approach was to find some US-based Latino artist and market them. It just so happened that Jennifer Lopez had sufficient name recognition at that time due to a few movies, including Selena. She was a perfect fit. Song writers and producers made some songs for her and the marketing teams went to work. That's essentially it.

Crazy work ethic, a good look, and a great agent. Most of the top Pop Stars/Movie Stars aren't all that talented - they just have an inhumane will to succeed, make the right choices, and work constantly. Look at Rihanna, for instance.

She used puff :stopitslime:
And she used hip hop to get to pop music

Her acting actually is the best I've seen from a female singer. She isn't bad at all. I really liked her in Enough.

She got a lot of recognition for playing Selena right after Selena's death. She struck while the iron was hot and began her music career. She was pretty and came out with hits (most that she didn't even sing and that she stole from others usually black artists, but the pulic didn't know that at the time. Jlo can't sing for shxt, she knows it too.

She took her first in into the industry as a dancer on a popular show, then from that went into acting. I'm sure she fcked many industry people as well.

Every time I hear someone say she can't act, I always think they're saying it just to say it. & maybe b/c she was an actress and a singer and that is their sterotype. She was anctress first and got hired frequently way before she was known and her music came out, so yes she can act. She just can't sing.
She's not a singer who acts, she was an actress first.
