It was a Super Bowl Half Time Show like no other. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, two of the world’s most popular music artists, wowed the crowd with their 12-minute performance belting 20 of their hit songs one after the other.
“Let's show the world what two little Latin girls can do,” Jennifer Lopez told Shakira shortly before they started their performance, BBC reported. And they did exactly just that by proving they could belly dance, sing, knee slide, play drums, and pole dance.
They went all out to ramp up the crowd’s energy level by choosing upbeat music. Concentrating on their biggest hits, Jennifer Lopes and Shakira impressed the crowd even more with their breathing-taking dance choreography.
They really proved that they can sing and dance simultaneously and, as Lady Gaga requested of Super Bowl performers, there was no lip-syncing. The pair breezed through 20 songs in just 12 minutes while spinning and dancing to the beat, proving just what pros they are as live performers.
Shakira performed first with her danceable “She Wolf,” followed by “Empire.” She was later accompanied by the Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny in a duet covering Cardi B’s “I Like It.” She finished her six-minute part with her hit “Hips Don’t Lie.”
Jennifer Lopez followed next arriving in grand style alongside a replica of the Empire State while singing her hit “Jenny on the Block.” Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin later joined her for some Latin songs such as “Que Calor” and “Mi Gente. Her 11-year-old daughter Emme Maribel Muñiz is clearly blessed with her mom’s talent as she performed a duet with her mother’s hit “Let’s Get Loud.”
Even their fellow music artists thoroughly enjoyed the performance. “The choreo.... the throwback songs.... the production... Emme’s surprise appearance. Incredible @jlo @shakira! #SuperBowl,” Ryan Seacrest tweeted, according to Fox News. “Still recovering from that halftime show. Amazing job @jlo @shakira! #SuperBowl” he later added.
Lady Gaga, a seasoned stage performer herself, had nothing but praises for the two as well. “@JLo and @shakira and all the special guests were so incredible!!!” Gaga tweeted. “What a fun halftime show I danced and smiled the whole time. Such powerful sexy women!!!! On camera and off!!!!! Love you beautiful sexy talented women __ #SuperBowlHalftimeShow #SuperBowl”
