Jennifer Lopez is one of a kind. She is a queen. She is dynamite. She is everything and so much more to me and her millions of fans, so when I heard she would be performing during President Joe Biden’s inauguration, I was SO excited. When I heard her sing “Let’s Get Loud” during her performance of “America the Beautiful,” I got chills everywhere.
However, some people did not enjoy J.Lo’s signature performance and took to Twitter to air out their grievances.
Jennifer Lopez is one of America’s national treasures.
The Puerto Rican triple threat has been gracing our screens, and our ears, for over 20 years now. There are few celebrities that have stood the test of time like our girl, Jenny From The Block.
So when I heard J.Lo was asked to perform at Joe Biden’s inauguration, I was HARDLY surprised.
When I saw she and her entourage did an entire photoshoot at the Capitol, I was also not surprised.

I mean, seriously, name a better looking power couple than Ms. Lopez and Alex Rodriguez.

Onto Jennifer’s ACTUAL performance!
In case you missed it, J.Lo managed to work in a lyric from her SIGNATURE song, “Let’s Get Loud” while singing a mashup of “This Land is My Land” and “America the Beautiful.”
Her performance also featured a message to Spanish-speaking viewers across the country.
For those who don’t speak Spanish, Jennifer was reciting a line from the Pledge of Allegiance.
She said, “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
It was truly a beautiful and significant moment.
While everyone could appreciate Jennifer addressing the nation in Spanish, a lot of people weren’t thrilled with the inclusion of “Let’s Get Loud.”
“Bro jlo was doing just fine until she said “let’s get Loud” , ma’am this is a Inauguration not your concert” tweeted one viewer.
Was it shocking? Absolutely.
The moment caught me off guard, of course. However, it made me weep with happiness.
She is literally telling Americans to GET LOUD and change the world!
Did I half-expect Pitbull to come out and provide a sick bridge? YES!
I think that was a missed opportunity, tbh.
This is a performance by Jennifer friggin Lopez. What did you expect? She only serves iconic moves.
Sadly, some people felt the inclusion of her own song was not the right call.
I want to be clear to Ms. Lopez that I do NOT feel that way and adore everything that she does.
Thankfully, a lot of people understood what J.Lo was trying to do!
The song itself holds a lot of significance to her Spanish fans, and the message of the song is to be proud of who you are.
To many viewers, J.Lo adding “Let’s Get Loud” was much more meaningful than just a fun addition to the medley.
The level of confidence one needs to have to sing in front of the WORLD like that? Iconic.
I absolutely adored the performance and will be watching it every day for the foreseeable future.
