Jennifer Lopez’s AMAs History: From New Kids on the Block Backup Dancer to Two-Time Host

Here’s a recap of Jennifer Lopez’s American Music Awards performances, from backup dancer behind New Kids on the Block to two-time host.

Jagger, who, like Lopez, has long been famous for his stage moves, did not appear on the AMAs, but the producers laid in video of him performing another song over his vocal parts. Tonight is about the music – and this year’s music made me want to dance.” She then danced to a medley of “Uptown Funk,” “Anaconda,” “7/11,” “Feeling Myself,” “The Hills,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Girl Crush,” “Bad Blood,” “Trap Queen,” “Hotline Bling,” “Thinking Out Loud,” “Love More,” “Where Are Ü Now” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.” The producers sprinkled in reaction shots from a few of the performers whose songs were included, namely Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Little Big Town and Justin Bieber. Notes: Lopez performed this ballad, which gains in tempo as it proceeds, backed by scenes from the film, in which she starred with Owen Wilson, Maluma, John Bradley, Chloe Coleman and Sarah Silverman.
