Jennifer Lopez slammed for 'disgusting' act at AMAs as fans speechless
Jennifer Lopez has been criticised for her performance at the American Music Awards in Las Vegas when she kissed both male and female dancers live on air
Jennifer Lopez has been criticised over her American Music Awards performance. The singer appeared during the opening performance of the awards show in Las Vegas on Monday.
J-Lo performed a huge six minute medley of songs from some of the biggest nominees of the evening, including the likes of Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish, Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter and Texas Hold 'Em by Beyonce.
During the performance, the singer left people cringing over the "disgusting" kisses she shared with both her male and female dancers. Some said she had gone "too far" by kissing her female dancer.
"Jennifer Lopez has lost the plot," one wrote, whilst another added: "Why is Jennifer Lopez kissing everyone at the AMAs?" A third shared: "Just looked up from my phone and JENNIFER LOPEZ IS KISSING A GIRL?!?!"
Following her performance, she told fans at the awards and those watching from home: "I had to kick things off by turning it up to the biggest songs of the year and dancing my heart out for all of you, but tonight, the spotlight belongs to you, because this is the world's largest fan-voted award show where you decide the winners."
She later spoke to Extra about her performance, telling them: "There were a few spicy moments in there! It's what the kids call going viral. I felt like it went really really well - it was perfect, it was fun ...
"My favourite part of the show was the Janet Jackson part, and being able to say she was one of my biggest inspirations. There was a lot of beautiful moments tonight."
Jennifer was also on hosting duties for the event, the first time she has fronted it in a decade - having originally hosted it back in 2015. Artist of The Year was won by singer Billie Eilish, who beat Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar and Zack Bryan to be given the top prize of the night.
"This is so crazy. I feel speechless. I wish I could be there tonight," she said in a video filmed in Europe, where she is currently on tour.
Jennifer used the AMAs to announce her residency in Las Vegas. Sharing her latest career venture, she said: "Jennifer Lopez: Up All Night Live in Las Vegas", will take over The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for four nights in December and January.
"I'm doing a residency in Las Vegas! Join me for Up All Night Live In Las Vegas At The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Dec 30 – Jan 3, & select dates in March! Tickets on sale Friday, June 6 at 10 AM PT."

‘I might die if I stop', says Rod Stewart as he opens up on his health & touring
He also told how he stays silent for up to 10 hours before gigs FOREVER YOUNG 'I might die if I stop', says Rod Stewart as he opens up on his health & touring Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR Rod Stewart has said he fears he will die if he gives up touring. The 80-year-old music legend is about to embark on a world tour and has said he has no plans to retire from performing. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Rod Stewart said he fears he will die if he packs in touring Credit: Getty 2 He and former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood will take to the stage at Glastonbury this year Credit: Redferns The Maggie May singer said having to take to the stage every night gives him a reason to get up in the morning and encourages him to keep fit and healthy. Sir Rod told how he has seen many friends pass away shortly after giving up work and he doesn't want the same thing to happen to him. He has dates lined up all over the world this year including the Legends slot at Glastonbury next month. He said: "I enjoy going out on tour now more than I've ever done at this ripe old age of 80. "I'm doing seven concerts in Vegas and then I am everywhere around the world. "I'm playing Athens, Germany, three nights in Buenos Aires, two nights in Rio, it goes on and on and on. "It keeps me fit. You have got to be fit to do it. "I would probably die if I didn't do it. I have seen so many guys that have to give up their career and retire and they have got nothing to wake up in the morning for. "I don't know what they do with themselves. They must get up and go 'What do I do today? Down the betting shop? Have a drink?' I don't know." Speaking on the That Peter Crouch podcast, Sir Rod also told how he stays silent for up to 10 hours before gigs to protect his voice. Rod Stewart parties with Rolling Stones legend as he celebrates 80th birthday He said he indulges in his passion for model railroading while refusing to speak to anybody. He said: "I warm up for about an hour and I warm down for about three quarters of an hour after every show. "I also have to not talk too much. If my voice feels a little like it's not there I close down and go silent for 10 hours during the day. "That's where the model railroading comes in handy because I take it on the road with me. "If I have got to build a factory I have cases, paints and tools and the hotel will give me a special room to be a workshop." Sir Rod has confirmed he will take to the stage with his former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood at Glastonbury. Earlier this week the singer, who is married to former model Penny Lancaster, said he was "absolutely flabbergasted" to be presented with a prestigious lifetime achievement award by his children. The father-of-eight was introduced to the stage at the American Music Awards by five of his grown-up children.
