Sorry for posting this so late, JLovers, I was on vacation for a few days! Jennifer appeared on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon last week. It was a fun and viral appearance, as their “Ew” skit has already racked up almost 10 million views on Youtube!
Jennifer also played Password with Jimmy and Khloe Kardashian and took some time to chat about Shades of Blue.
There were also a couple of gallery updates:

Jennifer Lopez was photographed shopping with Leah Remini in Beverly Hills yesterday. She kept her look casual, but chic. I don’t know why, but it reminds me of Jennifer from the early 2000s! Check it out:

I flew across the country to see All I Have last week, and I must say it was absolutely worth it! JLovers, you do NOT want to miss the show. I attended the show on Wednesday and on Saturday.
The show, of course, takes place at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood. Once you enter the venue, you are presented with some of Jennifer’s famous outfits, including her green Versace dress!

Then it’s time for the show! The opening was absolutely spectacular and one of my favorite parts of the show. I don’t want to spoil too much, but it was magical, beautiful, over-the-top, sparkly, and dance-heavy! It was put together so creatively, from the first moment when the “instruments” started tuning. It was really the perfect start to a JLo show!
After the big opening with If You Had My Love, Love Don’t Cost a Thing, Got a Lot o’ Livin’ to Do, and Get Right (with the cane dance, of course!), it was time for a brief interlude to take things back to the Bronx. The video screens worked particularly well during the Bronx act, simulating a subway ride through the Bronx.
Jennifer interacted with the crowd throughout the show, grabbing hands, singing with some lucky fans in the pit, and even letting a fan borrow her sequined Yankees cap.
Being a Jennifer Lopez show, of course there were plenty of outfit changes, both on & off-stage. At one point, she playfully sang a few lines from Louboutins as she glamorously switched shoes while on stage, which I absolutely loved! That’s still one of my favorites, so I was thrilled to see that tiny tidbit live.
Another highlight was the Feel The Light, I Hope You Dance/Clarity segment. As soon as Jennifer announced the residency, I hoped she would include a performance similar to her 2015 American Idol performance, so I absolutely loved this. It was visually stunning and such a sweet, emotional part of the show. Plus, I never thought I’d hear Jennifer sing a country song, though she put her spin on it, just like she tells the Idol contestants!
It would be crazy not to mention the Celia Cruz tribute. This section featured some of my favorite dance sequences. It was so fun to watch and I couldn’t help but dance along, even though I have no rhythm and should never dance, haha.
My favorite interlude was just before the last act, when two dancers manipulated Waiting For Tonight-esque lasers. Very very cool! Just when you think she will be launching into Waiting For Tonight, she appears singing TENS, which was completely unexpected!
Watching Jennifer perform, it is completely evident how much she LOVES to perform. I just love watching her, and the finale, with Dance Again and On The Floor was another highlight. I always love when she performs those two. I don’t know if it’s because I love them so much, but she always looks so happy to me when she performs those songs and the crowd jumps and sings along.
After the show, I had the opportunity to see Jennifer and gush about the show and how much she inspires me. She was so beautiful and so nice, as always. I posted some photos of the stage in the gallery along with my photos of the show:

A bit late, because I was in Vegas to see All I Have, but Shades of Blue has been renewed for a second season! Via NBC’s press release:
“We want to thank Jennifer, who is the hardest working woman we know, for her incredible efforts as both the star and producer of this show, as well as well as our other amazing producers and cast for all their tireless work in creating one of the most compelling dramas on television today,” said NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke. “We’re so excited to find out where this story will lead and have them raise the stakes even higher in what we know will be a fantastic second season.”
In Live +3 results from Nielsen Media Research through its first three telecasts, “Shades of Blue” has averaged a 2.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 11.2 million viewers overall. “Shades of Blue” has delivered NBC’s first Thursday 10-11 p.m. ET time period wins with in-season regular programming over original competition on ABC and CBS since March 2010 in 18-49 and since March 2008 in total viewers.
“Shades of Blue” is also one of the most time-shifted shows on television, with its most recent Live +7 Nielsen results lifting the show by +95% in 18-49 versus its live plus same day rating (from a 1.32 to a 2.57) and by +4.7 million viewers overall (6.6 million to 11.3 million). The +95% gain was the #1 biggest percentage increase for the week of Jan. 11-17 on the Big 4 networks and was the #1 biggest Live +7 percentage lift so far this season for Week 2 of a new series on those nets.
The series and its cast have been critically applauded by several prominent publications, including The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Los Angeles Times and TV Guide.
Congrats to Jennifer and the rest of the cast and crew!!
