Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull made a splash – literally – at the Premios Juventud Awards in Miami earlier tonight! The duo performed their hits On The Floor, Dance Again, and Live it Up (and Don’t Stop The Party) in a nearly 7-minute long performance. A lucky group of BBers were lucky enough to attend the show and watch it live! Here is Yoan’s video from the show:

After Jennifer dried off and glammed up again, she picked up her Worldwide Icon Award:
She became very emotional. but despite that she delivered a great speech. I’ve translated what she said because I found it very inspiring!
When I look at all those images and all of your beautiful faces, I feel very lucky to be here tonight. What I’ve always wanted to do with my life is create, sing, dance, act, entertain, and be a good person. I love what I do. I am an artist.
I know that being a role model for my community means being responsible for my actions. I’m a human being, and of course, I make mistakes. But I promise that when I fall, I always get back up. When I’m wrong, I learn my lesson and am ready to face new challenges. To me, that is living your best life – doing your best work while being the best person you can be.
Hopefully, along the way, you can make your family and community proud. If I’ve inspired you or made your life more enjoyable, or helped you dream and realize that you can achieve those dreams, then it was all worth it. I receive this award with a lot of humility and I am very thankful. Thank you for this special award. I love you all very much!
After picking up her award, Jennifer tweeted:
Gracias. Blessed. #PremiosJuventud http://t.co/JgsoLHdhst
