They Should Just Do Their Own Thing

mx0077319.jpg

America just does not like these two together!

On the heels of their underperforming movie El Cantante, which dropped more than 56% this at the box office this weekend, the much hyped Jennifer Lopez/Marc Anthony has come out the gates with a whimper.

Tickets for many cities (including Atlantic City, Chicago, Washington DC and two shows in New York) went on sale this weekend and not one show sold out. Sales were just soft.

In fact, a few of the shows are so undersold, you can still get floor seats or Lower Level seats near the stage on Ticketmaster.com.

J. Lo, who has never done a proper tour of the U.S., should have just done her own show. Then we wouldn't have to sit through all of Skeletor's songs!

      OMG Perez que pena!!! Anywhoo…I love how my fellow latinos stand up for each other. Marc is obviously the shining star here. I'd go running to buy the tickets if it was him alone! I have been to every one of his concerts in NYC in Madison Square Garden and there wasn't an empty seat in the house! How many concerts has he sold out ALONE? Please gringos (no offense but really) this man is an icon in Latin America and a legend in the making. Just because he is now married to JLo, you think he is Mr. Jennifer Lopez? In Latin America that is sooo not the case. He is far more the bigger celebrity with the chops to prove it. I love JLo and all but she cant sing if her life depended on it.

      Por Dios!! Gigli taught them nothing…
      If J-LO brings Mark Anthony down with her, its a sad day in the latin music world.
      A great talent like Mark needs to keep doing his own thing and leave Jennifer to her perfumes, fashion and other pretty things she does.
      Now, I hear they plan on being the latin Faith Hill & Tim Mcgraw and tour together. What a mistake!!
      No!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for Mark to come back to T.O but after hearing this, I plan on not going. Que Viva Salsa & Mark and Adios J-Lo!!

      Marc Anthony is definately the talent in this couple. Latin America adores him and his music. White america doesn't understand the talent Marc Anthony holds for us latinos. His music throughout the years has been consistent. So before speaking of the man do your research because he is hot, hot, hot and has been very successful for years before Jennifer came around. I love Jo lo too but she is a force on her own.

      Fionalicious is sooo right!! latinamerican people, and FINALLY, boricuas are now understanding that this woman ain't embracing her so called roots from puerto rico, she only uses it when it's convenient for her Career.
      salma hayek said it a couple of years ago, Jennifer is American she is not boricua, she arrived for the first time in san juan when she was 25 years old i think, she can't speak spanish and yes for the person who said the language does not matter yes it does. According to UNESCO, the language is the first big element for the culture you own… lopez is soo american, plus has no talent at all…. Shakira is way better than her and she really is a latina!

      Personally I am tired of hearing about these two, BUT, there is no doubt that Marc Anthony is the star here. To all those people that criticize his looks, you have a lot to learn. He may not be the most handsome, but when it comes to singing, he is fabulous. Jennifer cannot come even close to his singing range or talent. She should stick to dancing. Marc's voice has been complemented by the biggest of stars. He has the voice of an angel and anyone who has heard him sing knows this. There is no lip-syncing with him. Whether these two will last, who knows, but I wish Marc the best. He is by far the talented one here.

      How dare you #135.
      We are US citizens from the moment of birth, no green cards needed here and may I say we have paid a dear price for it. It's about time, believe it or not, we finally have a film out portraying and memoralizing one version of the life of a great singer from Puerto Rico. That's right, one great singer that succumbed to the usual forces that has killed many other great artists too early. I thank both Jennifer and Marc for that. They are true innovators and risk takers in the face of all the haters that this country continues to breed. I saw the movie on day one at the Lincoln Center Theatre, NYC, and it was sold out. I felt it and recognized a time I experienced. It hurt in some respects but reality bites sometimes. But, of course, I know more of my history than most of you out there know about anything and everything you comment on. Have some respect for the written word, if not yourself, even if no one can see you. QUE VIVA LA MUSICA SIEMPRE. Still miss you Ray Barretto.

      Mark Anthony is a heroin addict looks like a shaking,and afraid chiguagua. Hes eyes are bulging out and he swears he's GQ because he hangs out with david beckham. what does JLO see in him but a skinny looking raccoon

      221

      JLo is a leech on the Latin community and wants to further her career via Skeletor. Although Skeletor looks like a crack head, he does have singing capabilities. JellyHO on the other hand has little talent other than doing anything to further her career. She should stick to dancing in videos like in her "Fly Girl" days. She does the Latino community a disservice with her lack of grace and command of the Spanish language.

      perez, come on i thought that you would have done a better job of supporting one of your own (latinos). the movie is great, i want to see it again. and i definetly thought that you would have done a better job at least supporting the movie, if anything out of prinicpal. :(

      Why do people have to comment on subjects they know nothing about. Marc Anthony is a wonderful singer and performer. I have been a fan for many years. Seen him in concert four times and would love to see him again, but I won't spend one red cent to go see him with JHo. If anything, she is dragging him way down.

      Love his music forever. Fionalicious, you were right on the money with your comment!

      Give me a break Perez! Marc Anthony is one of the greatest Salsa singers that there has ever been.
      It is very obvious that you don't know how to appreciate music or talent all together. Marc & Jennifer are great together.
      Shame on everyone that doesn't get or appreciates "El Cantante"

    26. diane says – reply to this


      226

      HELLO what are you talking about Perez? Marc Anthony has far more talent than J-lo any day of the week. Give me a break! he can sing his ass off, she just knows how to market herself, give the man his due. In El Cantante he was very good, she ruined the whole movie. Perez be fair

      For those of you in this blog, that keeps on calling latin people brown, wetbags, whatever. I will suggest, grab a backpack and travel the world, so you can appreciate the different cultures, customs, and how people appreciate each other without looking at anybody's skin color. There are people from every different racial background in latin american coutries, that's what makes them so hot looking, and then you have people in this country who live in L.A, and think that if your Latin you are suppose to stuff your mouth with some hot chili peppers, or if you live in Miami and your latin, you better be eating some rice and beans.

      The Ignorance in this country is what's causing the world's hatred tours americans.

      wow… people on here are so stupid… Marc Anthony is superrr talented, has years and years of fame and success all over Latin America and beyond.. He can actually sing, and for those of you talking crap, look him up, he didnt become famous because of J-Lo. Stupid asses…get ur heads out of ur butts and get some culture. Marc Anthony is the man..

      The movie was REMARKABLE!!! Jennifer Lopez should get an oscar nod for her performance in El Cantante…I will see this over and over again. Marc Anthony's performance as singer and actor was equally impressive. I hope who ever is readiong this will take me seriously, it was one of the best movies I have seen in months!!

      are you insane?? hes an amazing singer!! The reason for no sales is HER NASAL VOICE!! yeah shes good on the eyes but baaaadd for the ears!!!

      231

      Jennifer getting an Oscar - Yeah, Ok - Sit and wait for that one. It won't happen. The movie itself seemed to concentrate more on Puchi narrating; than the whole story of who Hector Lavoe really was. He was a lot more than someone addicted to drugs. The concert scenes were good; but not long enough. The movie did not concentrate on WHY people adored him so much and WHY he became the "people's singer". Marc is great — Jennifer on the other hand - no comparison. She's a smart promoter of herself and knows what to do when it comes to getting attention; but she should really stick to dancing.

      232

      Obviously none of you guys listen to spanish music…HE IS A BILLION TIMES BETTER than JLo when it comes to singing…I purchased the tickets exclusively for him..there is a reason why he has such an amazing record contract..try looking it up. I can't believe Perez Hilton is not a fan..his first album alone kicks JLo's whole career

      233

      Marc Anthony is a great singer and I bought tickets to the concert just to see him…Jlo is overrated and the reason why she never did a US tour b/f was because she knew she was not going to sell enough tickets. Marc Anthony always sells, and that's why a second show was added in NYC, stop hating PH!

      JLO can't sing, Marc is only trying to help her. Marc Anthony might look like a skelaton, but he has a voice that can knock you on your ass. I won't buy tickets if she is singing with him. Who wants to hear her? Who gives a shit if she is from the Bronx.

      Ahhhhhhh Hahhhhhhhhhhhh, Skeletor, Oh god Thank you for that laugh, the best of my day! Love JLo always have but i so dont get the whole thing, whatever he has, however he bagged the LO? He needs to let al the other ugly guys in the world know his secrets, so they dont have to be alone. JLO please bring your big dancing ass out alone, I will come to see that. BB

      237

      Damn Perez. You're more ignorant that I thought! Marc Anthony is a very talented singer and has sold out several shows BY HIMSELF in the past. JLo on the other hand has never toured until now that she's married to him. Coincidence? I don't think so!

      I think some people just don't want to spend all that money to see JLo screeching live. If it was Marc alone I'm sure that tickets would sell faster.

      BILLBOARD: "Jennifer Lopez recently said that her first ever Spanish language album 'Como Ama Una Mujer' was a longtime dream for her to accomplish. The album debuted in its first week on the Billboard Latin chart at #1 and at #10 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart. She also makes history with the highest sales of a Spanish album debut, inclusive of English and Latin artists. With this chart-topping debut, Jennifer joins an elite number of only five artists to ever land in the top ten with Spanish-language albums; they include Shakira, Maná, Don Omar and Selena. In addition, 'Como Ama Una Mujer' sold more in one week digitally than any other Spanish-language release ever. Internationally, 'Como Ama Una Mujer' had Top 5 debuts in 9 countries including #1 in Switzerland and US Latin, #2 in Italy and Spain and the album entered the European Billboard charts at #3."
      So…all I wanna say is…FUCK YOU HATERS!

      I've grown up listening to marc anthony all of my life and I love him! A lot of people don't know they're history together and are so quick to bitch about them. Marc anthony is perfect for Jennifer. All the non latinos out there don't be so quick to hate on marc he's very talented you're just not very familiar with him yet ! El cantante was not promoted and advertised as much as it should have been and was shown in very few theaters that is why it didn't do as good as it should have !!!!!!
