[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I think both performers are talented and beautiful.  I did notice how much more natural Shakira seemed - which made me think that Shakira was far more beautiful than JLo. Even though looking at each of them on Superbowl night, you might say that JLo was a little more beautiful - with her long and full hair extensions, fillers and plastic surgery, layers of professional stage makeup, and strict work out regimen by her paid personal trainer.

I get it, Shakira is in shape with two young kids, but doesn't seem to need "all that".

I also get it, JLo is 50 and she looks great for 50, but was "all that" necessary to make her point?

Anyway, their job is to look good, almost moreso than sounding good.  I liked Shakira's voice before I really knew what she looked like.  I don't care much for the "get me all your fans and place them in front of my hair (extensions) so it can look dramatic" Beyonce/JLo school of entertaining, but that is just my opinion.  I think overdone is overdone, maybe that's why I appreciate (in this case) Shakira a little more than JLo.

The only thing I noticed that was slightly weird was JLo bending over and showing the audience her (not covered) arse.  I thought the rest of the dancing and even some of the pole performance showed some talent, actually. The only part that really put me off was the overdone part.  I have been in local theatre, so that was my perspective.  I don't get paid for what I do, nor do I pretend to. There was a slight feeling of "okay, we get it", when the arse thing happened.  All of the guys at the Superbowl party (about 30 people, about half guys) I attended seemed to enjoy the performance, that's what guys do.

I don't know what is normal anymore with regard to performance and nudity, because each performance seems to up the ante.  The Superbowl half time show was taken over by a new production company this year, so expect more performances like this year. I most enjoy the performances where the singing outdoes the rest of it.

I am reminded of Pink, during her Grammy performance, where she was suspended in the air while singing.  That to me is incredible, because she did something no one else can do - sing while doing acrobatics above the audience.  She was scantily clad, but it was part of the acrobatics, not part of the "let me show you this many angles of where the sun don't shine".   Also, she didn't need fans blowing her hair extensions for dramatic impact. [/quote]
