‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told’ Review: Jennifer Lopez Learns Love’s Cost in Revelatory Making-Of Doc

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Fifty may be the new forty in some areas of life, but popular music isn’t one of them. With very few exceptions, pop musicians make their most vital work in their twenties and early thirties, and even if they continue to perform to sold-out arenas into their eighties, as the Rolling Stones have, the fans are largely indifferent to their new music and just want to hear the hits — leading to the seemingly counterintuitive situation of artists with sold-out tours connected to new albums that are, comparatively anyway, flops.

Jennifer Lopez has released a new version of ‘This Time Around’, featuring K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE.The new remix of ‘This Time Around’ doesn’t deviate far from the original track, but replaces the song’s original third verse for new lyrics written and performed by the Korean five-piece. The verse includes vocals from Soyeon, Minnie, Yuqi and Miyeon, with remaining member Shuhua currently on hiatus since February.“What is wrong? Our love-hate is bruised with false rumours / It’s not worth it, laugh it all out with heartbreak within gossip / I’m in your arms all night long / We laughed and cried when we were immature, bad love / Yeah you know, they’re sort of doing it the wrong way,” Soyeon and Minnie sing on the new verse.Notably, this alternate version of ‘This Time Around’ credits (G)I-DLE leader Soyeon as a co-composer and co-lyricist alongside others who were involved in the production of the original song, including Lopez herself.‘The Time Around’ originally appeared on Lopez’s latest studio album ‘This Is Me… Now’, which was released on February 16 alongside its accompanying film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, which is loosely based on Lopez’ love life with husband Ben Affleck.During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in support of the releases, Lopez described the album as the culmination of her career.

and the , maximalism is clearly having a moment—and Jennifer Lopez is clearly taking note when it comes to her nail designs.J.Lo’s go-to nail artist, celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik, shared a behind-the-scenes look at the nail look for Lopez’s semi-autobiographical album and film . Dubbed a Latina mani by Bachik, the mixed-medium style is autobiographical, nodding to Lopez’s Puerto Rican heritage with Hispanic-Catholic symbolism.“It’s all in the details,” Bachik wrote in his caption revealing the manicure, and that it certainly is: The ornate design consists of classic Hispanic-Catholic iconography such as crosses, roses, rosaries, and the Virgin of the Sacred Heart overlaid on a medium-length squoval base.But that’s not all: Each middle finger was complete with literal hoop piercings.

“The Greatest Love Story Never Told” when the Bronx-born diva questions just how much the public might care about her — and her much-hyped comeback album “This Is Me… Now” — in today’s pop landscape.After all, it has been 10 years since Lopez’s last studio LP, 2014’s “A.K.A.” — and a whole 22 years since 2002’s “This Is Me… Then” gave her two of her biggest hits in “Jenny from the Block” and “All I Have.” “I didn’t even have to make the record,” says Lopez, 54, in the doc, which premiered on Prime Video Monday night.“It’s not like anybody was clamoring for the next J.Lo record, you know what I mean?”Well, damn, she was sure right about that.Despite a major promotional campaign — including a star-studded short film, “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story,” that accompanied the album release — Lopez’s ninth studio LP made an absolutely abysmal debut on the Billboard 200 at No. 38.Just to put that into perspective, seven of the singer’s previous studio albums debuted in the Top 10 — with 2001’s “J.Lo” opening all the way up at No.

Jennifer Lopez has said that her new album ‘This Is Me… Now’ is the result of a “20 year journey” that has encompassed her “entire music career”. The album was released yesterday (February 16), alongside its accompanying film This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a fictionalised account of Lopez’ love life with Ben Affleck. In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Lopez spoke about the two projects, saying that they are all about her “reconciling” the last two decades of “growth and all the falling down and getting up” that she has done.

Jane Fonda isn’t afraid to give Jennifer Lopez her very honest opinion about her marriage with Ben Affleck!

Todd Gilchrist editor Jennifer Lopez has spent the better part of her career navigating the two halves of her public persona: Bronx-born girl next door “Jenny from the block” and Hollywood power player “J.Lo.” Though much of the tension between the two has been amplified by media coverage that spans calculated marketing campaigns and inescapable paparazzi scrutiny, Lopez has frequently seemed to capitulate to whichever of the two serves her best at the time. “This is Me…Now: A Love Story” is, on its face, the visual component of her self-funded ninth studio album, and at a reported $20 million price tag it’s easy to see it first and foremost as an advertisement.

You kinda have to love the Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck marriage and relationship. One is a pop superstar who craves the spotlight, and the other is an actor/director who had his fill of fame in the ’90s and seemingly craves his own privacy.

Jennifer Lopez’s much-anticipated new album “This Is Me… Now” — the sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which drops on Friday — once again revolves around her Hollywood love affair with “Gigli” co-star Ben Affleck.But just like that much-maligned romantic comedy did in 2003, Lopez’s first studio album in 10 years — since 2014’s “A.K.A.” — proves yet again that sometimes art and amor just don’t mix.First off, like most sequels, it pales compared to the original.While it was hardly Janet Jackson’s “The Velvet Rope,” Rihanna’s “Anti” or Beyoncé’s anything, “This Is Me… Then” was probably J.Lo’s most “artistic” album.Yes, it had two hit hip-pop bops in “Jenny from the Block” — which infamously featured Affleck in its video — and the lip-licking LL Cool J collab “All I Have.” But Lopez’s third studio LP also found the singer-actress digging for more emotional depth than she had shown on either 1999’s “On the 6” or 2001’s “J.Lo.”But you know what? “On the 6” and “J.Lo” were ultimately better albums because Lopez played to her strengths with booty-shaking beats — the better to hoof it up in some killer couture — rather than heart-tugging feels.And “This Is Me… Now” leans even more into J.Lover rather than J.Lo.While the first single, “Can’t Get Enough” — another hip-pop bop that samples Alton Ellis’ ’60s reggae classic “I’m Still in Love with You” while nodding to Marcia Aitken’s 1977 version of the song— would’ve been a hit 20 years ago, the rest of Lopez’s ninth studio album finds the Bronx-born diva stuck in a romantic rut.
