Happy 50th Bday J.Lo!

One of my favourite singers Jennifer Lopez just turned 50. It was her birthday on Wednesday (24th July). She celebrated with a big party in Miami. Read about it here: https://people.com/music/jennifer-lopez-50th-birthday-miami-bash/

Jennifer started her career as a Fly Girl dancer on the American TV series In Living Color in the early 90s. She moved into films and her breakout role was in the 1997 movie Selena, in which she starred as real life Mexican American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez who was tragically shot and killed in 1995. 

Her other films since include Anaconda (1997), U Turn (also 1997), Out of Sight (1998), The Wedding Planner (2001), The Back-up Plan (2010),  2015's The Boy Next Door, Second Act (2018) and the upcoming Hustlers. 

She's also returned to TV starring in the crime drama TV series Shades of Blue, and executive producing the reality show World of Dance, on which she also appeared as a co-judge.

In May 1999 Jennifer launched her music career with the single If You Had My Love, followed by her debut album On The 6 in June. I remember when If You Had My Love first came out. (Seems mad that was 20 years ago!) I was 15 at the time and I actually bought the single in Paris. I was on holiday there and went to Virgin Megastores (remember them?)! I then got On The 6 when it came out. I still have the original CD!

Since then she's released 63 singles, including If You Had My Love, Waiting for Tonight, Love Don't Cost a Thing, I'm Real, I'm Into You, On the Floor, First Love, Ain't Your Mama and Medicine. And she's brought out 7 studio albums to date- On the 6, J.Lo (2001), This is Me... Then (2002), Rebirth (2005), the Spanish language Coma Ama Mujer ("How a Woman Loves" in English) in 2007, Brave (also 2007), Love? (2011) and AKA (2014).

She also has two remix albums,  2002's J to tha Lo: The Remixes (I have this; my fave remix on there is Ain't It Funny Murder Remix feat. Ja Rule and Cadillac Tah) and Dance Again... The Hits (2012); as well as an EP The Reel Me, released in 2003.

My favourite album is still On the 6 and second to that would be J.Lo. My fave singles are If You Had My Love, I'm Real remix and I'm Into You, although I like lots of others.

J.Lo is currently on her It's My Party tour (named in honour of her birthday) which started in June and finishes tomorrow.

So to celebrate her birthday, here is a round-up of posts. :)

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
