She became the first Hispanic artist to earn $1 million for a film, the highest paid Hispanic actress in Hollywood, her remix album became the first #1 remix album on the Billboard Hot 100 (tell me how a REMIX album debuting at #1 three years into her music career does not mean impact musically?). Her films grossed over $3 billion, sold 80 million records, inspired Google Images, performed at the Super Bowl decades into her career, a triple threat, relationships are media frenzies (Bennifer major example), has Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, Vanguard Award, Billboard Icon Award and contributed to Latin music popularity in the US. JLO walked so Shakira could run. Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, Bebe Rexha, Becky G, Normani, Fifth Harmony, Rita Ora and others all list her as an influence. 
 

You don’t have to hate her to downplay her legacy and achievements. JLO is the most influential Latina artist musically and in the film industry. 

Do you have videos of those singers citing JLO as an influence?

Im just curious to watch it.

 

Im not, like I said I am a fan of hers but I think there are other female latin artists that had much more of an influence.

Doesnt take away from her accomplishments,

idk all these records she set, thats pretty cool.

[The Queen]

I can't picture Gwen citing JLo as an influence 😄

[S jones]

Sure

What about Selena??
She may be dead but if it werent for her dying, JLO would've NEVER become famous!

 

I like JLO dont get me wrong but she is FAR from influential

Plottwist: She hired the hit on Selena

Can JLo be considered “Latina” like Shakira, Selena, Thalia? JLo was born in America from Puerto Rican parents but she’s not a true Latina. 

Selena also can’t be considered Latina based on your definition since she too was born in America.

[Pacho Munoz]

Oh really? Then give her a f Grammy 

[Ukme]

I loooove JLO but i would never say shes the most influential latin entertainer of all time.

Omg I feel bad for laughing for this but 

[Kand Dion]

Well, to be fair, as it says ENTERTAINER and not singer, I kind of agree. If it would be singer / based on vocals I would take Shakira.

This ***** isn't Latina lmao... first, Puerto Rico is USA territory, also, being Latino is more than a blood thing, it's the whole experience of living in this ****ty third world continent lol. Shakira, honey, I'm so sorry, you don't deserve this disrespect from Grammys, at least we know you write your songs, and more importantly you sing your own songs.

One things for sure is that JLo sure does leave a lot of people feeling pressed.

 

Hate her all you want, but you can't take away her achievements.

 

The only way any of us would see anything close to what's in her bank account is if we won the lottery.
