She started taking singing and dancing lessons when she was 5 years old.} ]]> 2019-03-10 16:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339692731 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339694228 <sub>First album, "On The 6", referencing the subway train
linking the Bronx and Manhattan, was released late
1999. The album consisted of both English-speaking and Spanish-speaking songs. Her boyfriend at the time, rapper P-Diddy, produced the album. The song "If You Had My Love" went to number 1 in the US and "Waiting for Tonight" peaked in the top ten. The ballad "No Me Ames" was a success in the Billboard Latin charts.

Album cover image suggests a girl-next-door persona, catering to many audiences. She looks innocent whilst also portraying sexiness; minimal make up, but not a lot of clothing in a full body shot entices the customer. It is worth noting that this album says 'Jennifer Lopez' and not 'J.Lo' which she uses later in her career. 

Some of the entertainment industry were "surprised", wondering why "an accomplished actor would risk venturing into the music business" (Márquez, 2001; p47). However, after the album's success, the "music industry and public were intrigued" by her because of her "many talents" (Márquez, 2001; p48).</sub>]]> 2019-03-10 16:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339694228 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339694497 2019-03-10 16:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339694497 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339711987 <sub>Her second album, entitled "J.Lo.",was released in 2001; the same week her movie "The Wedding Planner" was released. This made her the first woman to have an album and film top the charts simultaneously in the US. The album, again, featured English and Spanish songs, and "Love Don't Cost A Thing"
became a huge success charting at number 1.
This album led to a remixed version of the album,
due to success of a remix of "I'm Real". 


Album cover image is a lot more striking than the first album, as it seems that by this time Lopez had made a name for herself so could have an album cover like this, featuring just her face. She looks powerful and independent, but also more grown up, with more make up and jewellery.  The name has changed from Jennifer Lopez to JLo on this album, suggesting a change in persona.</sub> ]]> 2019-03-10 18:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339711987 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714037 2019-03-10 18:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714037 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714378 <sub>In late 2002, she released her third studio album; "This is Me... Then". It was comprised of all English songs, which was the first of all her albums to do so. It was dedicated to her fiancé at the time, actor Ben Affleck. This album featured her most iconic single "Jenny From The Block". 

The album cover seems to revert back to a more innocent looking persona, with light colours and white clothing. The name is changed back to Jennifer Lopez, however J.Lo as a nickname which definitely stuck from the public.</sub> ]]> 2019-03-10 18:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714378 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714701 2019-03-10 18:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339714701 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339716093 _{After her first three album's Lopez decided to focus on her acting career and therefore singing went on the back-burner. It was not until 2005 that "Rebirth", her fourth studio album, was released. She continued to record only English-speaking songs. 
This album signifies a new era of her life, which the 3 year break from music helped with, calling it a "new beginning", hence the name "Rebirth". She described her career and her private lif, as a such "roller coaster ride" that she needed some time for herself. During this time, she had split from Ben Affleck and married Spanish singer Marc Anthony; her music reflects what she may have learnt from her last album and relationship, that confessing so much love and admiration for Affleck in her music for the public to hear was a mistake. The music on this album is a bit more private, only referencing Anthony a few times.
The album cover image is very similar to album one and three; the only real difference is her black clothing, in comparison to white in the previous albums. She isn't showing a fire-y image like album 2 but seems to still showcase her independence and new beginnings.} ]]> 2019-03-10 18:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339716093 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339716395 2019-03-10 18:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/339716395 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341368884 2019-03-14 15:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341368884 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341369167 _{She is very open about her private life, sharing many aspects of it, including this engagement (as well as all other relationships she is known for).}]]> 2019-03-14 15:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341369167 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341387872 2019-03-14 15:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341387872 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/341402427 Academic Source: Márquez, H.

The idea of her being a celebrity in general makes her more famous regardless of what she works on; her personas of J.Lo and Jenny from the Block are arguably what makes her famous. However, you cannot deny her success as a star. She encompasses the notion of crossover stardom in general, achieving equal fame between film, music and dance. This makes her a star beyond just one realm of stardom; cross-market synergy. She is most notably analysed through her ethnic identity; the way she portrays her Latinx roots in a predominantly white industry.

I would argue this is a generic definition, however using this definition I can then look into the celebrity types and see that they bleed into each other and are more defined with each celebrity. Jennifer Lopez is, what I would argue to be, an 'achieved celebrity'. This means she "derives from the perceived accomplishments of the individual in open competition (Chris Rojek, 2001; 18)". However, celebrity types are problematic because “one can argue that celebrities always exist as blended constructions where their status and discursive meaning constantly shifts depending on context, event, and media specificity” (p7 )

This in effect is suggesting that the discussion and press of a female star is driven by their private/domestic life, whereas for male stars it is more about the work they are doing in the public sphere and therefore not focused on their private lives. This is proven with Lopez with the constant press and interviews regarding her personal love life.} ]]> 2019-03-19 12:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/342812371 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/342959498 2019-03-19 16:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/342959498 HannahBriant201197890 https://padlet.com/HannahBriant201197890/uh8m0m1u9c5n/wish/342959902 _{Her ethnicity runs throughout her career as she talks about it a lot and she is not ashamed of where she comes from.
