Beyoncé Fans Blast Jennifer Lopez For Allegedly Copying “Drunk In Love” Performance

Jennifer Lopez Performing at the 2020 American Music Awards (AMAs)

Last night, the American Music Awards took place live, in-person, and indoors despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Jennifer Lopez’s (@jlo) performance raised heads as it looked a little bit too similar to Beyoncé (@beyonce) and Jay-Z’s (@allthingjayz) 2014 Grammy duet. J. Lo’s striking performance included the songs “Pa’ Ti” and “Lonely” as she shared the stage with Maluma.

Fans were quick to point out the similarities in the “Drunk In Love” performance and J. Lo’s. Her hair, the stage lighting, the fog, and the dance moves name just a few. Beyoncé’s fans, also known as the BeyHive, refused to keep quiet about the whole thing and took it to social media to share their thoughts and opinions. See one of the memes a fan made below.

Other Performances

Additionally, other debates were made after the AMAs. Doja Cat’s win for Best Female Artist Soul/R&B has been the topic of discussion as people define what exactly R&B music sounds like. Taylor Swift won Artist of the Year while up against Post Malone, The Weeknd, Roddy Rich, and Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber’s opening performance was a roller coaster of emotions for himself and for those watching. He started with the slow and somber “Lonely” and then switched it up to his bright “Holy”. His use of mirrors as props got his point of self-reflection across, although the choreography didn’t add much to the performance.

Katie Perry’s duet with Darius Rucker got some negative comments due to their voices not meshing together quite perfectly, despite their efforts in the stripped-down ballad.

Megan Thee Stallion killed her “Body” performance, and Billie Eilish did a fantastic job singing her new “Therefore I Am”.

Taraji P. Henson hosted the ceremony, and other performers included The Weeknd, Nelly, Dua Lipa, Lil Baby and more.
