Jennifer Lopez, Adam Lambert and Janet Jackson Performing Live at AMAs Tonight
Performers have been rehearsing hard for weeks for their live performances tonight at the American Music Awards tonight. Jennifer Lopez hasn't performed live on TV in years and admitted she is a bit nervous. But director/choreographer Kenny Ortega saw her rehearsal and said she was fantastic. Jennifer is reportedly wearing shoes especially designed for her by Christian "Comfort is Not a Priority for Me" Louboutin for her performance of her new song "Louboutins."
Lopez is in top form, but she's still a little nervous. She'll be singing a song fans have never heard before and performing live on TV for the first time in years.
"You know what you're doing and you feel very good about it, but at the same time, you wouldn't be human if you're not afraid," she said after her rehearsal.
She's set to perform Louboutins, the first single from her new album, Love?— due in stores next year. Flanked by backup dancers, the 40-year-old entertainer busts out her Fly Girl moves in a number that begins in a boxing ring and ends in the audience. Famed sports announcer Michael Buffer is in the act, too.
"I think it's going to be good," she said. "Dancing again, singing, the lights and the costumes -- it all feels like second nature."
Veteran choreographer Kenny Ortega, director of Michael Jackson's This Is It, gave Lopez's performance a positive review.
"Awesome," he said after dropping by the Nokia Theatre to watch her rehearse.
As for Adam Lambert, he's incorporating leather and chains into his act. But it gets better. Apparently the number includes him dragging a woman across the stage. Janet Jackson will open the show with a surprise number.
