Yeah Shakira is way bigger, more successful and more legendary than Jennifer. Jennifer's consolation prize is that she is bigger, more successful and more legendary than Pepcé.
But Shaki doesn't have a presence in the movie industry whereas JLo has had critical acclaim in the past.
I like both Shakira and J. Lo but I prefer Shakira more.
J. Lo has always been second/third rate in music. It isn't her first priority. She is A-list in Hollywood though! (Although she was pretty irrelevant from 2004-2011, which is normal since the media burnout was inevitable. She was incredibly overexposed in the early 00s. She was the celeb/it girl of that time).
I asked the DJ at the biggest gay club in Western Canada are you playing Work Bitch tomorrow and he said "duh, I'm going to be playing it throughout the night." Britney her power.
