At 50yrs old she's too old for an ICON award, if awards shows are giving them to 25yr olds. At Jlo's age, I 'm sure her fans would expect her to get a legend award or something. I hope my favs never accept ICON awards only legend awards. When folks think of this award they will always think of a 25yr getting it first, doesn't matter if its a different award show.
You've tried it.
But we all know she begin her popstar career at almost 30 (29).
Yesterday it was If You Had My Love 15th Bday. So shut up hunni please.
I don't get why people are being so hostile towards this. Jennifer Lopez has hits (in the music industry), critical acclaim, longevity, a strong career at Hollywood. I mean she has accomplished so much that she should be out on another level. She really deserves this award.
I'm literally laughing while I stare at my laptop screen just anticipating all the pressed comments. This is almost the same feeling I got when Jennifer got #1 on Forbes a couple years ago. SEETHE ATRL SEETHE
I KNOW!!!!! Can't wait to see reactions!
ATRL is the only place on EARTH where JLo is underrated
Jennifer Lopez will be feted with the Icon Award at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards.
The pop superstar will be on hand to collect the prestigious award at the annual ceremony, to be held May 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. And she’ll grace the stage to perform with one of the night’s finalists Pitbull to premiere the official anthem of this year’s FIFA World Cup, “We Are One (Ole Ola).”
Lopez will give another debut performance on the night with a rendition of "First Love," a single lifted from her new studio album "A.K.A.," which is set for release on June 17.
The Icon Award is the BBMA’s ultimate honor. The accolade recognizes lifetime achievement and an artist’s remarkable and enduring contribution to popular music. Lopez becomes just the fourth artist and the first woman, joining past winners include Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder and Prince.
"Jennifer Lopez is one of the most iconic performers of her generation,” comments Larry Klein, producer of the Billboard Music Awards. “We are thrilled to honor her historic career with the 2014 Icon Award and will be on the edge of our seats lik" everyone else when she takes the stage."
