The thing that surprised me the most of Jennifer Lopez is she already getmarried for the third times.(1997-1998) She also met Ojani Noa, a waiterat a Miami restaurant. At the wrap party for 'Selena', Noa grabbed themicrophone and offered a Lopez a diamond ring in the middle of the dancefloor. Lopez accepted and the pair married the same year but weredivorced by January 1998. (1999-2001) While working on her first album,On The 6, Jen hit it off with bad boy rapper/producer Sean Combs, Theirtwo-and-half-year relationship was splashed across the media regularlyand the press feasted on one particular story which saw Lopez and Combsinvolved in a gunfire brawl at a New York club in December 1999. Theybreak up soon after the incident . (2001-2002) the blossoming superstarthen married Cris Judd in September 2001 after meeting when he directedher music video Love Don't Cost a Thing.But her second marriage wasn't tobe either, lasting just nine months with a divorce the followingJune.Cris later blamed the split on J-Lo's dedication to her burgeoningcareer.

The super-couple becameknown as "Bennifer" and got engaged in November 2002.The Bennifer weddingwas set for September 2003 but just hours before the ceremony, thenuptials were put on hold, blamed on "excessive media attention.

from a backstage dancer transform to an actor. With the growing of heractor career, she also become a singer. Her hard work had paid off. Sheis the first person to get No1 in both movie and album in the same week.She done the work that no one had ever achieved. She is really successfulas she get a lot of award and nomination. I wish I would be like her as Ican be an actor or singer either dancer at the same time .

Everyone in Latin proud of hersuccess. The negative stuff that jenniferlopez had is her 3 marriages.Her every marriages ended up and get divorced .Maybe, I don’t understandthe life being a celebrities but I don’t agree the way she handle of hermarriages. Once, she get in a relationship with the bad boy rappers . Thepair were stopped by police after the incident and a stolen gun was foundin the front seat of their car for which Lopez was initially charged forgun possession, but charges were dropped later after her appeal that shewas in the back seat of the car during transit. This case has spread allover the global news . This was the relationship I don’t seem like agreedthe way they act because they involved in the crime of stolen gun .luckily, Jennifer proved she is innocent and the charges dropped . If thecase confirmed she has guilty , her career will totally destroyed , sameas her life . if I faced the same thing that Jennifer been through , Iwill break down and panic because I don’t know what is going on and howto handle the situation .

Lyrics of song that I likeFeel the light

Feel better now

Here I go

Here I go

It's better now

Feel better now

Here we go

Here we go

It's better now

Feel better now

Do you remember when we fell under

Did you expect me to reason with thunder

I still remember when time was frozen

What seemed forever was just a moment

Hurry up, hurry up

There's no more waiting

We're still worth saving

Feel the light

Shining in the dark of night

Remember what we forgot

I know it's a long shot

But we're bringing it all back

We're bringing it all back

Feel the light

Shining like the stars tonight

Remember what we forgot

I know it's a long shot

But we're bringing it all back
