J.Lo's demands, The news are being reported J.lo's demands were too much for the IPL. When it came to J.Lo's demands for an upcoming cricket concert, it appears the former "American Idol" judge "priced herself out of the event." That's because Jennifer Lopez was asking for so much in return for her performance that the Indian Premier League decided to replace her with another music star.
According to Radar Online on on March 29, Lopez was asking for a private plane to get around in, as well as a large number of hotel rooms for all of her entourage members. An inside source said of the bad move for the singer:
"She effectively priced herself out of the event. It was an idiotic move because the audience for this event is huge.
It’s like the Super Bowl halftime show: Last year, it drew 56 million viewers."
While that may be the story, the story from Lopez's camp is that she had received an offer to perform, but "the date conflicted with Jennifer’s current music-recording schedule for an album due this summer.”
Lopez is known for making lavish demands as a actress and musical diva. Some of the examples given by Radar include asking for a 45-foot trailer to perform in an AIDS benefit video. She asked for that trailer to include white couches, drapes, lilies, tablecloths and Diptyque candles.
So instead of J.Lo for the India Premier League opening ceremony, they have gone with another singer: Pitbull. It's unknown right now what sorts of demands he made before he would perform, but it sounds like he made a smart move in terms of audience exposure. Last year's event drew 56 million viewers so it certainly won't hurt Pitbull's sales and recognition.
Jennifer Lopez was part of TV's "American Idol" last season as one of it's judges along with Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. The show currently features Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban, and is seen on local FOX affiliate station WFXR 8 in Roanoke.
