Major Controversies |
• While performing in Turkmenistan, her choreographer tweeted "I wonder where all my Turkmenistan followers are!? Hit me up!". They were unaware that internet access is widely controlled by the government. In Turkmenistan, social media and human rights websites are not accessible to the comon man.
• She was misunderstood for commenting on performance of American Idol's contestant Lindita Halimi saying, "She sings like a heavy girl," Lopez tells Connick Jr. during the performance, the comment clearly meant to be taken as a compliment.
"That's true. She didn't lose that part," Connick Jr. replies. |
