Jennifer Lopez, known for her captivating stage presence, recently faced criticism for communicating in English during her concert in Malaga, Spain.
Despite being fluent in Spanish, the singer and actor chose to address her audience in English, sparking frustration among attendees.
The concert, which kicked off with her hit song On the Floor, saw Lopez speaking to the crowd in English, prompting some fans to shout out for her to speak in Spanish. “Here you come to speak Spanish!” one fan near the stage exclaimed.
However, the Dance Again crooner did not adjust her language choice, leaving some audience members feeling disconnected.
The backlash didn’t stop at the concert venue. Social media platforms were flooded with criticism, with many users expressing disappointment that Lopez didn’t speak in Spanish.
“He addresses the audience in English when he knows how to do it perfectly well in Spanish,” one user commented, echoing the sentiments of many fans.
This incident isn’t the first time Lopez has sparked controversy with her language choice. As a Latina artist, her decision to speak in English to a Spanish audience has raised questions about her connection to her roots and her audience.
