Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias at American Airlines Arena in Miami, August 31

She vacillated between singing and lip-syncing, which was totally forgivable. Because, like a good Fly Girl, Jennifer danced the shit out of that stage. It was like a full Vegas show with pyrotechnics and two live onstage dress changes. This is, like, something that you can't conceive of unless you see it. And even after seeing it, you still don't get the extent of its fabulousness.

Fabulous.

And her dancers! It's no surprise that Ms. Lopez gets down with these dudes. They are godly works of art. They put on a full show with her too. At one point, a boxing ring appeared at the end of the catwalk, and they fake boxed while Jennifer walked around in a bikini, looking amazing. All of the things were glittering, from their crazy costumes to J.Lo's water bottle. They did B-52's-like dancing, and when their shirts came off ... Oof! Wonderful.

"Y'all ready to dance?" she said, transitioning into a gentle booty shake with a Lil Wayne-less "I'm Into You." Looking around, not too many people were dancing, except for a small group of gays to our right.

Then Flo Rida showed up like he does at almost every Miami concert. He's like salt, making everything taste a little better. But more importantly, Mary J. Blige was in the house! A spotlight revealed her sitting in the crowd and we all screamed.

Tasty!

Musically, there was a live band that added a little cheese to J.Lo's music. A slow version of "If You Had My Love" was wonderfully sweet. A terribly boring slideshow with her kids brought us all down. Thankfully, Flo Rida and some Latin songs livened things up. There was also a lame video full of terrible cliches: Love is a journey not a destination, you have to love yourself to truly love another. We get it, you're divorced.

But the best Jennifer Lopez lines of the night included: "It's not a party in Miami till somebody starts shaking their ass!" and "Where are my papis at?!"

All night we were looking for J.Lo's boyfriend, Casper Smart. And finally, he showed up and danced with her during, "Dance Again."

Ultimately, J.Lo and Enrique showed off their insecurities and strengths last night. And they were entirely and satisfyingly entertaining.

Critic's Notebook

The Crowd: Mamis in heels, children obsessed with huge balloons, those weird dudes onstage, and a smattering of gays.

Deep Thought: Similar to his music, Enrique Igleasias is physically very attractive in a superficial way, then sort of horrifying on an intellectual level, and then actually completely addictive. When writing an article about him last year, I was like, Ugh, I have to listen to this? But days later, "Baby I Like It" still played in my head. And baby, I liked it (Fuck your "good taste."). He and his songs appeal to the animal part of our brains.

Personal Note, No. 1: Shannon from Down Under, call me. (This was J.Lo's hottie dancer that she introduced onstage)

Personal Note, No. 2: I bought these underwear and this T-shirt. Jealous?
