Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea, or rather their derrieres, closed the 2014 American Music Awards with a bootylicious bang. Fans and media observers raved on their performance, the raunchy nature of which reportedly got ABC bigwigs shaking in their boots.
No, not from the sheer excitement from the skimpy spectacle presented by two of the music industry's most attractive women. TMZ said the bosses were allegedly worried about getting censorship over rear end "crack" exposure, rubbing, or spanking, all of which happened in the "Booty" video. Well, spanking isn't actually banned, but that line can be easily crossed at some point.
"There will be a 3-4 second delay, but these shows have a rich history of raunchy performances slipping through ... the cracks," the entertainment news site said.
Could this concern influenced the decision to put J.Lo and Iggy's performance at the very end of the show?
So, did Iggy and La Lopez do what they've been warned against?
To the executives' big relief, they pretty much stuck to the agreed game plan. But that did not make the performance any less hotter, much thanks to J.Lo herself.
"You couldn't take your eyes off of her!" E! News gushed.
"Teasing the audience with some seductive moves in the beginning, J.Lo flaunted her enviable curves in a black and white bodysuit while opening with a slow version of the usually upbeat song," the site said. "Then Iggy popped up and things got extra spicy! Lopez changed into a red sequin bodysuit (how did she do that?!) and the two began their bootylicious party."
Iggy had talked about the said ground rules for the AMAs "Booty" performance via Twitter, Hollywood Life noted. She dismissed the TMZ report, clarifying that she and J.Lo weren't pressured to change how they were going to do their number.
"Im not sure if the "executives" are "worried" about me and jlos performance. lol. i haven't even been to a rehearsal for it yet so.... 0.0," said Iggy's first post about the issue.
"We haven't been asked to make any changes and there are no plans to expose anyones nipples or vaginas... but.. okay TMZ if you say sooooo," the Aussie rapper's tweet read on November 20. "With that being said, we aren't performing in turtleneck sweaters either.... Hahahahaha ;-)"
She sure is a cheeky one!
