This week the Grammys raised eyebrows by choosing Jennifer Lopez to perform a Motown Tribute at the 61st annual awards show, infuriating Motown fans who felt a Black performer should have been chosen, especially considering this is Black History month in America [click here if you missed that].
Jennifer Lopez defends her performance...
"Any type of music can inspire any type of artist... You can't tell people what to love. You can't tell people what they can and can't do — what they should sing or not sing."
