Gloria Estefan Responds to Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Halftime’ Comments
Estefan, who once performed at halftime shows in the 1990s, said “You have very little time” on stage.
“You have about 12 minutes or something to get things up and down on set. So could you do it with one person?” Estefan said. “Yeah, but I think they wanted to have a Miami and Latin extravaganza. They tried to pack in as much as they could, and they killed it.”
She said she turned down the opportunity to go on the show with the couple and would only have come out and performed the opening lyrics to her hit, ‘Conga’, if she had accepted. .
“Imagine what J. Lo would have said if I had been third?” Estefan said, also joking that she didn’t want to diet in December in order to be ready for the Super Bowl in February. .
Estefan appeared on Cohen’s show with her “Father of the Bride” co-star Andy Garcia.
