This transcript features an interview and discussion focusing on allegations made by choreographer Dexter Carr regarding his experiences working with Jennifer Lopez (JLo) during the 2019 Grammys, particularly in relation to the Motown tribute performance.
Key Points from Dexter Carr’s Allegations:
Initial Observations
- : Carr noticed a lack of black dancers during the rehearsals, with only three black dancers present, including himself. This was surprising given that Motown is a historically black-owned record label known for iconic black artists.
- : Carr observed that black dancers were deliberately placed away from the center of the stage, where Jennifer Lopez was positioned. He recalled a specific moment where Lopez insisted on moving black dancers away from her.
Hair Incident
- : During rehearsals, Lopez questioned Carr about his hair, leading him to feel pressured to conform to a more “Motown-appropriate” hairstyle, despite the performance featuring a salsa breakdown, which is not traditionally associated with Motown.
General Sentiment
- : Carr expressed disappointment with the entire experience, noting the sidelining of talented black dancers and the overall disconnect between the tribute’s intent and its execution. He criticized Lopez for her approach to the performance, especially in the context of a tribute meant to honor black culture.
Discussion Following the Allegations:
The host and participants expressed understanding of Carr’s frustrations, particularly regarding the lack of black representation and the treatment of black performers in the tribute.
They discussed Lopez’s controversial history in the music industry, including accusations that she benefited from the work and talents of black artists.
There was a general sentiment that Jennifer Lopez should address these allegations but that her response might not necessarily improve the situation.
Overall, this conversation highlights ongoing concerns about representation, cultural appropriation, and the challenges faced by black performers in the entertainment industry.
