Wait before we take another breath.
We've lived another moment of our lives.
And now it's fast becoming then.
Wait before you take your lips from mine.
How quickly where we are is where we've been.
And give is given.
Once before I knew that I'd be yours
A moment didn't seem a thing at all.
Just like a penny at a fair.
Once I never dreamed there'd come a time
When time would need another day
Another week, another year with you.
Forever doesn't mean forever anymore.
Wait before we take another breath,
Before you take your lips away from mine,
And where we are is where we've been.
Oh wait...
When you're in love the way we are,
When every kiss and every touch,
And every nite is like a dream come true
It's then you realize how small forever is.
As I now I do.
That's why I treasure all the moments of my life
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how, I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how, I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how, I've been alone
We walk in shadows, we talk in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold
But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby hold me so tight
I hate to break your loving heart in two
But wait, I can't stay away from you.
I promise you I'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right
Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until I am free
Yeah Yeah Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now for me
Wait, come on come on girl
(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
You got your problems darling
I got mine too
You know that
Maybe it's time for you to come through
Because I'm fed up with waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do?
I've almost given up hope
Then what else is new?
You know that
I'm at the end of my rope trying to hang on to you
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do
You better wait (wait!)
Don't go away now darling, wait (wait!)
Why don't you stay?
You better wait (wait!)
Don't go away now, wait (wait!)
Why don't you stay?
(chorus)
I know that you're confused
It's no crime
You better hurry sugar
Cuz we're running out of time
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
What are you gonna do?
(repeat chorus)
I don't wanna walk on the same stage with you
Then the bells begin to blow in my head
If things don't turn out right
It's gonna be all right
(repeat chorus 4x)

How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found.
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around.
There's been a breakdown, breakdown.
Don't change your mind on me.
Just take a little time.
You say the finer things are just worth waiting for.
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, I canmt wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer.
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared.
I been waiting for so long.
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide.
I look up and now your gone.
I been put down, weighed down.
There's no tomorrow for me.
We can't let love just fade away, baby.
I can't wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside.
And I tell my self, baby, baby if this love of ours will survive,
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know.
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer.
You pushed my heart around, tore me up inside, made me feel so bad.
You took away my pride.
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
Wait (disgrace)
I know I shouldn't, but we'll wait (such a pretty face)
I know the time is getting late ( such a waste)
And here is what you hesitate (such a pretty face)
But still I really wish that you'd wait ( such a waste)
Although the passion might abate (such a pretty face)
And find you in another state (it's such a state)
That will seem just as a mistake (it's such a waste)
Oh baby, I really think that I oughta wait (such a pretty face)
Wait (it was such a waste)
I really wouldn't want your hate (it's such a pretty face)
Certainly not after like late ( such a waste)
You wanna give not only take (it's such a pretty face)
I know propriety is such a waste (it's such a disgrace)
But then it says you really have to wait (such a pretty face)
Considering the present state ( such a waste)
Don't change my mind at such a late stage ( such a waste)
Oh baby, don't you think you oughta wait (such a pretty face)
Ooohhh
Ooohhh
Ooohhh
Ooohhh
Wait
Oh, now baby, how I wish you would wait
I really wish you'd hesitate
Oh, baby, baby please why don't you wait
Oh, how I really wish you'd wait
Oh, how I wish you'd hesitate
I've been waiting so long,
Just watching the phone, for you.
To wait, it takes,
Love that's for real
And all, that I feel, inside to do.
I come prepared, to look in your eyes
And walk side by side,
With you--baby, baby.
Listen for tender words, I'd like to say
Like I love you today, and I'll wait
For you.
Chorus
It's crazy, if you think, we're just friends.
Loving when, infatuation ends.
The wait for you, baby it now begins.
You sigh, when I come close to your heart.
You cry, from the start,
Please wait for me.
Your mind, shows, places you go,
And things you don't know.
Someday you'll grow.
Climbing a moutain high,
Your love I desire.
Inside my heart cries for you.
Chorus
Baby, we're more, than friends--
I know, the wait will end
You wonder when the Lord will renew the strength within you
You wonder how, how can He use you as you are
Seems like you're wasting precious time
But then a voice comes to remind you to
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
You will understand in time
Why you must wait
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
Yes, He hears you
But for now you must wait on the Lord
Answers come slowly to your cries of desperation
But time is His tool, teaching the greatest lessons learned
So let Him do His work in you
And watch the miracles come true as you
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
You will understand in time
Why you must wait
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
Yes, He hears you
And He wants you to know that
They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They will rise up with wings as eagles
They will run, not get weary
They will walk and not faint
That's a promise to us when we wait
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
You will understand in time
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
You will understand in time
Why you must wait
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord
Yes, He hears you
The end of all things is at hand
Just a sign that the Lord is coming back again
Wont let my heart be filled with dread
In hope for You I will look and I will lift my head
For my redemption draweth nigh
Soon to break out all upon the eastern sky
My heart and soul cry out
Even so come quickly Jesus, return for me
Look in my mind
Search inside me
I pray You'll find
I'm ready
Here I am, Here I'll wait
For your hand to take me away
We wait for the bridegroom's return
With our lamps in our hands ready to burn
We wait like the watchmen on the wall
For You to come and rescue and save us all
And You'll forever be our King
With no more pain, no more sorrow death or crying
Wait
Looking out my front door
I see a frantic world desperate for more
Quick fix at your fingertips
The longer it takes the harder it gets
But I'll wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait for You
You make my life complete
Yeah, You know You do
We want it all and we want it now
Caught in a high speed chase, can't slow down
Headed for a panic attack
I gotta get off this one way track
So I'll wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait for You
You make my life complete
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Cause you're the perfect one for me
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Oh yeah
I know You see the deepest part of me
But still Your love for me is a mystery
Wait for You to give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Ooh You make my life complete
I'm gonna wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
I'll be waiting waiting waiting waiting
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
God You make my life complete, yeah
I'm gonna wait for You
Drivin’ at night, you feel as if you’re blind
The sun is gone and it’s stuck in your mind
You look to the morning with expectation
Anticipation
When you feel the dark coming and you know that it’s here
You feel your spirit sing, you know there’s nothing to fear
I’m here by your side, I’ve got to no where to go
So take your time, drive slow, listen to the radio
Talk if you want, if don’t just change the station
I got patience
I tell myself wait
Wait till the sun goes down
Wait and you’ll come around
And you’ll smile for everyone
I’ll make you a place
A place where the shadows fall
Can be anyone or no one at all
Just tell me what you want
I know, sometimes you feel the need to beware
I know that you scared that I care
But I wonder who you’re with when you turn out the lights
Who do you think of at night
When you feel the dark coming and you know that it’s here
I’ve been there before and you’ve got nothing to fear
I’ll make you a place where the shadows fall
And you can be anyone or no one at all
We’ll take solace from the burning sun
Let me be there for you just this once
I tell myself wait
Wait till the sun goes down
Wait and you’ll come around
And you’ll smile for everyone
I’ll make you a place
A place where the shadows fall
Can be anyone or no one at all
Just tell me what you want
Hey how you doin lil mama? lemme whisper in your ear

How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found.
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around.
There's been a breakdown, breakdown.
Don't change your mind on me.
Just take a little time.
You say the finer things are just worth waiting for.
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, I canmt wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer.
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared.
I been waiting for so long.
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide.
I look up and now your gone.
I been put down, weighed down.
There's no tomorrow for me.
We can't let love just fade away, baby.
I can't wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside.
And I tell my self, baby, baby if this love of ours will survive,
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know.
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer.
You pushed my heart around, tore me up inside, made me feel so bad.
You took away my pride.
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
Under a blackened sky
far beyond the glaring streetlights
sleeping on empty dreams
the vultures lie in wait
You lay down beside me then
you were with me every waking hour
so close I could feel your breath
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the new born hope unjaded by their years
Pressed up against the glass
I found myself wanting sympathy
but to be consumed again
oh I know would be the death of me
and there is a love that's inherently given
a kind of blindness offered to appease
and in that light of forbidden joy
oh I know I won't receive it
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
the newborn hope unjaded by their years
You know if I leave you now
it doesn't mean that I love you any less
it's just the state I'm in
I can't be good to anyone else like this
When all we wanted was the dream
to have and to hold that precious little thing
like every generation yields
That man don't love you like he need to
If he ain't following Christ, he can't lead you
I ain't tryin' to deceive you
I know he look better than most men
But without Christ, looks are no reason for bragging and boasting
You got your heart on him
Now you can't depart from him
You knew from the beginning not to even start on him
Compromising your faith for sex
Hurting yourself and God
Cause you outside of marital context
What's next?
Mami show respect for your body
Instead of getting naked and naughty
Like sex is a hobby
You know what you're supposed to do
Let him loose and cling to the God that wants to get close to you
You've been blessed as a chosen few
Mami, if ain't rollin' wit Christ
Then don't let him roll wit you
Cause you've been blessed as a chosen few
And if ain't rollin' wit God
Then don't let him roll wit you
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you're the apple of momma's eye
A star in your daddy's sky
But God knows you living a lie
You giving a guy, everything your husband deserves
It's absurd
Don't follow your feelings, just follow The Word
You wanna be in a relationship
Well, you can give him your all, but how deep can the relations get
If your God's on the sideline
You won't be happy I promise
Until you understand, that God is the lifeline
He ain't pleased with lust
So even if it feels right
Remember, he ain't pleased with us, when we
Let our emotions loose without a ring on the finger
It's only gonna come back to sting ya
Don't let the singers sing you sweet lullabies
Without giving The King's sweet love a try
It ain't none better
Who else you know,that would give up his life
Just to love you forever
WAIT!
CHORUS:
I know you thought that ya'll could win together
Ya'll been together
But all ya'll do is sin together
You're wasting your own time
You keep deceiving your mind
Saying that this is part of God's design
Knowing he treating you good
Know his ways is nice
But he can't love you like he should
He's not engaged to Christ
And you know this ain't the man for you
But you hold on like God ain't got better plans for you
The whole worlds says 'you should be dating'
God says you should be serving him while your patiently waitin'
Everybody rushin and racin
Huggin' and kissin' and hold hands, all before their days end
Yea, I know it's hard but TRUST
I wouldn't waste my breath on this song if it wasn't a MUST
The same God that made you
The same God that died for your sins and saved you
HE ain't tryin' to play you, WAIT!
CHORUS:
Your ready to go'..wait!
Can't take no more'.wait!
I know it's hard but, God is never late
Don't follow your feelings'wait!
Just follow HIS Will and'..wait!
Girl, serve the Lord and don't anticipate.
Every town has a diner
where I'll meet you, and your friends too.
Things are just a bit nicer over some coffee;
you can tell me all about your day.
I don't know much about you,
not that i want to,
not that i want to.
Sometimes I can't escape from my room so excuse me,
I'll be just a little late.
You will wait for me,
you will wait for me
Every town has a corner,
where I'll see you and your friends too;
hanging out looking cool,
saying the same things over and over (again).
Sometimes we all feel stupid,
we say the wrong things;
you're not the only one.
Sometimes we all get left behind
in a race of style,
it's a dumb thing.
you will wait for me
you will wait for me
you will wait for me
(Oh no!)
Turning into cannibals and everything that she wants is made out of minerals
I don't know what I done she only speaks in subliminals
The reception here is lousy and the service is minimal
(Oh no!)
I live with an Eskimo I
(Swallowed!) cause we become mechanical and
(Hollow!) I seem to make you miserable so take your tiny chemicals cause I need a miracle
(Free your soul to me)
Meet me on the corner cause the wall's on fire
(Words can set us free)
Can you make it go away make it stop! Stop!
Wait! There's something that I want to say
Something that we hid away
Something that I'd like to change
These words have never left a mouth
We never got to get it out
Communication not allowed
Somethings we don't talk about
(On no!)
I've fallen off a pedestal and your selected memory is really quite incredible to
(Morrow!)
When you get forgettable I'll try being wonderful yet totally inedible
(Free your soul to me)
Meet you there in China cross the wall of fire
(Words can set us free)
Can you make it go away make it stop! Stop!
Wait! There's something that I want to say
Something that we hid away
Something that I'd like to change
These words have never left a mouth
We never got to get it out
Communication not allowed
Somethings we don't talk about
(Free your soul) Free your soul to me
(Words can set us free)
Can you make it go away make it stop! Stop!
Wait! There's something that I want to say
Something that we hid away
Something that I'd like to change
These words have never left a mouth
We never got to get it out
Communication not allowed
Somethings we don't talk about
Wait! There's something that I want to say
Something that we hid away
Something that I'd like to change
These words have never left a mouth
We never got to get it out
Communication not allowed
Wait, don't go too early
you're tired but everyone's tired
but no one is tired enough
only wait a little and listen
music of hair, music of pain
music of looms weaving all our loves again
be there to hear it, it's your only chance
hair will become interesting
pain will become interesting
second hand gloves will become lovely again
wait, wait for now
distrust everything if you have to
but trust the hours
I can't sleep, I'm feeling wide awake
Tonight is taking it's time
How much more before the morning breaks
And I can leave it all behind
'Cause every time I try to close my eyes
I only end up seeing memories of you
And it's never enough, I'm waiting
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
I am keeping every word you say
But how much longer can I hold on
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Remind me that you're already gone
'Cause every time I try to chase your voice
I end up getting lost and running in circles
And it's never enough, I'm waiting
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Wait, wait, wait, don't go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Oooh yeah, don't go
Even though you're gone I can hear your heart
It's calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won't give it back
I'll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don't go
Wait till the snow falls down on the doorstep
Wait till the branches make cracks on the sky
Wind at your window, screams while you sleepy
You live near your fire as the winter blows by
Wait till the sidewalk shivers the beggars
Robbed in their blankets they try to hang on
Light from the street lane seems to shine better
After the autumn has been here and gone
God help the lost and lonely, God help the poor
Cold days and ice nights only
Hard times for sure, hard times for sure
Wait till the winter makes it all brittle
Colors all fade and the earth seems to die
Black chimneys coughing, landlords are hiding
No one can find them, it's useless to try
Wait till the river freezes up solid
Way up the line and the boats are all stuck
Gray and the gambler tries to make sense, he's
Far from his home and he's down on his luck
God help the lost and lonely, God help the poor
Cold days and ice nights only
Hard times for sure, hard times for sure
Dancers and snow queens, handsome and lovely
Skate on the lake and fall deeply in love
Silver skates gliding, faces all glowing
Smooth and warm fingers and thumbs and their gloves
God help the lost and lonely, God help the poor
Cold days and ice nights only
Girl, before you turn and walk away
Leave me standing here
Just know I'll always love you
I never wanna make the same mistakes
That I made..
I only have myself to blame
Girl, I'm sorry..
Baby, I will wait for you, forever
However long it takes
For fate, to bring you back to me
I wish I realised
Seen it through your eyes
All the things I put you through
Forever, I will wait..
It's hard to watch you
Move on with your life
Holding back the tears
Wishing I could
Change your mind
Baby, take a minute
Can you look into my eyes
I never meant to make you cry
And girl, I'm sorry..
All the memories of you and me
Tell me where did they go
Now I see, how it can be
So much better than before
I love you still, I'll always will
Pray that things will turn out right
If we can find a way to be together
You and I will see forever, always..
Wait
Maybe this place is everything
Maybe we don’t need anything
Concrete
You say
To hold on to little securities
I hope that the world won’t carry me
Away, away
All of the pounds of gold
The moments we lost or sold
All of this
Will go to waste
Wait
What if the world’s gone back to it
The darkness before the enlightenment
What then?
Faith
Is hardly a wall of security
It won’t stop the blows of our enemies
They’ll win, they’ll win
All of the pounds of gold
The moments we lost or sold
All of this
Will go to waste
It’s just not a mystery
The lack of our expertise
Won’t be good for anything
Just staring off into space again
What am i looking for
Maybe a cigarette might
Calm me down or keep me warm
Maybe a drink might be able
To tell me that i might be able
To do this alone
Theyre probably both wrong
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
My head is a mess
Dressed in guilt
Tilted left
And when i straighten this out
Ill find the rest
And wear it on my chest
So the world can see
Everything that has been happening to me
Theres nothing to hide anymore
Theyre breaking through my front door
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
I waited too long to find the things
Taking the life away from this
You couldnt care that life was this
Without all the shit you covered it with
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
Why should i wait
Wait for
Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name,
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same,
letting my thoughts fly to where
you might be,
Sharing the secret that took you from me..
Heart is beating faster with
the memory of your touch
Try to ease this loneliness
I'm missing you so much
I'm with you when sleep comes
I find you in dreams
But wake to confusion
It's not as it seems
Im waiting for you,
those words I still hear you say,
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
These chains round my heart
and theyll just wont let me feel,
Until you return I will never be free,
I hear you call - wait for me.
Do you still remember by the ocean,
Oh so blue,
As I looked into your eyes,
you said that youll be true,
The promises made
as we walked on the beach,
Like the moon and the stars
now so far out of reach.
I'm waiting for you
those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
since you went away,
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
Lying in my bed alone
and whispering your name
Wonder where you are tonight
and do you feel the same
Letting my thoughts fly
to where you might be
Sharing the secret
that took you from me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
but it seems like a lifetime
since you went away
There's chains round my heart
and they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hear you call - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Because it's all I can do
But it seems all my life
I've been waiting for you
This ache in my heart
You know it won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
Still I can hear - Wait for me
I'm waiting for you
Those words I still hear you say
But it seems like a lifetime
Since you went away
There's chains round my heart
And they just won't let me be
Until you return
I will never be free
I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid
That you'll be bored
It's very real and true and sad
And hopeful just like me
It's one of those things I'll never tell
I'll carve it in a tree
I follow you, I watch you
I thank god you're in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
And we're holding each others' hand
I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...
I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You act as if I'm not around
But deep down you must need me
I draw you, every single
Feature in my head
I try to do my homework
But I dream of you instead
I need a plan for you to fall
In love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait...
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry me
I'll make you marry, marry me...
Wait! I wanna talk to you.
Wait! I can't live without you.
Give me a little chance again,
I'll show you I'm worth to be a woman.
Your heart must stand still in empty place.
I can't believe that you forgot my face.
Oh baby, oh baby,
Please say you still love me.
Wait! I wanna talk to you.
Wait! I can't live without you.
It's so hard when nobody cares
And nobody shares your sorrow afraid.
Oh baby, oh baby,
Please say you still love me.
Your heart must stand still in empty place.
I can't believe that you forgot my face.
Oh baby, oh baby,
Count down with me,
Count down it down with me
There’s nothing you can do,
Wait with me,
There’s nothing you can do,
Wait with me
Take this dance with me
Count down with me,
Count it down with me
There’s nothing you can do,
Wait with me,
There’s nothing you can do,
Wait with me
Wait
Maybe this place is everything
Maybe we don't need anything
Concrete
You say
To hold on to little securities
I hope that the world won't carry me
Away, away
All of the pounds of gold
The moments we lost or sold
All of this
Will go to waste
Wait
What if the world's gone back to it
The darkness before the enlightenment
What then?
Faith
Is hardly a wall of security
It won't stop the blows of our enemies
They'll win, they'll win
All of the pounds of gold
The moments we lost or sold
All of this
Will go to waste
It's just not a mystery
The lack of our expertise
Won't be good for anything
Anything
I imagine long walks down the road.
Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes.
The damage is undone, and then I know.
This has got to be a dream.
Machines and luxuries don't last.
I took my sleep for granted in the past.
And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass.
Why does that sound funny?
Wait, you're almost there it's gone.
You're almost there it's gone.
You're almost where what follows you, does not bother you.
I have walked the tightrope parts of me.
I towed the line just far enough to see.
I never found a gift you get for free.
You pay for them dearly.
I see my forever as one long night.
If I can make it dark then I can make it light.
I know that most of living done is done in the mind.
Only thought survives.
Are you tired?
Are you uninspired?
Has the miscommunication tried to eat you up inside.
I am here, and you are here.
And everything I want to know.
Sleeps between your ears.
I imagine long walks down the road.
Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes.
The damage is undone, and then I know.
This has got to be a dream.
Machines and luxuries don't last.
I took my sleep for granted in the past.
And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass.
Now does that sound funny?
Wait, you're almost there it's gone.
You're almost there it's gone.
You're almost where what follows you, does not bother you.
I have walked the tightrope parts of me.
I towed the line just far enough to see.
I never found a gift I got for free.
You pay for them dearly.
I see my forever as one long night.
If I can make it dark then I can make it light.
I know that most of living done is done in the mind. Only thought survives.
Wait, you're almost there it's gone.
You're almost there it's gone.
You're almost where what follows you, does not bother you.
Are you tired?
Are you uninspired?
Has the miscommunication tried to eat you up inside. I am here, and you are here.
And everything I want to know.
You've been hurt
You've been lied to
You ran all your life
Just to get out of your shoes
But you settled in too soon
Now your road is clear-ly
Darkno room
For any light to break through
You're on a mission to get even with the world
To give back all the pain you received
It's just too hard to believe
That anything can make it better
Please don't let it end this way
You could wait another day
It's foolish games that players play
One choice can bring you so much ache
Please don't end up this way
There's got to be some other way
You could live without this mistake
So please wait
You've been betrayed
Left so confused
Couldn't understand
How trust could be so abused
So you let the darkness
Come over you
Now you dont know
Anyone to turn to
You're beat up and bitter
Face down in the cold
Lyin' in the ground with footprints on your back
Where ya gonna go?
You've never been so low
Please don't let it end this way
You could wait another day
It's foolish games that players play
One choice can bring you so much ache
Please don't end up this way
There's got to be some other way
You could live without this mistake
So please wait
Please don't let it end this way
You could wait another day
It's foolish games that players play
One choice can bring you so much ache
Please don't end up this way
There's got to be some other way
You could live without this mistake
I can hear ticking clocks,
Running rampant in Me,
chiming in apogee
Waiting for the cynergy
Of Her and Me waiting on the light
And I Never say goodnight
Never say that i'm always right
Now in you girl
I'm consent to drown
You're High and Im so Down
This Night'll end sooner But much sooner now
Im awake in you and You're Asleep in me
All the things i'll never be
Make me Wonder could you see
And I Said
Wait, till i hit the ground Harder
Wish i could Wait, To i could hear your heartbeat fast
Wish i could wait Till i missed her flavour
My days are numbered here
and i dont want to be the last one Home
don't want to be the last one home
Though Im weak inside
I'm thriving just the same
Still Calling out your name
Wondering who it is that i should blame
Stabbing Hard and Burried
Conciousness and fear
Forgetting others i hold Dear
Wontcha maybe could you hear
And I said To
Wait, till i hit the ground Harder
Wish i could Wait, To hear your heartbeat fast
Wish i could wait Till i missed her flavour
My days are numbered here
and i dont want to be the last one Home
no no no
the last one home
(Oh here we go...)
There you are baby
just waiting on the sun
just Staring at the sky
said When will he be done
and i said there you are baby
waiting on the sun
staring at the sky
said when will he be done
when will he be done
and i wish i could wait, Till i see you shaking
wish i could wait to pull out of this one fast
wish i could wait till i taste your flavour
and maybe i can savour every last drop
and i said
Wait, till i hit the ground Harder
Wish i could Wait, to hear to hear your heartbeat fast
Wish i could wait to see you shaking
My days are numbered here
and i dont want to be the last one Home
the last one home
Wait...I said, underneath my breath as she turned away from me. Never did I see the look in her eye because her back was turned to me. Maybe if I had seen a tear drop in her eyes I would have stopped I swear I would; but I kept pushing her to love me but I didn't know that I was only pushing her away from me. Maye if I hadn't chased her to the door, then maybe she would have come back for more. All that I can say is if only, maybe if I wouldn't say maybe all the time then she'd be back and she'd be mine. Now I'm lost. I've been down this path before, but it hasn't been a while. I sit here and just think, about my life and how I never seem to win. Constantly not smiling because of a stupid girl, who I only want because she doesn't want me. Isn't it funny how life always works out, works out when you'd least expect it to. Did you know I hate your honesty. Did you know I hate the games you play. Maybe if I sit here for a while, then maybe I'd have you in my arms agian, then you'd be bcak and more than just a friend.

so if you go away I know that I will follow
cause there's a place inside my heart that tells me
hold out, hold out, hold out
wait - wait
I never had a chance to love you
wait - wait
if only our love could show you
wait - wait
I never wanna be without you
wait - wait
no I never had a chance to love you
now I only wanna say I love you
one more time
wait - wait
I never had a chance to love you
wait - wait
if only our love could show you
wait - wait
I never wanna be without you
wait - wait
no I never had a chance to love you
now I only wanna say I love you
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait, turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on, I won't delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how I've been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We'll forget the tears we've cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm coming back home
I've been away now
If in your sickness you are desperate to recover
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now
When you're a seeker who is longing to discover
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now 'cause
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
When you keep asking but the answer still eludes you
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now
When the anger burns and threatens to consume you
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute now 'cause
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
So wait, wait, just wait, wait
When you've been running
Love comes sneaking up behind you
Hey, wait a minute now
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They will mount up on wings, they will walk and not faint
Seasons of this life change but God's faithfulness remains
They who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
I will wait for You patiently
Praying from my deepest point of need
Give You everything in return just for You
Satisfy my soul, nothing else will do
Jesus, my heart Your home
Jesus
I will sing for You all my days
Always quick to give You praise
When I was in sin You saved my soul
No greater love will I ever know
Jesus, my heart Your home
Jesus, my heart Your home
Jesus
You shine like the sun
You shine like the sun
You, You shine like the sun
So sweet, and you're so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know the simplehood
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I truth Him over and over
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
Oh for grace to trust Him more
Jesus, my heart Your home
(Jack Hues)
Streetcorners seem designed to lie in wait
For a chance to get involved in lovers' fate
And this one seems as good as any I've seen
So wait here with me until six-fifteen
Chorus:
I'm waiting for you
But you're very late
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Evidently
There's a difficulty
I know you'll come anyway
And I can hardly wait
Wait
I see you approaching you're the eyes of the crowd
The traffic and people, God they're all so loud
But in a couple of moments they will all disappear
Because we're ever so close when we're ever so nearRepeat Chorus
Punctuality
Was never much to me
Being yourself is the main thing
Forget about the time
Forget about the time
Being yourself is the main thing
The main thing
The main thing love
Tell me what you've done yourself
I would like to know
Write it on the rocks and then
Tell me where to go
Why you say wait?
Wait
Tell me you're the lucky one
How fast you can throw
Tell me all the things you've done
I would like to know
Why you say wait?
Why?
Tell me how you like yourself
Tell me how you go
Unlike you were someone else now
I want to know
Why you say wait?
Why you say?
Oh, wait
Why you say?
Why you say, wait?
Why you say?
Why you say wait?
So tell me something bad you've done
Tell me 'bout your ghost
Tell me 'bout the game you won
And the one who lost
Why you say wait?
Wait
Tell me 'bout your magic touch
Every coin you toss
The cat get out, the dog get in
That's how it's always been
Why you say wait?
Why?
Now tell me what's so funny, man
Tell me, what'd I miss?
Write it on the rocks and then
Tell me how it is
Why you say wait?
Why?
Why you say
Oh wait?
Why you say?
Why you say wait?
Why you say?
Why you say wait?
Why you say?
Why you say wait?
Why you say?
It's not worth saving, when you say wait
Why you say?
It's not worth saving, when you say wait
Why you say wait?
It's not worth saving, when you say wait
Why you say?
It's not worth saving, when you say wait
Why you say wait?
Nothing
When you say
The wind hit my back, cold as I remember
And caught me off guard, in the middle of December
Sometimes a crowded room, can feel the most alone
Sometimes I wonder why, I won't pick up the phone when
This wall is glaring and it's too high for me to climb
I've ran and ran and now there's nothing left behind
I see a picture of a broken man inside
I've tried and tried and now there's nothing left but time
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Together we will fly tonight
And leave all the rest behind
I'll wait for you
These hands can feel like they're not even mine
A tree and a nail and a cry in the night
Sometimes a little step is the greatest divide
Sometimes I feel your breath right at my side when
Here I am at the edge of the road
One hand on the end of the rope
One crack and it breaks alone
Wondering who'se gonna take me home
On my knees when you call my bluff
Begging please from the edge of the ruff
[Chorus:]
Said I'm gonna wait, on you
Got no choice but to wait, on you
No matter what the problem is he's gonna see me through
So Lord I'm gonna wait, on you, on you, on you.
[Verse 1:]
Oh to know
The problem you got really ain't a problem
Every problem you got really He can solve them
He's a fixer of everything broken, broken
Just remember
He will put it back together don't you worry
No need to be in a hurry
Have patience, He will see you through
When things are good, when things are bad
When I'm happy when I'm sad, I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait on you Lord
When times are up when times are down
He's never let me down, I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait on you Lord
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Through my storm
I really got a testimony
You see the devil thought he really, really had me
But I'm here to let him know
I'm still standing
And I've learned, how to trust and wait on Jesus
Tho I know he will give me the power
So I keep the faith and know that joy will come
When things are good, when things are bad
When I'm happy when I'm sad, I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait on you Lord
When times are up when times are down
I know he'll never let me down, I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna wait on you Lord
[Chorus]
[Vamp:]
When you cannot see
Trust and believe
God will never leave
He'll be all you need [Repeat]
So I guess I'm gonna wait, on you
Got no choice but to wait, on you
No matter what the problem is he's gonna see me through
So Lord I'm gonna wait, on you, on you, on you.
[Drive:]
Wait on Him
Wait on Him
I never saw it coming, somehow I never knew
The last one to know that you were on to something new
Tried to say I was sorry for the things I did
Apologies fall flat, I watch my words drop dead
You're so far ahead of me
Wait
I'm coming
Wait
Stop running away
I wake from a dream not knowing if it's all too real
I watch the world go rushing by; I'm standing still
Try to catch the wave you're riding, sliding down
Carries you away; on me it's crashing down
I'm reaching out to you
Wait
I'm coming
Wait
Stop running away
Wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait
These baby steps seem shy as you go bounding by
And as I rise to run you're taking off to fly
If I catch your eye won't you
Wait
I'm coming
Wait
Towards these days of affection
it never seem to last
these words of trust
have turned to past
and as it all
began to fall
i longed for answers of my heart
but answers were given not
chorus:
Wait for ...
with truth in my eyes a will to take care for
you`re all i long for
you`re more ... you`re more than i deserve
Forgive my weakness
my failures were never meant to harm
apologies
they can`t retrieve
and now i`m here, and know you fear
that things will turn out the same
"just a game"

She was born in April
1783
The only daughter of a lawyer in a little town that skirted the sea
She showed her mother's beauty
And when she caught his eye
He was taken by her innocence it'd only be a matter of time
But then one day a cold wind blew and she took ill and wouldn't make it long
And all that he could do was sit and wonder how something so right could go so wrong
And before she died he told her that he loved her
He said I know we'll be together sometime soon
He said I don't believe in heaven as he brushed his tears aside
And he added just before he closed her eyes
If you think that this was good
Wait until the next life
It was a Friday
1983
He was a parking lot attendant in a little town in North Tennessee
A car approaching
And when they met eyes
They sort of smiled at one another for a while but they didn't know why
Then something made her shudder like a butterfly set free from her cocoon
A flash of indistinguishable moments shared in rainy afternoons
They were married on the second day of summer
Watched the beauty turn to wrinkles over time
And before he died she told him that she loved him
And it was when she said these words he realized
If you think that this was good
Wait until the next life
So if you feel like you have known someone forever
Don't just walk away and spend the night alone
Because it could be someone far behind your future
Waiting for their heart to come back home
And if you think that this was good
Wait until the next life
Creator of Earth & Heaven
Why am I filled with question?
Defeated in my spirit
One empty man desiring you plan...
(Chorus)
& so I will wait,
& though my heart aches
Nothing can cause me to ever turn away
There's so much pain in this world
That my heart wants to break
But till you choose to deliver me,
I choose to wait
Now the inside of me is empty
The ones that I trusted have left me
But still I'm not forsaken,
Lead by the hand, of the Son of Man...
Wait
Wait, I can hardly wait
To look into Your face
When the world disappears into Your eyes
Wait, I can hardly wait
To hear Your sweet voice say
You've done well, my good and faithful son
Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait
To bow down at Your feet
Kiss the scars that bore my sins away
I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, don't go too early
You're tired but everyone's tired
But no one is tired enough
Only wait a little and listen
Music of hair, music of pain
Music of looms waving all our loves again
Be there to hear it
It's your only chance
Hair will become interesting
Pain will become interesting
Second hand gloves
Will become lovely again
Wait, wait for now
Distrust everything if you have to
But trust the hours
Haven't they carried you every?
Wait, just a moment before our love will die
Cuse I must know the reason why we say goodbye
Wait just a moment and tell me why
Cause I can show you lovin that you won't deny
Wait and show your lovin like it was before
Cause I won't let that feelin walk out through the door
I said wait just a moment and try once more
Cause babe I need to hold you like I did before
So if you go away I know that I will follow
Cause there's a place inside my hear that tells me
hold out, hold out, hold out
Wait-wait
I never had a chance to love you
wait-wait
if only our love could show you
wait-wait
I never want to be without you
wait-wait
no I never had a chance to love you
now I only want to say I love you one more time
Wait-wait
I never had a chance to love you
wait-wait
if only our love could show you
wait-wait
I never want to be without you
wait-wait
no I never had a chance to love you
now I only want to say I love you
one more time
Look at me. I'm playing mind-games with myself and I can't help it. Can't you see frustration's hit me where it counts. I'm so pathetic. You're all I ever wanted and now that I've got it I don't know what to do. I'm going crazy over you. Never thought I'd act like this, never guessed my heart would get this big and mess up everything. Maybe I just care too much, I'll try hard not to overanalyze. Sometimes it hits me by surprise. Crazy over you.

Looking out my front door
I see a frantic world desperate for more
Quick fix at your fingertips
The longer it takes the harder it gets
But I'll wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait for You
You make my life complete
Yeah, You know You do
We want it all and we want it now
Caught in a high speed chase, can't slow down
Headed for a panic attack
I gotta get off this one way track
So I'll wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait for You
You make my life complete
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Cause you're the perfect one for me
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Oh yeah
I know You see the deepest part of me
But still Your love for me is a mystery
Wait for You to give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
Ooh You make my life complete
I'm gonna wait for You
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
I'll be waiting waiting waiting waiting
To give me everything I need
I'm gonna wait wait wait for You
God You make my life complete, yeah
I'm gonna wait for You
Oh yeah
You wait, but the sun has told you lies,
It sits laughing in an empty sky.
There's one thing that I can't do without,
But I can see through those sullen eyes that have turned away from me.
It's wise to say that I don't care
It's wise to say but I don't mean a word.
I'm only asking why must I pretend to not see
Through those sullen eyes that have turned away from me.
Wait - until my love is free to feel - all over.
And see - that it can be you and me, so closer.
Don't go - try to have a little faith, my baby.
One day - you will see it was worth to wait,
Some thing's wrong, trying to conquer
These fears I thought were gone
And it's been so long
I'm dying to live in a world I don't belong
I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
On my own, I'll show myself
What it means to be alone
And the tears I cry are washed away
All the scars are my disguise
I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I'm forever alone
I, I'm not waiting here this time
I can't wait for someone to hear me
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
I can't wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone
I I want to be I I I want to be
I am waiting so long
to be myself be myself be myself
waiting so long waiting so long
its my face but its not me
in the mirror that I see
its my voice what did I say?

When you say
Hmm
Nothing
Turn the radio on, on
I want to hear a song, a song
Oh, nothing's gonna change
But something's got to break
Leaving you all my mistakes
I've found out why
I sometimes won't try
It's hard on the outside
But I'm leaving this, soon
Now are feelings have all gone
But you don't want to be on your own
But nothing stays the same
So you'll have to go and change
It for yourself
And nail This hate
Cause I've found out why
I sometimes wont try
It's hard on the outside
And I'm leaving
But until then
I'll sleep in my house
And when I wake up
I'll wonder how
It get's all too much
Of nothing
We are out of touch
You can run now
Turn the radio on, on
I wanna hear a song, a song
Nothing's gonna change
But something's bound to break
So we'll have to go outside
We'll have to burn our eyes
Cause I've found out why
I sometimes won't try
It's hard on the outside
But I'm leaving
Cause I've found out why
I sometimes won't try
One day I'll leave this all behind
But I, I hear music
I, I hear music
Oh I can hear music
I can hear music
And I will wait
And I will wait
For you to call or come home

Wait
Wait, I can hardly wait
To look into Your face
When the world disappears into Your eyes
Wait, I can hardly wait
To hear Your sweet voice say
You've done well, my good and faithful son
Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait
To bow down at Your feet
Kiss the scars that bore my sins away
I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait
Verse 1:
Why do you choose to act this way?; Why do you choose to play this game?
One day you'll wake up and find that we're all gone.
Life could be so much more for you; Love and laughter it's all true
If smiles are worth a million words just show me one.
Chorus:
And I will love, and I will wait for you.
We're getting nowhere, stop messing around and just be you.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Verse 2:
You're not easy in my life but neither am I; We've clashed for way too long.
The truth is hitting home.
But I will love you when it's hard.
Feel I'm on the verge of some great truth
Where I'm finally in my place
But I'm fumbling still for proof
And it's cluttering my space
Casting shadows on my face
I know I have a strength to move ahead
I can hardly leave my room
So I'll sit perfecty still
And I'll listen for a tune
When the mind is on the moon
And if I stumble
And if I stall
And if I slit now
And if I should fall
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me
Cause everywhere I seem to be
I am only passing through
I dream these days about the sea
Always wake up feeling blue
Wishing I could dream of you
So if I stumble
And if I fall
And if I slit now
And loose it all
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me
And wait for me
And wait for me
And wait for me
Won't you wait for me
And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me
And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me
And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me
And wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Won't you wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
I’m this way because I’m cold,
cold enough to know knowing does no good.
I’m this way because I’m wrong,
wrong to let it end, end the way it should.
If you’re laying down your arms, lie down and be done
because lying is what we’ll do.
Just to wait for you takes all my strength and I won’t.
Because, nobody breaks the way I do
and I don’t think I want me to
I’m this way when I wake up,
up before the dawn. It’s dawning on me now.
I’m this way because you’re not.
Not because I care. Caring is not allowed
If you’re saying you can’t take the weight of this
then, maybe, wait until I’m gone
It’s your fault I can’t stay… stay asleep inside…
Whose side did you take…taking all my time…
it’s time to be awake making up my mind
Just to wait for you takes all my strength and I won’t
Because, nobody breaks the way I do
I'm this way and you won't budge
MRS. LOVETT:
Easy now,
Hush, love, hush,
Don't distress yourself,
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush,
Wait.
Hush, love, hush,
Think it through.
Once it bubbles, then
What's to do?
Watch it close.
Let it brew.
Wait.
I've been thinkin' flowers,
Maybe daisies,
To brighten up the room!
Don't you think some flowers,
Pretty daisies,
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait,
Love, wait.
TODD: (spoken) And the judge? When will I get to him?
LOVETT:
Can't you think of nothin' else?
Always broodin' away on your wrongs
what happened heaven knows how many years ago!
Slow, love, slow.
Time's so fast.
Now goes quickly, see
Now it's past!
Soon will come,
Soon will last.
Wait.
Don't you know,
Silly man?
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan!
All good things
Come to those who can
Wait.
Gillyflowers, maybe,
'Stead of daisies...
I dunno though...
Act as if no one sees your Deception
You know it will ruin you
Turn a blind eye there all misconceptions
You take everyone for fools
You try so hard but your fear of rejection
means your gonna be the one to lose
If you convince yourself, just convice yourself
To wait for just a miniute longer
Hold off and it will only make you stronger
And wait for just a moment longer
We all are walking toward the fire
Act as if no one sees your true colors
You think where all under you
Like a slap in the face
Your dishonesty gathers around us and fools
You try so hard but your fear of rejection
means your gonna be the one to lose
If you convince yourself, just convice yourself
To wait for just a miniute longer
Hold off and it will only make you stronger
And wait for just a moment longer
We all are walking toward the fire
wait for just a miniute longer
Hold off and it will only make you stronger
And wait for just a moment longer
We all are walking toward the fire
wait for just a miniute longer
Hold off and it will only make you stronger
And wait for just a moment longer
We talk about a lot of things
We talk about all the things to come
We talk about going to sleep, about waking up
Now I've woken up
I never thought that it would hurt this much
I never thought it would hurt this much
No, but it did
We throw stones to the river bed
We take turns saying all the things we said
We got drunk on the beach
You're out of reach, oh...
I never thought that it would hurt this much
I never thought it would hurt this much
No, but it did
(Chorus)
Oh, wait don't leave me
I don't want to watch you go
No I don't want to watch you go
And what you never love you never know
We were in the basement
Staring up at the stars above us
You're out of place in there
You know I know, so why am I to blame?
I never thought that it would hurt this much
I never thought it would hurt this much
So I took her on the train
And I took her on a bus stop
And I took her on an aeroplane
We were thieves, friends then lovers and so much more
And I never thought that it would hurt this much
But it did
(Chorus)
D'you know I don't want to watch you go?
Oh no, I don't want to watch you...
Now that's done
I never thought that it would hurt this much
Never thought that it would hurt this much x3
I never thought it would hurt this much, no noooo
But it did, oooooh but it did, oh oooh oooooh...

You tell me that you are ready
You tell me baby, it's time
You say if I really loved you
Then I would make you mine
Don't have to hurry
Don't have to rush
All we have to do is let it come to us
All I wanna doe is take it slow
Just relax baby, chill and we'll flow
If we can just wait
Wait a little bit longer, baby
If we can take
Take a little more time to get to know each other better
Wait
Wait a little bit longer, baby
I know it's hard to wait
I say that everything's solid
I say that everything's cool
But I don't know if I'm ready
To take that road with you
Don't have to hurry
Don't have to rush
All we have to do is let it come to us
And I'm tryin' my best to make you see
How much better we are gonna be
If we can just wait
Wait a little bit longer, baby
If we can take
Take a little more time to get to know each other better
Wait
Wait a little bit longer, baby
I know it's hard to wait
If you really love me
And you understand the way I feel
That'll tell me more than any words you say
Wait! Where do you want to go?
Wait! Stop a second to think.
Wait! Don't you feel a sense of shame?
Wait! Look at that girl. She cries for you
Every day, she waits for you
You can race and go anywhere... she dreams of you
The time runs out quickly she cries for you
But you don't understand
Open your eyes and see what she feels for you
Wait! Where do you want to go?
Wait! Stop a second to think.
Wait! Don't you feel a sense of shame?
Wait! Look at that girl. She cries for you
Every night, she waits for you
You can dream anything she dreams of you
You can sleep with whoever she cries for you
But you don't understand
Open your eyes, wake up and she will reach your heart.
Wait! Where do you want to go?
Wait! Stop a second to think.
Wait! Don't you feel a sense of shame?
When my fingers lost their touch
And my eyes lost their glow
Was when you discovered I was every man in a suit you'd always known
I know it's not cool to want me and I know it's not cool to say
I know it's not cool to love me so I'll wait
The lies I always told you
Were the same truth I'd proclaim
One hour, I'll be there
Wait
The bridge is clear
Wait
The tires press and ache
Wait
Wait
I have heard swans
Wait
Call and respond
Wait
Through you comes an age
Wait
When my fingers lost their touch
And my eyes lost their glow
Was when you discovered I was every man in a suit you'd always known
I know it's not cool to want me and I know it's not cool to say
I know it's not cool to love me so I'll wait
The lies I always told you
Were the same truth I'd proclaim
Ooooooh Oooooooh
I’m in love with a man and I can’t hold his hand
And I can’t let him know that I love him so
I’m in love with his heart and my world’s torn apart
I just wish I could change the rules of this game
Chorus:
But I met him too late see he already loves her
I cannot catch a break so I wait….
I’m in love (in love) with a guy who won’t look in my eyes
Because I think he knows that I want something more
But I never (never) said a word ‘cause his heart is with her (should have been you)
They hold hands and they kiss and I just wish… I just wish
Chorus:
But I met him too late…(too late) see he already loves her (loves her)
I cannot catch a break so I wait… (I wait)
Bridge:
If he’d give me a sign…I’ve been waiting for the right time
He’s right here in my heart and he’s always on my mind
Or maybe I’m foolin’ myself to think
That one day he’ll see
That I’m all he nee… Needs
VIII
And I, I believe that she should have been me
And we would be happy…so happy
Chorus:
But I met him too late see he already loves her
(I met him too late. He already has a woman)
I cannot catch a break so I wait…
(I can’t catch a break. You just wait, and wait, and wait for a chance)
But I met him too late. See he already loves her
(I met him too late. Already loves her I…whoo)
I cannot catch a break
(But I keep on waitin’ anyway, y’all)
I was moving in, moving in for the kill
Long about our third date
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
So I didn't anticipate, her making me wait, wait
Waiting on her kisses
Making me wishing for what ain't mine
Wait, waiting on her loving
Says, she'll give it up in her own sweet time
I wanna move so fast, she says slow down, hold back
She's making me wait, she says, "Baby, wait"
One week, two dates, 100 bucks later
Still ain't around first base
But I know when I'm onto something
Worth keeping me in the chase
Making me wait, wait
Waiting on her kisses
Making me wishing for what ain't mine
Wait, waiting on her loving
Says, she'll give it up in her own sweet time
I wanna move so fast, she says slow down, hold back
She's making me wait, she says, "Baby, wait"
Ain't known to be the patient kind
But I'm more than willing to be this time
Making me wait, she says, "Baby, wait"
Making me wait, wait
Waiting on her kisses
Making me wishing for what ain't mine
Wait, waiting on her loving
Says, she'll give it up in her own sweet time
I wanna move so fast, she says slow down, hold back
She's making me wait, she says, "Baby, wait"
Ah, baby wait, baby wait
How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around
There's been a breakdown, breakdown
Don't change your mind on me, just take a little time
You say the finer things are worth waiting for
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared
I been waiting for so long
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide
I look up and now your gone
I been put down, weighed down
There's no tomorrow for me
We can't let love just fade away, baby
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside
And I tell myself baby, baby if this love of ours will survive
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years
Can't hold back my tears any longer, look here
You pushed my heart around
Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad
You took away my pride
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years
I can't hold back my tears any longer
I can't hold back my tears
I can't hold back my tears baby
I can't hold back my tears oh darlin'
I can't hold back my tears baby
Oh I can't wait, baby baby baby
Don't talk to me, don't talk to me
Oh baby, I've been angry on you, oh
I can't, I can't wait, I can't, I can't wait, pretty baby
I wait to see a golden sun it leaves and then it colors me.
Embrace all these thoughts descend down to me you float so free.
Chorus:
Wait for me now.
Don't you take another piece of me you found.
Wait for me now.
Don't you take another piece of me you found
I see you now as you move before my hands that greet your face.
Close distraught eyes have no time to breathe your beauty steals me
Chorus
So you sit here and you think of all these things that could've been.
With your hands above the shadows and your head upon the sand.
Shrouding all the ground around me as we watch the sun it rises.
And the wind it whispers sweetly blowing your voice through the trees.
I'm laughing aloud so silently i'm closing my eyes as you fade into me (to me).
So you think you can take another piece of me.
And leave me dying here well close your eyes and some day you'll see.
Wait, wait cause someday you'll see that maybe i'll come back so.
Take, take another piece of me cause you never listened.
Wait, wait for me cause some day i'll be home.
Wait for me cause some day i'll be home.
Every time there's been no change
You put up walls
You feel the same
You live your life
And it's all the same
You want to find love
But it's just a game
Just wait for the right time
And wait because this is your life
Why not me?
Why not today?
I'll take my chance
And let the night fade away
Just wait for the right time
And wait because this is your life
Thank god we made it out this time
C'mon c'mon just sing along
She needs a reason to hold on and be strong
Just wait for the right time
(Verse 1)
Oh Lord, I've been holding on waiting for my breakthrough
Every day I renew my faith putting all my trust in you
I know You will never lie every Word you say is true
When I've done everything in my power to sow a seed, here's what I'll do.
(Chorus)
Take my time: It's all right
Wait In line: It's all right
If I have to sacrifice: It's all right
I don't have a clue what to do: It's all right
So I'm gonna wait on you: It's all right
Till I see the sun shine through: It's all right
(Verse 2)
People don't see how you operate: they just want things right away.
But I know you can receive it, if you only believe it: even if it does not manifest today
Lord teach me how to remain strong even in the midst of a storm
So I'll keep on offering the sacrifice of praise until my change comes. Here's what I'll do:
(Chorus 2x)
(Bridge)
Lord I give my life to You, tell me what You want me to do
YOU SAID YOURSELF SO MANY TIMES
A CRUCIFIX FOR JUST ONE CRIME
A SILENCE CRYING OUT FOR WORDS
I’LL TAKE MY TURN IF YOU JUST WAIT
WAIT
I WALK THE RUINS AND SKIRT THE TOWNS
YOU KNOW THAT NO-ONE ELSE AROUND
COULD EVER HOPE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE
I AM YOURS IF YOU JUST WAIT
[incomplete!!!] please, change if you find any mistakes
Wait
Are you hearting now
Do you cry out loud
Because you want me to see
Do you need more space
Do you hide your face
Because you want me to leave
ref:
If loving you is a crime
If wishing you stay mine
Is such a horrible thing to do
That I (?)
Before (?)
But I will miss you
Wait
Tell me what I did
Tell me what I've sad
Have I pushed you too far
Stay
Let me makes things right
Cause I don't wanna fight
Only wanna know who you are
I will miss you
(I will miss you
I will love you
I will leave you
I don't usually talk to strangers
But today, this line's unusually long
I really liked our conversation
But I guess this is goodbye; on second thought, hold on
Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day
This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Wait
We could both just mind our business
Take our coffee cups, and just be on our way
Or we could stop, and take a minute
To find out if this love really is so plain
Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day
This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Wait
It's a million to one
Let's take it anyway
Wait, it might sound crazy
I'm thinkin' maybe
We could talk and talk all day
This could be forever
We may never ever
Know if this moment slips away
Don't let this moment slip away
Wait

This article is about the animal. For the Czech order, see Order of the White Lion. For the band, see White Lion. For lion hill figure, see Whipsnade Zoo.
The white lion is occasionally found in wildlife reserves in South Africa and is a rare colour mutation of the Kruger subspecies of lion (Panthera leo krugeri). It has been perpetuated by selective breeding in zoos around the world. White lions are not yet a separate subspecies and they have been said to be indigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa for centuries, although the earliest recorded sighting in this region was 1938. Regarded as divine by locals,[1] white lions first came to public attention in the 1970s in Chris McBride's book The White Lions of Timbavati. Up until 2009, when the first pride of white lions was reintroduced to the wild, it was widely believed that the white lion could not survive in the wild. It is for this reason that, now, a large part of the population of white lions are in zoos. Another large part, however, are bred in camps, for canned hunting trophies.
It is hard to determine exactly how many white lions there are today, because they are held in captive breeding and hunting operations which don't keep adequate records. Based on available evidence, The Global White Lion Protection Trust estimate there are 500 White Lions world-wide.[2]
White lions are not albinos. Their white colour is caused by a recessive gene known as the chutiya or color inhibitor gene, distinct from the albinism gene. They vary from blonde through near-white. This coloration, however, does not appear to disadvantage their survival. The white lions of the Global White Lion Protection Trust (GWLPT) have been reintroduced into their natural habitat and have been hunting and breeding successfully without human intervention for a significant amount of time. White lions in South Africa are currently being bred almost exclusively for hunting, but Linda Tucker (the founder of GWLP] and author of The Mystery of the White Lions) and her team are trying to change the South African hunting laws.[clarification needed]

Breeding white lions[link]
The chinchilla mutation, a recessive gene, gives white lions their unusual colors. A similar gene also produces white tigers. White lions can therefore be selectively bred for zoos, animal shows and wildlife park. Such breeding involves inbreeding of close relatives and can result in inbreeding depression (genetic defects, reduced fertility, and physical defects) although this has not yet been recorded in white lions in zoos as it has been in white tigers. According to Tucker, white lions in canned hunt camps have been found to have hind-limb paralysis and serious heart defects, indicating a severe level of inbreeding involved in mass-production although they are rare in the wild. People are concerned about the White Lions mating with other lions of other alleles, because of possible extinction of the white lion. However, this is not valid as the offspring will inherit the white gene and therefore make it possible to produce white offspring in a later generation. Some critics maintain that white lions should not be introduced in to the wild because of the inbreeding that has taken place over zoos and breeding camps. However, ethical reintroduction programs such as The Global White Lion Protection Trust have ensured through the use of scientific methodologies that the lions in their program are not inbred.
Kruger and Umfolozi white lions[link]
In 1979, three litters containing white lions were recorded in Kruger National Park. In March, a female lion with three white cubs was observed near Tshokwane. In September, three white cubs (from two different lionesses) were seen. Another litter of white female cubs was captured from Kruger National Park and treated for sarcoptic mange. A white lion was observed in the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in Zululand.
White lions of unknown ancestry[link]
- A white lion breeding program is currently underway at Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve in South Africa's Eastern Cape province.
- Four white lion cubs were born at the Papanack Park Zoo outside Ottawa, but did not resub-adults have since been released into the main reserve with the other tawny lions. Queen has since given birth to a further 3 white lion cubs. Continuous monitoring by the Wildlife Department at Sanbona has ensured their white lions are still wild, well, and free.
Jurques Zoo in France[link]
In May 2007 four white lion cubs were born at Jurques Zoo in France. The cubs consisted of one male and three females. Each cub weighed approximately 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) at birth, and all four were in good health. However, they needed to be hand fed because their mother was not taking proper care of them.
Belgrade Zoo in Serbia[link]
Belgrade zoo in Serbia has 12 white lions. In 2010 four were born by two female lions, each of weight about 1.5kg (3.3 pounds).[3] Four new white lions were born in April 2011.[4] The zoo was awarded in 2009 for its professional care for animals.
West Midland Safari Park[link]
In 2004 West Midland Safari Park had 4 white lions arrive at the park the only white lions in the UK and they settled into the Kingdom of the White Lion exhibit at the park very well, 4 years later one lioness had 4 cubs in the space of 9 hours, Doubling the total of the 4 to 8 in the UK. The pride at the Park in Worcestershire are they only pride of white lion in the UK and are breeding very well.
Genetics[link]
White lions are not albinos but are leucistic. They have pigment visible in the eyes (which may be the normal hazel or golden color, blue-gray, or green-gray), paw pads and lips. Blue-eyed white lions exist and may be selectively bred. The leucistic trait is due to the chinchilla mutation that inhibits the deposition of pigment along the hair shaft, restricting it to the tips. The less pigment there is along the hair shaft, the paler the lion. As a result "white" lions range from blonde through to near white. The males have pale manes and tail tips instead of the usual dark tawny or black. The Latin name of Panthera leo krugeri is not limited to white lions. It applies to all South African lion subspecies; the prides of which are mostly located in Kruger National Park and nearby game reserves.
White specimens usually have a yellowish-brown or golden eye color which is very similar to their tawny cousins, though some have bluish coloring like the white tiger.
Belgrade Zoo has become known as a center of natural reproduction of white lions. The first specimen arrived in 2005 and Belgrade became the first zoo in Europe to have the rare animals.[citation needed]
Six years later, the "Garden of Good Hope," boasts that in his area currently has ten white lions.[citation needed]
In the wild within their natural endemic range[link]
In 2003, the Global White Lion Protection Trust (WLT) initiated the first ever reintroduction of white lions to their natural endemic range - the Greater Timbavati region in South Africa. Preliminary results have shown that the hunting success of the white lion pride was comparable to or higher than the wild prides ('normal' coloured / tawny) of the Timbavati itself (Turner 2005, Turner in prep.). This pride of "all" white lions has shattered the misperception that white lions cannot hunt successfully (within their natural endemic habitat) due to a perceived lack of camouflage. The long-term objective of the WLT is to restore the natural balance by reintroducing an integrated pride/s of white and tawny lions within their endemic range. White lions are a unique contribution to the biodiversity of the region and are revered by the local communities that hold them sacred.[5]

David James Archuleta (born December 28, 1990) is an American pop singer-songwriter. At ten years old he won the children's division of the Utah Talent Competition leading to other television singing appearances.[5] When he was twelve years old, Archuleta became the Junior Vocal Champion on Star Search 2.[5] In 2007, at sixteen years old, he became one of the youngest contestants on the seventh season of American Idol.[6] In May 2008 he finished as the runner-up, receiving 44 percent of over 97 million votes.
In August 2008 Archuleta released "Crush," the first single from his self-titled debut album.[5][7][8][9] The album, released three months later, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart; it has sold over 750,000 copies in the U.S., and over 900,000 worldwide.[10][11][12] In October 2010 he released a third album, The Other Side of Down featuring lead single "Something 'Bout Love". In 2011, Archuleta announced he is taking a two-year hiatus to be a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[13][14] As of February 2012, Archuleta has sold 1,108,000 albums and 3,327,000 tracks in the United States.[15]

Early life[link]
Archuleta was born in Miami, Florida, to Jeff Archuleta and Lupe Marie Mayorga. His mother is a salsa singer and dancer from Honduras and his father is a jazz musician of Spanish-Basque descent;[16] he speaks a little bit of Spanish and aspires to learn more.[17] Archuleta has four siblings.[18] His family moved to the Sandy, Utah, suburb of Salt Lake City when he was six. He now lives in Murray where he attended Murray High School.[19] He is a former Boy Scout and is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[20]
Archuleta started singing at the age of six, inspired by a Les Misérables video. "That musical is what started all of this", he said.[21] He started performing publicly at age ten when he participated in the Utah Talent Competition, singing "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton; he received a standing ovation and won the Child Division.[22]
Music career[link]
2003–06: Star Search and musical beginnings[link]
In 2003, when he was twelve years old, Archuleta sang on several episodes of the television show Star Search.[23][24][25] He ended up as the Junior Vocal Champion on Star Search 2, Losing the Junior Grand Champion title to Tiffany Evans.[26] On one episode, he sang against then-11-year-old Alexandréa Lushington, who became a "top 20" semi-finalist on American Idol alongside Archuleta.[24] Around the second year of being on Star Search he started focusing on the lyrics, "I didn't even pay attention to the lyrics when I was 12, 13".[27]
Archuleta's competing on Star Search was preceded by an appearance on The Jenny Jones Show, meeting the finalists from American Idol's first season, for whom he performed a spontaneous a cappella rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls. He received praise from Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson,[27][28] and the episode led to appearances on CBS's The Early Show. The year after Star Search, he found out he had partial vocal paralysis but declined risky surgery and has said he feels he is almost fully recovered.[21][27] He limited his singing for specific occasions like Stadium of Fire, the Independence Day celebration at Brigham Young University Stadium.[27]
Archuleta made initial attempts at songwriting and arranging music after his star search experience and has written at least three songs.[27] His first singles in 2002 included "Dream Sky High" and "Don't Tell Me".[29]
[edit] 2007–08: American Idol and David Archuleta
Archuleta received his ticket to the Hollywood final auditions at the San Diego tryouts – held at Qualcomm Stadium at the end of July 2007 – with a performance of John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change" with judge Randy Jackson spontaneously joining in to sing the background "waiting" in the song.[22][30] He was sixteen during the Hollywood auditions and attended school while a part of American Idol's seventh season.[6] His parents were there because he was a minor.[6] Archuleta also took advantage of the decision to allow contestants to play musical instruments when he accompanied himself on piano for his performances of "Crazy", "Another Day in Paradise", and "Angels".
During the 1970s themed week Archuleta sang the John Lennon song "Imagine", omitting the earlier verses in favor of the last one. Los Angeles Times columnist Ann Powers speculated that he wanted to avoid singing "no religion too" because of his faith. "As a Mormon, he's unlikely to espouse the song's agnostic ideal," she wrote.[31] However, he did sing the entire song on Good Things Utah when he was thirteen. When asked by judge Randy Jackson why he didn't sing the first verse, Archuleta said the third verse was his favorite because it has "a great message."[32]
After his performance of "We Can Work It Out", which judge Simon Cowell called "a mess", Entertainment Tonight reported that Archuleta was feeling pressure from his father, Jeff Archuleta, who "reportedly yelled at" his son after a recording session the previous night.[33] Jeff Archuleta, in an interview with Us Weekly, denied the claim.[34][35] A May 2008 Associated Press article reported that Jeff Archuleta had his son add a lyric from the Sean Kingston song "Beautiful Girls" into an interpretation of "Stand by Me" (from which "Beautiful Girls" samples its bass line), increasing the costs for licensing, and that this had resulted in Jeff Archuleta being banned from American Idol backstage rehearsals.[36] Archuleta defended his father calling him "a great guy" who keeps him grounded.[37]
During the Top 7 results show, the contestants were split into two groups. In one group was Syesha Mercado, Brooke White, and Kristy Lee Cook. In the other group was David Cook, Carly Smithson, and Jason Castro. Archuleta was the only one not sorted into a group. He was declared safe after the groups were formed, then was asked to choose the group he thought was safe. He refused, and sat down on the floor of the stage, much like Melinda Doolittle had done the previous season.
In the finale he sang "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "In This Moment" and "Imagine". Judge Simon Cowell declared that Archuleta won the evening and even David Cook, who ultimately won, thought Archuleta would win: "I have to concede it, the kid came out all three songs and nailed it", said Cook.[38] In the final tally, Archuleta received 44 percent of the votes.[39][40] During the finale show, identical commercials featuring Archuleta and fellow finalist Cook mimicked the Tom Cruise scene from Risky Business where he dances in his underwear playing an air guitar; they were promoting the game franchise Guitar Hero.[41]
Archuleta's first appearances on music ranking charts were with the three songs he performed in the American Idol finale; "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "In This Moment", and "Imagine", debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of June 7, 2008. "Imagine" entered at number 36 (giving Archuleta his first top forty hit), "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" at number 58, and "In This Moment" entered at number 60.[43] That same week he had three songs on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart as well, where his versions of "Longer", "Think of Me", and "Angels" debuted at number 15, number 19, and number 24 respectively.[44] In July 2008 So You Think You Can Dance, a dance competition reality show, Archuleta's cover of "Imagine" by John Lennon was the featured music for contestants Katee Shean and William Wingfield with their pas de deux performance.[45]
Archuleta signed with Jive Records in June 2008. His self-titled album, David Archuleta, was released in November 2008. His first single "Crush" was released in August 2008 on Z100, a New York radio station.[7][46] On August 12 "Crush" became available on iTunes.[47] It debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, beaten only by Rihanna's "Disturbia".[48] It was the best chart debut in more than 18 months.[49] According to Nielsen SoundScan, the track sold 166,000 downloads in the first week in the United States.[50] It has sold 1.92 million digital copies in the US.[51]
Along with American Idol winner David Cook, Archuleta placed second on Forbes' list of "Breakout Stars of 2008".[52] The two co-presented an award at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards in August 2008.[53] Archuleta also received the Teen Choice Award surfboard for "Most Fanatic Fans".[53]

In May, Archuleta and fellow American Idol David Cook, visited the Philippines.[57] Two days later he made live appearances on two of GMA-7's shows, Sis and Eat Bulaga. He also confirmed that month that he was working on two new albums, his sophomore pop album and a Christmas album.[58] In August 2009, Archuleta won three Teen Choice Awards for Breakout Artist, Love Song, and the Music Tour category with Demi Lovato.[59] In September he won the Year in Music – Rising Male Star award at the ALMA Awards and performed a cover of the standard "Contigo en la Distancia".
Archuleta's acting debut was when he appeared as himself for his acting debut on Nickelodeon's show iCarly titled "iRocked the Vote". The episode aired February 7, 2009. He had also made a special guest appearance in Season 3 of the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana[60] In the episode "Promma Mia" as himself and he sang a duet: "I Wanna Know You" with Miley Cyrus who plays the title character; the song was featured on the soundtrack, Hannah Montana 3.

On June 1, 2010, Archuleta released Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, and the Power of Perseverance, a memoir which refers to "the partial vocal paralysis he suffered in 2004 but has now fully recovered from". He went on a book signing tour beginning in Ridgewood, New Jersey.[61] The book was a bestseller.[62]
Archuleta came back to the American Idol stage on April 7, 2010 on the show's ninth season and performed John Lennon's "Imagine", which David had performed previously in the Top 20 Week when he was a contestant on the show. After his performance, he mentioned that he was working on his third studio album.
Archuleta sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Stand by Me" at the 30th anniversary of the annual A Capitol Fourth concert in Washington, D.C. on the Fourth of July. The show was aired on PBS at 8pm EST live and tape delay PT.[63]

In an interview with AOL's Something Pitchy, Archuleta revealed that the release of his next album is planned for Fall 2010 (he did mention a late September release, but then went back to the Fall). On June 24, 2010 Jive Records announced that his new single would be released on DavidArchuleta.com on July 13, and iTunes on July 20. However, on June 30, 2010 the full version of "Something 'Bout Love" became available to play on his website. His album The Other Side of Down was released on October 5, 2010.[65]

[73]
At the conclusion of the December 19, 2011 show of the My Kind of Christmas Tour, Archuleta announced his intention to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for two years. He stated that he would return to music upon the completion of his mission.[13] Archuleta, who has reportedly been assigned to Chile, entered the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center on March 28, 2012.[74]

Notes[link]
- ^ The performance of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" wasn't aired due to licensing issues with American Idol and the original artist(s).
- ^ John Farnham released "You're the Voice" in 1985; it was re-arranged and released as a cover version by David Foster with vocalist Jeff Pescetto in 1990. Archuleta was born that same year so was able to use it for the week's theme – "Songs from birth year of contestants".

Life and career[link]
1969–94: Childhood and early work[link]
Jennifer Lynn Lopez was born on July 24, 1969[17] in the Castle Hill neighborhood of The Bronx, New York. The middle child of Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez,[18] she has an elder sister, Leslie, and a younger sister, Lynda (born June 14, 1971). David worked the night shift at the Guardian Insurance Company, before becoming a computer technician at the firm, while Guadalupe was a homemaker. When Jennifer was born, the Lopez family was living in a small apartment. A few years later, her parents had saved up enough money to be able to purchase a two-story house, which was considered a big deal for the relatively poor family.
By the age of five, Lopez began taking singing and dancing lessons. She toured New York with her school when she was seven years old.[19] Her parents stressed the importance of work ethic and being able to speak English. They encouraged their three daughters to put on performances at home, singing and dancing in front of each other and their friends so that they would stay "out of trouble".[19] Raised as a Roman Catholic;[20][21][22] Lopez spent her entire academic career in Catholic schools, finishing at the all-girls Preston High School.[23] In school, Lopez did gymnastics, ran track on a national level and was a member of the school's softball team.[24] She excelled athletically rather than academically, competing in national track championships.[19] In 1984, at age fifteen she began dating David Cruz, her first boyfriend.
While attending her final year of high school, Lopez learned about a film casting that was seeking several teenage girls for small roles. She auditioned and was cast in My Little Girl (1986), an low-budget film co-written and directed by Connie Kaiserman.[25] Lopez acted as Myra, a young woman at a center for troubled girls. After she finished filming her role in the film, Lopez knew that she wanted to become a famous movie star. To please her parents, though, she enrolled in Baruch College, only to drop out after one semester. She told her parents her dream of becoming a movie star, but they ensisted that it was a "really stupid" idea and that "no Latinos did that". The differences in opinions led Lopez to move out of their family home and into an apartment in Manhattan. During this period, Lopez performed in regional productions of the musicals: Jesus Christ, Superstar! and Oklahoma. From there, she was hired for the chorus in a Golden Musicals of Broadway, which toured Europe for a period of five months. She was unhappy with the role, as she was the only member of the chorus not to have a solo. She later got a job on the show Synchronicity in Japan, where she acted as a dancer, singer and a choreographer.[26]
Lopez gained her first regular high-profile job as a Fly Girl dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1991. She applied for the job after one of the cast members was unavailable to continue with the show. Out of two thousand applicants, Lopez made it to the finals. She became the runner-up, but eventually received the role when the winner was unable to accept the job. She moved with Cruz to Los Angeles to film the series and remained a regular cast member until 1993 when she decided to pursue an acting career. After her departure from the show, Lopez became a backup dancer for Janet Jackson; also making an appearance in her 1993 video "That's the Way Love Goes".[27][28][29] Lopez received her first professional acting gig in the direct-to-video drama film Lost in the Wild (1993), co-starring alongside Lindsay Wagner and Robert Loggia.[30] In 1993 and 1994 Lopez starred as Melinda Lopez in the CBS television series Second Chances and its spin-off Hotel Malibu. Both shows ran for only a brief period, receiving negative reviews.[31][32][33][34]
[edit] 1995–98: Selena and first marriage
Lopez's received her first high-budget film role in Gregory Nava's 1995 drama My Family, playing the character of Young Maria in the 1920s.[35] After starring alongside Jimmy Smits and Edward James Olmos in My Family, which earned her a Independent Spirit Award nomination, Lopez starred in the action film Money Train, opposite Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson.[36][37][38] In 1996, she reportedly beat out Ashley Judd and Lauren Holly for the supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's 1996 comedy Jack starring Robin Williams.[39] She then starred opposite Jack Nicholson in Bob Rafelson's well-received noir thriller Blood and Wine (1996).[23]
"That said, [Jennifer Lopez] takes what little she has in the way of a script and does a superb job playing [Selena Quintanilla Perez]. The movie rests squarely on her shoulders and she carries it well from start to finish. Her concert work is slick and stylish. It isn't her fault if there's too much of it in the final product. "
Lopez's first big break came in 1996, when she was chosen to play the title role in Selena, a biopic of the Tejano pop singer Selena.[23] Despite having previously worked with the film's director on My Family, Lopez was subjected to an intense auditioning process before she was cast in the film.[41] Lopez played Selena in her twenties, while Rebecca Lee Maza played Selena in her younger years.[42] During pre-production, Mexican-American activists were highly critical that Jennifer Lopez, a New York City native born to Puerto Rican parents, was selected to play Selena. They preferred an actress with Mexican roots. However, after seeing Lopez's portrayal of Selena, they revised their opinions and were more accepting of Nava's decision.[43] Lopez earned widespread outstanding reviews and praise from critics for her portrayal of Selena. Kenneth Turan from Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan while giving the film a mixed review, he wrote that Selena was not just a celebration of Selena's life, but the actress who played her.[44] Joe Baltake said that Lopez was "is sensational in the title role" and complimented her for pulling off lip-syncing to Selena's original tracks as her own, as she was not a trained singer at the time.[45] She garnered multiple awards and nominations, including a Golden Globe Award nomination for "Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy".[citation needed]
On February 22, 1997, Lopez married Cuban-born Ojani Noa, who she met while he worked as a waiter in a Miami restaurant; they were divorced by January 1998.[46] Later that year, Lopez appeared in two major films. She starred in the horror film Anaconda alongside Ice Cube and Jon Voight, playing the role of Terri Flores, a director who is shooting a documentary while traveling through the Amazon River.[47] Despite being a modest box office hit, the film was critically panned.[48] Lopez then starred as the leading actress in the neo-noir film U Turn, which is based on the book Stray Dogs, starring alongside Sean Penn and Billy Bob Thornton.[23] In 1998, she had one of her most acclaimed roles, starring opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight, Steven Soderbergh's adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel.[23][49] Cast as a deputy federal marshal who falls for a charming criminal, Lopez won rave reviews for her performance and in the process she became the first Latina actress to earn over $1 million for a role.[50][51] That same year, she provided the voice for Azteca on the computer-animated film Antz.[52][53] Around this time, Lopez started dating rap mogul Sean Combs. Combs allegedly showered Lopez with diamonds and jewelry, the inspiration for her 2000 hit, "Love Don't Cost a Thing".[54]

By May 1999, publicity for Lopez's debut album had begun and the news spread fast.[55] Lopez's debut album On the 6, a reference to the 6 subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill,[23] was released on June 1, 1999, and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. Her debut single, "If You Had My Love" was released on May 21, 1999, and reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of June 12, 1999.[56][57] The song stayed on the chart for a total of 25 weeks.[57] It was proceeded by the release of "Waiting for Tonight", which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was a dance club hit.[58] Prior to the release of "Waiting For Tonight" as a single, a Spanish language Latin-flavored ballad with Marc Anthony "No Me Ames" was released and failed to chart on major charts.[55][56] On the 6 featured guest artists such as Big Pun and Fat Joe on the track "Feelin' So Good", which had moderate success on the Billboard Hot 100, however failed to reach the top 50. "Let's Get Loud", the final single, earned Lopez a Grammy Award nomination in the "Best Dance Recording" category of the 2001 Grammy Awards.[59] "Waiting for Tonight" was nominated for the same category the previous year.[60] "No Me Ames" received two nominations at the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards – "Best Pop Duo/Group with Vocal Performance" and "Best Music Video". In addition, Lopez was nominated for more awards then any other at the 1999 The Billboard Music Video Awards, scoring seven nominations in total, leading the likes of Christina Aguilera.[61]
On February 23, 2000, Lopez showed up to the 42nd Grammy Awards with Combs wearing a plunging exotic green Versace silk chiffon dress, which became known as the "Green Versace Jungle Dress" by Lopez. The dress, known for its low cut neck that extended before her navel and its open back, caused much controversy and garnered media attention. Images of Lopez in the green dress were downloaded from the Grammy website 642,917 times in just 24 hours after the event.[62] Lopez was surprised by the enormous media coverage, declaring in an interview: "It was a nice dress. I had no idea it was going to become such a big deal."[63] Versace later revealed that the dress was the turning point of her career, saying that the media now had confidence in her own work, after the death of Gianni Versace.[63] With the release and promotion of On The 6 over, Lopez had successfully converted herself from film star to pop star within 12 months.[64] Around this time, Lopez's fans started to dub her as "J.Lo". Lopez then starred opposite Vincent D'Onofrio, in the psychological thriller film The Cell, released on August 18, 2000.[65] She portrayed Catherine Deane, a child psychologist who uses virtual reality to enter into the minds of her patients to coax them out of their comas. The film was released in August 2000 and became a box-office success, opening at number one.[49][66]
By August 2000, Lopez had begun work on her sophomore album.[67][68] J.Lo was released on January 23, 2001, and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, exceeding sales of 270,000 copies in its first week.[69][70] In addition, the album dethroned The Beatles from the top spot.[70] At the same time, her romantic comedy film, The Wedding Planner, which she starred in alongside Matthew McConaughey led box office receipts,[71][72] making Lopez the first female to have a film and an album at number one in the same week.[23][69][71] J.Lo was more urban oriented than On the 6. The lead single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing", was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[73] She followed it up with "Play" which gave her another top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK.[74] The album's third single "I'm Real" reached number one on the Hot 100, as well as spending over a year on the chart, with a total of 62 weeks.[74] "I'm Real" was controversial for using a sample of the song "Firecraker"; which singer Mariah Carey had wanted to sample first. It was later shockingly announced that Carey's ex husband, Tommy Mottola had instructed record executive Irv Gotti to give Lopez the sample before Carey, and Lopez was unaware of this.[75] "Ain't It Funny" was released; however it did not receive proper commercial promotion in the United States therefore ineligible for charting on the Hot 100. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs ("I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny), which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Cadillac Tah (on the "Ain't It Funny" remix). "Ain't It Funny (murder remix)" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks, and led Radio Airplay and Pop Songs charts.[74] On July 24, 2001, She re-released J. Lo on her 32nd birthday with the remix of "I'm Real" as a bonus track. Also, "Si Ya Se Acabó" was released in Spain, due to the success "Que Ironia." In 2001, Lopez performed on tour on the Let's Get Loud "Live in Puerto Rico" Concert. J.Lo has sold 4 million copies in the United States alone. On September 27, 2004, a box set was released by Epic Records featuring On The 6 and J.Lo combined.[76]
Lopez next role was in a supernatural romance film, Angel Eyes which disappointed at the box office and garnered mixed reviews.[77] Lopez's boyfriend, former back-up dancer Cris Judd—who she met on the set of the video for "Love Don't Cost a Thing"—proposed to her at a barbecue[78] and they were married on September 29, 2001.[79] They traveled to Italy for their honeymoon, and later stayed at the home of designer and a longtime friend of Lopez's, Donatella Versace.[78]
[edit] 2002–03: J to tha L-O! The Remixes, This Is Me... Then and Bennifer
Following the success of the re-release of J.Lo, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remix effort, releasing J to tha L–O! The Remixes, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart, selling over 150,000 copies in its opening week.[80][81] Featured artists on J to tha L–O! The Remixes include P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and Nas, and the album included rare dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the third all-time biggest-selling remix album in history, after Michael Jackson's Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, The Beatles' Love and Madonna's You Can Dance, having sold a total of 1.5 million copies as of October 2010.[82] In addition, it dethroned Alan Jackson's Drive from 3 consecutive weeks at the number-one spot on the chart.[83][84] J to tha L-O: The Remixes sold 624,000 copies within its first month, and stayed in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for a month, too.[85] It remained the only album to debut at number one in the United States for nearly 10 years, until Justin Bieber's remix effort in 2011 debuted at the top spot with similar opening sales.[86] "I'm Gonna Be Alright" which was previously on her J.Lo album was released as a single; impacting the charts by July 2002 and reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.[74][87] "I'm Gonna Be Alright" spent 23 weeks on the chart.[74] The track "Alive" written by Jennifer and Cris Judd was released as a single from the remix album.[88]
In May 2002, she starred in the thriller film Enough as Slim, a woman abused by her husband and on the run from him. The film garnered negative reviews;[89] however the fight scene at the finale of the movie was praised.[90] In addition, the film was considered a "kick-butt, female empowerment" movie.[91]
In June 2002, Lopez filed for divorce from her husband Cris Judd when she began publicly dating actor Ben Affleck.[92] Judd's father, Larry Judd blamed Affleck for the break up of his son's marriage. He told New York Daily News that Judd was the "best thing that happened to [Lopez]" and thought that "Mr. Affleck would honor a married women. [They'd] be happier if they just told the truth."[93] Lopez and Affleck announced their relationship at her thirty-second birthday.[94] They were engaged months later.[95][96] The media dubbed them "Bennifer" during their relationship, and became a prominent supercouple in the media.
Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Me... Then, on November 26, 2002. Unlike previous albums, it was more R&B oriented and much of its lyrical structure were about her relationship with her fiancé, Affleck.[97] The songs from the album, in particular the fifth track, "Dear Ben" detailed her romantic relationship with Affleck.[97] The album sold over 310,000 copies in its first week, Lopez's highest first-week sales to date, and reached two on the charts in the United States, and was on the charts for a total of forty weeks.[98] Prior to its release, the album's lead single "Jenny from the Block" was released. It reached 3 on the Hot 100, and was known for its controversial music video featuring Affleck. The song is about Lopez remaining modest and intoning her childhood roots vowing she wishes to remain simple despite her diamonds.[97] "All I Have", a duet with LL Cool J served as the third single from This Is Me... Then. It became Lopez's fifth song to top the Hot 100 charts.[74] "I'm Glad" and "Baby I Love U!" were released as the final singles from This Is Me... Then, both commercial disappointing, failing to match the success of her previous singles; however the music video for "I'm Glad" received four nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. The video recreated scenes from the 1983 film Flashdance, leading to a lawsuit over copyright infringement, which was later dismissed.[99][100] This Is Me... Then has sold over 2.5 million copies to date in the United States, her last album to reach over a million copies in sales in that country.[82]
After the release of This Is Me... Then, Lopez took time away from music to focus on films. After two consecutive critical and commercial failures in the films Enough and Angel Eyes, Lopez bounced back with the box office hit Maid in Manhattan, released on December 13, 2002. Her character, Marisa Ventura, is a struggling single mother who lives in the Bronx and makes her living cleaning rooms in a super-luxurious Manhattan hotel, and gets mistaken for a socialite by a princely politician, who she falls in love with.[101] Maid in Manhattan was a box-office hit, opening at number one. The New York Times compared the film's storyline to her 2002 song, "Jenny from the Block", commenting, "In her new single, 'Jenny From the Block', Jennifer Lopez declares that despite her enormous wealth and global fame, she has not lost touch with her roots."[102]
Lopez and Ben Affleck eventually succumbed to overexposure from the media, however, which caused public interest in their romance to result in less admiration and negatively affected their careers.[103][104] Gigli, a film which Lopez starred as a lesbian opposite Affleck, was released on August 1, 2003. The film was considered a box office failure, and is often considered one of the worst films ever made.[105][106] Once again she starred in another movie with Affleck, Jersey Girl, but only grossed $36 million at the box office and received poor reviews.
Lopez and Affleck canceled their wedding, which had been scheduled for September 14, 2003 on the Californian Coast, citing the media's interference with the event as the reason.[107][108][109] Months later their wedding was canceled once again, four days before the event. Lopez was seen without her ring,[110] and it was later confirmed that the 18-month romance ended on January 20, 2004, just three days after Affleck returned to Los Angeles from the Sundance Film Festival.[111]
[edit] 2004–05: Shall We Dance?, third marriage and Rebirth
In August 2003, (after the international flub of "Gigli") it was announced that Lopez was star in Shall We Dance?.[112] The move was released in 2004, in which Lopez starred as Paulina alongside Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon; it reached the third spot at the Box Office. Shall We Dance?, grossed $112,238,000, at the international box office. Domestically, Shall We Dance? grossed $57,890,460 and a total of $170,128,460 worldwide.[113] By this time, Lopez was well established as one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood and the highest-paid Latin actress in Hollywood history, though she's never had a film grossing over $100 million in the USA. She was on The Hollywood Reporter's list of the top ten actress salaries in 2002, 2003, and 2004.[10]
Two months after her break up with Affleck, Lopez was publicly seen dating Marc Anthony, they were married secretly on June 5, 2004 at her Beverly Hills Mansion and maintained a quiet relationship away from the media unlike her previous.[114][115] Two men attempted to ransom a private wedding video which was stolen from the couple for $1 million dollars, and they were arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of conspiracy, attempted grand larceny and possession of stolen property.[116]
Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005.[117] The lead single was "Get Right",[117] reaching 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was a dance club hit.[118] The song reached number one in the United Kingdom. The video for "Get Right" has Lopez portraying many different characters in a nightclub and sporting several different looks and occupations.[119] Following the release of "Get Right", the album debuted (and peaked) at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 261,000 copies in its opening week.[120] It quickly fell off the charts, and produced one more single, "Hold You Down", which featured Fat Joe, reached number 64 on the Hot 100 while it peaked at number six in the UK and ascended to the top 20 in Australia.[74] The song "Cherry Pie" was intended to be released as a single, however due to low sales (despite a high start) of Rebirth these plants were scrapped. Rebirth was certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA; selling over 700,000 copies so far in the United States,[82] and has enjoyed international success. In May 2005, the film Monster-in-Law was released. It was Jane Fonda's first movie in several years.[121] It featured Lopez as Charlie, an artist who is pitted against her fiance's conniving mother when she does not accept her as her son's girlfriend (or soon-to-be wife).[121][122][123] However, the $43-million film became a box-office smash debuting at number one, earning $83 million ($154.7 worldwide)[124] during its theatrical run in summer 2005. Lopez received $15 million for her role in Monster-in-Law, remaining one of her highest paychecks for a movie yet.[125] Later, she starred in a film entitled An Unfinished Life, which did not do well; only reaching 11 at the Box office.
[edit] 2006–08: Como Ama una Mujer, Brave and motherhood
In 2006, Lopez was featured in LL Cool J's single "Control Myself", which was released on February 1, 2006. It reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart, Lopez's first collaborative Top 10 Hit in the U.S. since 2003. Also that year, she was in the movie Bodertown; The movie is based on a series of unsolved murders in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, a maquiladora border city across the Río Bravo del Norte (Rio Grande) from El Paso, Texas. Estimates of the murders conflict, yet, conservatively speaking over four hundred women, maybe many more, have been kidnapped, tortured and murdered since 1993 in and around Ciudad Juárez.[126] Lopez garnered a few awards and recognition for this part. The film was not a large success, though. Jennifer was one of the recipients of the Women in Film Crystal Award, after her appearance in Bordertown.[127]
It was reported that Lopez was to release a full Spanish language album.[128] Contactmusic.com said that Lopez would "prove critics wrong" and prove that she actually has a voice, through this new project.[128] Upon the eve of the album's release, Lopez explained that she had previously aimed to sing in Spanish, however her career took a different path.[129] Her first full Spanish album, Como Ama una Mujer was released on March 23, 2007. It debuted at 10 on the Billboard 200, making her one of few to reach the top ten with a Spanish album.[130] The album was a natural and large success within the Latin community, reaching number one on Billboard Top Latin Albums, where it remained for seven weeks.[130] Worldwide, it was a moderate success, reaching the top ten in several countries such as Italy and Germany.
"I thought that my career was going to be in Spanish music, honestly. My life took a different turn, which was great for me. But my heart was always kind of on the Spanish side."
— Jennifer Lopez, on her Spanish music career[129]
Como Ama una Mujer marks the highest debut sales in the United States for a Spanish album and the highest digital sales for a Spanish album.[131] The York Press, on the album, stated that "Lopez stunned many with her Spanish-language Como Ama una Mujer, which at last proved that she is a major musical force."[132] For promotion of Como Ama Una Mujer, Lopez traveled back to the Bronx, to meet fans and sign copies of her album in her old neighborhood.[133] Over 500 people attended.[133] In an interview, Lopez stated "It touches my heart to be able to bring this album back to my neighborhood, back to my home."[134] Como ama una Mujer produced a single, "Qué Hiciste" (Spanish for "What Did You Do") which peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Latin Songs and the Hot Dance Club Play.[74] She performed the song on American Idol, in the same week she was a mentor; she is the first person to perform a Latin song on the hit show.[131] On July 24, 2007 (Lopez's birthday) Billboard magazine reported that Lopez and husband Marc Anthony would "co-headline" a worldwide tour called "Juntos en Concierto" starting in New Jersey on September 29.[135] The tour launched September 28, 2007 at the Mark G. Etess Arena and ended on November 7, 2007 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. On the finale date of their tour, Lopez and Anthony announced that they were expecting a child, her first and his fourth.[136][137] Later that same month, it was reported that Lopez was having difficulties with her pregnancy. These reports were deemed false by per rep, stating that "she is very healthy and continuing with her schedule as planned."[138] In August 2007, Lopez collaborated on the feature film, El Cantante, with Anthony. Lopez, who also co-produced the film, "does enough acting for the two of them in her role as Puchi, Héctor's wife" while creating a very interesting and edgy performance.[139] The film is in English, with creative use of subtitles for songs with Spanish lyrics.
In August 2007 Lopez began work on a new English studio album, titled Brave[140][141] For Brave, she collaborated with producers Midi Mafia, J. R. Rotem, Lynn and Wade and Ryan Tedder, with Rotem working on some tracks with writing partner Evan "Kidd" Bogart.[142] Released on October 9, 2007, it debuted at 12 on the Billboard 200; commercially, it is her least successful album to date.[143] It spawned two singles "Do It Well" and "Hold It, Don't Drop It", which both reached number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, but failed to make further impact.[74] It was her first album to fail to produce a top twenty song. Brave earned mostly mixed to negative reviews, Rashod D. Ollison from The Sun said that "Brave – was not to daring".[144] However, there were a few positive reviews. The York Press compared Brave to Britney Spears' album due for release around the same time.[132] Praising Lopez for not needing digital enhancement of her voice in "Brave" compared to Spears, they turned their favor to Brave instead of Blackout despite praising Spears' for delivering a "decent album".[132] Brave has sold over 160,000 copies (which sales are comparable to that of Lopez' previous first week sales of her first four albums).[82]
On February 5, 2008, Lopez confirmed that she was having twins.[145] On February 22, Lopez gave birth to a son Maximilian David Muñiz and a daughter Emme Maribel in Long Island, New York.[146][147] The twins were introduced in the March 11, 2008 issue of People magazine, for which the magazine paid a reported $6 million for—the photographs of the twins became the most expensive celebrity picture ever taken.[148] Following the birth of her twins, Lopez took a break from her career in 2008.
[edit] 2009–11: American Idol and Love?
While pregnant with twins Max and Emme, Lopez had been writing material for her seventh studio album Love?, with a planned release for the summer of 2010.[149] On what to expect of the album, she said "Once you get past the party on the album, and you listen to some of the words, you will see that I really talk about the power of love but also the devastation of it and everything in between."[150] A song titled "Fresh Out the Oven" featuring Miami rapper Pitbull surfaced online in October 2009 but her record label said that it was simply a buzz single.[151] It topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The project's official lead single, "Louboutins", had its radio debut on November 23, 2009, following the song's premiere and performance at the 2009 American Music Awards. The song only managed to enter the Hot Dance Club Play chart six weeks after release and reaching number 1, however, it failed to enter any other chart, including the Billboard Hot 100. On January 27, 2010, it was announced that Lopez would guest-star on an episode of How I Met Your Mother as Anita Appleby, a no-nonsense author of self-help books that teach women how to mold men into "relationship machines" through the power of denial.[152] In February 2010 Lopez and her record label of ten years, Epic Records, parted ways.[153][154] Lopez's manager, Benny Medina, confirmed the news, saying "Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music Group, and they have shared many successes together, but the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction of her career as an actress and recording artist... She is grateful and appreciative to everyone at Sony for all that they accomplished together."[155] Lopez later released a statement to the media where she said that she had already completed her contractual obligations with Sony Music Entertainment and Epic Records and decided it was for the best to end the partnership on amicable terms. She added that she found a new "home" [record label] for the album 'Love?'.[156] Shortly after being spotted talking to Island Def Jam's chairman and CEO L.A. Reid,[157] it was confirmed on March 19, 2010 that Lopez signed with Island Def Jam, and was working on new material for Love? with RedZone Entertainment (Kuk Harrell, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart).[158][159] In April 2010, she appeared in the romantic comedy The Back-up Plan.[160] The film debuted at the top spot at the Box Office.[161][162] While the film didn't meet positive reviews, Lopez's performance as "Zoe" was praised and called a "winning performance".[163][164]
In June 2010, following the departure of Ellen DeGeneres from American Idol, it was reported that Lopez was in talks to join season ten's judging panel.[165][166][167] However, it was then reported that Lopez was out of the running due to "outrageous demands",[168][169] something which returning Idol producer, Nigel Lythgoe responded to by saying "[Jennifer] is in no way a diva, I've worked with her on quite a few occasions and I have never yet seen her be a diva." He did not confirm or deny reports of the contract negotiations between Lopez and the other Idol producers.[170] Both Lopez and husband, Marc Anthony, were being considered for a role on The X Factor for their appeal to 'Latin' and 'International' markets.[171] Lopez's involvement in The X Factor was ruled out when the media reported that she had accepted an offer to become a judge on season ten of Idol, despite being offered roles on both shows.[172] The announcement was made official on September 22, 2010. MTV said "the deal was mutually beneficial to all those involved" whilst CNN reported that Lopez was viewing it as a decision to revive her career while Idol producers believe Lopez and Steven Tyler's appointments will strengthen viewing figures.[173] The public agreed that Lopez was a more suitable judge replacement for Ellen, as she had experience within the music industry, which DeGeneres lacked.[174]
In January 2011, Lopez's new single "On the Floor" featuring Pitbull (their second collaboration) surfaced online[175] and it was later announced as the lead single from Love?, produced by RedOne, who predicted that it was going to be a "big hit".[176] "On The Floor" was a commercial success, debuting at nine on the Hot 100 and peaking at three, her highest-charting song in eight years.[177] It's accompanying music video premiered on an episode of American Idol on March 3, and has since become the highest viewed video by a female artist on YouTube, with over 510 million views.[178] The song sold 8.4 million copies, becoming the fourth best-selling digital single of the year.[179] Love? produced two more singles, the Taio Cruz produced "I'm Into You" featuring Lil Wayne, and "Papi", which became her 10th and 11th chart-toppers on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[180] Love? was finally released on May 3, 2011 and reached the fifth position on the Billboard 200.[181][182] It was a moderate success, and viewed as a humble comeback from Lopez, as many had considered her recording career over.[143]
On July 15, days before Lopez's forty-second birthday, following seven years of marriage to Marc Anthony, the couple's representative announced that they were separating[183][184] and Anthony later filed for divorce on April 9, 2012, citing irreconcilable differences.[185] In November, she was named "Women of the year" by Glamour Magazine.[186] Lopez was featured on will.i.am's single "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)". On December 13, 2011, Los Angeles Times named her the "World's greatest musical comeback act", a ranking from an accuracast, a digital search that analyzed over a billion Google searches since 2004.[187] Lopez ranked ahead of comebacks from artists such as Mariah Carey and Ricky Martin.[187] She was also named "Best Comeback" act by Billboard.com Reader's Poll, leading with 47% of votes for the title, beating out Kelly Clarkson (17%) and Evanescence (12%).[188]
[edit] 2012: ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen and Dance Again World Tour
Lopez returned as judge on the eleventh season of American Idol, reportedly earning $US20 million, compared to the $US12 million she earned last year.[189] Lopez worked with ex-husband Marc Anthony and director-choeographer Jamie King on the talent series ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen, created by Simon Fuller. It follows Lopez, Anthony and King as they travel across 21 countries in Latin America to find new talent.[190] It premiered on January 28, 2012 on Univision and was a ratings hit for the channel.[191][192]
In late 2011, it was confirmed that Lopez would be releasing a greatest hits album in 2012, with her vocal producer Kuk Harrell and The-Dream confirming their involvement in the project.[193][194][195] L.A. Reid, chairman and CEO for Epic Records, confirmed on his Twitter account that a greatest hits album is in production.[196] Later confirming an upcoming release herself, Lopez said the basis for her album was again "Love".[197] Island Def Jam Records' Senior Vice President of A&R, Chris Anokute stated in an interview that he is working with Lopez on a dance album.[198] In April 2012 Lopez released the lead single from her greatest hits album, "Dance Again" featuring American rapper Pitbull. It charted at 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also became her twelfth number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs.[199] Later that month, Lopez was featured on Wisin & Yandel's song "Follow the Leader" from their upcoming album.[200] Lopez is also working on two possible new songs, entitled "Clothes Off" and "Goin' In".[201][202] Three new songs will appear on Lopez's upcoming greatest hits album.[203] Lopez recorded "Goin' In" with Flo Rida for the film Step Up Revolution (2012). She debuted it at the finale American Idol with a performance medley that included "Follow the Leader", and the song made its premiere on Ryan Seacrest's radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest on May 24, 2012 and will be released as a single on June 19, 2012.[204]
During an interview with Extra TV Lopez confirmed that she had been working on a possible tour;[205] she had previously talked about the possibility of a tour after the release of Love? around June 2011, which never materialized, as it could have jeapordised her position as a judge on American Idol.[206] On June 23 and 27 Lopez will perform for her first headlining concert in Brazil for the Pop Music Festival in Sao Paulo.[207] Furthermore, reports have said that Lopez is set to tour Latin America, with plans of visiting Panama, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Chile.[208] Since this, sources have reported that Lopez is planning her first ever global world tour, which will have legs in United States, South America, Europe and Asia; and over 60 dates.[209][210] It was announced on April 30, 2012 that Lopez would be going on a co-headlining world tour with Enrique Iglesias.[211] The tour will earn Lopez an estimated $US13 million.[189] Before this begins, Lopez will begin her Dance Again World Tour which will carry out throughout her tour with Iglesias.
Lopez is involved in multiple films, the first time she has been in years. She starred as Holly — a woman who adopts a baby from abroad with her husband after difficulty conceiving — in What to Expect When You're Expecting.[212] The film was released to theaters on May 18, 2012.[213] Lopez voices Shira in the upcoming animated film, Ice Age: Continental Drift which is the fourth movie in the Ice Age series.[214] Another film which Lopez has shot her parts for, Parker will be released in 2013.[215][216] Director Taylor Hackford has stated that the movie development has gone well, praising Lopez in a comment stating "I'm not kidding, this woman can really act. The last several years she's been doing romantic comedies – that's a talent, but as a dramatic actress she's got fantastic chops."[217] On May 16, 2012, Forbes placed Lopez first on their "Celebrity 100 List", in turn naming her the most powerful celebrity in the world for their 2012 edition. She beat out Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga for the title, having earned $US52 million from May 2011–May 2012.[218] Dorothy Pomerantz from Forbes staff said that it was due to her role as judge on American Idol, endorsement deals, fragrances and her much publicized personal life in the past year.[219] This was a considerable jump on the list, considering the previous year she was number 50.[189]
Products and endorsements[link]
In 2003, Lopez was in a pepsi commercial featuring Beyoncé Knowles and David Beckham entitled "Samurai".[220] She endorses several L'Oréal products, and was named "L'Oréal Paris Global Brand Ambassador" In December 2010.[221][222][223] She has shot several adds for the endorsement deal.[223] Lopez's recent L'Oreal EverSleek campaign made its debut during the Golden Globes ad break, kicking it off in a big way.[224] Products that Lopez has endorsed for L'Oreal recently include El Vive Triple Resist, True Match, Color Riche, GlamShine, and Voluminous Lashes commercials, the EverSleek commercial and print ads, and the Infallible Lip Color and ElVive Triple Resist print ads. In 2011, Lopez endorsed and promoted a variety of products. In addition to L'Oréal, lopez endorses Gillette women's products, such as the "Get Your Goddess Showing" project.[225] She was named the first ever "Gillette-Venus Global Ambassador" In 2011, too.[226][227] She recorded a cover of "Venus" by Shocking Blue for her Gillette-Venus advertisement.[228] Lopez is a spokesperson for Harmon Kardon home surround sound system.[229][230] Lopez is the face of TOUS Jewelry.[231][232] Lopez is a spokesperson for Lux shampoo in Japan, appearing in the product's television commercials. As of late 2011, she promotes FIAT cats in the United States.[233] Her advertisements for the brand have garnered negative reviews, and in January 2012 a United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) group told Lopez to end her endorsement for problems with the FIAT brand which "freely does business with a regime that is developing an illegal nuclear weapons program."[234]
Fashion lines[link]
Lopez launched a lifestyle brand in 2001. Called J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez, the line included different types of clothing for young women, including jeans, T-shirts, coats, belts, purses, and lingerie, a jewelry line,[235] and an accessory line that includes hats, gloves, and scarves.[236] Lopez participated in the Louis Vuitton Winter 2003 campaign. In February 2005, Lopez unveiled her fashion line entitled "Sweetface" at New York Fashion Week.[237] She worked on the line with Andy Hilfiger.[238] The launch at New York Fashion Week received mixed reviews, mainly positive, Metanoya Webb, from InStyle Magazine reviewed: "It's a step up from her teen-age, pop line. It's definitely more mature, and it's more of a replica of what Jennifer does. It was a reflection of her, and I liked that."[237] Some also noted that the launch of "Sweetface" focused more on the show and arrangement rather than the clothes, themselves.[239] Lopez has a lingerie line with Victoria Beckham.[240]
Lopez's frequent use of animal fur in her clothing lines has brought the scorn of people concerned with animal rights.[241] At the Los Angeles premiere of Monster-in-Law, more than 100 protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) held a demonstration to highlight their concerns.[242] Director of marketing, Charlie Ross said "Jennifer Lopez is a great lover of fur. She is always photographed wearing fur and it was a material she loves and wanted to use. Sweetface is a luxury label and Jennifer wanted her furs. She told me her favourite piece in the collection is a fabulous bleached silver fox coat with strips of the fox stitched onto a chiffon back."[243]
In late 2007, Lopez retired JLO by Jennifer Lopez and launched a new juniors' line called JustSweet.[244] In June 2009, it was announced that "Sweetface" was put on hiatus,[245] and later announced that it was closed down.[246] In 2011, Lopez and her ex-husband, Marc Anthony launched a joint fashion line at Kohls; Anthony would work on the menswear and Lopez on the female clothing line. The lines were described as "high-quality contemporary."[238] Lopez labelled her personal line as "affordable and completely her style." The line was released in October 2011.[247][248] Anthony's line, too was released around the same time.[249] They both worked with Tommy Hilfiger for the fashion lines.[238] Anthony, at the grand opening of the line at a Jersey department store, said that they collaborated on the work, and noted how hard Lopez had worked on her line, he said he was "very proud of her."[250]
Fragrances[link]
Lopez is credited for bringing back celebrity perfume endorsements, which was "dead" since the late 1980s.[197] She ventured in the perfume industry with her debut Glow by J.Lo, which can be purchased anywhere including every-day shopping outlets like Macy's and pharmacy chains.[251] Lopez said that she wanted Glow to be "Sexy and sensual."[252] Glow by J.Lo has a scent of orange, grapefruit, jasmine, orris, Irises, vanilla and musk.[253] Still by Jennifer Lopez was released as the third major fragrance in October 2003;[254] it is described as "the scent of a woman," and "A scent that captures the way a woman feels when she has discovered herself.

In 2008, she released Deseo, Deseo Forever, Deseo for Men (her first male fragrance) and Live Platinum.[257] Sunkissed Glow and My Glow were released in 2009, My Glow was inspired by the birth of her children.[257] TLC, a division of Discovery Communications Inc, had signed Lopez to an unscripted reality series about the launching of her new fragrance,[258] but the series never materialized.

Lopez grew up with a heavy influence and love of music from her mother, who played records and sang constantly.[24] During her early days in the music industry, she was viewed as a teen pop culture icon; despite being in her late-twenties, it was for the reasoning of her brand and music appealing to a younger generation.[282] Lopez's music and the genre which it has been perceived as, has ranged from pop and Latin pop,[283] to Dance, Funk and R&B.[284] She has stated that the basis for her music is always the subject of Love, "I've been singing about Love since my first album. Its a really complex topic, and now that im at a really good place in my life, in a really good relationship [...] i can look at it in a different way."[285] In her debut single, "If You Had My Love" Lopez confronts her lover with questions and ground rules before they can begin commit to a relationship.[281] The lead single from her sophomore album J.Lo (2001) "Love Don't Cost a Thing" is the tale of a materialistic relationship—critics have questioned the song, believing that it's inspiration came from her high-profiled relationship with rapper Sean Combs. Lopez's third studio album, is more adult-oriented R&B and was much of its lyrical themes speak of her love for her then-fiance Ben Affleck. During the production of the album, Lopez stated "I wrote a lot of songs inspired, in a way, by what I was going through at the time that this album was being made, and he [Affleck] was definitely a big part of that."[286] Songs from the album such as "Baby I Love U! and "Dear Ben" gush about her being a hopeless romantic.[281] "I, Love" from Rebirth (2005) is a mid-tempo song, in which Lopez wants to convince her lover that she truly cares for him, suggesting that their romance is real despite his ignorant behavior. The title track from her full-Spanish language album Como Ama una Mujer (2007) lyrically speaks about listening to the heart's desire and first instinct regardless of the relationship's outcome.[281] In her seventh studio album, entitled Love?, Lopez covers topics such as her past loves in her songs, "One Love" and "(What Is) Love?" which she goes into details through lyrics about her remaining an optimistic about love.[287] In "(What Is) Love?" Lopez sings about struggling in the search for true love, talking about how she's had blind dates, dated church boys and musicians but is tired of it all.[281]
Lopez has a classic soubrette vocal type; her voice has been called limited.[288][289] Many critics have said that Lopez has never had a strong voice, but observe that she is the complete package performer with a thin voice.[290] Lopez has always had an insecurity about the strength of her voice from the start, “The voice was always there, I was just so insecure about it in the beginning," she said in an interview.[291] She has also said that "I’m very proud of who I am as a vocalist from where I started."[291] Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly noted that she has always had her "way" with hooks, and works with a variety of producers.[292] Lopez has received critiscm for her voice not being strong enough over the course of her music career. Adam Markovitz from Entertainment Weekly has said that "despite the star power she emits on screen, her vocals have always been less than stellar" and that she "often sounds limited and nasal, with a flatness that can feel downright Rebecca Black-esque at its worst."[293] Wheresoever, others have said differently; fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson said that "She doesn't have the biggest voice in the world, but she can sing. It's the (complete) package [...]"[294] Jackson also said "While we're sitting there judging she's always singing these songs and I go, 'You really do sing!'"[295] Daniel Chang from The Spectator said "Lopez will achieve more success as an actress than she will as a singer. Which is to say, Lopez can sing, but there are better introductions to Latin and R&B music out there."[296]
In late 2007, The York Press wrote "So far into her career, Lopez is at last making great records. Her voice now has greater depth and is infused with Latin passion, which frankly was missing on her earlier records. Her material is also far stronger," around the releases of Como Ama Una Mujer and Brave.[132] The York Press also complimented Lopez for not needing as much "digital enhancement" on her voice compared to Britney Spears.[132] They also said that "Lopez stunned many with [...] Como Ama una Mujer, which at last proved that she is a major musical force."[132] A writer from The Sun said "'On the 6' makes it clear she can sing. [Jennifer] Lopez has no trouble handling the material presented to her [...] No doubt about it, as a singer, Lopez has a lot of talent and stylistic range. Instead, she ends up doing impressions, singing as other, more distinctive, performers might have. So when producer Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs fabricates a lush, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-type groove, she responds by offering her best Janet Jackson imitation." He went on to say: "It isn't as if Lopez is merely a chameleon, without a sound to call her own. Her breathily romantic duet with Marc Anthony, the Spanish-language love song "No Me Ames," reveals depths and resonance unheard in other tracks. Likewise, there's a sassy confidence beneath the romantic dismissal of "It's Not That Serious" that suggests Lopez may yet attain the awesome power of diva-hood."[297] Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly commented on Lopez's vocals saying, "There's no way to know if Jennifer Lopez's voice is mechanically altered or not, but on the recorded evidence of her sophomore album, J.Lo, her singing seems to be in key".[298] In a review of her seventh studio album, Love?, Alex Macpherson from BBC Music complimented Lopez, "(She) possesses both a lightness of touch and the effortless confidence of one of nature's own divas, which means that whenever she hits the floor to essay up-tempo swagger tracks she convinces without being as overbearing. Love? seeks to showcase her vulnerability and depth of feeling."[299]

From a musical perspective, Lopez has viewed Madonna as a big influence.[300] In an interview with NY Rock, when asked who was her first biggest musical influence, Lopez stated "I think Madonna. For my era growing up, [she] was the quintessential performer, and a push-the-envelope type of person. I don't think that I'm a push-the-envelope type of person. But I think Madonna was so visionary. And in her shows, she was so expressive. So that was very inspiring for me as a young girl. I remember seeing a lot of her shows."[301] According to Fouz-Hernández, female pop performers like Lopez were like "Madonna's daughters in the very direct sense that they grew up listening to and admiring Madonna, and decided they wanted to be like her."[302] Other musical influences for Lopez include Selena,[303] Janet Jackson,[304] Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton, Gloria Estefan, Deborah Gibson, Paula Abdul, Spice Girls and Salt-N-Pepa.[305] Lopez has credited Barbra Streisand as her idol, saying that she felt that she "graduated" from music when she sang Streisand's music.[306] Pop music critic Gene Stout commented that Janet Jackson in particular has influenced a younger generation of performers including Lopez.[307] Lopez has also stated that newer artists have also more "inspired" her rather than influenced her as an artist, such as Lady GaGa. Lopez told MTV News that "I'm always motivated by other artists and inspired by them. They inspire me because when i see other people doing great things, it makes me want to do great things too. I never am one to look at other people and try to do what they do. I always feel like a true artist does what they do and it is very very individual to who they are. I love her [Gaga] sense of lyric and melody, I feel like she’s very interesting. It’s just not something you’re gonna hear everyday. I really love the records she worked on and was glad to be able to take those and make them my own and actually have that collaboration with her. I feel very lucky to have done that."[308] After motherhood, Lopez also credited her twins as a huge influence in the direction of her music, "You can't help but put not only your kids into it, but to put anything you are going through in your music. That's the only thing you can really sing or write is stuff that you know. The more music you make and the more that you get into it and the more you write, the more you realize that's all you can write."[287] Lopez has credited former husband Marc Anthony for giving her confidence to sing, stating in a 2012 interview with Vogue Magazine "He always told me what a beautiful voice I have [sic] He was like, ‘It’s in there; you just gotta let it out. It’s a confidence thing with you.’ Then all of a sudden one day I was like, ‘I’m good at this!’"[309]

Lopez is well known for her upbeat pop songs and Latin-pop influenced dancing abilities. She is professionally trained dancer[310]—initially beginning her career as a dancer ("fly girl") on In Living Color from 1991 to 1993, before venturing into acting and later a recording career.[311] She began to learn and master different dance techniques from self-paid dance classes, and became a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson.[311] When she was a child, she specialized in ballet, jazz and flamenco dancing.[312] She has worked with well known choreographers Dave Scott, Cris Judd (her former husband), Brian Friedman, Wade Robson, Tyce Diorio, Travis Payne, Jeri Slaughter, Laurie Ann Gibson, Mia Michaels and Tina Landon.[313] Top 10.com ranked Lopez 5th on their "Top 10 All Time Best Dancers in the World" list, placing her ahead of Gene Kelly, Janet Jackson and M.C. Hammer, describing her as both a glamour queen and a terrific dancer.[314] In her 2004 film Shall We Dance in which she starred opposite Richard Gere, Lopez and Gere danced many genres, including Salsa dance and Ballroom dance.[312][315] In the film, her dance technique received praise.[316]
Lopez's music videos are well known for having dance breaks, including her music videos for "If You Had My Love" (1999) and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" (2000)—she brought back dance breaks in her later music videos for "I'm Into You" and "Papi" (2011).[317] Her debut music video, for "If You Had My Love" directed by Paul Hunter, is notable for its theme of voyeurism; Lopez sings and dances while others watch her from various other locations through different types of screens. The video also includes her "signature" dance break.[318] Her third single Waiting For Tonight's music video is set at a party counting down to The New Year (in this case, being 1999, a "millennium party"), the song's success on the charts was due to the video's anticipated theme towards the year 2000.[319] Lopez's music video for "I'm Glad" (from her third studio album This Is Me...Then) was described as one of he more "complicated" videos which recreated scenes from a 1983 film Flashdance.[320] In the music video for "Get Right" (2005) directed by Francis Lawrence, Lopez sports several different characters including a bartender, stripper, nerdy girl and a superstar among several others all at a nightclub.[321] The video for her comeback single, "On the Floor" (2011) was praised for its sex appeal which was compared to her music video for "I'm Gonna Be Alright" (2002).[322] Matthew Perpetua from Rolling Stone said it was "classic Lopez tweaked for 2011" with upgraded dance-pop style, and a high fashion wardrobe as eccentric as that of Rihanna and Lady Gaga.[323] The music video for "On The Floor" allowed Lopez to enter social media charts[324] and Entertainment Weekly's Tanner Stransky said that the clip brought back the old Lopez that everyone knew and loved, and also added that it was "Sexy and sultry".[325] Her follow up video, "I'm Into You" was praised, Kyle Anderson from Entertainment Weekly applauded her natural beauty and said "that time-out at the three-quarters mark is as sharp as any diva dance break you’ll see."[326] In her music video for "Papi", Lopez consumes a chocolate chip cookie which will allow her "love" to come back, given to her by her apartment mail attendant; she takes too large a bite, resulting in the magic of the cookie to become effective—groups of men chase her around town until her true love finds her.[327] The video received positive feedback, a writer from Huffington Post wrote "Ms. Lopez has still got it —'Jenny from the Block' breaks into a signature group dance number and kills it!"[328] After the release of the video for her single "Dance Again" which featured Lopez's real-life boyfriend, Casper Smart, John Mitchell from MTV News looked back on Lopez's previous videos, saying that she had a "history" of flaunting her men in videos.[329]
Lopez has been nominated for a total of 18 MTV Video Music Awards, winning two throughout her career. She was ranked at number twenty-one on VH1's "50 Greatest Women of the Video Era" list.[330] Throughout her music videos, she has worked with several directors and choreographers, including working with Paul Hunter, Francis Lawrence and Dave Meyers several times.[331][321][332] She is considered a sex symbol through her music videos.[333] Jennifer Lopez considers Janet Jackson a big influence on her dancing and music videos. She has lauded Jackson's videography, stating her music videos "had such an impact on me as a fan but also as an artist."[334] Lopez has named Jackson's music video for "The Pleasure Principle" as her favorite dancing music video of all time.[335]
Legacy[link]
Lopez has been described has having "epitomized the definition of America's sweetheart," having crept into millions of homes with her music, movies, accessories and clothing lines.[312] Her manager, Benny Medina, who Lopez said is her "creative soulmate"[336] has described Lopez as "the best all-rounded entertainer of our generation."[337] Patricia J. Duncan wrote of Lopez in her 1999 Unauthorized biography, calling her a "force to be reckoned with." Ray Martin from 60 Minutes said "She's a rarity," calling one of the "few Hollywood stars you can actually admire [...] when you meet her she's just as gorgeous, just as likeable, as she is on screen." Martin also said that Lopez is "up there with Madonna," having starred in movies alongside leading men like George Clooney, Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson adding that she is a merchandising marvel, too.[338]
Lopez is well-known for being the first Latina actress or singer to be so commercially successful in the limelight; growing up she looked up to puerto-rican born Rita Moreno, as she stated that there were "Zero Latinos on TV, so Rita Moreno was the only one I identified to."[24] Nobel prize recipient, Jose Ramos Horta called Lopez a remarkable women and true inspiration after seing her work on the film, Bordertown.[339] Cindy Pearlman from The Record said that Lopez is responsible for welcoming a "Latina presence to a film industry" as for most of its history it had been a whites-only preserve.[340] In his book, Icons of American Popular Culture, Robert C. Cotrell described Jennifer Lopez as being a Latina Oprah Winfrey, writing that Lopez was the embodiment of the American dream, by "Boasting far more authentic rags-to-riches tale". Cotrell also called her a "multidimensional artist who had turned into a financial powerhouse." He continued on to say the impact she had on both Hollywood and the Spanish world, "In a largely singular fashion, Lopez had demonstrated that a Latina could remain on the Hollywood "A" list, to be a top recording artist, and operate as a major player in the corporate world, with her prefumes alone pulling over $500 million annually."[339] The head of Interscope Records who appears on American Idol, Jimmy Iovine said Lopez has "got that power. She is a force. She brings the whole package—there is very little missing in Jennifer Lopez."[336]
Lopez has had much praise over the course of her career, with several citing her as an inspiration for their own careers. Fellow Latin music artist Kat DeLuna, who is relatively new, said "Jennifer helped pave the way for Latinas like myself. I love her."[341] Actress Kerry Washington also cites Lopez as the actual reason for her career, during an interview with Essence in 2012, she said "I grew up blocks away from Jennifer Lopez. She and I went to the same Boys & Girls Club. She was like the dancer who made it big and moved to Hollywood. I don't know if I would've taken a risk in my career if it weren't for you (Jennifer)."[342] Popstar Britney Spears says Lopez has become a major "beauty" icon and Idol for herself; Spears said "Jennifer Lopez is my idol – she's so beautiful and even though she's gotten older, she hasn't aged at all. She looks more amazing than ever and I really admire and respect that."[343] Kelly Osbourne said that she admires Lopez, stating that "Jennifer Lopez was voted The Most Beautiful Woman in the World by People magazine. I couldn't agree more. I've met her and she's stunning."[344][345]
Co-star and singer Cheryl Cole has stated that she wants to have a body like Jennifer Lopez.[346] In fact, Lopez's body has had such an impact on the world (in particularly women) that in a 2011 survey by "Nutrisystem Diet Index", it was proved that most American women would have Lopez's "lean legs and bubble butt".[347][348] Reality Television star Kim Kardashian has named Lopez a style icon,[349] Kardashian branded Lopez's personal fashion sense/style as "fun and flirty and sexy, just feminine. I love her!", and said she is a major style inspiration for her.[349] Raquel Castro, her co-star from Jersey Girl (Now 17 years old and was a contestant on American singing show The Voice), had stated she had a strong bond with her on-screen mother from the film, and that Lopez had been her main role model for her career from the start;[350] "Jennifer Lopez has been my role model from the start. I wore out my VCR tape of the movie Selena, probably watching it a million times; when I found out I had been chosen to play her daughter in a feature-film, OMG I was screaming like crazy."[350] Australian R&B singer Jessica Mauboy has said stated that she is a big fan of Lopez.[351] Singer-songwriter Michael Doughty said that Lopez was a key inspiration for reviving his music career as a solo artist after leaving his band, Soul Coughing "One of the key moments was seeing a Jennifer Lopez video (around 1999) [...] She's a year older than me and she's in this video and she's in the Bronx and going out clubbing and going to the beauty salon. I'd thought, well I'm 29, my life's over, I'm elderly. And I looked at her and thought, she's 30, how is she walking? [...] the revelation came watching a Jennifer Lopez video."[352] Nicki Minaj has stated "I love J-Lo. I love what she's done for pop culture I have nothing but respect for her."[353] Actress Anna Kendrick who was her co-star in the film What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012), has described her as "the most beautiful creature on the planet" and said that "The way she looks in person is mind-blowing."[354]
Lopez also is well known for her fashion sense and style. Us Weekly named Lopez as Style Icon of the 2000–2010 decade.[355] Lopez's most memorable Fashion moment in her career was the Green Versace "Jungle Dress" that she wore at the 42nd Grammy Awards In 2000.[356] A poll by Debenhams, published in the Daily Telegraph, voted it the fifth most iconic dress of all time.[14] It has been cited along with the Elizabeth Hurley's black Versace dress as being the top dresses that made Versace a household name and the turning point in designer Donatella Versace's career after the death of her brother Gianni Versace. The dress is currently on display at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. For her Fashion sense, Lopez has earned several awards including a VH1 Award and Vogue Fashion Award in 1999 for "Most Fashionable Female Artist", achieving multiple other awards since for outstanding achievements and recognition. Lopez was complimented in an article for Elle, in which the author wrote – "She wears little visible makeup, and with her hair in a bun, huge hoop earrings, and a long halterdress on, she's squarely in casual-mother mode, a style Diane von Furstenberg describes as "exotic and earthy."[357] Lopez cites Urban, Edgy Bronx style as a contribution to her continuing fashion style.[358] Lopez says she is a fan of "Glamour" and "Old Hollywood Movie Stars" as a fashion sense.[359] Aside from her fashion sense in clothes, Lopez has changed her personal appearance multiple times, scoring several different hairstyles over the years.[360] Lopez's two-piece (eventually stripped down to a body-suit) "train dress highlighting her curves and flawless skin"[361] at the 2011 American Music Awards was both welcomed and praised but was received mixed and negatively, too.[362][363] Despite popularity and favoritism with her outfits, Lopez has also received negativity; the dress she wore in 2011 to the BAFTA Gala gave her the title of "Worst Dressed" of the evening along with others, most likely due to her open-abs section.[364] Apart from her image as a public fashion icon, Lopez has constantly displayed disappointment in a continuing rumor that states she is a demanding "diva",[365][366][367] however at the same time is considered a talented "diva" too.[368] Several others such as her 'American Idol co-worker Nigel Lythgoe has stated these rumors are wrong. The popularity of her personal life in the media has been a focus too, Jacqueline Springer reported in 2001, "'bling bling' to the fullest, she is high fashion's sole voluptuous mannequin and to the tabloids, well, she's more return value that an annual Travelcard."[369]
Lopez is the wealthiest Hispanic in Hollywood, and is described as the most influential Hispanic performer in the United States.[339] As of 2010, Lopez has sold an estimated 55 million records worldwide, making her one of the best selling musical artists of all time.[370] In addition to this, Billboard ranked her as the 27th Artist of the 2000–2010 decade.[4] VH1 ranked her 16 on their list of "100 Greatest Women In Music" In 2012.[371] In November 1998, Lopez was named "Sexiest Woman of the Year" by Details magazine.[372] Lopez appeared on FHM's 100 sexiest women list multiple times, notably being listed as No. 1 in 2000 and 2001, No. 4 in 2002, No. 6 in 2003, No. 7 in 2004. She is the first woman to top the list for two consecutive years.[373] In People en Español's list of "100 Most Influential Hispanics" addition in February 2007, Lopez was listed first; the Top 100 also included the likes of Shakira and Enrique Iglesias.[7] On The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Actress Salary List, Lopez has appeared in 2004, 2003 and 2002.[10] She is the only Latina actress to accomplish this, or even appear within the top ten of this list.[10] Her role in the 1998 film Out of Sight earned her a paycheck of over $1 million, making her the world's highest-paid Latin actress.[50] In 2001, Lopez became the first female to have a film and album both be number one at the same time in the United States.[23][69][71] In 2011, she was named "World's Most Beautiful Woman" by People's Choice magazine.[374]

Leonard Albert "Lenny" Kravitz (born May 26, 1964) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actor and arranger, whose “retro” style incorporates elements of rock, soul, R&B, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, folk and ballads. In addition to singing lead and backing vocals, Kravitz often plays all the guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and percussion himself when recording. He is known for his elaborate stage performances and music videos.
He won the Grammy Award for "Best Male Rock Vocal Performance" four years in a row from 1999 to 2002, breaking the record for most wins in that category and most consecutive wins in one category for a male. He has been nominated for and won other awards, including American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Radio Music Awards, BRIT Awards and Blockbuster Entertainment Awards. On December 1, 2011, Kravitz was made an Officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He played the role of Cinna in the film The Hunger Games.

Early life[link]
Kravitz was born in New York City on May 26, 1964. He is the son of Roxie Roker, an actress known for her character Helen Willis in the 1970s hit television sitcom The Jeffersons, and Sy Kravitz, an NBC television news producer. His father was Jewish (from a family with origins in Russia); his mother was of Bahamian and African-American descent, and was from a Christian family.[1][2] Kravitz was named after his uncle, Private First Class Leonard Kravitz, who was killed in action in the Korean War at age 20 while defending against a Chinese attack and saving most of his platoon; he was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.[3] Kravitz grew up spending weekdays on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his parents, attending P.S.6 for elementary school, and weekends at his grandmother Bessie Roker's house in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Kravitz began banging on pots and pans in the kitchen, playing them as drums at the age of three. At the age of five, he wanted to be a musician. He began playing the drums and soon added guitar. Kravitz grew up listening to the music his parents listened to: R&B, jazz, classical, opera, gospel, and blues. "My parents were very supportive of the fact that I loved music early on, and they took me to a lot of shows," Kravitz said.[4] Around the age of seven, he saw The Jackson 5 perform at Madison Square Garden, which became his favorite group.[5] His father, who was also a jazz promoter, was friends with Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, Miles Davis and other jazz greats. Ellington even played "Happy Birthday" for him one year when he was about 5.[6] He was exposed to the soul music of Motown, Stax, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Gladys Knight, The Isley Brothers and Gamble and Huff growing up who were key influences on his musical style. Kravitz often went to see New York theater, where his mother worked. His mother encouraged his dreams of pursuing music.
In 1974, the Kravitz family relocated to Los Angeles when Kravitz's mother landed her role on The Jeffersons. At his mother's urging, Kravitz joined the California Boys Choir for three years, where he performed a classical repertoire, and sang with the Metropolitan Opera. He took part in Mahler's Third Symphony at the Hollywood Bowl. It was in Los Angeles that Kravitz was first introduced to rock music, listening to Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Cream, and The Who.[5] "I was attracted to the cool style, the girls, the rock 'n' roll lifestyle," Kravitz said.[5] Kravitz's other musical influences at the time included Fela Kuti, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye and Miles Davis;[5] John Lennon and Bob Marley proved later to be influential as well. Kravitz attended Beverly Hills High School. Maria McKee and actor Nicolas Cage were his classmates. In 1978, Kravitz was accepted into the school's well-respected music program. He taught himself to play piano and bass, and made friends with Zoro who would later become his long-time collaborator.[7] Kravitz wanted to be a session musician. He also appeared as an actor in television commercials during this time.
Career[link]
1989–1990: Sexload Records and the career debut[link]
With record labels still telling him his music wasn't "black enough" or "white enough," Kravitz decided to record an album on his own. Kravitz had met recording engineer/keyboardist/bassist Henry Hirsch in 1985 when recording a demo at his Hoboken, New Jersey recording studio. The two shared an interest in using real instruments and vintage recording equipment, as well as a love of R&B, jazz, and rock. Kravitz would go on to collaborate with Hirsch on most of his albums. Kravitz began working on his debut album with Hirsch over the next year and a half, with Kravitz's father paying for the studio time. Kravitz met saxophonist Karl Denson and invited him to play on the song, "Let Love Rule." Kravitz was so impressed with his playing that Denson played on much of the album. Denson toured with Kravitz for the next five years. In October 1988, after completing most of the recording, Kravitz approached friend Stephen Elvis Smith who had served as the Music Supervisor on Lisa Bonet's spin-off of The Cosby Show, "A Different World." Smith had also worked with Kravitz' mother Roxie Roker, on the hit sitcom "The Jeffersons." Kravitz urged Smith to manage his career and assist him in finding a record deal. In less than a month of shopping the recordings, five labels (Warner Bros, Elektra, Geffen, Capitol and Virgin) were in a bidding war for Kravitz. Eventually a deal was made with Virgin Records in January 1989, and signed by Virgin A & R executive Nancy Jeffries. The label was excited about the music he was making, music inspired by his relationship with wife Bonet and their new daughter, Zoe. On Smith's urging, Kravitz dropped the name Romeo Blue and reclaimed the Lenny Kravitz moniker. About his time as Romeo Blue, Kravitz said, "Ultimately, it got me back to myself. And when I finally did accept myself for myself, music started flowing out of me."[4]
Kravitz released his debut album Let Love Rule on September 6, 1989, a combination of rock and funk with a general 1960s vibe. Music critics were mixed: some felt Kravitz was a gifted new artist, others felt he was overpowered by his musical influences. The album was a moderate success in the United States, but became an instant hit outside of the US, especially in Europe. Lisa Bonet directed the debut music video for the title track, "Let Love Rule." Stephen Smith signed Kravitz with talent booking agency CAA, who soon were fielding offers for Kravitz, first on a club tour, and then in opening slots for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bob Dylan and David Bowie. Having played essentially all of the instruments on the album, Kravitz had to quickly assemble a touring band to support the Let Love Rule release. They included a childhood friend, Zoro on drums (formerly of Bobby Brown's band), Adam Widoff (guitar), Lebron Scott (bass guitar, recruited out of Curtis Mayfield's band after seeing them perform in a NYC club), Kenneth Crouch (keyboards) and Karl Denson on saxophone.
In May 2009, a 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of "Let Love Rule" was released worldwide by Virgin. The double disk includes a booklet with rare photos, and 18 additional demos, bonus tracks and live recordings. Kravitz launched a LLR(20) tour of Europe and the United States in support of the re-release.
1991–2001: Popularity established[link]
In 1990, Kravitz co-wrote with Ingrid Chavez and produced the song "Justify My Love" for Madonna. The song, which appeared on her greatest hits album The Immaculate Collection and created controversy because of its explicit video, went to #1 for two consecutive weeks. When MTV banned the video, the video was quickly made available for sale at record stores, and immediately sold over 500,000 copies. Kravitz separated from Lisa Bonet in 1991,[8] amid rumors of an affair between him and Madonna. Kravitz has denied any infidelity.[8] Kravitz and Bonet divorced in 1993.
In 1991, Kravitz produced the self-titled album Vanessa Paradis for French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis. He played most of the instruments and co-wrote most of the songs on the album. He also released his second album, Mama Said, which was his first album to reach the Top 40. The songs on the album were about Bonet and dedicated to her, documenting his depression over their breakup.[6] Kravitz's biggest single yet, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over," went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single "Always on the Run," a tribute to his mother,[6] featured Slash on guitar. "Stand By My Woman" and "What Goes Around Comes Around" followed. Sean Lennon co-wrote and played piano on the song, "All I Ever Wanted". In 2001, Kravitz participated in a benefit auction for the Red Hot Organization, in conjunction with Amazon.com to increase public AIDS awareness, which ran from February 28 until April 11, 2001. The event featured rare RHO memorabilia and the work of Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger.
In 1993, Kravitz wrote "Line Up" for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and appeared on Mick Jagger's solo album, Wandering Spirit, in a cover of the Bill Withers' soul classic, "Use Me," and played guitar on the title track of David Bowie's The Buddha of Suburbia. That year Kravitz also got to work with idols Al Green and Curtis Mayfield.
In 1993, Are You Gonna Go My Way was released, reaching #12 on the Billboard 200 and Kravitz earned a BRIT Award for best international male artist in 1994. The title track won a MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video for the video produced by Mark Romanek, in which Kravitz slung his dreadlocks and wore high-heeled platform boots. During the presentation of the MTV Video Music Awards, he performed the song with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin on bass. Several singles from the album would follow including, "Believe," "Is There Any Love In Your Heart," and "Heaven Help/Spinning Around Over You." This album was the first to feature guitarist Craig Ross, who has also played on all his subsequent albums.[9] One song, "Eleutheria," was influenced by the island Eleuthera in The Bahamas where Kravitz built a house and recording studio at that time.[6] In 1993, he also released the EP, Spinning Around Over You, which included four live tracks from his "Universal Love Tour." A feature documentary about his 1994 tour entitled "Alive From Planet Earth" was directed by Doug Nichol and released.
In 1994, Kravitz recorded a funk-rock version of the song "Deuce," for the KISS cover album KISS My Ass: Classic KISS Regrooved. The track featured Stevie Wonder on harmonica and background vocals. This song was one of three radio singles from the album, and was also the album's lead-off track.
Roxie Roker, Kravitz's mother, died in California on December 2, 1995 of breast cancer at the age of 66.
In 1995, Lenny Kravitz released the album Circus, which went to number 10 on the Billboard chart on the back of his past achievement. However, the album only had two hit singles: "Rock and Roll Is Dead" and "Can't Get You Off My Mind."
With 5 (1998), Kravitz embraced digital technology such as Pro Tools and samplers for the first time. 5 introduced his music to an even wider audience thanks to the hit single "Fly Away" being featured prominently in both car manufacturer and airline commercials. 5 would reach #28 on the Billboard 200, with "Fly Away" reaching #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in the United Kingdom. He would win the first of his four consecutive Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards of 1999. Other hits from the album included "If You Can't Say No", that was also remixed by dance producer Brian Transeau, and "I Belong to You." For the I Belong to You video Lenny can be seen without his signature dreadlocks. In 1999 he produced and sang with Cree Summer on her solo album Street Faerie.
His cover version of The Guess Who's hit "American Woman" won him another Grammy at the Grammy Awards of 2000 and helped The Guess Who's song reach a new audience. Kravitz's version of the song originally came from the soundtrack of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and was added to 5 as a bonus track in 1999.
Lenny worked on two songs for Michael Jackson's Invincible album released in 2001; a snippet of "Another Day" has leaked, and the full version was officially released on the album Michael in 2010 .[10]
Kravitz released a Greatest Hits album in 2000. It proved to be his most successful album, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 and selling nearly 11 million copies worldwide and ultimately becoming one of the most commercially successful albums of the decade. The single "Again" earned him his third consecutive Grammy for the Best Male Rock Vocal in the Grammy Awards of 2001 and peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Kravitz also co-wrote the song "God Gave Me Everything" with Mick Jagger in this period, appearing on Jagger's 2001 solo album Goddess in the Doorway and in the film Being Mick.

Kravitz released his sixth album Lenny in October 2001. The album was recorded in Miami. Kravitz wrote the song "Bank Robber Man" after the Miami Police Department detained and cuffed him while walking to the gym with his trainer because police stated that he matched the description of a bank robber. Kravitz did not have any identification with him at the time and the police on the scene did not believe that he was indeed Lenny Kravitz. The bank teller who was robbed was then brought to the scene and said Kravitz was not the bank robber. Miami Police later sent officers to Kravitz's home to apologize for the detention. When asked if he thought the incident was a case of racial profiling, Kravitz said he wasn’t sure although some of the lyrics in the song suggest otherwise. The first single from the album, "Dig In", went to number 1 in Argentina and the top 10 in Italy and Portugal. The video for "Dig In" was originally supposed to be shot at the top of the Empire State Building on September 12, 2001 but the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 caused the location to be moved. The video was later shot off the coast Miami. He won his fourth Grammy in 2002. "Stillness of Heart", "Believe in Me", and "If I Could Fall In Love" were subsequent singles from the album.
Kravitz was the subject of a photo book by former chief photographer for Rolling Stone, Mark Seliger. Published in November 2001, Seliger captures Kravitz on tour, with family, with friends and in posed portraits.
Jay-Z invited Kravitz to appear on the track "Guns and Roses" on his 2002 The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse. Kravitz would also join P. Diddy, Pharrell and Loon on the track "Show Me Your Soul" from the Bad Boys II Soundtrack.
In September 2002, Kravitz appeared alongside other rock stars in the episode "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation" of The Simpsons. In early 2003, Kravitz released the track "We Want Peace" as a download-only track as a protest against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he performed this alongside famous Iraqi singer Kazem Al Saher at Rock The Vote. The track reached #1 on the world internet download charts and MP3.com download chart. Kravitz also appeared on Unity, the official album of the 2004 Athens Olympics, and performed a cover of "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" on the album Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
In late 2004, Kravitz dated actress Nicole Kidman and reportedly dedicated his hit song "Lady" to her. They split in 2005.
Kravitz's seventh album Baptism was released in May 2004. The first single was "Where Are We Runnin'?". The single "California" failed to be commercially successful, but "Storm", featuring Jay-Z, reached the charts. "Calling All Angels" was successful in various countries and a huge hit in Brazil, however it was "Lady" that became the album's surprise hit, making the US Top 30 and propelling Baptism to gold status. Also in 2004, he appeared on N.E.R.D's album Fly or Die. From March 2005, Kravitz toured all over the world with the tour Electric Church, which ended at the Brixton Academy, London in July 2005. Kravitz served as the opening act for Aerosmith who are long term friends of Kravitz on their fall 2005 tour. The tour began on October 30 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The night before that tour started, October 29, 2005, Lenny's father TV Producer Sy Kravitz died. During that first show, Lenny broke the news to the stunned crowd and stated it was not a time to be sad but rather a time to celebrate because he is now in Heaven. Lenny then dedicated Let Love Rule to his father. That tour was so successful that it was extended through February 25, 2006 and ended in Anaheim, California.
[edit] 2006–2009: Live Earth, charity work, and It Is Time for a Love Revolution
In January 2006, Kravitz contributed "Breathe" to absoluttracks, a project sponsored by Absolut Vodka. This song was re-mixed by ten musical producers and distributed via the internet.
Kravitz appeared in the audience of Madonna's Confessions Tour (2006) during numerous shows. He would later join Madonna live on stage to play guitar on the song, "I Love New York," at the last of four Paris shows.
Lately, Kravitz has founded a design firm named Kravitz Design, stating if he hadn't been a musician he would have been a designer. Kravitz Design, focused on interior and furniture design, has designed residential spaces, as well as a chandelier for the crystal company Swarovski, named "Casino Royale."[11]
On July 7, 2007, Kravitz performed at the Brazilian leg of Live Earth in Rio de Janeiro,[12] making him one of three major international rock stars to perform two huge free concerts at the world-famous Copacabana Beach along with Macy Gray and the Rolling Stones. Kravitz had already played there on March 21, 2005, drawing 300,000 people on a concert of his own. The Live Earth concert, with eight other acts on the bill, including Pharrell and Macy Gray, took 400,000 to the beach.

Kravitz performed at the Grey Cup halftime show in Toronto at the Rogers Centre on November 25, 2007, where the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23-19.[15]
The original video for "I'll Be Waiting" was shot in Central Park in New York City with Marc Webb directing but that video was later shelved and a new version, which Kravitz co-directed with Philip Andelman, was filmed in Lenny's New York City recording studio. The video premiered on VH1's Top 20 Countdown at number 3.
On January 17, 2008, Kravitz embarked on a 9 city mini-tour to promote his new album It Is Time for a Love Revolution. The tour started in Santa Monica, California and ended in New York City on February 1. The tour was done in association with Myspace and called the "Get on the Bus" tour. At each stop on the tour, they would pick up one contest winner and their guest and they rode on the "Love Revolution" bus until the end of the tour. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, a close friend of Lenny's would appear at The Orpheum Theater in Boston. The New York City winner, Tyrone Good was presented a train ticket from Penn Station to travel to Philadelphia and rode with the tour the rest of the way starting in Philadelphia (The Electric Factory), Boston (The Orpheum Theater), and finally New York City (The Hammerstein Ballroom). The winners were featured in the YRB February Edition alongside Lenny Kravitz in a magazine pull-out. The photo shoot took place at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia on stage. The winner's pull out was featured in another issue of YRB which had Lil' Wayne on the cover.
On February 11, 2008, Kravitz was admitted to Miami Hospital suffering from severe bronchitis. He had been suffering from a series of severe respiratory tract infections since mid-January, and the illness developed into bronchitis.
Kravitz's illness had forced him to postpone Canadian dates and his trip to Europe to promote his album It Is Time for a Love Revolution. On March 19, 2008 he canceled the South American part of his tour due to the same illness. The decision affected planned concerts in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. In Argentina Kravitz had a performance in the biggest rock festival there, Quilmes Rock Fest.[16]

During the Italian leg of his 53 date Let Love Rule (20)09 European tour, Kravitz had been instructed to cancel some shows due to a bad bout of bronchitis. Under strict orders from his doctor, the singer was told to rest so that he could make a quick recovery and return to the stage for the rest of his tour. Shows scheduled for Rome on June 5 and Brescia on June 6 were postponed to late July.
[edit] 2009–present: U2 tour and Black and White America
Kravitz's next album, tentatively titled Funk, was tentatively re-titled Negrophilia and was due out sometime in 2010. This is believed to be a project that Kravitz has been working on since 1997. Some of the original tracks for Funk were recorded while he was in New Orleans at Allen Toussaint's studio while taking a break for several months from recording in New York City. A video on Kravitz's Twitter page shows him working on one of the songs for the album, called "Super Love", in his GTS studios in the Bahamas. Another video shows him working on another track titled "Life Ain't Never Been Better Than It Is Now" in his GTS Studios. On his Twitter page, Kravitz said that the album title was Negrophilia but then "felt like something else". Eventually the album was later named Black and White America. The album was released on August 22, 2011 in Europe and August 30, 2011 in the U.S.[dated info] On February 20, 2011 the first single "Come on Get It" was released. On June 6, 2011 the second single "Stand" was released.
It was announced that Kravitz would be supporting U2 on their highly successful 360 Tour on the second North American leg in 2010. Kravitz agreed to support them for four shows. Though the shows were postponed until 2011, Kravitz remains committed for four of the shows.[dated info]

On December 1, 2011, Kravitz was honored with one of the highest cultural awards in France when he was made an Officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by French cultural minister Frederic Mitterrand in Paris. Kravitz stated he was "particularly touched" to receive the award in France as his success in the country pre-dated his success in the United States and still enjoys great record sales in the country today.[22] Kravitz joins other American recipients such as Martin Scorsese, George Clooney, and Bob Dylan.
On February 26, 2012, he performed at the Daytona International Speedway (several songs carried live on Fox) for the Daytona 500, the opening race of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.

In 1985, Kravitz's parents divorced, which had a profound impact on him. His relationship with his father became extremely strained. Kravitz focused on his music to help him get through this period. That year, Kravitz met actress Lisa Bonet backstage at a New Edition concert. Bonet worked on The Cosby Show, the number one rated show on television. They were close friends for two years before falling in love. Kravitz moved back to New York City where The Cosby Show was produced in 1987, moving in with then girlfriend Bonet. Kravitz and Bonet eloped to be married on November 16, 1987, her 20th birthday, in a Las Vegas ceremony. Kravitz, still known as Romeo Blue at the time, suddenly found himself in the headlines of tabloid newspapers. They had a daughter, Zoë Isabella Kravitz, born on December 1, 1988.[24] Kravitz and Bonet divorced in 1993.[citation needed] In 2002, Adriana Lima claimed she was engaged to Kravitz sporting a diamond ring, although he denied that.[25]
Kravitz identifies himself as a Christian, "through choice but I'm also a Jew, it's all the same to me".[26] During another interview Kravitz stated, "I'm half Jewish, I'm half black, I look in-between."[27] He also notes that spirituality "has been an important issue in my growth", given his upbringing by parents of different faiths.[28] Such spirituality is prominently featured on many of his songs, such as the lyrics on his album Baptism, and having his back inscribed with a tattoo stating, "My Heart Belongs to Jesus Christ."[29]
