Jennifer Lopez proved hands down that she’s still the reigning queen of pop music during a splashy mini-concert on Friday’s Good Morning America.
The 44-year-old singer’s Cleopatra-inspired performance in New York’s Central Park included a bevy of muscly shirtless men posing as Egyptian slaves and scintillating dance moves from Lopez herself.
Jennifer played the smouldering temptress while wearing a sparkly white costume that featured a plunging neckline and daring cut-outs at the waist, while short panels provided some modesty as she strutted on stage in hot pants and tall white boots.

Most dramatic was when she sat atop a white sofa hoisted in the air by a quartet of back-up dancers in white flaring trousers, sashes and no shirts.
Gently the muscly hunks lowered the chair and propelled Jennifer forward into an amazing routine as she sang songs from her new album including Booty, First Love and On The Floor.
Jennifer swished her long mane of caramel and coffee-hued hair as she grooved to the music, microphone in hand.The songstress shaked her famous derriere while performing Booty, singing, ‘shake that!’

Jennifer slowed the pace a bit to sing ‘you’re making me feel so fine’ from her tune First Love while prancing up and down the T-shaped stage.
The dancer revved it up at the end of the song with a group of male back-up dancers in sparkly black suits who complimented her booty-shaking dance moves.
Jennifer sat in a throne-like plush black chair to begin her dance hit On The Floor as her male revue, now wearing white vests and white trousers, provided some diversion.
