Somehow J. Lo never found the time to play a full show in her home borough before Wednesday. She appeared at Orchard Beach in Pelham Bay Park. The free concert kicked off a national music series, sponsored by State Farm Insurance.

The event lasted an hour and a half and Lopez did her best to make up for the lost time, going through every one of her top hits, as well as some tracks from her upcoming album, “A.K.A.,” which comes out June 17th. The show was also included a full line of dancers, with faux fireworks and flames, enhanced by real lasers, and blasts of smoke! She opened the show with popular songs “Same Girl,” and closing with “Jenny From The Block,”. To accompany her, she had some handy guest star rappers, including Ja Rule, French Montana, and Fat Joe, who contributed his own ideal summer jam hit “Lean Back.”

Lopez also has had a bunch of classic hits which have brought a ton of success around her over the years, from “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” to “If You Had My Love.” “Waiting for Tonight” remains a peak bit of retro-disco. They all turned up here. J. Lo also featured the new single “First Love,” produced the king of Swedish candy pop Max Martin.

This show generated thousands of people! Jennifer Lopez definitely showed that home will always be where her heart is!

“Don’t you just love Bronx summers?,” she gushed. “It’s a dream come true.”
