US POLITICS American singer actress Jennifer Lopez appeal for support democratic candidate. She added: ‘We’re gonna change things.’
Jennifer Lopez put on an eye-popping display for Hillary Clinton supporters in Florida.
As the presidential candidate hopes to win over Hispanic voters from rival Donald Trump.
During the packed outdoor concert on a rain-soaked night in Miami, a scantily-clad Lopez put on a dramatic performance.
Where she interspersed songs with huge images of Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama during her Democratic convention speech.
The event meant to fire up Hispanic voters and drive turnout in a must-win state for Republican candidate Trump, in the election’s final days.

During the show, Clinton urged supporters not to let Trump get away with ‘stoking fear’ and ‘insulting one group of Americans after another.’
Playing off Lopez’s hit Let’s Get Loud, a staple at Clinton rallies, she also urged Floridians to ‘get loud at the voting booth.’

‘Are you ready for your voices to be heard?’ J-Lo sang while donning a sequin American flag outfit as she opened the show with the song Let’s Get Loud.
She added: ‘We’re gonna change things.’
‘When they go high, we go low,’ the First Lady intoned, while J-Lo performed with her 10 back-up dancers.
‘Now fellows I love you but I need to talk to the ladies right quick,’ Lopez said.
‘Now I’m a hard working woman, do you know that? I work hard for the money.
You know what, you gotta respect that,’ she said – without having to mention Clinton’s all-out appeal to women voters, or backing of ‘equal pay’ legislation.
Another song intro featured former president Franklin D Roosevelt’s words from his famed speech in which he said, ‘the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’
It was followed by a John F Kennedy speech – and a line from Clinton.
Then Lopez took to the microphone in a red cape and sang Love Make the World Go Round – at which point the skies opened up with rain.
Singing sensation Marc Anthony – who split from Lopez – offered warm words for his ex as well as his endorsed candidate.
‘And I want to say from the bottom of my heart.
I am here and it’s an honor to support two women that I trust my life with.
I trust my children with I trust my future with – listen to me this is a very very special time in history,’ he said.

‘After the establishment sees how we show up and how we vote and the power that we have, they will never mess with us again.
They will see us as the force that we are,’ Anthony said.
Anthony played his hit La Gozadera, which translates as ‘the party,’ along with Cuban duo Gente de Zona.
DM Xtreme did a version of the song ‘I’m with her’ with electronic beats behind it.
Before introducing Clinton onstage, Lopez told the audience ‘we are at a crossroads.’
‘We have to take the right road to the future, Lopez shouted to screaming fans in rain gear.
Who danced through rain and a shower of red, white and blue confetti.
Joining Lopez and Anthony on the stage, Clinton took advantage of the huge crowd to blast Trump and tout her own ‘stronger together’ theme.
First, she thanked the performance and even plugged J-Lo’s show in Sin City.
‘Let’s give it up for the fantastic Jennifer Lopez. And lets also recognize another great performer, Marc Anthony,’ Clinton said.

‘She’s working hard on her TV program. Her incredible show in Las Vegas. But she cares so much about what’s going to happen in this election. And she’s also a fierce advocate for women and children and that means a lot to me,’ Clinton said.
She then blasted Trump for ‘stoking fear,’ without mentioning his specific comments about Mexicans or others.
She said Trump was ‘disgracing our democracy and insulting one group of Americans after the other.’
‘Well let me ask you this, are we going to let Donald Trump get away with that?’ she said, to a resounding chorus of ‘no’ from the audience.
‘You’re right we’re not.
We believe in a different kind of change where we come together, we grow together, because you know what we are stronger together,’ Clinton said.
‘So just remember no matter how low our opponents go, we go high. And no matter what they throw at us we don’t back down. Not now, not ever.’
The crowd then broke out into a roaring applause before chanting ‘Hillary’.
Next week, Clinton will take the stage with Jay Z in Cleveland, and then with Katy Perry in Philadelphia on November 5.

Clinton flew to Miami in midst of a campaign crisis. She tore into the FBI at an earlier stop on Saturday in Daytona Beach.
Her campaign has begun to focus heavily on Florida as a way to deprive Trump of a state that is critical to any narrow path to victory for him.
She was in Miami earlier in the week on a two-day swing, and plans to come back to the state on Tuesday.
Earlier on Saturday, in Daytona Beach, Clinton tried to make the best of her email scandal by going after the FBI for its stunning statement in the midst of a presidential race.
Her remarks came after FBI Director James Comey released a letter announcing that the bureau was examining.
New emails connected to its investigation of Clinton’s email scandal.
‘In fact, it’s not just strange it’s unprecedented and it’s deeply troubling,’ Clinton said.
Clinton had first gone after Comey on Friday in a surprise press conference just hours after the news broke, just days before the November 8 election.
‘Voters deserve to get full and complete facts.
And so we call on Director Comey to explain everything right away.’ She urged Comey to ‘put it all out on the table.’
