In the clips that have surfaced online from the show, Jennifer is seen crawling seductively across the stage before engaging in sexually suggestive moves with her male backup dancers. At one point, she nearly kissed one dancer, then bent over to grind against another. Later, she positioned herself on top of one performer while reaching behind to grab the backsides of two others standing beside her. The steamy sequence unfolded just before she launched into her 2011 hit I’m Into You.
