Watch Jennifer Lopez’s New Music Video for Step Up Revolution

Jul 26, 2012 @ 6:30 pm

We just can’t get enough of Jennifer Lopez! Two days after her 43rd birthday, American Idol‘s former “Fly Girl” is back with one of her most colorful music videos yet: “Goin’ In,” a paint ball-splattered extended teaser for tomorrow’s Step Up Revolution. The pop star’s Blumarine looks here are 100% street diva (think pin-straight locks paired with pink capes and Swarvoski lips) and we love her “make art, not war” message (she blows a dandelion into glitter)—just as positive and perky as the dance protest sequences in Revolution. Watch the video above, featuring clips from the new dance flick, which lands in theaters tomorrow.
