Live Performances
Lopez performed "Waiting for Tonight" for the first time at the 1999 Billboard Music Awards, where she opened the show. She also sang the song along with "Feelin' So Good" during an appearance at Saturday Night Live on May 2, 2000. She also sang the song at her set of Let's Get Loud Concerts in Puerto Rico; a performance in which she got down on "all fours" while singing. The performance was televised on NBC on November 20, 2001. In 2009, Lopez performed it at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in a "revealing" catsuit. The catsuit provoked a mixed reaction from the public; The host of the show Ryan Seacrest praised the outfit, saying that it "made my year"—while others weren't so admirable. Alicia Lundgren, a 24-year-old dancer from Philadelphia, told the New York Daily News: "There's too many wrinkles. It looks like elephant skin." Lopez wore a glittery bodysuit for her performance of the song at Mohegan Sun's 15th anniversary celebration concert; green lasers swept across the arena ceiling as her dancers "whirled" around her. It was included on the setlist for her Dance Again World Tour in 2012. During her European leg at her concert in Italy, Lopez supposedly had a wardrobe malfunction according to various sources during her performance of "Waiting for Tonight". She was wearing a "plunging skintight cat suit".

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire:
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moones sphere;
And I serve the fairy queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
