that's the problem, i think.
it's just ok. IMO. she should stick with "Fresh Out The Oven" as the lead single. i just don't feel this song has single material written on it. her "Brave" album had some good 'singles' potential. but her pregnancy at the time, lack of promotion, and lackluster videos didn't help.


DAMN IT J.LO EDIT!

I meant the album. She had some okay tunes on that album. They could have pushed for another single or two.

Obsessed was always the first single. I think if it had flopped they would have labeled it a "buzz" track or whatever.

ah ok, yea doesn't sound like its a hit but u can bop ur head 2 it, right

It was a mistake single out the box at the time, she had a few "different" kind of tracks on that album (one or two with instruments), but she put this out without Fab and then all of a sudden the Remix was pushed out and thrown on the album and i think everyone at that point was tired of this whole "oh here we go with the collabos again"

JackieBlue said:

They really torpedoed that project - and her career - with the second single. I mean she was the definition of overexposed in the US at that point, and I think it hurt Get Right somewhat in that territory, but it was still a substantial global hit. But Hold You Down just soured everyone on the project.

And suddenly everyone was doing the things J.Lo was doing, but doing them better. The fact that she hadn't mounted a tour or really developed as a performer also hurt her chances. And she became a footnote in music history almost overnight.

The thing is that she is not and never was a full time artist, she, all though i love her to death, is ONE of the reasons for this whole overkill with artists now. We get like 2-3 artists and they are jammed down our throats like it or not, and they can never just do music, because as we all know, no one sells enough to come close to paying for this bullshit video budgets and contracts that they have. So U get Beyonce doing an album, a movie, a magazine, a tour, another album etc.. You will get Rihanna in more films soon, you already have Alicia Keys in Movies, Mariah is doing them now, Justin is doing them, Miley is doing them etc... No one really has the time to just do one thing so no one can grow, and even if they do, you get so sick of the person, who the fuck cares if they grow. I mean Beyonce or Rihanna could put out the greatest album ever, and you wont care because your sick of them.

and my hips!!

at the choice of a single, alot of her better singles were collabos.

a pic of her rehearsing for the AMA's

banks, you gave us another reason we need to get yo ass banned

I mean really must she sing about Louboutins... The minute I hear a label on a song I want nothing to do with it! The brand suffers imo have a bunch of chicks wearing it wrong, while turning it into hood wear smh

Average J-LO but I love those shoes

Not that she was ever Joni Mitchell, but this is the single worst Jennifer Lopez song I've ever heard.

She should rather focus on her acting career. I really liked U-Turn and that movie with Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman. As an actress she is much more convincing than as a singer.

Hold You Down was a turd. They shouldn't have even bothered with that one.

Oh God she's drank the Tricky and Dream Kool Aid...

that was pretty bad. Some of her stuff is pretty catchy but this is absolutely awful! I wasn't even sure what that meant and then when she said I figured it out, Dumb! If she had one decent producer, she might squeak out some good songs.

mimi2 said:

No. After a few listens, you realize just how catchy Britney's tunes can be. This is just relentlessly boring beats and shallow name dropping!

So the song is about the shoes?? b/c I'll never listen to it

CalhounSq said:

yea... she's leaving him in a pair

midiscover said:

She could have came back harder than this.

PurpleGstring said:

Well nothing has changed, she still can't sing. I liked "Play" and "Get Right" but that was about it. I was even crazy enough to buy one of her awful albums. Wonder what I was drunk on that day.

Forget about singing and stick to acting, Her voice sucks.

I was really hoping to never hear from her again. She sucks.
