j.lo owes alot of people money. i was sure her marriage to marc Anthony wouldn't last past April of 04'. That was when I was fourteen, and betting five dollars was the big stakes. the good ole days....

i'm sorry she can't sing or act and is an evil bitch

I'd be surprised if they included the pop/album version. Might be smart if they did what they did with the latest Celine Dion set and release a one and two disc version. It would be really bad if they just release a "Playlist" disc. That would be really bad. I can't imagine if Sony would be that dumb and/or bitter...but like I said, no Mariah Carey DVD collection, so....

Now I'm thinking...what would a Jennifer Lopez "Greatest Hits" look like.
I have to look up Wikipedia to remember most of the songs.


"If You Had My Love"
"Waiting For Tonight"
"Feelin' So Good"
"Love Don't Cost A Thing"
"Play"
"I'm Real"
"I'm Real" (Remix)
"Ain't It Funny" (remix)
"I'm Gonna Be All Right"
"Jenny From the Block"
"All I Have" (w/ LL Cool J...for some reason missing from his hits set even though it was a number one pop track and he isn't Madonna where he can afford to dismiss those)
"Get Right"
"Hold You Down"
"Do It Well"
"Hold It Don't Drop It"
"Fresh Out the Oven"
"Loubutions"
"No Me Ames" (w/ Marc Anthony...how sweet)
"Que Histora"
After "Get Right", I was being generous" but also figured that at least one Spanish song would be included. The big hits stopped right after "Get Right" (which hit number one in the UK...not bad).

J-Lo isn't popular anymore. It is almost mind blowing that SNL booked her as a host and musical guest. Their big problem is they book hosts and musical guests too early in the season and sometimes they run into commercial disasters.

No i worked as a buyer for a retail company that dealt with labels 24/7 and had to "learn the game" that they play with the numbers, to get the numbers. My good friend used to write for Vibe (an article) and preached about real RB on deaf ears but at least she did it, her name is Sonya Askew and she is a great "soul" and basically told me all the things of how these companies run and do their "thing"

Wowugotit said:

I remember she started losing her popularity (in the US) as a musical artist when Beyonce started her solo career in 2003. It was all "J-lo, J-lo, J-lo," until Beyonce stole the show with greater skills and appeal (better dancer, better singer, better songs, better performances, more lascivious clothes, bigger butt, lol). It's too bad Jennifer was dropped, but like others have said, she should probably concentrate on acting anyway.

It is perfect up to that point.

WaterInYourBath said:

Very true. We all liked J-Lo til we realised how shitty the music was.

RnBAmbassador said:

She's already signed a new deal supposedly with Island/Def Jam:

Worked for Janet...wait a minute...

She's an idiot for never headlining her OWN arena tour after her 2nd album, when she was at her peak. She could have at least earned a reputation as a great live dancer/"Singer"/entertainer, a la Janet a la Paula - but she didn't.

I (might be) buying the greatest hits though! If they include all the musts!

If You Had My Love
Waiting for Tonight
Waiting for Tonight (Hex Hector version)
Feelin So Good
Lets Get Loud
No Me Ames
Love Don't Cost a Thing
Play
I'm Real
I'm Real (Murder Inc. Remix)
Ain't it Funny (Murder Inc.)
I'm Gonna Be Alright (f/ Nas)
Jenny From the Block
All I Have (f/ LL Cool J)
Get Right
Que Hiciste

VinnyM27 said:

And Mariah's still selling milli...wait a minute...

That would be me.

It must be embarassing for her to get dropped from her label just *before* the new CD was due.She released two singles from it and performed one of the songs on TV.She's in an odd situation right now and who knows if the album will ever get released?

About time. Next up hopefully Beyonce.

Vanilli said:

I don't think so, because she CAN sing. Her issue is, overexposure. Jenn, is not as talented and can't place one foot in front of the other.

What I find amazing about her is, even though she isn't A-list anymore, she's still able to land high profile gigs (ex.the Oscars) and magazine covers.

Chico is gonna kill me for saying this but I think J-Lo is *over* as a recording artist/performer.Her time has passed.How many times can she do a lame song with a popular rapper on the remix?! She rarely tours,so that's not an option for her either.She should just stick with acting.That's something that she has had some success with.

no. i'm not going to kill you.....not just yet.

so Sony is dropping her. but i bet they'll have no problems trying to cash in on her catalogue. hmmm. record companies drop people left and right. they also expect hits from people when they don't do any promotion their damn selves.

as far as the rapper thing; that can be said about several major artists that are around today. and you know that too well SoulAlive. so far only "Fresh Out The Oven" features Pitbull. none of the other tracks have rappers. that i'm aware of anyway.

is she over musically? no. is she over as being a MAJOR recording artist? perhaps. but someone will sign her. i don't care if she has another hit or not. but the fact remains that she had a successful run, and possibly still could. several #1's and millions sold. i bring that up only because "how successful someone is" comes up in this thread.

i don't think her new songs are that much different than a lot of the stuff people on here rave about. if you don't like her, fine. but all this J.LO vs. Britney vs. Madonna vs. Janet vs. Rihanna vs. Kylie vs. Beyonce or whoever crap is soooo immature. is her music really any less "great" or different than any of the other pop 'divas' out? i never understood why you can't like more than one similar artist at the same time.

fact; she is/was a SUCCESSFUL recording artist. is a successful actress, dancer, business woman. her name/brand still brings in major $$$.
no her vocals are not that of Celine Dion or Jennifer Hudson, but then again she's never claimed that. yet no one here is really making 10 page threads about Celine, or Jennifer Hudson. but they probably can't sing or scream instead of singing right? which goes to show Jennifer Lopez's name still gets attention.

oh she's singing ballads?!? so what!! at least she's attempting to do something a bit different. remember when people were laughing at Madonna for picking up a guitar? no she's no Santana or Hendrix, but she's learing and doing something new. you can't when with people. fickle fickle fickle. lol. build them up to tear them down.

if you don't like her that's fine. but to sit there and say she's got no talent is ridiculous. another reason i love her is because despite what people say, she keeps on doing what she wants. and IMO is damn good at it.

purplepolitician always posts how much he hates J.lo after i post that i love her. and it doesn't bother me. it's just friendly banter. the same with dewrde and Madonna. it's just all this she or he can't do this, is ugly, too fat, isn't talented crap that is juvenile. i don't spend hours tearing down someone who's music/movie i don't like. i just don't buy it or pay attention to it.

i'm not going to kill you SoulAlive...i respect people's opinions when they come from a place of constructive critisim. not hate and jealousy. for crying out loud we're MADONNA fans. if we were going to get rid of all her "haters" this site alone would consist of 5 people.




i just wanna dance....is that a crime?
[Edited 3/13/10 17:58pm]

She's actually in a better position than most fading pop artists.She has acting to fall back on.She has credibility as an actress.

SoulAlive said:

the no touring thing can definitely can hurt an artist. and i'm still because she/they cancelled the show in my area.

i'm jusy saying if decline in sales equates to no talent then let's count the people who should also fit in that catagory

prince
madonna
janet jackson
mariah carey
george michael

*cough*DonnaSummer*cough*

etc....

so what's the status of her recoding career? Is she getting ready to sign elsewhere? Has her new CD been cancelled?
