Like trying to figure out if the video model from Kanye’s video was real or not, then turn right around and talk about how great JLO is.

NOPE we don’t likey (much less love it).
When I saw the title “Hold It, Don’t Drop It”…my first thought was- is she gonna play this for Marc when she has the baby? (or babies according to some)
Oh well. I want her to leave the music thing alone. Completely. She can still dance all day, though.

It’s the media and some, not all, (notice how I put that) ignorant, low class, so-called negro black men who pretend like her ass, is some new found phenomenon, that they have never before witnessed or seen. Get it together sweetie. Don’t group all black people together. I’m the color, but not the common kind.

On Dec 4, 2007 at 8:40 pm | Reply | QuoteMy point was that on black websites you will see posts and stories , talking about how great this nonBlack woman is in Hollywood, and then out of the same website there are negative stories about Black actresses and singers, models, yet you will never see that on a latino website. I’m not talking about the black people who are positive, I’m upset with those who downplay a black woman and build up someone else. Now if I’m generalizing, I’m only going by what I read.

On Dec 4, 2007 at 8:45 pm | Reply | QuoteI like some of her songs but this one is not one of them and the video is not doing it for me either. I have listened to all of the songs on the album and I like 7 songs out of 13… ..be mine, brave, I need love, the way it is, stay together, and forever. And who the heck is picking these songs (not good) for videos?!?!? She needs to tell mark A.K.A skeletor to back the f-up and give her some breathing room to get the creativity juices flowing.
No she can’t do the highs but we know that and she’s never said she was no damn Aretha freakin Franklin. We all know if it were not for her arss there would be no jlo. But for all of you that think it’s that easy to do all that she has done ur wrong. She might not be that talented but she has determination and anything is possible when you have that quality. NO, I am not a big fan, so don’t even go there. I love music and will sift through all the garbage just to find something worth listening to.

On Dec 4, 2007 at 10:13 pm | Reply | Quoteok, so i watched this vid….wasted four minutes that I can never get back………..and came up with these observations/questions:
1. How do a few shuffle ball change cross steps constitute “choreography”?
2. Why do her lips match the disco ball? Is this a 70’s trend I missed out on?
3. Why is she always wearing those black hip boots with outfits they don’t match?
4. And on another fashion related issue……..Now, fashionista I am not, but is it a fashion trend to wear black ankle boots when your WHOLE ensemble is sparkly silver?

She left the hood y’all and I ain’t mad but this ish must be selling on the Latin Charts or overseas in my opinion. The US is not the only place to make dollas, she got the overseas bank account going lets keep it real my people.

On the real, as hard as Puffy was on the people trying to “make the band” he never told J.Lo that she couldn’t sing??!! She must have been putting it down.

The song sucks sooo much.
And the video is not that good either.
I use to like her back then when she started to sing but now…
It is just so pathetic to see how hard she is trying to stay into the music industry. As many of you said it, she needs to let go off the singing career and focus on other aspects of her life and career!!

The beat is in one key and JLo is singing in another completely “off” Key
And she sometimes she lagged behind the beat like her singing couldn´t keep up with the beat/rythm.
The video is not bad but nothing to brag about neither….

On Dec 5, 2007 at 10:04 am | Reply | QuoteBohwe is telling the truth. I see black females constantly tearing down and over-analyzing most of the sistas posted on the black blogs, even when they look great and have real talent.
But no, J-Lo is viewed as uber-fabulous by many sistas as if she is the only women of color to dress nice and dance well.
Bottom line, whether some sistas want to admit it, they hate other black women simply because they hate themselves.

On Dec 5, 2007 at 10:13 am | Reply | QuoteThese pathetic lyrics have been put to the music of an old school song by Tavares (I think “Heaven must be missing an Angel”). The lyrics are “it only takes a minute girl, to fall in love, to fall in love” “ooh, ooh, ooh fallen in love, ooh, ooh, ooh fallen in love”. Yall old schoolers know what I’m talking about. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stand it over the nasal whine that is known as J-Lo’s voice. She done.

Most of the “sistas” talking about how messed up black talents are will no doubt say the same thing about JLO. She cannot sing. Never could. Anyone with ears knows that. But she still as appeal and sells herself, but so does Ashanti, Amerie, Rhianna, etc. So they all get talked about equally for not having any real talent. PERIOD. It’s not about “hate”. This is fact…

On Dec 5, 2007 at 12:39 pm | Reply | Quotehello natasha,
unlike some people, i usually don’t quibble with who you choose to highlight on your blog. however, i must take exception with jlo. she may be young but she’s not black and her fabulousness is debateable. i could understand if the numerous posts about jlo resulted from the fact that what she does involves black people. for example, if she were still dating diddy, i would totally understand. however, by all accounts, jlo is for the most part toning down the hip-hop/r&b image and music that made her famous and is embracing her latina roots. therefore, why should black folks pay any attention to her? why not let the latina blogs pick up th slack? i’m fine with the non-ybf news here and there but your posts about jlo are different and makes me question whether you’ve given her an undeserved ybf “pass.”

On Dec 5, 2007 at 1:35 pm | Reply | QuoteThis video is a rip of a few other videos, and Amerie’s “1 Thing” is one of them. Lemme break it down.
The white, multi-platformed backdrop with dancers behind J.Lo as she performs behind the mike is ALL “1 Thing”. (Can’t you hear the DC go-go in your head as you watch it?) The sequence where she is seated, wearing a backless get up with her updo and bejewled face is how Shakira ends her “Hips Don’t Lie” video, updo, bedazzled face, and all.
And when did wearing someone’s Yenta grandma’s hat become fierce?
I usually love everything this chick does. This one? Not loving it. Barely liking it. Definitely not respecting it.

Anyway the song is whatever, the video adds a little spark to the song. I really couldn’t even watch the whole thing because her singing was horrid. I don’t know how she even became a singer in the first place.

On Dec 5, 2007 at 3:04 pm | Reply | QuoteJ.Lo is a bad chick. PERIOD. She keeps herself up, she is smart and she is business minded. She is not a soul singer,no but she is an entertainer by any means. She can still capture an audience. BTW, chick is already very rich and making more from perfume, 3 clothing lines, concerts, movies, endorsements ect. She is eating and having fun doing it. I think though that she see will probably give a hoot about it when her baby is born. That is pretty much what she used to talk about all the time. As far as some black women, I call it like I see it. If J.Lo starts actin a fool than she can get it too. I don’t think that we pick on black women as opposed to latina women. I think it is important not to hate on people but somethings are just Wrong!

On Dec 7, 2007 at 12:58 am | Reply | QuoteI could sit here and hate on JLO and say that the song sucks and that she cannot sing but I won’t. I like the song. The song has a nice throw back vibe. Maybe she can only hold a tune and cannot blow like many singers out there but how many people that are artists in the game who cannot truly sing and still make money? A lot of the so-called good artists now came out when they could not perform(some still cannot) and can only hold a tune and everybody thinks they are hot. Call it what you want to but I think that some people are hating on the fact that they cannot pull off the “cannot sing and still getting paid act.” Maybe a terrible song but she’s still getting paid regardless. She is still fabulous!!!

On Dec 8, 2007 at 8:23 am | Reply | QuoteI think the quote you just made little to no sense. In case you do not know the history of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans, let me give you a short brief on it. The native or original Puerto Rican was an indian, a Taino indian. The Spaniards conquered the island. The Spaniards brought with them Africans to help build forts, etc. Thus the mixing of the races. All Puerto Ricans are mixed, we have European, Indian and African in us. No matter how black or how white you look, we have these races in our blood and we are proud of it. We don’t want to be white and we don’t want to be black, if anything we would claim our original Taino herritage. So don’t make us black and don’t make us white. And, by the way this young lady does exemplefy the this combination of the three races. So why hate when we are just like you. In America today if you aint white you aint right so why not stick together.
