Good performance. Decent vocals by her standards! I actually assumed she'd sound like a dying cat to be honest, but she was fine!
J.Lo sang live on Idol, I couldn't believe it!

Janet sure looks like shit now, especially since he lipped a *ballad.* :rotfl:

From Popjustice:

The Jennifer Lopez album: five best bits, five worst bits

As you might expect, hopes for Jennifer Lopez's 'Love?' album were fairly low. Then 'Papi' came along. And some other listenable bits too.

So does 'Love?' live up to recent expectations, or down to previous ones?

Well it's hard to listen to the album without feeling that the whole thing's jam-packed with stuff nobody else wanted, but here are the good bits and the bad bits of the album everyone's calling 'the one we might listen to a few times until something else comes along'.


GOOD STUFF

1. THE "LA LA LA LA LA" BIT IN 'ON THE FLOOR'
The first time we heard this we thought it was just a completely lazy way of avoiding having to writing more lyrics or find interesting or even uninteresting new ways of fitting the phrase "on the floor" into the song. We were probably right - there's no real sign of any creative passion anywhere in this song or across the whole album - but repeated listening has shown us that the "la la la la la" bit is not just lazy, it's what it would sound like if Jennifer Lopez were so consumed by the joy of music that she lost the ability to speak any sense at all and found herself reduced to communicating in "la la la"s. It's a properly euphoric moment that sounds exactly like how it feels to be overtaken by music. Like we say it was probably just chucked in quickly because there was only five minutes left until lunch and Scherzinger was due in at 1.30, but sometimes in life it is important to look for the positives and that is what we have just done.

2. THE AMAZING CHORUS BIT IN 'HYPNOTICO'
The "all the boys will love it when we do our thing, we're just some silly heartbreakers tonight" is eyewateringly brilliant. A lot has been made out of the fact that Lady Gaga co-wrote this song - presumably the story here is that a portion of this song (possibly the really good bit under discussion here) is something Lady Gaga worked on with RedOne but didn't want, then RedOne gave it to Jennifer Lopez. Whatever the truth is, the chorus is really good.

3. THE SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS TRUTH THAT 'PAPI' IS FANTASTIC
The first 25 seconds of this song might form one of the most exciting intros of 2011. If this is not a single we will track down the person responsible for making the decision and we will kill them with our bare hands.

4. THE AMAZING GENERIC LEONAISMS OF 'UNTIL IT BEATS NO MORE'
"I'm in love and it's all because of you, I was fading but you pulled me through." This is amazing.

5. THE CHEERING NEWS THAT 'GOOD HIT' IS OUT OF THE WAY BY TRACK THREE
Putting the execrable 'Good Hit' as track two means that it is relatively easy to get on with enjoying the rest of the album.


BAD STUFF

1. THE PRESENCE OF PITBULL IN 'ON THE FLOOR'
A sobering reminder that evil still exists in the world and the fight will never be over.

2. THE FACT THAT 'HYPNOTICO' IS JUST RE-DONE REDONE
It's a little too close to being retread of 'Club Banger Nation' off the Nicole album. 'Bad Romance' remakes we can handle, but this just feels weak. Another 'Love?' album track, 'Invading My Mind', is pretty much the same deal, except without the really good bit.

3. THE CHORUS OF 'PAPI' SOUNDING A BIT DODGY
Obviously there's loads of shit about 'my rock' and 'hands up in the air' - this is a Jennifer Lopez album so that is a given. More importantly the fist-gnawingly shit pop cliches on 'Papi' are almost bearable next to the "dance for your daddy" gist of the chorus. There is no sadface capable of articulating the awfulness of this imagery.

4. THE CRAP GENERIC LEONAISMS OF 'UNTIL IT BEATS NO MORE'
Like any meaningful attempt to really grasp the vastness of the universe, it's hard to totally comprehend how many other artists this song must have been around before it ended up with Jennifer Lopez.

5. THE TRAGIC NEWS THAT 'GOOD HIT' IS STILL GENERALLY UNLISTENABLE
The Auto Tune! Oh God our ears, our ears! And the lyrics! 'Swagger', 'in your face'. There are so many songs like this in LA that they've had to find alternative uses for them. The wedge doors open with them, they stick them under legs of wobbly tables. And still the mountain of pointless 'club' 'bangers' continues to grow. It's sad really, but what can you do? Actually here's what you can do: STOP WRITING THEM AND WRITE SOMETHING INTERESTING INSTEAD.



IN CONCLUSION

Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger should form a duo. The duo should perform songs like 'Poison' and 'On The Floor' and 'Papi' etc and RedOne should generally just use the duo as a dumping ground for things other people don't want. There should be lots of videos set in nightclubs where it starts to rain even though it is all happening indoors.

:lmao:
Why should anyone give a shit what PoopJustice thinks??! They're Britney headquarters. That's all you need to know. :sadbitch:

Mother's Day shoppers and a plethora of new releases bring some life back into next week's chart with as many as eight debuts in the Top 10. Adele is proving to be a real "mother" as she'll log another week at the top with about a 20-25% gain over last week. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Adele (XL/Columbia) 140-160k
*Beastie Boys (Capitol/EMI) 110-120k
*Now 38 (Capitol/EMI) 110-120k
*Fleet Foxes (Sub Pop) 80-90k
*Jennifer Lopez (Island/IDJ) 60-65k
*Stevie Nicks (Reprise) 45-50k
*Musiq Soulchild (Atlantic) 35-40k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 28-32k
*Sade Ultimate Collection (Epic) 27-30k
*Sixx: A.M. (Eleven Seven) 27-30
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 27-30k
Lemonade Mouth (Walt Disney) 25-28k
Foo Fighters (Roswell/RCA/RMG) 25-28k
Bruno Mars (New Elektra) 20-23k
Britney Spears (Jive/JLG) 20-23k

*Debuts (5/5p)

I thought it was a good performance. Nothing different or spectacular about it though. Standard american idol performance stuff.

Well, she's coming off of a couple of flop albums, so I'm not too surprised. If "I'm Into You" is a hit, it should sell ok. She's definitely not going to be one of those album artists though. I don't think people don't trust her to deliver across a whole album.
