jlo’s ‘waiting for tonight’ is a cover

[FentyGa 13,144]

it has recently come to my attention that jlo’s 1999 hit ‘waiting for tonight is a cover of a song by 3rd Party

not to bash ms lopez but this means she has  barely any original hits lowkey

If You Had My Love was a ripoff of a Chanté Moore song

I’m Real stole Mariah’s Loverboy sample

I’m Real remix and Ain’t It Funny Remix were obv Ashanti’s vocal, as was (i think) Love Don’t Cost A Thing

Jenny From The Block had a ghost singer (ironically enough)

Play was Christina Millian’s vocal

Get Right was written for jlo because she wanted something similar to Amerie’s 1 Thing (which she actually recorded and almost released, but Amerie leaked her own version to radio)

Jennifer is so cringy when it comes to her music I can’t even...

What    I never knew about this, and I lowkey prefer the original one   

Is there anything in J-Lo's discography that is actually hers?

[Miss Dolly 2,925]

What of J. Lo’s discography isn’t a cover or a stolen sample - even Gaga is a victim

Omg. I had no idea!!!! Waiting for tonight is such a classic and is not even hers!! Wow. Mind blown

I knew that somehow I didn't know her version though 

[mr.peter 2,891]

ehh I forgive her. Leave JLO alone. She's not the most organically talented type of artist... but She sure works hard for what she wants. Even if she has to buy songs. And the whole background vocals not being her....I think that was always the case in the 90's. They would always use a lot of vocals on a track that weren't the main artist. So that don't bug me much. 

she a free woman

Yeah, poor little millionaire who doesn't credit lesser known vocalists and profits off their talent

[Wet Fire 2,251]

I didn't know this 

The chorus of On the Floor is also apparently a ripoff of a Bollywood song.  the Bollywood song is in fact by Bappi Lahiri who claimed a year ago that Gaga had collaborated with him.

Her only good song for me 

Also On The Floor samples a Brazilian song

She made it better and iconic. Poor you.

[bluemonkey 446]

Yeah I knew about that, Tommy Motolla pushed her to sing it as she initially didn’t like it.
