I don't get why Mariah (and her stans) feel this compulsion to keep bashing Jennifer Lopez TWENTY YEARS after she accepted a song sample as an up and coming singer.

J.Lo doesn't care!

Swap in Emma Bunton and Pixie Lott and see how you feel

Who?

If Emma can forgive Geri, Mariah can practice the art of letting go on J.Lo

 

[HeLikedTurner]

no one outside of the stanbase remembers Loverboy either babes

They do. Unbeknownst to them it has seeped into their subconscious and they adore it. They simply have no cognitive recognition of this FACT.

 

[dUb]

If anything, Mariah being able to speak about it and release Loverboy like she now has will bring her and us all great healing, closure and a way forward with his* grace and in his* light. :emoji_poodle::emoji_pray:

And since we’re on this subject, I’d like to state the following extreme point of view:

I prefer JLo’s version of Do You Know Where You’re Going To.

WHAT!

If Emma can forgive Geri, Mariah can practice the art of letting go on J.Lo

hun, can you let something go that you never even cared about in the first place?

I mean, some queens are feeling superior that other queens are petty and stuck on some twenty year old drama

But said Entertainer should be happy we kept her relevant in recent times. Beyond "I don't know her", her pop cultural legacy is... Maid in Manhattan?

 

[Loufoque]

What are said Entertainer's streaming numbers btw? Which classics are people returning to?

 

[dUb]

Oh I don't think we need to draw attention to their comparative monthly Spotify listeners!

Gowns. Beautiful gowns.

The Versace dress. Get Right. And, of course, Monster In Law. !

She also invented Google Image Search. Give women in STEM their due.

 

[Loufoque]

Oh right, she wore a dress that Donnatella made her that one time. "Iconic". We have no choice but to... be non-plussed?

 

[Jark]

J.Lo is a cultural icon. Mariah is a talented icon. There's space for everyone!

 

[Loufoque]

I looked at streaming figures and it seems the most entertaining song in her catalogue is the Lambada cover. That was a cute moment, fun for a night in Magaluf.

All I Want For Christmas has over double the streams of the Lambada cover, which is also a cute factoid.

Some of us can be both lambs and love JLo.

You do you, luv!

You can certainly be a fan and think you're a lamb...

[POP!]

I love “I’m Real” (pop version)

but has it ever been revealed WHO is singing that chorus cos it ain’t J Lo

 

[dUb]

Soz RS I shouldn’t appoint myself the gatekeeer of lambdom!

But it does kinda seem like a prerequisite not to love that particular female entertainer

I'm loving Firecracker. It's all neat and tidy compared to Loverboy's stumbling out of a bar trashed cousin, but both approaches are right in their own time.

My friends whenever I take out my Mariah stan card "but BUT JLO did the SUPER BOWL!"

I had genuinely forgotten about that. Says it all really!

It was quite a moment before Corona hit us hard but, imho it was thanks to that OTHER Latina entertainer

 

[Pipo]

I'm warming up to Firecracker version but it still needs more Da Brat. Is it me or it does it really pass as a spruced up demo? I mean, I can't believe there's no middle 8, I'm quite sure that space was saved for a rent-a-rapper.

 

[KC 🦋]

The Cameo Loverboy has somehow aged the best out of all of them. Certainly better than both JLo ones.

 

[KC 🦋]

But yes, I do think that the Firecracker version is going to take some time to warm up to. I can definitely see myself loving it.

 

[KC 🦋]

JLo is a non factor

She also had that 'stripping to Fiona Apple' movie that had a fair bit of buzz last year - poor J Lo, having a career renaissance only for the world to shut down.

It’s just that JLo is on such another level compared to Mariah, she could only dream to be considered competition.

Up and coming entertainer winning so far God bless those plucky newcomers

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I just went onto J Lo's page on Apple Music and her album artwork is such trash. Everything looks like it was art-directed by Alexis Matteo.

!

 

[Raining on Me]

The Loverboy Firecracker version is fine and I'm enjoying it for what it is, but I don't think it would have had any more impact than the one we got (if that was the original idea, I've no idea of the story behind it). I love the breathy, bouncy mess we got, always have and it's never diminished. A dark time in Mariah's career for the sad fact people didn't LAP IT UP.

 

[Raining on Me]

Honestly Loverboy (the version we got) sounds like something Ariana would have a HUGE hit with in current times. The tone, the vocals, all of it.

 

[RS]

Exactly!

In fact Ariana tried that with that Bang Bang mess.

I mean I failed remedial math but I make it 12-10 in Mariah's favour
