JLO ghost vocals controversy

[Barajas]

ammmm.. she had a lot of live vocals during the Super Bowl performace .
She is not the vocalist of our generation but defenitely no something similar to Milli Vanilli or those fake singers.

Is this for sure? I don't argue she may have used vocals from other artists, but I do believe she sings as well. What about when she sings in spanish?

Sis Thiefnnifer can't sing to save her life 

Still she somehow had the audacity to keep BRANDY's divine (lead) vocals on one of her songs  

like puta at least steal from mediocre singers

We STAN JLo, and she’s still the best female performer after (prime) Britney.

Not surprising considering that J.Lo is one of the most talentless acts out there.

The only thing that can be praised about her is her work ethic.

You need maturity to deal with other opinions.

It is not a fact that I need glasses. It is a fact you need some maturity tho judging by your comments. You’re not even making sense. Fume.

OP: JLo is a multi talented queen and the ultimate triple threat. The fact that she is the best female performer after Britney should tell you something. Recently she had the best superbowl ever only after Madonna’s, who is another queen. JLo honestly keeps winning, so I can see why some people are so jealous of her. Only the bitters hate her tho, but they don’t really matter!

I'm sorry to say this, but listen to the Jenny from the block demo (without Jennifer Lopez vocals):

It's the same actually?

Well she can sing well enough to build an empire worth more than you and your future generations will ever see. 
 

Those are facts...

And that "thing" is work ethic and drive that Mariah clearly lacks.

I mean we been knew that Jennifer's a mediocre singer, so this isn't exactly new. She makes bops though so I'll give her a pass. 

Right! 

Look, the music industry is shady AF. It's equally as disturbing as real politics when you remove all the smoke and mirrors. Ultimately, you have to accept that misogyny plays a role and at that time especially, old white men were calling all the shots. Sure, talent is important... But sexuality & the 'it' factor are more so. 

JLO could perform and probably had the ability to take these songs farther than the original singers, in the eyes of the label, producers (who want the song to chart), and A&R Reps (who are paid to select hits). Ultimately, it's all about sales, and they probably made the right decision (under that mindset). Ashanti was cool and all but... she would probably never have lasted as long as JLO, even if this was released as her song. 

I also don't think JLO back in the day was intentionally stealing ****, she probably didn't have much of a choice or say. You know when she was starting her career she was probably managed and controlled similarly to how Britney was - even if they explode on the scene it takes years for these artists, especially women, to get more creative control and power. It's probably a part of her career that she isn't proud of, and I do think she has made an effort to work on her artistry and vocals over the years, perhaps because she isn't proud of these earlier moments in her singing career.
