“Pop music is commercial art the way Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans were commercial art. I don’t know why everyone is so against pop music. I love a good chorus – sue me. It’s that fucking simple.” - Lady Gaga

Just Arrived: Jennifer Lopez's 'On The Floor'




Jennifer Lopez. Holy fuck. This woman is making a grand comeback. Since the first time I listen to this tune months ago (way before this blog started) I predicted this song would catapult Mrs. Anthony back into the musical spotlight and crush the charts….and….what has happened? She just knocked Gaga’s Born This Way off the iTunes chart and her video is close to reach 3 million viewers in less than two days. Yes, becoming a new judge on American Idol does help (and she's fab on it by the way). As for the video it’s nothing THAT special. It’s your typical J.LO video dancing in a club and she looking perfection from all angle, but can you fucking believe she popped out twin babies and still could look this ridiculous? Jennifer Hudson also slimmed down with the pregnancy scenario. Maybe this is the solution to solve woman’s obesity. Plus, she still got those dance moves….Britney why? J.LO is freaking 41 and you’re not even 30!

The only issue I have with Ms. Lopez now like every album is that she shows no growth in her music and visuals. What we saw during her debut album On The Six era and today it’s still all the same ball game. On The Floor is like the exact copy of Waiting for Tonight without the laser jungle visuals. I want to see an evolution and she can still stick to the club vibe, but she needs to elevate it up. Still, with RedOne attached to her latest CD…I’m sure the Jenny From The Block will continue to go to the bank.
