Jennifer Lopez - This Is Me… Now (2023)

[Zaacc]

Play is such a great pop song, and is oft forgotten. Myself included. So much fucking fun.

 

[Laurent]

Ok but can we shoehorn 'Play' Pt.2 on the new record please?

I love Christina Milian as much as the next 20-something gay but how is she still getting invited to any industry event circa 2023? Gotta appreciate the hustle.

She deserves her flowers after all these years.

I mean, she's the lead actress in two very popular recent Netflix romcoms. Even if she's not setting the charts alight anymore, she's hardly a has-been.

 

[Vasilios]

She didn't even top the charts much in her heyday.

AM to PM definitely topped the charts in my heart for months though.

Ever since Prince name-checked Milian in one of his songs I assumed she must have more clout than her pop success alone would suggest.

Christina Milian's It's About Time album... whew, what a smash.

I wish she had more success.

I mean I'd act nice to someone who I made bank through a writing credit on.

Tell that to Linda Perry

Dip It Low was Christina's only real hit in the US. Her debut album was never released there, It's About Time stalled after the second single only just grazed the Hot 100, and So Amazin' plunged so quickly on the charts that she was dropped by Def Jam within a month of its release.

She was a decent enough popstar but didn't really have anything to make her stand out from the pack; I doubt Play would have made much of a difference to her career path had she released it herself.

Prince would stan anyone, though. Like he was a Carmen Electra and Rita Ora stan.

4U EP earned Ms. Milian the right to attend these events in perpetuity.


Cute rebuttal to the overblown situation between them too.

Taste!

I never forget it. It’s the only J.Lo song I still stan hard at any opportunity.

Jennifer herself is the one who tries to have people forget it. Ignoring it on her hits compilation was a crime.

Christina was a great popstar and legitimately quite big in the UK at one point, but seemed hellbent on chasing success in America/urban radio. Turning down SOS in favour of Say I just shows that she didn't get the vision. She could've been headlining Mighty Hoopla had she stuck it out with the girly pop bangers for just a bit longer.

This. “AM to PM” and “Play” were sounds that really worked for her. Her R&B songs are all ass in my opinion, bar “Dip It Low”.

But she seems happy now so good for her doing it her way.

 

[Island]

Christina’s first album is a teen-pop classic.

 

[Andy French]

AM to PM is that Radio Disney bop. Sneakernight wishes

The way his Rita collab killed him. Radiation!

OMG SCREAMMMM

Gotta respect the hustle, but where is the music?
