[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waiting for Tonight deserved a Best Dance Recording Grammy. She is criminally underrated. [/quote]

She really isn’t considering she uses uncredited black artist as ghost singers on most of her hits. A large majority of her chorus were sung by Ashanti, Brandi, etc.[/quote]

Everyone uses ghost singers/background singers especially on dance pop records . Madonna used background singers most obviously on her first album especially on Holiday and Lucky Star. Mariah C. as well. Beyonce had Destinys Child background vocals on all her early recordings.   Taylor has used Lana Del Rey’s vocals on some of her songs which is why she thanked her so pointedly at the last Grammy Awards.

Britney also had the demo recordings stil loud in the mix  on all her hits. Toxic is mostly Cathy Dennis’s vocals esp the high notes .

J Lo somehow gets maligned for things  that are standard pop star practice .  I don’t understand why she gets maligned for being a manufactured pop star[/quote]

This. Pop is a heavily manufactured musical genre and is much more about stage presence, dance, hooks, and having an appealing persona. JLo is a genuinely talented dancer who works really hard at her routines for videos and concerts -- she's a perfectionist. It's not like she's styled herself as a virtuosic singer like Mariah or Whitney and it's a sham. She's exactly what she appears to be -- I dance-focused pop act with Latin influence.[/quote]

I don’t see how J Los rise to popstar is any more unseemly than the underage teeny boppers pushed into the industry by stage  parents (Britney, Justin Timberlake, Christina, Justin Bieber).

Jennifer was 30 years old when her first album came out in 1999 and she went #1 with hits during the same era as the teeny bopper/bubblegum pop explosion . Highly unusual success for an artist at that age. Jennifer’s entire career is very dramatic much like her love life  in that she reaches very great highs and then very bad career lows .  But somehow, she always comes back from the lows [/quote]
