[quote=Anonymous][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]

Mariah and Whitney actually started as ghost/ demo singers/ background singers  back in the 80s . They used to sing the demos written by  songwriters so the songwriters (who can’t sing) can shop those songs to other established artists in the industry. But back then, artists didn’t dare keep the full demo vocals at 100% volume in the mix of the actual recording .

Mariah was also a  back up singer for another Puerto Rican singer named [b]Brenda K Starr[/b]. Brenda also  used to auditioned with her band and singers at the same studio J Los dance company rehearsed. There’s a rumor Mariah and Jennifer’s feud goes back to these years in Manhattan because they shared mutual friends and saw each other during  industry run ins [/quote]
