Ditto the Ain't It Funny remix, but with Ashanti's vocals. I just put that song on and they are so clear. The best laugh is when Lopez mimes along to other peoples vocals in her videos. The fool!

'Baby, I Love You!' is definitely one of the most awful songs ever to be released as a single. I almost feel hurt by this sentiment, actually. "Baby, I Love You!", in its original vinyl edition, is one of the most expensive singles I ever bought, and I love it. I even like the Ramones' version of it. It's kind of funny that we have a famous version from each of the three New York boroughs I've been to - the Ronettes were from Manhattan (Spanish Harlem) and the Ramones from Brooklyn. But of course, J.Lo's is another song. And I like that one too. She sounds a little harsh and un-melodic, but that adds authenticity and credibility to the performance. Maybe not the most Pop of qualities, but they're fine in small doses anyway. And her non-makeup makeup in the video is good too. She's forever a clown though.

I quite like Baby I Love U as well, despite having hated it at first... it's sweet and nonoffensive (which is more than we can say about most of her singles, especially from this vile new album). Still, nothing beats I'm Glad, really... especially the video. Weren't they in the talks to remake Flashdance with J.Lo as the lead actress?
If You Had My Love, Play, and Ain't It Funny were quite good, too, as was Waiting for Tonight (but that goes without saying). For every good single she releases a shit single, it seems. She needs to go back to her pop roots!

I could spend all day listening to Play deciphering where milians vocals appear. They are so clear. What a shit stick that must have been for J. Lo "Oh by the way J. Lo we replaced most of your vocals with an up and coming popstar. She's half your age and can sing" Well, yes, and no. Milian wrote the song the same week as she did "AM to PM"; i assume she demo'd or recorded it first (whatever) and they let J. Lo sing-a-long to it. Apparently the same with Ashanti (co-)writing the remix to Ain't It Funny, although supposedly Lopez had trouble doing the vocals in the chorus.
