Mariah dad is Venezuelan & White American mom. I think Mariah is Jealous because she not as Sexy n doesn't have that Latina flare. I also think jlo kinda Jealous of Mariah Because she not as Iconic or truly TALENTED. Oh well I still like JLO.

[@joshroberts1936]

Jlo's record label was responsible for it too mostly though , Mariah's ex Tommy was actually using her to do the same to Mariah Record labels are the shadier bunch artists are just tools most of the time they have little control over their music clearly they thought jlos voice wasnt strong enough and left other peoples vocals there lol Ashanti and jlo actually sound so alike on those songs I do think jlo has improved as a singer since then though at least she took vocal lessons since , she's not the best but a improvement The live clip at the end though lol

None of these is stealing, everyone was paid or properly credited. She made deals with these people to use what she used

[@olavihekandjo2928]

@@ciruwiru what do you mean she never sung? She sang, she just used other people's vocals to add effects... Artists regularly leave demo vocals on the chorus just cause it sounded better.

[@RosterTags]

As a Latina, I wanna say JLo AIN'T SHIT! She lip-synched all of Selena's songs for the movie that hyped her up so damn much it got her thinking he could actually sing.

[@cff9581]

So glad Amarie got One Thing to the radio stations before Jennifer Lopez could take it, Amarie actually has talent and deserved her success

[@MitchellWiggs]

“[Tommy Motolla] wanted Jennifer to compete with Mariah” LOL

[@Yashioki]

Right! LOL in what planet.

[@saxopio6280]

Tommy knew there was no competition vocally between J Lo and Mariah, which is why he chose someone who could not sing just to be extra messy.

Amerie - 1 thing will forever be 🔥🔥🔥

Its crazy to hear jlo tried to steal that one, too! Can u imagine Jlos version of that? 😩😩

[@munchkineatsalotvent9899]

I love amerie

[@girlpowerbutmakeitblack2655]

Lea Brown it would probably be the same track with a little ooh and aahs from JLO

[@soniak2553]

Damn no wonder why she was never out of breath when performing cause she was only dancing 😭

[@tsfbaf303]

No, she’s at least singing at some performances or it wouldn’t sound so horrible and hoarse. She certainly is fit, and if you look at singers like Pink, you know it is possible to dance and sing good; just Jlo can’t do it right.

[@yeaxjustsmile20]

Whenever I heard “Jlo’s” music I always said I heard this before lmao

[@snobunni4808]

yeaxjustsmile20 me too!!!

[@montecarlo83ss]

My mind is completely blown. I liked all those songs by JLo when they came out and didn't notice at the time how obvious it is that she wasn't singing most of it. The Selena movie made me think that she could sing, and the illusion went on from there 🙄

[@flyleelee5351]

Im kinda glad they kept Selenas vocals. Can u imagine jlo singing it? 😩...I think it keeps the integrity of the movie, too. For example, I don't like how they had Beyonce sing as Etta James in Cadillac records. All I saw was Beyonce

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

I knew she was lip-syncing to Selena's voice. The family wanted that.

[@joannajamerson35]

Um...selenas parents wanted her voice heard.

[@christianrodriguez5069]

True but they were straight up about her Selena vocals saying she had to lip sync as it would be diarespectful to the memory of Selena

I'm glad they kept Selena' s vocals in the movie cuz it made me a huge fan of hers. I love watching videos of Selena performing live 😍

[@sequoyagriffin]

Do you want to know one of the things I LOVE about Selena Quintanilla Perez? She drew inspiration from all musical styles. Her song “Fotos y Recuerdos” is much like “Back on the Chain Gang” by the rock group The Pretenders. Selena loved the song so much and that’s why she heavily sampled it. But guess what she did out of admiration and integrity? She listed Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders as the sole songwriter of “Fotos y Recuerdos”! She gave credit where it was due.

[@hagee2995]

I remember how she wouldn't do live concerts back in the day. now I know why. smdh #IDONTKNOWHER

@ChubbyBunny Rivera everyone paid. Those are just demo vocals they decided to keep... The singer is paid for that.

[@lunaticdelrey5263]

It sounds ghostly

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

@@olavihekandjo2928 Not always... as a teenager, I did vocals for a producer. I only met him because my friend was a musician that passed away and after singing at his funeral, his father asked to work with me. I went downtown to the studio, which was upstairs within a restaurant, recorded the vocals- in addition to female vocals that were on the track that the producer "didn't want to use". They were given my number, email address, and other contact information, but no demo was ever sent to me. I didn't want the song for anything other than my portfolio since I was only a freshman at Detroit School of Arts, but I learned very quickly the importance of getting things in writing as well as loopholes in contracts. Fast forward and I have a professional local band, Eminent Vibrations (and apparently youtube videos that haven't been uploading so I stick to facebook live), and my heart goes out to young, exploited musicians on both sides. Millivanilli took the fall for something that essentially their producer did. The same thing "could" be happening here with J-Lo, but she seems less apologetic about it than they did. Not to mention, while not as soulful as the singer's voices they were known for, with more training, they could've come into their own. You're absolutely correct that many of these vocalists were compensated, but not all were.

[@olavihekandjo2928]

@@BettyAlexandriaPride this isn't the case with jlo, if you notice most of the examples given here are of established artists or songwriters sending her songs and her keep the vocals then this video simply assumes she stole them. Then tries to insinuate that it's cause she couldn't do the vocals when most of them sound like her and she performs those songs live....

so my question is .... if it's BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that she's not singing any of her songs especially her hits ... why was she not given the same treatment as like a Milli Vanilli ?

[@eznosnopes5276]

Complexion for the protection.

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

Probably because she's at least singing something on the songs. Her voice is either mixed on top of someone else's or she does ad-libs where you know it's her. It's not like the whole song is not her singing at all. Like Milli Vanilli was.

Michael Jackson told us Tommy Matola was evil. He used tap Mariahs phone. I mean he's thug. But this explains why Mariah doesn't like her. Jennifer is not an artist and her career is fraudulent it's amazing. She literally had everything given to her. It's sickening.

[@nikkigiovanni5723]

That is why Mariah had her breakdown. I found it odd that it happened to her cause I feel like she is a strong woman.

I mean how does a backing dancer for Janet Jackson suddenly becomes this big blasting out hits star from out of no where? I think we all know here!!!

[@geisha7755]

and what makes it even worse is how much Jennifer puts down other women. Like how she referred to Madonna and Cher's acting. Actually pretty much anytime another women is brought up she finds some way to shade them or outright put them down.

@Marisa 07 Yeah it's for all races of course. But have you noticed that anytime JLO got a song it was always stolen from Black Women. And then performs Motown. Which is mainly related with Black people. Idk if it's intentional but everytime something happens with JLO and any music opporunity, for some reason. It's always like, Black related. And also, when has JLO ever dabbled in the Soul Genre of music? It was such a weird choice.
