Jennifer Lopez 'Ain't It Funny'

Chart Peak: 3

YouTube

In addition to her blockbusting movie career, which includes starring performances in Out Of Sight, The Cell and The Wedding Planner, Jennifer Lopez can now boast a best-selling role in the world of pop - her second album grabbed the No1 spot in no less than 10 countries! Now officially off the market, Jennifer married her choreographer , Cris Judd, in California this year.
I'm not proud of my prejudices, but I have a tendency to resent people who are famous in other fields and feel like they can muscle in on pop music and be entitled to a successful career. J-Lo, as she liked to style herself at the time, always seemed to be one of those. Of course, some people agreed with her as you can see from the above success.

To be honest, 'Ain't It Funny' isn't a terrible record, in a sort of turn-of-the-century Latin pop way, but it's one that I always found curiously unappealing. And is that even her singing the chorus? Possibly the most notable thing about it is that the following year she had another hit with what was called a remix of this, though all they had in common was the title: all the other lyrics and even the entire sentiment were different, as was all the music.

Also appearing on: Now 68
