Leave “Us” Alone? Are everyone's preferences welcome here? – I prefer speaking for myself, thanks anyway.

With that said: yes, I liked J.Lo's version better. It sounds like she's mov-ing with the words, putting more energy into it. The song was growing on me.

Brandy did a good job with that first stanza, but after that it was perfunctory. She sounded mechanical the rest of the way. It's not the greatest song, but she could have done more with it.

@Ede: Honestly, I don’t usually approve comments that are as patently incoherent as yours, but I let it through just so I can figure out exactly what you’re trying to say here. If you think that my being disenchanted with consumerism-for-its-own-sake rhetoric by a past-her-prime celebrity who’s ineptly trying to re-establish herself as a pop star — and in the process, spending WAY TOO MUCH of someone else’s money in order to do so, resulting in actual people who aren’t in her income stratosphere eventually getting screwed — somehow makes me an “unrully [sic] racist” who is also misogynist (lololol) and somehow Taliban-esque, then I can’t help you. If you’re just a Jennifer Lopez stan who is sad that your heroine has landed in the “no one really cares anymore beyond desperate-for-material gossip columnists” pool,” then I guess all I can say is I’m sorry?

If writers weren’t unrully racists, would they find work in our new anti-woman Taliban culture?

But even under such rules, is obscene rudeness really necessary? How about a semblance of civilization? (As fascism dictates, this will not be posted).

@Nicolars: She has a weird way of getting in your head, and when I think back to the actual J.Lo album (which I loved as a teenager, confessions ya'll), I think she once had quite a good ear for pop muzak. But I just don't think she's a pop entity anymore; she lacks any sort of charisma or mystery or any character traits that make her a member of the pop world, becoming just some lady who is only allowed to make records because of What Once Was. I do kind of wish she could pull out a comeback though, nostalgia and redemption and all being what they are. I appreciate greatly Maura that you insist on using this kooky ass picture for every J.Lo post.

The title for this post is brilliant and needs to be utilized more often:

Dear __________ : Why Don’t You Just Take All Your Money And Go Away Somewhere Fancy, And Leave Us Alone?

You know, as much as I want to hate this I have a feeling I will end up liking it, like I do with most Jlo songs.

I said this on a different forum but I want Brandy to get behind the wheel of her Range Rover and take back what is hers.
