Who needs American Idol? Jennifer Lopez is focusing her energy on the second wave of her music career, and there’s no better way to kick things off than latching onto one of the music scene’s hot new things. Her new label-mate Taio Cruz is the “hot new thing” in this case, as J-Lo finds herself on the remix of Cruz’s smash “Dynamite.” Check it out below.

We haven’t heard any new music from Lopez in a spell, and after listening to her contribution to this remix, we feel as though we still haven’t.

Lopez’s vocals show up briefly during her own verse, and she sings backup (at least we think she does, smothered under a frightening amount of Auto-Tune) on the chorus. Besides that, this version is virtually identical to the original. Listen once, then feel free to move on.
