So there’s this YouTuber named Alteori who does Land Before Time reviews, and so far she has done a review for every single movie, and even a couple bonus reviews. While I know many YouTubers will try to trash the series, I like that Alteori is only critical of the movies as a fan. Her reviews are also hilarious and a lot of what she says about certain scenes and parts of each movie are usually exactly what’s on my mind while watching the same scenes. It’s also funny how she names all the characters who don’t have official names. I crack up every time she calls Grandpa Longneck “Gourmet”

So it’s come to light in recent years that Jennifer Lopez’s music career is not what it appears to be.

“If You Had My Love”:

First of all, her debut song “If You Had My Love” was actually a rip off of another song called “If I Gave Love” by a little known artist named Chante Moore, the chorus of which is eerily similar to J-Lo’s song. Additionally, if you listen closely, the chorus of the song has a different voice than J-Lo’s.

“Play”:

The chorus of this song was CONFIRMED to have Christina Milian’s vocals entirely, even by Christina Milian herself, while the chorus is J-Lo’s voice. It’s probably the most well known case of J-Lo using someone else’s voice for her music.

“I’m Real”:

I consider this title to be the most ironic, as half the song is sung by another artist. The chorus sounds NOTHING like J-Lo. This song is also an example of how Tommy Mottola, former president of Sony Records, actively tried to destroy the music career of his ex-wife, Mariah Carey. Mariah requested the rights to sample an old song for the song “Loverboy”, which she was working on at the time. However, a few weeks later, the rights were given to J-Lo instead, leaving Mariah to scramble to find another sample to use for “Loverboy”. This was due to Tommy Mottola’s shady business deals to get back at his ex-wife.

“I’m Real remix feat. Ja Rule” and “Ain’t It Funny remix feat. Ja Rule”:

Both of these songs with Ja Rule incorporate Ashanti’s voice in place of J-Lo’s. Ashanti is FAR more vocally talented than J-Lo and it shows in these songs.

“Jenny From The Block”

It seems as if we WERE fooled by the rocks that she’s got. And by rocks I mean stolen vocals. Once again, the vocals were recorded by an artists who surprisingly DOES bare some resemblance to J-Lo’s real singing voice, so she got away with it more easily.

J-Lo didn’t ad lib ALL her songs, however. I feel as though the later songs where she actually used her own voice, her voice is incredibly lackluster. Examples are “Dance Again” and “On The Floor”, in which her vocals are incredibly weak and do not sound as though they come from a legendary artist of J-Lo’s caliber, even though they are her real vocals.

With all this said, I’m not saying anything against J-Lo. In fact, I love J-Lo and her music. It’s still great music, but I still think it’s important to acknowledge the fact that she is not necessarily a talented singer and has made her music career off of using vocals from other artists.

So I’m sure many of y’all have seen the news that Britney recently broke her silence about her conservatorship. She’s been fighting it for years ever since her so-called “breakdown” in 2007. Her father Jamie supposedly was originally granted the conservatorship while she was still in the hospital without her knowledge or consent, and has been stuck in it ever since. She has no control over her finances and isn’t even allowed to get married to her boyfriend that she’s been with for 4 years. She has gained the support of her fans as well as numerous fellow celebrities. Not sure if anyone here is a fan of Britney, but I have been a fan of Britney since 1999 when her first album was released.

Most of the LBT fandom seems to hate Invasion of the Tinysauruses, but I absolutely adore it. I may have the unpopular opinion, but I thought it was incredibly cute and funny.

I also find The Secret of Saurus Rock underrated, and many fans seem to hate on that one as well. While there are some obvious errors in the movie (the rock sequence is kind of strangely rotated the wrong way when they first look out onto it from the cliff) I thought it was a great installment, and has some cute and funny moments in it.
