And those Miguel singles flopped so hard that people don't even realize they exist. Why do you think Adorn stayed on top of the R&B charts forever and why he's still performing that song as if he doesn't have any other singles? #Beautiful is only his second song to have an impact

I know EDM is dying

Hence why Live It Up is not doing well. She still had an upper hand seeing Pitbull has/had another Top 10 hit with your fave

and it [Live It Up] being a dance song. EDM songs (although plummeting) perform better than majority of the R&B songs out today

hplz:

Chances are an EDM song (Live It Up) will perform better than an R&B song (*insert artist here*)..... I mean it debuted on the Hot 100 last week when the average R&B track doesn't

You completely missing the point as per usual. You said that #Beautiful is the follow up to Adorn when it isn't so stop backtracking. All those songs flopped so best believe this one would've flopped if Miguel had released it himself.

You bringing that up trying to discredit once again doesn't work seeing that Adorn peaked @ #17 on Hot 100 while #Beautiful is already @ #20 in its second week. It is already shaping up to be his biggest hit and a bigger hit that Adorn.

Stay pressed and delusional as always though. See ya in the next Mariah or P!nk thread.

Jlo almost fell on AI bitch thought she was Beyonce. Jlo is constantly stealing from people. Not to mention her average all around success. She's just basic. She might have smashed in 2001 when she STOLE from Mariah and On The Floor might have smashed but no one is here for that anymore. Watch her go back to being sample stealing hoe.

Chile sis..

Genocide

Anyone can beat Jlo nowdays. She has been at an all-time-low music wise for years.

@XOXO Again the beyhive

1st Jennifer never thought she was Beyonce. It was always the opposite thing, or do you want me to remind you of the fact that Beyonce is basically a carbon copy of what Jen did and already has done?

2nd She did not steal anything from Mariah or anyone else. Ask Billboard who's the one stealing from others.

3rd her music career was big enough to make you such a jealous loser.

4th Are you okay, sis? I think you seek mental health care, and congratulations for the warning btw.

So you acknowledge EDM isn't in, but then go on to claim she still had the upper hand? What kind of same sentence contradiction!?

And it's not true that dance music is doing better than urban music. Right now, urban music is having a major resurgence. What do you call the current #1 and the longest running #1 this year? What do you call those Justin Timberlake songs? What do you call Robin Thicke's song that just flew to #1 on iTunes or even the last two Bruno Mars songs? Even the dance songs that are doing well like Get Lucky and Harlem Shake have more of an urban/R&B influence than the EDM/dance of the past.

When was the last time a EDM/dance song went Top 5 on The Hot 100? How many EDM/Dance songs have even gone Top 5 this year? This is not 2011.

Even Ciara's R&B song is doing better than Jason DeRulo's EDM single!

So you're completely wrong on the chance of an EDM single doing better than an R&B one right now. You're either making excuses or just really ignorant about the charts, or most likely a combination of both

And since English is your second language that explains why you didn't understand what I said about Adorn. I said it was ESSENTIALLY his first single since his breakthrough. I know he had other singles but they were basically non existent. So don't even try it

LOL The irony. Talk about describing yourself better than any mirror could though

And we know you're going to reply to this anyway

And if you dont' reply, we'll know you didn't because you didn't want to do what I said you would

I'm going to say that #Beautiful is an immensely better track than Live It Up. I actually think Live It Up is one of the worst songs of 2013. J-Lo really sold herself short. I don't Jennifer will repeat this mistake again though (hopefully). Mariah, like someone else mentioned, has always been bigger than JLO other than when JLo was poppin' from 1999-2001 (Glitter + Charmbracelet). On The Floor did so well for JLo but both Mariah's latest studio album and Christmas albums performed better than Love? did.

I will say however, as @Isou-44 put nicely, both these women are different and are successful in their own ways. It is more than wonderful having women over 40 years of age being played on the radio etc. Respect both women for their individual accomplishments.

@Isou-44

"....following reports that Jennifer Lopez and Tommy Mottola (Carey's ex-husband) stole the idea of sampling the singer's original planned sample, Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Firecracker", over a month after Carey had signed for it. Since Carey's Glitter was to be released over a month after Lopez's album, she changed the song's melody to sample from "Candy" instead."

There was a speculation about JLo and Tommy stealing a song sample from Mariah during Glitter era.

This pointless discussion should stop here.

Btw, we know Mariah's ex-husband had something against her so he wanted to give that sample to JLo instead of MC, that's the story, but I don't see why JLo should be involved into this mess anyway and we have no proof as why JLo would do something against Mariah. They were both singers who used to work with the same person who was actually Mariah's ex-husband, Tommy, this is the only common point between JLo and MC.
