5.0 out of 5 stars aint it funny (j. lo), October 20, 2001

This review is from: Ain't It Funny - England (Audio CD)

J. lo is definetely the BEST spanish singer I heard. Her single "Aint It Funny" is SO MUCH better than her first 4 singles, "Love Don't Cost a Thing", "Play", "I'm Real", and "I'm Real (Murder Remix f/ Ja Rule)". When I bought the J.lo album, I didn't really listen to "Aint It funny" until it came on after I was listening to "Walking On Sunshine", another hot j.lo song. So, I bought the single after I heard it. It is great. Here's what I think:

1) Aint It Funny (ALBUM VERSION)- It is strait off the album and has a GREAT trumpet intro!

2) Aint It Funny (SILK HOUSE MIX PT. 1 AND 2)- A good remix. A pretty long intro with the trumpet dubbed a bit, but this isn't the greatest remix I've heard.

3) Aint It Funny (BRANDNEW EXTENDED)- The 2nd best mix on the single. It has a great chorus intro and it keeps the beat going. Listen to this one first if you plan on buying it.

4) Aint It Funny (TROPICAL DANCE REMIX)- The 3rd best remix on the cd. It has a darkside intro and then gets to the hot spanish beat. Speaking of Spanish, the whole song is in spanish, but doesn't include the spanish rap as in the D'Hip Mix.

5)Aint It Funny (MURDER REMIX F/ JA RULE)- Whole new set of words. I hate it when they do that. It sounds good though

6) Aint it funny (D'HIP MIX)- #1 remix! Best track on the cd! Nice and slow and contains a kickin' rap from some rapper. But, it's in spanish and it sounds great! Please listen to this!

THAT'S IT. C YA

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding if you like J-Lo's Latin styles., August 14, 2001

If you like the original "album version" found on J-Lo, you will love this single. If you are looking for American style club mixes, don't bother unless you are a diehard J-Lo fan.

1) Album Version - Straight off the J-Lo CD. This song was instantly my favorite on the album, so I've been waiting for this single.

2) Silk's House Mix (8:28) - This is a standard, techno-style club mix that speeds the tempo up to 140 beats per minute (as opposed to 115bpm on the original). The mix eliminates all of the Latin flavor. The last few minutes kind of drags with mostly just a drum beat. It sounds like Silk added it as a long transition to mix into the next song when he's playing a club.

3) Brandnew Extended (4:54) - A better club-style mix at the same tempo as the original. Eliminates the background music except for a solid, electronic drum beat behind the singing and a transitional melody from the original album version.

4) Tropical Dance Remix (3:49) - This remix is very similar to the original album version, but it is entirely in Spanish, and cuts most of the intro & fade-out. The background music is slightly different than the original, and the background singers are different. The tempo is slightly faster at 120bpm. This is a very good remix if you like J-Lo's Latin influences.

5) D'Hip Mix (4:20) - This remix is my favorite by far. It's slightly slower than the original (110bpm) and has a solid, Latin style to it. This mix is entirely in Spanish and includes a 20 second Spanish rap by "D'Shon" toward the end of the song.

Summary: If you like the original album version of this song and you like Jennifer Lopez' Latin influenced music (e.g. Carino, Let's Get Loud, Dame, Si Ya Se Acabo, etc.) then you will absolutely LOVE this single, and it will be well worth the money. If you don't think the album version of this song is your thing, then the single isn't for you...that's why it was only released as an international single. I gave this release 5 stars because Jenni's Latin-styled music is my favorite. If you are looking for something in the American-style club mixes, go with the "Play" or "Waiting For Tonight" single instead. If I were rating this release based on her club-style music, I would have given it 2.5 or 3 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars latin soul, July 29, 2001

This review is from: Ain't It Funny - England (Audio CD)

AIN'T IT FUNNY is her next international single, that is already rising on the U.K charts.This latin soulful song is across the lines of Enrique Iglesias's BAILAMOS, then breaks down into the sound of Madonna's LA ISLA BONITA.Her voice sounds more improved in the track, wich gives off a great soulful vibe.A must for any j~lo fan!!!!...
