Jennifer Lopez Debuts Music Video 'On the Floor' Feat. Pitbull

By AOL Music Editors Posted Mar 4th 2011 02:50AM

She might still be 'Jenny From the Block,' but Jennifer Lopez has come a long way, baby.

Currently a high-profile judge in the television series 'American Idol,' Lopez will release a new album on April 19 entitled 'Love?' But, for her fans and followers, there need not be a question mark attached -- Lopez stormed the Billboard Hot 100 on Thursday with the album's first single, 'On the Floor,' landing her in the top 10.

It's a position she's been in before, sure, but it's been a full eight years since she's seen that kind of love -- and she's been engaged and/or married more than once since then.

In a move that demonstrates the kind of genius marketing and branding Lopez -- aka J.Lo -- has employed during her entire career, the digital release for 'On the Floor' (featuring Pitbull) was synced with its video premiere on 'American Idol' on Thursday. Watch the video after the jump.

The immediate success of 'On the Floor,' -- perhaps partially propelled by her 'American Idol' status -- marks a comeback of sorts for Lopez, who suffered two commercial failures with her previous two albums, following a string of unstoppable successes during the early 2000s.

In 2009, many saw an omen in circumstance when she fell down and busted her highly insured behind at the American Music Awards. Lopez has since dusted off and, indeed, appears to have put all that behind her, so to speak. These days, she's crushing it.

I love the song and love the video, shows that JLo is back. And shes looking better than ever.

By forkuu

i will bet anything that the people knocking the song are from the sticks . this is an ultra hip club tune made for people who party in ultra sophisticated hip clubs some thing you hicks wouldnt know anything about or understand
and please no responses its clear you dont get it
and nothing you can say now can redeem your square butts

By Woody

You are such a douche bag. I'm not from "the stcks", and I thought it sucked. JLo has a very good singing voice, so why does she reduce herself to doing this Rap Crap?

By Alyce

I wonder if she wasn't as beautiful would people like her as much as they do. Is she really the triple threat they claimed she is( or was)? She's just blessed to have met the people she has met along the way. I wonder if her voice on another face/body would have ever gotten her a record deal. I doubt it.

By jennifer

i agree the video and song sucks she could have done the whole thing better then that,and i feel sorry for pitbull cause he had to work with her.

By Zandra

The first thought that came to mind when we saw Jennifer's video was how much it sounded and looked just like a Britney Spears video. I like both performers but prefer Jennifer to be Jennifer not Britney.

By Robert

as usual these days, stealing music from 80's singers and songs-she is using kaomas, lambada in the melody, so un original-2000's and current music has been so desposible, doesn't anyone sing about something other than the dancefloor and sexing women up anymore????????

By adi

The video is ok. The music is a copy infringement to the song Lambada (Brazilian)which became very popular in the early 90's look it up on youtube.

The original song is actually from Los Kjarkas called Llorando Se Fue. The lambada song was a copy.

Jennifer the record is hot!!! you did the right choice in choosing PitBull. Everything about the song is great. I know this will be a number 1 song soon. Congraduations.

By JoeyO'H

I thought the song was very cool. It has a dance club retro feel to it. The beat is too fast and would have to be slowed down for the dance floor. The video was just okay from me dawg!

By MYRNA

Jennifer congraduations on the song it is hot. You did the right choice having PitBull perform in it. Everything from the singing to the dancing is great.

By LARA

SHE LOOKS TOO TOO OLD FOR THIS TYPE OF VIDEO

By Gabrielle

J.Lo does it again. Yes

By Tena

I'm just wondering can JLo not do a Video with the Fan Blowing her long fake hair or her rubbing her hands thru her hair or her face... And let's not forget those oh so parted lips of her's ... The women is so phony it's sickening and she shouldn't be on AI at all, she's horrible as a judge but then so is Randy and Steven.. Bring back Simon!!!

How can anyone tell if she sang at all? her voice was so synthesized and manipulated. She is just beyond awful. She is mediocre,and if she wasn't pretty,no one would notice her at all. What I saw and heard sounded like every other "pop" crap that every other "pop star" puts out. I called that "pop hop". Some dreadful never-was, covering up her non-existent voice,and trying to look like a hip-hop artist or something. It was like soft hip-hop,but hip-hop sucks,Jennifer Lopez sucks and the video was one of thousand videos that will be forgotten within a year. Jennifer,you should get down on your knees and thank God for the twelve year-old boys and girls who buy your space-wasting,so-called music. Excuse me while I go wash my eyes! Maybe I can flush out those horrible images. UGH!
