didn't J-Lo tour? I thought that one husband of hers, Chris something, was a dancer in her tour? Or was it just for her videos. J-Lo seems reasonable to me. Do we really see her sing live anywhere?

The only time I've seen her sing "live" is one year on the Grammy's I think it was she did a duet with her skeletonized husband. They were in some ridiculous boudoir tableau singing in Spanish about breaking up. It sucked. May or may not have been recorded, I don't know.

Read the timeline on the concerts. Did Jlo tour in 2001? She is a strong possibility, too. Madonna had a huge hit and tour that year. I listened to a youtube of Madonna's Drowning tour. It's hard to tell, although the voice does sound youthful.

I dunno if Madge doesn't sing her own songs. I think her voice is seriously augmented when she records, and also when she performs live. But I think it IS her voice. JLo, OTOH... I think I'll jump on the JLo bandwagon. I've never liked her anyways, and I think she's also the world's worst actress, so if her career got blown to smithereens, it wouldn't bother me!

The problem with the JLo guess is that when the BI was originally written, she hadn't toured and she still hasn't done "hundreds" of concerts worldwide.

Man. I'm stymied, too. Tish, you still leaning towards Britney?

I think either the timeline is fudged on this bi and the events happened a few years earlier or the reference to touring is exaggerated and the answer is J-Lo.

She performed live in Puerto Rico in 2001, here are some reviews complaining about her music being taped: Disappointed in Live Concert IMDB Reviews

I think he did state that the timeline is intentionally deceptive so I'm not sure how much we can rely on that to figure this out. Thanks for posting this, Tishala. If it is true, it is very interesting and in any event it is entertaining.

JLo's songs are all so overdubbed, like Britney or Janet's. I'm sure they don't have the voices to sing live. Though JLo's songs sound like her speaking voice.

If the timeline is really fudged. The only one who would blow me away would be Whitney Houston. Everybody else, not so much. But if this story is really true and she is very famous, how in the world it was never leaked before? I know they have to sign confidentiality contracts, but nothing is ever really kept a secret for to long.

I wouldn't be the least bit blown away if it was JLo. Her break-through was the movie Selena in which she, herself, didn't sing a lick. She's very good at lip-syncing. People have known for some time that she can't really sing. And yes, it was with Mark Anthony holding her hand in a boudoir that she first sang live. I don't think the music world would be "rocked" by this "revelation". LOL

I think it would hurt/upset the Latino community a great deal of it were J-Lo and that could have spillover into the music industry. Will this eventually be revealed??

What about them? I'm not sure what you are saying, Lexie. Of course they would have the right to feel hurt also. Did you feel I suggested they wouldn't? I was merely responding to Beekind's post about the music industry not being rocked by the BI being J-Lo, and my post made a point about a manner in which I thought the music industry could be affected.

I doubt the music industry cares one way or another about JLo's music making. I agree with you, Hermie. People are paying exorbitant ticket prices lately anyway to go see people lip synching like Britney or Janet Jackson. It seems most of them just don't care. It's sad really. If I am paying to go see someone sing live, I want them to sing live.

I think they'll still love her. She is about much more than her music. The industry itself won't be rocked, I don't think. Perhaps some people (fans) will be, but she'll find ways to move on. She always does. I'm curious, is the person putting the blind item out there going to give more "clues"? Or going to ultimately come out and spill?

I may be jaded, but I can't think of a single person who this would upset me about, lol ... I guess I've seen on too many shows someone singing 'live' and sounding a hot mess, but really good recorded *cough*TaylorSwift*cough*

You know, when JLo did Selena there was quite a bit of controversy because the Latino community felt she was the wrong person. After seeing her performance, they embraced her. This is from Wiki, because they can say it better than I: During pre-production, Mexican-American activists were highly critical that Jennifer Lopez, a New York City native born to Puerto Rican parents, was selected to play Selena. They preferred an actress with Mexican roots. However, after seeing Lopez's portrayal of Selena, they revised their opinions and were more accepting of Nava's decision.

The person is putting out clues all week--one per day. But because he is an entertainment lawyer, he cannot reveal the answer because it would break confidentiality agreements. A couple other things: S has since died of had breast cancer, but I doubt we would know who she is because she was "just" a sessions/commercials singer. Here is a link to all the MV related posts on the blog.

Thanks, Tish. Poor S. I'm sure, whoever she was, I enjoyed her music, so I thank her for that.
