Usher Flustered Over New J-Lo Song
R&B star Usher is none too happy about Jennifer Lopez's new record "Get Right" — as readers of this column will remember from last week.
That's because Usher already recorded "Get Right" as a single called "Ride" that wasn't included on his most recent album, "Confessions," but was available as a 12-inch club record and on the Internet last year.
Rich Harrison produced both "Ride" and "Get Right," putting the same horn track on each record as well as crafting the same vocal guidelines.
The only difference is that "Get Right" gets its title right from rapper Fabolous, who had a rap song of the same name that was grafted onto Lopez's record.
Usher is furious, according to my sources. When someone asked him about the contretemps last week, the younger and more original singer responded by saying, "I hate it. And I'd better get some of the publishing [rights]."
Usher co-wrote "Ride," but didn't put it on the multi-platinum "Confessions" because, he told friends, "I couldn't get it right."
His fans would disagree. "Ride" is a popular download, even if the horn solo is screechy and flat.
"Get Right" does not mark the first time Lopez has appropriated other people's material for her own use.
When she remade "I'm Real" with rapper Ja Rule, it was due to an inside tip from Tommy Mottola that Mariah Carey had done something similar with the same music sample. The "steal" upended Carey's plans for her ill-fated "Glitter" soundtrack.
In the meantime, J-Lo is struggling to make deadlines at Sony Music for her new album, "Rebirth," which is due in March and will contain "Get Right."
She recently rejected footage that was shot for a DVD promo video documentary after her new-ish manager, film producer Simon Fields, OK'd it without her permission.
My sources within Sony say that Lopez spent the better part of yesterday re-shooting the video to be more flattering and less revealing of her "limited" vocal range and disarming working style.
More importantly, the word from J-Lo's world is that new (and third) husband, Marc Anthony — that's third not counting ex-boyfriends Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Ben Affleck — is calling the shots in a big way.
Anthony, said to still be in the thrall of the couple's low-key but sudden wedding, is helping shape the sound of "Rebirth" with producer Cory Rooney.
The couple may have a duet on the album, and Anthony has written at least one of the songs. Unlike previous Lopez consorts, however, Anthony's influence has been welcomed by those around the famously caboosed singer.
And what of Lopez's fading movie career? I'm told that she, Jane Fonda and the rest of the cast of "Monster-in-Law," which is due for a May release from New Line, are returning imminently to fix a couple of scenes before the picture is "locked."
Lopez is said to be worlds better in this movie than in previous outings, mostly thanks to so many scenes with the legendary and acclaimed Fonda.

She didn't steal anyhting from them. She just used the same sample. The Beatnuts stole it just like she did. You make it sound like the Beatnuts composed it.

yeah, it's kinda funny, even though sampling that flute was a good idea and she copied the sample. But then, nobody hated on Nas for jacking "For The Love Of You" when THUG LIFE and i think others had done it long before (compare "Good Morning" (Nas) and "Bury Me A G" (THUG LIFE)...same beat basically, same Isley Bros. sample)
-
the younger and more original singer responded by saying...
LMAO

-
