Jennifer Lopez Ripped Off Kat DeLuna
Not only does 41-year-old Jennifer Lopezs new single On the Floor bear an uncanny resemblance to 23-year-old Kat DeLunas single Party OClock that was released in Europe last fall, but now so does Jennifers video. In a behind the scenes clip of the making of for Lopezs music video, there are a few scenes which seem straight ripped from Kats. Please explain this, Gatecrasher!
When J.Los video is compared to the clip for Party OClock, there are frames in which the singers look as if they dressed from the same wardrobe.
In Party OClock, DeLuna rocks leopard-print leggings and a black strapless leotard as she gyrates in a club scene.
In her video, J.Lo dons a blue leopard-print leotard with dark blue leopard leggings. According to a source who scrutinized a rough cut of Lopezs video, J.Lo also imitates DeLunas dance hall moves as she gyrates in a club scene.
The fact that RedOne produced both singles could account for the lyrical similarities but not for the video. A source argues that Lopezs video is inspired by DeLunas and all J.Lo did was give Kats vision a bigger budget. So, you see, Jennifer is actually helping Kat. If anything, Kat should be thanking her. Or not.
A former Sony BMG employee says this isnt the first time Lopez has been inspired by Kat. Back in 2007, they both recorded for the same record company. DeLuna was working on her first album and her label suggested using the song Miles in These Shoes as her first single.
Jennifer laughed a hearty laugh, p! ointed h er bony finger at record execs and told them to bring the song and some donuts to her. She specifically urged executives to withdraw the song from Kat so she could record it for the 2007 album Brave.
On Wednesday, DeLuna may have had enough and through a spokespersons said:
Ive seen this before, where the more established artist tries to take the vision and artistic ideas away from an emerging artist, and assumes no one will notice because of their bigger shadow, DeLuna said through her spokesman. Luckily, my loyal fans and the power of the Internet have let the Kat out of the bag.
DeLuna remains a good sport about the situation: Business is business, she says, adding shes focusing on positive feedback from her upcoming single, Dancing Tonight.
Jennifer Lopez sounds like a bitch. She acts sweet and nice but that image is directly contrasted by these stories of her screwing people over and acting like a diva.
