New Song: Taio Cruz – ‘Dynamite (ft. Jennifer Lopez)’

Published: Thursday 12th Aug 2010 by Sam

Several weeks ago we reported that Taio Cruz had recorded a remix to hit smash hit single ‘Dynamite’ with new label-mate Jennifer Lopez. However, many were left scratching their heads when Lopez was a no show in Cruz’s video for the song, which turned out to be for the original.

In any case, the remix has finally surfaced (literally moments ago). Take a listen after the jump…

Yes! Already a home-run of  track, Lopez brought a fresh energy to the song – unsurprising as uptempo’s are her undeniably her forte. One can only hope that that a video for the remix is still plausible, although with the original having peaked it may be unlikely. Either way, great remix.

Tidbit: The computer wizardry on Ms. Jenny’s long-note (2.35-2.39) was hilarity personified.

    ehhhhhh

    i mean, jlo’s creativity was nill…she followed the beat hook/catchiness of the song to a tee…A bit unoriginal, tho it is quite catchy.

  2. kevin August 12, 2010

    I say “miss” just because the remix added nothing to the song.

    its still a hot song, but I was expecting something more substantial. #noshade #justsaying

    Not bad but what the hell is going on with the real JLO????????

  4. MooreNeverson August 12, 2010

  5. deejaybaps August 12, 2010

    is she using auto-tune? no point havin j.lo

  6. ElijahLuvCiCi August 12, 2010

    I like the song and love the fact that J-Lo is on it but this dude is just ugh, he is lame and has no star-power to me! But nonetheless nice song 🙂

  7. JJFan1814 August 12, 2010

    I like it.

  8. right round August 12, 2010

    It sounds like she did this alone in her basement. They should’ve atleast written different lyrics for her to sing. There’s no point to this remix because the original has already hit its peak on the radio and this terrible remix probaly wont get any spins.

  9. right round August 12, 2010

    probably*

  10. jayden August 12, 2010

    the remix is def a winner….sexxxiiiiiiii

  11. Christopher August 12, 2010

    Ok. When I think of the word “peaked” I think…moving on to the next single or ending an era. This song has a 1800+ bullet on Pop radio & seems to be heading to #1 on Top 40. It’s this weeks greatest gainer in overall airplay. So it has surely, far from peaked.

    This ‘remix’ seems like a decent strategy, to at least, garner some more digital sales to reach #1 on the Hot 100.

  12. hesings August 12, 2010

    computer whizardry on Jlo’s note?
    Ummm…. i didn’t hear any effects.
    And Jlo can hit long notes. check out
    songs from her albums dude.

    stop being so negative all the time.
    and trying to find dumb s*** to throw in.

  19. trucie August 12, 2010

    im up for anything Jlo is on but I simply can’t stand this kid. he and Jason Derulo should make like Thelma and Louise and jump off a cliff. LOL and take their music with them.

  20. “Dj Y2k Malone” August 12, 2010

    I like it even tho Jennifer is auto tunes big time

  21. GrapeJuice sucks August 12, 2010

    song was MUCH better without J-h**.

    I guess she is finally “singing” her own songs instead of having Ashanti ghost for her, but tragic the amount of autotune and computer refinement it takes to even make her voice tolerable.

    FAIL

  22. UmYa August 12, 2010

    Her voice was really annoying on this.

  23. number1k9 August 12, 2010

    I like it, but it def doesn’t sound like a mastered version of the song.

    Would have been cooler if they had Jennifer come in with some original lyrics/something new. Still not bad!

    Jennifer Lopez creates great Dance Pop music with an R&B feel to it.

  24. Slick August 12, 2010

    Luvs it!!! She did her thang!

  25. CSTST August 12, 2010

    It’s awesome! i love it! the vocals could have been better but i don’t mind! Awesome song! and wow at the high note! Jen has amazing voice!!!

  26. Alex T August 12, 2010

    I LOVE Jennifer Lopez, but she did nothing on this song. Very disappointing. Seriously, she just copied Taio.

  27. why in the world? August 12, 2010

  28. Rancor August 12, 2010

  29. Luka August 12, 2010

  30. Aaron August 12, 2010

    I think Cruz should write some material for J.Lo’s ‘Love’ !!!!!!!

  31. CJ August 12, 2010

    I love J-Lo on this song. I think she did a great job.

  32. delroy August 12, 2010

    my god that was bad i agree with the whole sounding like jlo did it in thew basement. i remember when her stuff was good, well that was the im real days.

  33. ricanstar August 12, 2010

    its good wish she had her own verse tho song should have been released from the get maybe she didnt like the auto tune or maybe i dont like the auto tune i think its the quality of the rip cuz the song sounds way more scratchy then the original

  34. dexta’D August 12, 2010

    honestly i didnt like the song when it first came out but i listened to the remix && im in LOVE jlo gives it a dif. feel && vibe that i love . ! way to go . !

    PRICELESS (LOL)!

    As for this collaboration, who cares? I saw him a few days ago praising the likes of the oh so talented dancer and musical genius, KE$HA. I know right then and there I was done with this one!

  37. D August 12, 2010

    what the hell was that. It sounded like someone copy and pasted her “vocals” into the song. I’ll stick with the original thank you

  38. LAX August 12, 2010

    sounded good to me. that fellow is selling music on the itune this morning he was at number #1.

  39. smartee August 13, 2010

    OMG I hate this song so much! WTF is up with all of this Regge-electro-pop stupid a** music? Sean Kingston… this guy! I just hate this poppy, annoying mess! And JLO sounded stupid. Her voice really sucks. You can definitely tell that they auto tuned the hell outta her voice! Her voice is so high, weak, and abrasive! She really is a terrible singer! She sounds like someone who is singing to this song while she’s driving in the car. It’s weird and pathetic of her to be recording nonsense music like this, especially when she’s in her 40s! Even though she could never sing, at least she had some good a** song writers write some beautiful songs for her. It just goes to show how untalented of an artist she is.

  40. egialbania August 13, 2010

    im in love with this song jlo is so hot i cant wait for a new album love

  41. egialbania August 13, 2010

    i love love this sons song this remix is gonna be a smash hits i cant wait for a new album from jlo love

  42. Michael August 13, 2010

    She did add a refreshing feel, but nothing too over the TOP! IT was GOOD-that she added her own spice to the song!

  43. FuckyouSMARTEE August 13, 2010

    I think SMARTEE should die from cancer a***.

  44. Nicole August 13, 2010

    @grapejuicesuck : you said ashanty ghost ? wtf ? Ashanty era has done years ago and her stuff was good but TOTALY DIFFERENT than JLo’s, you must be stupid and jealous if you say otherwise, don’t let me laugh at you, then the only successful true triple threat Jenny is not like your Ashanty.

    @smartee, you are another stupid and jealous hater like your friends, Jennifer can sing and hit high notes, professional people confirmed that she has 3 and half octaves, her live performances especially for CAUM prove what I’m saying then the voice is not everything when you talk about a true triple threat who does it all, she has more than a talent and the most important thing is to give emotions in your singing not having the most strongest voice and Jennifer is 40 year old but she still looks like a woman in her 20’s and still can sing about whatever she wants, she’s not you, you might get old in a early age coz you have nothing to do in life, so you freaky know everything I said from the begining, now do us a favor and die since you have nothing to do, you are just obsessed with someone who doesn’t even care about you. The same thing for any other hater. LOL

  45. Nicole August 13, 2010

    to any hater : Jennifer has different talents that’s why she’s a true triple threat so this remix was not even her idea but Def Jam’s and she was not even intersted in it so that’s why she didn’t do anything for it just singing a part of the song but the most important thing for her is her album love ? so she was recording and writing stuff for that and her compagny is gonna make the right promotions to make together a stronge comeback.

  46. Julie August 14, 2010

    I LOVE this song so much!! The beat is much better than the original and I think J.Lo did a great job. I hope her new album comes out soon!

  47. egialbania August 14, 2010

    i cant wait for new video jlo taio cruz wauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

  48. modjo August 16, 2010
