3rd Party - Waiting For Tonight 

😂y yo acabo de conocer recién que Jlo lo plagio 😂

Same here buddy

JLo is fake

90's are way better than the lame and overrated 80's. Zoomers, especially those who watch stranger days have no damn idea

the idiot stole this song with p i refuse to say his name but she also stole Selenas career shes just a one hit wonder industry plant and thats bein nice cause RU-vid will censor my real factz

Because JLO doesn't have any talent and tends to use the previous artist's vocals like she's done with Ashanti. This song is conveniently impossible to find on Spotify.

Because she’s a dumb bitch who stole people’s lives and music

because this version sounds better

because she cant sing and is a fact. no hate- she cant reach some notes. and she used the whole chorus... this is the real voice of her song.

True there

this is the one i listened to, the original. much better.

Omg I had no idea this was the original lol

J. Lo always wins!

@@adaramontoya8616 cos she brought her own vibe and personal twist to it.....o wait she didn't 🤦‍♀️. Literally copied everything and ☑ it's a JLO song now🤣

I grew up in Europe too and never heard this ever lol

i grew up in the south pacific and funny enough I heard this version before the Jlo one, maybe the french influence via tahiti and new caledonia? I cannot remember specifically

We all heard this one first in the states as well. It’s just that when jlo came out with it again no one questioned it because the artists weren’t as well known. I just assumed it was the same song being played on the radio but slower.

Very true!

fun fact: J-Lo has used the actual vocals in this song to harmonies her vocals in her version.

SkaMasta097 should check out the new version by Teddy Beats... tropical vibe 🌴☀️

I like both versions. I was a teenager in the 90's and this sound was very representative.

@Ayan P no in her case its called stealing. Cuz fun fact but jlo can't sing, any she kept manyy unknown vocals on almost all of her songs. The whole world doesn't know she faked her singing career. Sorry if you're a fan and I broke it down to you.

Jlo made her own cover of this song and it became world famous. And Maria Christensen was done. 3rd party group only last 1 year.

Maria Christensen sang background vocals in J-Lo's version. How often does that kind of thing happen? (An artist covers a song by another artist, and a member, or members, of the original artist helps out in the cover version.)

@@nbuehster Covers have been used since the 1950s. Each artist or singer will seek permission to cover the original artist's song title, then mash it up or sample it. In some covers, the backing vocals are left intact. For example, Ashanti's voice provided backing vocals for Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" (feat. Ja Rule). Ja Rule wrote the song specifically for Jennifer Lopez, and he usually has Ashanti as her backup vocalist; you can tell because they recorded the song before Jennifer Lopez's voice had to be overdub. Hip-hop artists use samples all the time.

@@Vishal138 Maria can actually sing. JLo's just some doll for producers. The world's unfair!

Tough competition back then for girl bands, I guess. The Spice Girls took all the attention.

Same here

It’s Jlo she’s never original 😂

I swear this sound is making a comeback

@@twofivefourlos Not really unfortunately. A lot of bs artists out there are obsessed with making multiple songs in the style of the lame and overrated 80's...SMH

@@katharsis3754bc the sound production of the 80s sounds good n better

Because this was made around 1996 and jlo version 1999 it has more 2000's style and sounds.

Aldair Lopez JLo sounds 90s too though.

They both sound 90s as they were both released in the 90s (1997, 1999). This one just sounds like slightly earlier 90s. Music from the late 90s to the early 2000s is a continuum, like time itself, with very gradual changes each year. However, I can even notice a difference between music released in 1999 versus 2000 and 2000 versus 2001. It’s very slight, but a noticeable difference in the feel of the music.

Omg yeah audience pop

@@aldairlopez8563 Jlos version is still garbage

Yep me too. My mind is 1000% blown, as is my teenage years and memories lol 🤯

Jennifer Lopez bought this song, covered it and made it a hit! What's the problem? ALL LEGAL.

I think literally everyone did. I just happened to look at the Wikipedia for the J-Lo song cuz I wanted to know who directed the music video, then I find out it’s a cover, lol.

It also has more layers of various synth sounds so it's a proper Eurodance. J-Lo version is composed of hand drums, maracas, claves and even a trumpet so it sounds more Latin.

you re a traitor to delicious jlo

so did i for both songs actually XD and they are both 2 years appart from the covers

Torn was written by the LA rock band "Ednaswap". The Danish version was also a cover.

@@keptins No, the Danish version came first though and was the first recorded version of the song. Ednaswap then decided to do a version themselves, so theirs is actually a cover despite writing it. Odd enough, some people know this and still feel the Danish version is a cover because Ednaswap wrote it. But who cares? It's all about what was recorded and released first. Like if Beyonce decided to write a song for Rihanna and she does it first, and then Beyonce decides to do a version of it, it does not make Rihanna's song a cover. Her version came first. Beyonce's would be the cover whether she wrote it or not because it wasn't initially for her.

And there were other versions of the song prior to Natalie's version. Like three of them I think and they all sounded identical, so I don't see what Natalie did that made hers jump so much, but so be it.

@@devontehuntley6274 omg complexes talking lol But that song became popular only thanks to Natalie and that’s it. The original version is even hurting my ears

I’m just finding out 😮

if you think there's no autotune in this then you don't know what autotune is🤣🤣

@@uairobs Of course I do! This song was released in June, 1997. Auto tune software's first version was released in September, 1997. Looks like someone doesn't know how to do basic research! 🙄🗿💀

@@uairobs Of course I do! This song was released in June, 1997. Auto tune software's first version was released in September, 1997. Looks like someone doesn't know how to do basic research! 🙄🗿💀

@@1.618_Murphy your searches seem to be basic. Autotune was used much earlier, but under a different name. I suggest you search further.

@@uairobs What name exactly? No, you won't tell it, because there wasn't anything like that! Artists used to pitch perfect by singing over and over again! Even there's a video where MJ is doing that for "we are the world"! You consider yourself a good "researcher" I see! 💀🗿🙄🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

I like this production better

I like the electronic vibe in this than J Lo spanish musical version

No way that’s awesome

yeah right prove it

I don’t believe you

I do admit I like this version alot. But Jlos version has the horn and Congo drums which makes it unique in its own right. But I think the singer in here has better vocals

I highly disagree. Usually the original versions are my preference, but in this case no. I love the tribal percussion in JLo's version, plus it just sounds so much more polished and fresh. Even listening to it in 2022 it holds up.

@@BreannaMae different strokes for different folks, I respect it despite disagreeing lol

@@KikonSketches Lol yeah. Actually JLo's version has nostalgic memories attached to it. The memory this song always brings back is of me getting ready to go to my best friend's Y2K party on New Years Eve 1999 into 2000. I did the whole cliched thing of singing along with the hair brush while getting ready lol. Then I went to the party and this song was playing as I walked in. So all of my friends and I were dancing together. It was such a fun night! When we got to midnight, we all went outside and watched the fireworks together. So yeah this version doesn't bring back any memories, despite technically being the same song. I didn't even know this one existed until recently.

@Breanna Mae ah so you're also basing it of nostalgia, not a bad thing, we all tend to love things that remind us of the good times in the past. I certainly have a lot of songs that reminds me of fun times with friends and family. Personally I love this electro genre of music, especially high beat songs, usually the more retro sounding the better, "work it out" by Sega is another great example, despite being made for a video game. Other good examples is "Ecuador" by Sash!, "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay and "Never Alone" by 2 brothers on the 4th floor. All give off similar vibes as this song, just really catchy, high intensity electronic music, always catches me tapping to it lol.

Lol😂😂😂😂

Hahahaha

She would shit the song. No thanks

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I agree, though the original is good too, somehow for '97 it sounds a bit dated 😬 (early 90's)

Agree, was searching for this one as I heard it in another mix. This tempo is better when fast paced

kind of has them i guess yeah maracas and bongos and that

I guess in a way this song is like romance so it fits better with Spanish instruments

This ones sound more like a 90's euro trance song while JLo version sounds like something that Kylie Minougue would do in the 2000's

Rikko Hirano Me too I had absolutely no idea about any of this stuff regarding JLO.

Most pop artists don't write their own music. 🤷‍♂️

Same. THIS is the version that's been stuck in my head for years. I read the JLo version came out in 1999, and I was positive the song was older than that. I listened to it, and it didn't sound right- because it's not the one I remember.

Actually, they are from Sweden

Anyway you can rip and share them in lossless? I cant find it anywhere except in very low quality

@@AlexaMKDiss lead singer and their song writer Maria is from Miami. Definitely not Swedish music. Dont know about the other two singers in group.

JLo owns this song now.

Because sounds trashy that’s all !

The band broke up before the song was reworked

@@jorgeflores7193 lmao shit 😂

Unpopular opinion she can’t sing and we’re stuck with her instead of selena

Nice try moulinyan

Retired. Maria more-so coaches. I'm friends with her on Facebook and even urged her to get back out there. I'm like if Cher can make a comeback song at age 52 with "Believe" then she could too with something, particularly an update of this song to take back the credit Jennifer Lopez took from her and ran with.

And the trumpet.

IKR?????? shut me up!!!!!!!!!

"MC" Walter agreed

superior?? LOL J.Lo's versión is iconic, a classic!!

J.Lo's version added latin percussions, less cheap voice effects. It was predicative of theearly 00s sound and is way more iconic and has aged way better than this mess.

LMAO at this Kids Bop sounding version being "superior" to Jennifer Lopez's version.

@Ayan P It's not a copy, it's shit.

Duh :P

@@alexandertotev7787 lol

@Ayan P it isn't bulls shit its somebody's else poop.

J lo version is better than the original but she did rip them off....i like all the sounds in jlo version....my question is how did they not sue

its LITERALLY the same song lol

I mean Mariah's career was over when people realized she cant sing

@@jakerodriguez4985 mariah can't sing?? are you an idiot? have you ever heard her sing live? she's one of the most beautiful voices in the world

Mariah has a several songs that are covers.. dumb ass!

This is the version I remember from 1997. I never even heard JLos until the Superbowl. I like this one better

but nothing original from Lopez. she just did a cover .she didn´t arranged nothing,, the song already arranged before Lopez. so what the heck are you talking about??

@@angc1456 Yeah, this is the same thing with Jennifer's vocal on it. The party line has always been that Ric Wake re-arranged it and he clearly didn't lift a finger in that regard. He took out a synth. Beyond that, same thing.

@@Nostaljack Agreed !!! :)

@@angc1456plus the girls are still in the background of her version

@@num1Jaystayes that´s true !

And never gave them the credit or acknowledgement which is pathetic. She fooled people into thinking she did this originally. Not once does she ever say "I covered it!" but as if she heard a demo and decided to do it herself. You are so right, this version has way more life and beat and frankly better singers. Jennifer sounded like she was TRYING to sing (which she was actually doing at the start of her career before she actually got good) and sounded bland. Her production team even used the vocals of 3rd Party in Jennifer's version during the chorus bits. You can actually make out THEIR voices in the background. So Jennifer couldn't sing her own damn background? Wow. How is her version so popular? Same with Xscape's cover of The Jones Sisters, "Who Can I Run To" which is also trash and bland and absent of the soul and natural harmonic uplifting the original song had, yet that cover is soooo popular and recognized amongst the masses. HOOOOW??? I also posted this version on my channel with some pics of the lovely Maria Christensen (blonde singer here), and a video trashing Jennifer's live performances that I posted earlier this week. HA!

No she didn’t take credit. They didn’t write it. Their version went no place. Jennifer’s went very far and is a signature song of hers. This… sounds like a demo lol.

Jlo version better imo

From what I read, they broke up before this song was offered to JLo though. Plus the original songwriters - one of them being the lead singer here, were properly credited on JLo's album. That same singer also did backup vocals on JLo's version. Apparently she was able to release her own solo album later thanks to the money and clout she got from all this. I'm not exactly a JLo fan (I'm pretty neutral about her) but she didn't steal anything from these girls.

@@devontehuntley6274 J Lo is a known song stealer. Even If You Had My Love was stolen from someone else. Remember what she did Mariah Carey.

john doey how? It’s a good song. Amber didn’t do good songs.

Absolutely.. Amber voice it's amazing

Ha I never thought of that. Yeah her voice would really killed on this and it would've been a hit. She had great jams. But I always thought this group did fine on this song it was just buried under other dance music because they didn't have a name.

OMFG YES!!!! ::DEAD::

*Better version

Best burn of 2021

Yes Their vocals can be heard in her version. -_-

Collin Samatas one of? Lol no dear boy all of her hits are not her own.

I get really tired of people not knowing how songwriting works. Yes they released this song but also disbanded in 97. As a singer it would be amazing if a song that did nothing for me got pitched to a huge artist. The original artists of this song are super happy it got a refresh,became a hit and thus songwriting royalties for forever.

all "her" greatest hits were in fact not hers - if you had my love, i'm real, ain't it funny, get right, jenny from the block are all covers

Even the voice not her.

how did u think ashanti feel ?

They stole the concept and buried this group under Lopez's ever reaching umbrella of bullshit sucsess. Why didn't Lopez come up with her own song? She has millions of people who help her on a daily basis and not one of them could actually work and write a song. To me she's a waste of money! "But can I get you a water?!!!!!!!! You'll pay me right!!!!??".

Yeah another group made the song and Lopez made it with a Latin vs. European beat. They made the song first! Lopez covered it!

+Jamie Moll excuse me she didnt steal it. This group never made it to actually release their album. So the song died. The producer should be happy coz now coz of JLo he made money

The writer actually participated in the cover version of the song. I guess that was some sort of bonus. It's really as simple as Sony/Columbia paying out for the song. The same was done for the J. Lo album. Tommy Mottola heard "Play" and snagged it from Christina Milian as the story goes.

And produced a rather inferior version. It's really a mediocre version that only got as good as it did because Jennifer was a star and due to the song's content and melody. But Jennifer had no singing ability at the time and it showed. It was like she was struggling through the song. There was no real singing range and her ad-lib moments were horrible. They even used the vocals of this version during the chorus of HERS. Can you believe that? But this is something that would be common for many of J-Lo's songs from 1999 to 2005 where vocals from an earlier version of a song, let it be a demo, is used on her official track but that artist is given no featuring credit at all.

Jlos version is shit. Period.
