You know, I was litening to some radio here in Brazil and then all of a sudden started a song that I was sure was Jennifer Lopez. I thought, well, it probably is Hold You Down, but since I never bothered to hear the song because everybody here trashed it, I didn't know. So I was thinking "well, it's not that bad, maybe they are releasing another song here". I was waiting to see if she said the words "hold you down" so that I would know it was the real song, and yes, it was. I was like "This actually sounds like a hit to me, why did everybody at Pulse trashed it so bad??"
So, why?
This song is shaping up to be a big hit here. I truly don't like Jennifer. I think she's an awful actress/singer/personality, but I gotta be true, this song ain't that bad at all. It's actually much better than All I Have - now THAT is an awful song!
well, just wondering...

To be honest, the song itself wasn't bad but just that it was so mediocre and boring was why people didn't like it. I personally liked the song, especially the remix. If they released that instead of the original, it would have done a LOT better on radio.

I actually thought that what I was hearing was the remix, since it wasn't sounding so bad. But then I saw the video and I knew that it was in fact the album version. I have not heard the remix yet.

It's horrid. Easily her worst single ever, and she's released alot of crap in 2002-2003.

Yes, it really is THAT bad.
And still, she's had worse singles that actually became hits.

The song isn't that bad or just bad at all. It's just that in these boards most of the members happen to not like Jennifer. It is that simple. The song itself was a hot song with beautiful lyrics but it wasn't a single material. As an album track the song is amazing but as a single sucks, and it showed at how badly the song did a radio.

The Disney backing vocals were horrid. That's what really killed the song.

Then again, that's your opinion. I have a friend who liked the song because of the vocals on the background.

You know the thing is that I actually thing this is a good SINGLE more than a good SONG. It sounds quite alright on the radio. Man, guilty pleasure!

Yes, it really is THAT bad. "All I Have" is one of my favorite J.Lo singles and when I heard that HYD had a sound similar sound to it I was looking forward to hearing it. It's a shame it turned out to be her worst single ever. :( |

The Disney-like instrumental and backing vocals are awful, the lyrics are laughable and uninspired, and Jennifer's lack of depth or tone in her vocals really stand out in a song like that.
It's just, really crap.

The original version is not that bad, but the remix is real bad.

Regardless of if people here liked it or not, the song failed at radio. There are good songs that fail at radio and bad songs that fail at radio.
This was a bad song that failed at radio. Pulse confirmed it. Call Out data confirmed it. Program Directors confirmed and and radio listeners confirmed it. Hell, even JLo confirmed it.....oh, that last one was in my dream. Sorry.

I don't think the song is all that bad. I think it is kinda sweet. But it's not one of her best which really isn't saying much
