1. Blind Items Revealed #11 – Anniversary Month

   November 21, 2006

   Let me preface this post, by saying that if this story ever comes out, it would blow the music world up and shake it to its core..This would put the Milli Vanilli scandal and Ashlee Simpson SNL situation so far down the ladder it would be crazy..

   Towards the end of last year I had a woman come into my office and she began to explain what she had done and had been doing for several years and it was one of the very few times that I just could not believe what I was hearing..I know the music industry inside and out, and I had never heard of something so extensive and pervasive as this..

   This woman (S) came into my office because the payments she had been receiving had stopped and she wanted to either get the money that was owed to her, or expose what she had been doing to the light of day..

   S is a sessions/studio/backup singer and is very good..Prior to her involvement in what I am going to describe, she made a very good living singing on commercials and being a backup singer for groups and other solo acts, etc..Like I said she is very good, but she does not really have that “look” which would make her a star, so record companies did not put her out front, but just used her talents..

   In late 2000, a man came to her one day and said he needed someone to record some demos because he had written a lot of songs, but wanted a demo to shop the songs to singers and record labels..This is not unusual at all and she had done this type of work before and it paid pretty well so she agreed. What was unusual about her recording of the demos was how much work was put into the actual recordings..It was extensive..Generally there is not much time put into the recordings because you never really know if the song will even sell, and the money spent on recording could be put to better uses..These demos she was recording were actually being treated as if they were going to be released on a CD or to radio..They even did some mixing which was REALLY unusual..

   After a few weeks she had recorded about over a dozen songs and she went on her way and was really oblivious to anything else pertaining to it, UNTIL several months later she was in her car and heard her voice coming from the radio, only it was another singer being given credit..(We will call this other singer MV for Milli Vanilli) She could not believe what she was hearing and did not know whether to be excited to hear herself on the radio, confused about the credit given to another singer or just pissed off for the same reasons..

   What she did do, was to call the man who had originally come to her and had her record the songs..The man agreed to meet her and gave her a substantial sum of money and promised to keep giving her money every month as long as she kept her mouth shut. MV was taking off..(MV has/had several Top 40 songs and CD’s. They could have gone to #1 or languished in the 30’s..I really cannot go into much more detail or else it would be too easy to discover) MV was everywhere..on television, radio, awards shows, commercials..EVERYWHERE..meanwhile, S continued to get money every month and kept her little secret to herself..The guy who picked S was VERY lucky..Most singers would have caused a fuss, but S has always been in the background and was resigned to the fact she always would be, and was very happy just taking the $$, and did not want that to stop..

   About 9 months go by and S is called by the guy because MV is going on tour and they want S to record some extra mixes and such for the tour..She agrees and does not really do much, but money is money..

   Fast forward another year or so and S stops receiving money and after a few months of missed payments, calls the guy who explains that they need S to do another CD and then the payments can continue, but there is no more money unless she does more recordings..

   S agrees and records another CD worth of songs which is released several months later and does even better than the first CD. This same process is repeated (I am not going to tell you the number of CD’s because again you may be able to deduce and so I will just say the process repeated itself several times)

   Well everything goes well for the most part for all these years and then no more payments, and no more calls and she cannot even locate our mystery man..S has not received a payment in six months when she came into my office and related this story..She did not even know the guy’s name, but when she described him, I knew who he was and was even more floored than I had been previously..This was just something I had really not heard before..

   I had heard of really altering voices in the recording studios and bringing in hired hands for one song or a large portion of a song, but never CD after CD and even doing extra work so a live performance would not sound staged..I told her I needed some time to check into her story and then we could proceed..It took two calls before I got the guy on the phone and he was pissed, scared, angry, threatening, remorseful..everything..It turns out the reason he had stopped making payments was he had been playing some shell games with the money between the record company, MV’s earnings and MV’s investments and just did not have any additional money..In addition, MV was not sure she wanted to continue on with what had been happening and so our mystery guy might be completely out of the picture..

   I actually think the record company to this day has no idea what went on as the Guy was very good at what he does/did and knew how to make sure the record company was always happy..He stayed under budget, toured, made MV available, and made the record company money..

   So a meeting was arranged in my office and S and MV finally met face to face..they had never done so, even though it was S who made MV a star..MV was rude to say the least when she saw what S looked like and it really upset me although S being her normal classy self could have cared less..

   What we agreed to do that day was to provide S with one lump sum rather than a monthly income which was easier for Guy to pull off and S also agreed to never disclose her role in this drama and MV was on her own for future recordings and tours..

   This involved literally millions of CD’s and hundreds of concerts all over the world..The one thing I did get out of this beside my fee of course is a Gold Record autographed by S and by MV..I know it is the only one in the world..

   Jennifer Lopez

   1. this story remind me when Mathra Wash sue C+C music factory for doing very same thing.

2. Mariah Carey has nothing to worry about. when you have 18 number one Hits. that’s something that not too many people in music business can say they have.
   another thing, half of these new girls and JLo can’t even chart no less talk about people singing.

3. The thing here is: J Lo has barely reciprocated any catty beef/shade that Mariah has been throwing for decades over nothing. You know that Gif of Mariah shaking her head? “Nope, don’t know her…” That’s about J. Lo and Mariah’s been real shady to J Lo for god knows what reason, so honestly, this whole thing (to me) speaks more volumes about who Mariah is as a person (if J Lo is so beneath her, then why would she even need to shade her?) and J Lo (from what I’ve seen) has been kind of funny and witty about it. From what I’ve seen (and it’s not much) J Lo has been rather classy about it and hasn’t really said much about it. even in this instance, she didn’t say it herself, some random on twitter did, and J Lo just liked the photo. If someone’s been shading me for 20 years for no reason and they were falling apart, damn right I’d like the photo too.

   I’m a fan of Mariah’s first album and I just made a comment about her actually having once in a generation type talent, but her first few albums don’t excuse her catty behaviour. She doesn’t seem likeable at all, and isn’t managing herself well at all these days. As much as I respect and revere Mariah’s past talent, I’m totally #teamJLo on this one. This was never a competition on talent. J Lo seems to know that, and she knows her lane, Mariah is the one that seems confused.

   Remember, she just clicked the “like” button, and considering Mariah’s random ass treatment towards her, I see nothing wrong with it lol.

4. Jlo doesn’t even need to start with her mess. Jlo can dance but that’s it, she can not sing at all. Jlo is a mediocre celebrity who has gotten by on her looks. Okay and is it me or is it that Drake is such a cornball. He is in these PR relationships like suppose to be in love with Serena, then Rihanna this past summer, then rumored to date Taylor Swift, now Jlo boy please. Drake you are lame as they come. Boy oh boy do I miss Whitney, she was so witty and threw shade. Whitney wasn’t nasty to people, but at this time in the video Mariah had just come out and they were trying to make her the next Whitney. So Whitney was pressed at this time but they later became friends which I’m glad about.

5. Trying sing something from “Babs”catalog….. content://media/external/file/40663

6. I’m not looking at it as an instance of being petty or coming for her, maybe she was just scrolling through the comments and found one that made her laugh. That comment wasn’t lying, that’s exactly how I felt watching it.

7. Speak ,da truth Jay

8. I’m still trying to understand how she was a judge on American Idol.

9. Maybe I’m getting old, but Mariah Carey doesn’t have to give another decent performance for the rest of her life and her resumè will still dwarf 99% of the other singers in the industry.

   If you weren’t around or aware when Mariah made her debut and the height of her popularity I suggest you YouTube some of her performances.

   J. Lo learns to be a more believable lipsyncer and thinks she can come for anyone? Lol

   At this point J. Lo has to perform well. Remember she went to Vegas because she wasn’t selling records and had no recent hits since “On The Floor” lol

10. Jlo has never been known as a singer. She’s more of a entertainer. We don’t expect much from her but she gives a good show. Mariah is known for her vocal skills as well as shading people who she believes is beneath her so when she has messes up badly like she had done a lot recently it makes for news coverage and open season for others to shade her. I think Jlo liking the comment is funny.

    1. Same
