The spring mix was totally one of the best she could throw the original version of HYD and put this instead of it!anyways Rebirth is kinda a tragic story to be honest cuz it was her time to shine again and she lost it cuz of the loss of promotion and good singles choice!

Yes, I loved the Hold you down Spring Remix, too. Too bad she didn't released it .. I bet it would have been successful!!

I always thought that, too. The Spring Remix is soooooo good! One of her best songs, hands down.

I liked the remix, I was hoping for a "Robbing A Bank" themed video....

I think them releasing the remix with a hot video and re-releasing the album could have saved it like "Im Real" remix did for JLo..

I thought that, too, but that deal wouldn't have to do with the chart position.

With it, she maybe meant it being a single? Or maybe that it wasn't played cause it was released right after the whole payola thing?

Interesting piece about Hold You Down by one of the songwriters:

Jennifer Lopez is also one of the several big names you've worked with. Were you surprised by the success of "All I Have"? And were disappointed when "Hold You Down" didn't fare as well as expected?

Yes I was extremely surprised by the success of "All I Have". That song came out and blew up before I had gotten my publishing deal. At that time I didn't realize the severity of a #1 Billboard record. I didn't realize what it does for your career when you have a record that big. I wasn't surprised at the lackluster chart position of "Hold You Down". It was a political thing and that's it. I was disappointed at the time, but I realized, even for the hottest writers and producers, every song they do is not gonna be a smash hit - its just not. That's reality!

Actually "I'm Glad" was a U.S. hit cause it peaked within the Top 40 at #31...

peaking #31 is a hit?

"Most American music industry insiders consider a song in the top forty positions of the Billboard Hot 100 to be a hit. A hit single may be described as a "number one hit", a "top 10 hit", a "top 20 hit" or a "top 40 hit", depending on its peak position."

Hey I don't make the rules... I'm just saying.. lol

JENNIFER LOPEZ CAST LIST

Product Manager: Simon Barnabas.

Radio: Nick Worsley, Bob Hermon.

TV: Sacha Cowlam.

This spring's new Jennifer Lopez album is not only the first big superstar release into the UK market in 2005. It also holds a particular significance for her record company.

Lopez's...
