Jennifer Lopez, "Do It Well"

Jill Weinberger
Posted September 07, 2007

Jennifer Lopez's "Do It Well," the first single from the new album Brave, is a funky celebration of bringing hotness and commitment together. The video, on the other hand... You know how sometimes you see a video, and you think, "Damn, that is the perfect depiction of everything that song is about," and then the song and the video really resonate with you for a long time? Yeah. This isn't one of those times.

So Jennifer Lopez is this badass beyotch in a supersexy trench coat, and she gets this message that she needs to help the world's youngest fry cook get to Union Street. So she goes to a club where they have strippers in Habitrails, pushes a guy down the stairs, gets another guy in a chokehold, has a dance break, shoves and punches eight or nine more guys, has another dance break, passes a dude in a mousetrap, has another dance break, saves the little fry cook, kicks one last guy down the stairs, and leaves. Presumably for Union Street.

Feel the heat. Feel the love. Feel the inimitable, "Look, Ma, I'm directing" style of the famously edgy David LaChapelle. Feel the need to wonder aloud, "The hell?"

Is she singing "you throwing me off track" or is she singing "I was smoking crack"... because it looks like someone was smoking crack when they made this video. What exactly is this concept? J Lo beats up a bunch of perverts at a sex club while rescuing the youngest dish washer in the world? How does this fit in with the lyrics for the title "Do it well"? It makes no sense, it is not fun to watch-- is it like The Cell meets MTV? Once again I am baffled by the absurdity of this woman's so called music and video. She needs to stick with the fly girl living in colour dance thing-- that's what she does best. Lord knows her voice is watery thin at best. OK-- enough.
