Sorry to break it to you but actually she makes the song sound really hot. We have both JLo's and Rihanna's versions of the song, and Jens is a lot better. Dont prejudge, just wait till you hear it.

A few other people have it along with us and we have all discussed and pretty much agree that Jen's is much better.

Trust me u will love it.
We actually have all the songs produced and written by him and the dream (songs mentioned in the article above) and they all sound really great. A little different for Jen but still close to what she does.
BTW "Whippin my hair" Is crazy different, better than Ri Ri's
