I don’t understand why Jennifer would hate this version. It sounds almost identical to hers. Just some changes in the beat, but the same vocally almost. She’s crazy! This version is great too!!! Love them both.
the idiot stole this song with p i refuse to say his name but she also stole Selenas career shes just a one hit wonder industry plant and thats bein nice cause CZcams will censor my real factz
Because JLO doesn't have any talent and tends to use the previous artist's vocals like she's done with Ashanti. This song is conveniently impossible to find on Spotify.
I always knew J-Lo’s version and thought it was her original song until I just found out about this version from the Wikipedia article. This actually sounds not bad at all, and not so different from J-Lo’s version. Just more Euro sounding instead of Latin. I like both.
@Ayan P no in her case its called stealing. Cuz fun fact but jlo can't sing, any she kept manyy unknown vocals on almost all of her songs. The whole world doesn't know she faked her singing career. Sorry if you're a fan and I broke it down to you.
for more than 20 years I thought jennifer's version was the original.. today I discovered this. I really prefer this one, the beat is much more powerfull!!
I think literally everyone did. I just happened to look at the Wikipedia for the J-Lo song cuz I wanted to know who directed the music video, then I find out it’s a cover, lol.
It also has more layers of various synth sounds so it's a proper Eurodance. J-Lo version is composed of hand drums, maracas, claves and even a trumpet so it sounds more Latin.
Maria Christensen sang background vocals in J-Lo's version. How often does that kind of thing happen? (An artist covers a song by another artist, and a member, or members, of the original artist helps out in the cover version.)
@@nbuehster Covers have been used since the 1950s. Each artist or singer will seek permission to cover the original artist's song title, then mash it up or sample it. In some covers, the backing vocals are left intact. For example, Ashanti's voice provided backing vocals for Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" (feat. Ja Rule). Ja Rule wrote the song specifically for Jennifer Lopez, and he usually has Ashanti as her backup vocalist; you can tell because they recorded the song before Jennifer Lopez's voice had to be overdub. Hip-hop artists use samples all the time.
Growing up in Europe, I actually heard this version first, knew it better, and this version is the one that brings me nostalgic memories of my early teen years. But it took some time to find it because when you Google it, Lopez cover mostly comes up.
i grew up in the south pacific and funny enough I heard this version before the Jlo one, maybe the french influence via tahiti and new caledonia? I cannot remember specifically
We all heard this one first in the states as well. It’s just that when jlo came out with it again no one questioned it because the artists weren’t as well known. I just assumed it was the same song being played on the radio but slower.
They both sound 90s as they were both released in the 90s (1997, 1999). This one just sounds like slightly earlier 90s. Music from the late 90s to the early 2000s is a continuum, like time itself, with very gradual changes each year. However, I can even notice a difference between music released in 1999 versus 2000 and 2000 versus 2001. It’s very slight, but a noticeable difference in the feel of the music.
@@adaramontoya8616 cos she brought her own vibe and personal twist to it.....o wait she didn't 🤦♀️. Literally copied everything and ☑ it's a JLO song now🤣
I really though Jennifer Lopez sung this song until I saw that ''songs you might not know are covers '' video and now realized this is the original version
@@twofivefourlos Not really unfortunately. A lot of bs artists out there are obsessed with making multiple songs in the style of the lame and overrated 80's...SMH

I do admit I like this version alot. But Jlos version has the horn and Congo drums which makes it unique in its own right. But I think the singer in here has better vocals
I highly disagree. Usually the original versions are my preference, but in this case no. I love the tribal percussion in JLo's version, plus it just sounds so much more polished and fresh. Even listening to it in 2022 it holds up.
@@KikonSketches Lol yeah. Actually JLo's version has nostalgic memories attached to it. The memory this song always brings back is of me getting ready to go to my best friend's Y2K party on New Years Eve 1999 into 2000. I did the whole cliched thing of singing along with the hair brush while getting ready lol. Then I went to the party and this song was playing as I walked in. So all of my friends and I were dancing together. It was such a fun night! When we got to midnight, we all went outside and watched the fireworks together. So yeah this version doesn't bring back any memories, despite technically being the same song. I didn't even know this one existed until recently.
@Breanna Mae ah so you're also basing it of nostalgia, not a bad thing, we all tend to love things that remind us of the good times in the past. I certainly have a lot of songs that reminds me of fun times with friends and family. Personally I love this electro genre of music, especially high beat songs, usually the more retro sounding the better, "work it out" by Sega is another great example, despite being made for a video game. Other good examples is "Ecuador" by Sash!, "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay and "Never Alone" by 2 brothers on the 4th floor. All give off similar vibes as this song, just really catchy, high intensity electronic music, always catches me tapping to it lol.
This version has more of a euro trance and disco type beat whereas jlo’s version uses more Spanish and Latin instruments which I believe complements the song perfectly.
but nothing original from Lopez. she just did a cover .she didn´t arranged nothing,, the song already arranged before Lopez. so what the heck are you talking about??
@@angc1456 Yeah, this is the same thing with Jennifer's vocal on it. The party line has always been that Ric Wake re-arranged it and he clearly didn't lift a finger in that regard. He took out a synth. Beyond that, same thing.
I remember finding this in the bargain bin and being like I found a gem on the album. I was jamming to this way before JLo's but you know I didn't mind JLo''s because the video for it was really good. It was just hard convincing people, "Hey a group did this song years ago."
This track reminds me of my days as a recording engineer. I was there when this track was written. Then recorded for Third Party. And later pitched for J-lo.
I knew JLo’s version wasn’t the original bc we used it in dance class in ‘97 for one of our routines. I, also, remember hearing it on the radio’s techno dance mixes sometimes.
I like this version but I'm sticking with jlo's only because I grew up with it and I like the sound of the congo drums in her version. Makes me think of the carribbean.
They had two big hits "Can U Feel It" and "Love is Alive" (recorded by Gary Wright 1975). Didn't know they recorded Waiting for Tonight. They had the typical Eurodance of the 90's even though they were born in the U.S. I'm glad I still have their CD singles I bought when it first was released because I can't find them on any music app except here.
Same. THIS is the version that's been stuck in my head for years. I read the JLo version came out in 1999, and I was positive the song was older than that. I listened to it, and it didn't sound right- because it's not the one I remember.
Not gonna lie, I only discovered this song recently, and I must say that I like this version way more than Jennifer Lopez's song. This song has more life to it, has more beat in it, it's a shame I can't seem to find it on Spotify. J-Lo completely destroyed their chance of fame with her copy.
And never gave them the credit or acknowledgement which is pathetic. She fooled people into thinking she did this originally. Not once does she ever say "I covered it!" but as if she heard a demo and decided to do it herself. You are so right, this version has way more life and beat and frankly better singers. Jennifer sounded like she was TRYING to sing (which she was actually doing at the start of her career before she actually got good) and sounded bland. Her production team even used the vocals of 3rd Party in Jennifer's version during the chorus bits. You can actually make out THEIR voices in the background. So Jennifer couldn't sing her own damn background? Wow. How is her version so popular? Same with Xscape's cover of The Jones Sisters, "Who Can I Run To" which is also trash and bland and absent of the soul and natural harmonic uplifting the original song had, yet that cover is soooo popular and recognized amongst the masses. HOOOOW??? I also posted this version on my channel with some pics of the lovely Maria Christensen (blonde singer here), and a video trashing Jennifer's live performances that I posted earlier this week. HA!
No she didn’t take credit. They didn’t write it. Their version went no place. Jennifer’s went very far and is a signature song of hers. This… sounds like a demo lol.
From what I read, they broke up before this song was offered to JLo though. Plus the original songwriters - one of them being the lead singer here, were properly credited on JLo's album. That same singer also did backup vocals on JLo's version. Apparently she was able to release her own solo album later thanks to the money and clout she got from all this. I'm not exactly a JLo fan (I'm pretty neutral about her) but she didn't steal anything from these girls.
@@keptins No, the Danish version came first though and was the first recorded version of the song. Ednaswap then decided to do a version themselves, so theirs is actually a cover despite writing it. Odd enough, some people know this and still feel the Danish version is a cover because Ednaswap wrote it. But who cares? It's all about what was recorded and released first. Like if Beyonce decided to write a song for Rihanna and she does it first, and then Beyonce decides to do a version of it, it does not make Rihanna's song a cover. Her version came first. Beyonce's would be the cover whether she wrote it or not because it wasn't initially for her.
And there were other versions of the song prior to Natalie's version. Like three of them I think and they all sounded identical, so I don't see what Natalie did that made hers jump so much, but so be it.
@@devontehuntley6274 omg complexes talking lol But that song became popular only thanks to Natalie and that’s it. The original version is even hurting my ears
It's too bad that this version isn't as well known. I like that it's less polished and saturated, and more soulful. The J-Lo version is good, because that's the one I remember as a kid. However after discovering this version, I'd have to say 3rd Party's version is superior.
J.Lo's version added latin percussions, less cheap voice effects. It was predicative of theearly 00s sound and is way more iconic and has aged way better than this mess.
Great the original song. More europe sound in the 90s. It's seems just a little bit the italian disco dance as Datura, JT Company, Neja. This song is so super!!!
I knew when jLo came out with her version, I said I heard this song before but couldn't recall who did it until today. Kelly Clarkson did a cool rendition of it on her show .
Always loved this group, and i could never figure out why they never got credit for singing this song originally. I still have their CD after all these years, and some of the tracks hold up really well
I love Jlo she's my icon but I love this song on the original. Don't hate on Jlo plzzz. We all know we copy and see different results with our way of doing it.
Escuchando este tema y descubriendo en 2024 que Jlo copio el tema arriba de este tema , por dios cuántos temas estoy descubriendo y que jamás escuche❤. Excelente tema❤
This is the one i knew when i was younger. I listened to the jlo one and was thinking it didn't sound right. Then found this thanks to the internet. This one is better imo.
Retired. Maria more-so coaches. I'm friends with her on Facebook and even urged her to get back out there. I'm like if Cher can make a comeback song at age 52 with "Believe" then she could too with something, particularly an update of this song to take back the credit Jennifer Lopez took from her and ran with.
This original version sounds like an early 90's song, with a few late 80's vibes, their voices are good, I'd totally be dancing to it and everything, I love it, ...but the JLo version....so much better in my opinion; but only because I think they worked on it, looked into it longer! It's that percussion, the hint of guitar, not to mention the tone of Jlo's voice in that song; really good. The whole thing sounds like latin pop whereas this 3rd party one sounds like a Eurovision song? Which to me, simply means that they probably didn't work on it with the amount of love it actually needed. Basically a kickass song with a lot of potential.
This blew my mind. I first heard Jennifer Lopez's version, but then I saw this album and noticed this song, but I thought this was a cover, and Jennifer Lopez's version was the original. Then I noticed this was released in 1997, before Jennifer Lopez's version, and was like "WTF?!".
I get really tired of people not knowing how songwriting works. Yes they released this song but also disbanded in 97. As a singer it would be amazing if a song that did nothing for me got pitched to a huge artist. The original artists of this song are super happy it got a refresh,became a hit and thus songwriting royalties for forever.
i really like this original version. i wished does women got more recognition for this song. only found out about this in the "jlo ghost singer" video.
All I can say is that Tommy Motolla really went full on to get J. Lo to the top at all cost, so Mariah's career would really take its toll after leaving Sony for good. I appreciate both versions, this original is cut-out for European taste.
I always wondered why JLo's version reminded me of Real McCoy's "Another Night" and Amber's "This Is Your Night". Now when I checked it due to Wikipedia I agree that the original version sounds a lot kinda German Eurodance of mid-90s.
JLO's version is Way, Way, Way Better ... but without this version there's no JLO's version... So, You have all my gratitude for creating one of the most popular dance songs ever !
I like the synths and keyboards on this version it’s higher up in the mix but I like the drum programming and percussion on jLo’s version - combined it gives a 80s/90s freestyle vibe
it's been years since my discovery and i still listen/play this version ONLY. it has that pop that wouldve really made it a club staple. J lo and diddy don't deserve peace.
I like these vocals waaaaaaay better. However I like the production of the remake. If they remastered this it would probably have that crisp sound Im used to.
It took me almost 23 years to find out this is the original
I’m not disappointed 👍🏼👍🏼
😂y yo acabo de conocer recién que Jlo lo plagio 😂
Same here buddy
JLo is fake
You can just feel the 90s Europop emanating from this song.
And I love it!!!
Remember that THIS is the original.

Because she’s a dumb bitch who stole people’s lives and music
because this version sounds better
because she cant sing and is a fact. no hate- she cant reach some notes. and she used the whole chorus... this is the real voice of her song.
I always knew J-Lo’s version and thought it was her original song until I just found out about this version from the Wikipedia article.
This actually sounds not bad at all, and not so different from J-Lo’s version. Just more Euro sounding instead of Latin. I like both.
Very true!
fun fact: J-Lo has used the actual vocals in this song to harmonies her vocals in her version.
SkaMasta097 should check out the new version by Teddy Beats... tropical vibe 🌴☀️
I like both versions. I was a teenager in the 90's and this sound was very representative.

you re a traitor to delicious jlo
Maria Christensen is such a talent !! With her powerhouse voice and her song writing talent, how did she not make it much, much farther ??
Jlo made her own cover of this song and it became world famous. And Maria Christensen was done. 3rd party group only last 1 year.
Maria Christensen sang background vocals in J-Lo's version.

I love the strong 90's vibe
90's are way better than the lame and overrated 80's. Zoomers, especially those who watch stranger days have no damn idea
I like this one, it has more 90sness to the sound!
Because this was made around 1996 and jlo version 1999 it has more 2000's style and sounds.

From what I read, they broke up before this song was offered to JLo though. Plus the original songwriters - one of them being the lead singer here, were properly credited on JLo's album. That same singer also did backup vocals on JLo's version. Apparently she was able to release her own solo album later thanks to the money and clout she got from all this. I'm not exactly a JLo fan (I'm pretty neutral about her) but she didn't steal anything from these girls.
@@devontehuntley6274 J Lo is a known song stealer. Even If You Had My Love was stolen from someone else. Remember what she did Mariah Carey.
I heard JLo's cover version on the radio on the way to work yesterday. I like this, the original, much better 🎶🎵😀
WTF?? I just discovered this song!! I feel like when I found out that Torn by Natalie Imbruglia was a cover of the Danish song BRÆNDT!!
so did i for both songs actually XD and they are both 2 years appart from the covers
Torn was written by the LA rock band "Ednaswap". The Danish version was also a cover.
@@keptins No, the Danish version came first though and was the first recorded version of the song. Ednaswap then decided to do a version themselves, so theirs is actually a cover despite writing it. Odd enough, some people know this and still feel the Danish version is a cover because Ednaswap wrote it. But who cares? It's all about what was recorded and released first. Like if Beyonce decided to write a song for Rihanna and she does it first, and then Beyonce decides to do a version of it, it does not make Rihanna's song a cover. Her version came first. Beyonce's would be the cover whether she wrote it or not because it wasn't initially for her.
And there were other versions of the song prior to Natalie's version. Like three of them I think and they all sounded identical, so I don't see what Natalie did that made hers jump so much, but so be it.
@@devontehuntley6274 omg complexes talking lol
But that song became popular only thanks to Natalie and that’s it. The original version is even hurting my ears
I just discovered this today. and I like it better.
Me encanta esta versión ya que es la original pero la de Jennifer no se queda atrás 😍😍😍 quien sea que la cante me gusta el ritmo y la letra
Q maravilla por dios!! Una gran y verdadera VOZ❤❤❤❤. Jlo no seria nadie si Selena no hubiese partido
Omg, I never knew this was the original version!
J-Lo, Natalie Imbruglia, and Kylie Minogue... I thought they were the original up until now. I was played for like 20 years.
Just from the 1st two lines this is already better than the cover. 👍
It's too bad that this version isn't as well known. I like that it's less polished and saturated, and more soulful. The J-Lo version is good, because that's the one I remember as a kid. However after discovering this version, I'd have to say 3rd Party's version is superior.
IKR?????? shut me up!!!!!!!!!
"MC" Walter agreed
superior?? LOL J.Lo's versión is iconic, a classic!!
J.Lo's version added latin percussions, less cheap voice effects. It was predicative of theearly 00s sound and is way more iconic and has aged way better than this mess.
LMAO at this Kids Bop sounding version being "superior" to Jennifer Lopez's version.
Great the original song. More europe sound in the 90s. It's seems just a little bit the italian disco dance as Datura, JT Company, Neja. This song is so super!!!
I knew when jLo came out with her version, I said I heard this song before but couldn't recall who did it until today. Kelly Clarkson did a cool rendition of it on her show .
Jammed to this before J-Lo’s version. Love them both
Sometimes great songs just get sung by lots of people. This is terrific. So was Jennifer Lopez' version.
Always loved this group, and i could never figure out why they never got credit for singing this song originally. I still have their CD after all these years, and some of the tracks hold up really well
I like both versions.
Love This Original 💖💖💖
I love Jlo she's my icon but I love this song on the original. Don't hate on Jlo plzzz. We all know we copy and see different results with our way of doing it.
Escuchando este tema y descubriendo en 2024 que Jlo copio el tema arriba de este tema , por dios cuántos temas estoy descubriendo y que jamás escuche❤. Excelente tema❤
This is the one i knew when i was younger. I listened to the jlo one and was thinking it didn't sound right. Then found this thanks to the internet. This one is better imo.
Where are they now? We need 'em now to save the music!!
Retired. Maria more-so coaches. I'm friends with her on Facebook and even urged her to get back out there. I'm like if Cher can make a comeback song at age 52 with "Believe" then she could too with something, particularly an update of this song to take back the credit Jennifer Lopez took from her and ran with.
This version was super trendy for the time but JLO's rearrangement is TIMELESS!
I was today years old when I found out this is the original one. Thanks to Roomie Official.
It's a fantastic track.
This original version sounds like an early 90's song, with a few late 80's vibes, their voices are good, I'd totally be dancing to it and everything, I love it, ...but the JLo version....so much better in my opinion; but only because I think they worked on it, looked into it longer! It's that percussion, the hint of guitar, not to mention the tone of Jlo's voice in that song; really good. The whole thing sounds like latin pop whereas this 3rd party one sounds like a Eurovision song? Which to me, simply means that they probably didn't work on it with the amount of love it actually needed. Basically a kickass song with a lot of potential.
There’s nothing remotely 80s sounding about this song at all. It sounds straight 90s eurodance
J LO ain't even singing it.
love this, has more of that full-on mid 90's feel
It's their vocals that are used as back track vocals on Jennifer's version.
I thought I had heard this before Jlo - in a club in Manhattan. When I first heard Jlo's version I thought it was an older song.
Yeah me too. As soon as I heard this, I’m like this is the original I remember hearing as a kid.
This blew my mind. I first heard Jennifer Lopez's version, but then I saw this album and noticed this song, but I thought this was a cover, and Jennifer Lopez's version was the original. Then I noticed this was released in 1997, before Jennifer Lopez's version, and was like "WTF?!".
How disappointing to hear one of J.Lo's hits was…Well, not her own
Collin Samatas one of? Lol no dear boy all of her hits are not her own.
I get really tired of people not knowing how songwriting works. Yes they released this song but also disbanded in 97. As a singer it would be amazing if a song that did nothing for me got pitched to a huge artist. The original artists of this song are super happy it got a refresh,became a hit and thus songwriting royalties for forever.
all "her" greatest hits were in fact not hers - if you had my love, i'm real, ain't it funny, get right, jenny from the block are all covers
Even the voice not her.
how did u think ashanti feel ?
Jennifer Lopez kept the memory of this song Alive! Ba dum dum.
Jennifer Lopez bought this song, covered it and made it a hit!
What's the problem? ALL LEGAL.
No Problem- Some people just like this version better. I disagree, but to each his own.
Covered it? Its like amost the exact same vocals XD
i really like this original version. i wished does women got more recognition for this song.
only found out about this in the "jlo ghost singer" video.
All I can say is that Tommy Motolla really went full on to get J. Lo to the top at all cost, so Mariah's career would really take its toll after leaving Sony for good. I appreciate both versions, this original is cut-out for European taste.
its LITERALLY the same song lol
I mean Mariah's career was over when people realized she cant sing
@@jakerodriguez4985 mariah can't sing?? are you an idiot? have you ever heard her sing live? she's one of the most beautiful voices in the world
Mariah has a several songs that are covers.. dumb ass!
This is the version I remember from 1997. I never even heard JLos until the Superbowl. I like this one better
The original is always the best.
From
As you hear on J-stoLen Hits
All my life i legit thought it was sung by Jennifer Lopez. Now i don't know which version is best anymore.
Jennifer Lopez has some nerve proclaiming she HATED this song and then keeping half the OG song in her version. 😂
O Ano era 1997 🎉
I was kinda mad I found out JLo didn’t have this song originally though I like this one
Both have their vibe. But i enjoy JLo cover more. But I’ll definitely be playing this to switch up.
I always wondered why JLo's version reminded me of Real McCoy's "Another Night" and Amber's "This Is Your Night". Now when I checked it due to Wikipedia I agree that the original version sounds a lot kinda German Eurodance of mid-90s.
It's those organs
JLO's version is Way, Way, Way Better ... but without this version there's no JLO's version... So, You have all my gratitude for creating one of the most popular dance songs ever !
Maria Christensen's vocals have so much soul
i STILL don't know huh
You really don't know Jennifer Lopez
@@adoboFosho who?
@@torquettalk j lo?
@@adoboFosho not the joke flying over your head LMAOOO
I’m sorry, this is better! I loved third party and had no idea this was theirs. I have the single love is alive and still play it
The only version I listen to
Wow! Ambas versiones están muy buenas. Siempre pensé que JLO eran la original.
Wow. How disappointing is this. My whole childhood I thought this was a Jennifer song...
Ikr 😭😭😭
3rd party release it in 1997 jennifer Lopez cover was in 1999
Well judging by your eyebrows you don't look disappointed, more Surprised if anything ;)
Jennifer hated it and never wanted to hear it again. But she made a hit out of it.
@@adrianflores581 Lol :D
I just love ❤️ song 🎵 🎧 all versions
Love this original record, J lo just made an copy of that .
I like the synths and keyboards on this version it’s higher up in the mix but I like the drum programming and percussion on jLo’s version - combined it gives a 80s/90s freestyle vibe
How is this not on Spotify?
JLo owns this song now.
Because sounds trashy that’s all !
The band broke up before the song was reworked
@@jorgeflores7193 lmao shit 😂
I love this version better brings back them good ole days !
I don't understand why this song was not a hit when it was released by 3rd Party in 1997.. It was just two years before JLO's cover.
People in the music industry can be pretty dumb. Some of the people pitching J.Lo didn’t even think it would be a hit for her.
it's been years since my discovery and i still listen/play this version ONLY. it has that pop that wouldve really made it a club staple. J lo and diddy don't deserve peace.
this sounds so unseasoned omg im so glad JLEGENED revamped this tired cover song & gave us an iconic new years eve anthem!
Wot
I like this better than the original!
Oh wait..
Did Jlo use their voices too?
Best burn of 2021
Yes Their vocals can be heard in her version. -_-
I like these vocals waaaaaaay better. However I like the production of the remake. If they remastered this it would probably have that crisp sound Im used to.
Jlos version is shit. Period.
Por eso la versión de Jennifer López siempre se sintió tan Eurodance... ¡originalmente es una canción 100% eurodance!
