j.LoUBOUTINS... RIGHT.

It's been a minute since j.Lo jumped back into the scene with her performance at November's American Music Awards. The show served as her "launch-pad," if you will, for her new single, 'Louboutins.' The thing is, I'm still trying to understand why Jenny-from-the-block is singing about Louboutins (from designer Christian Louboutin). She claims that the song is about love, and "all the questions we have about it." Yet the highlight of the song is obviously the red-soled shoes. Right, j.Lo.

If this is the direction that pop music is headed, then this has got to be the end. (Although arguably, the end had already come when Vitamin C burst onto the scene for a hot second.)

I feel like j.Lo has seriously opened the door for other ridiculous songs to infiltrate the airwaves. I have a feeling that Taylor Swift will come up with a teen-angst song about "love" and Manolo Blahniks, or Leighton Meester will channel her inner "xoxo, Gossip Girl" with a song about Jimmy Choos. And I'm sure the craze will only continue with blips about other luxe shoe brands: Bottega Veneta, Stuart Weitzman, Tod's... Maddening much?

The sad truth is that j.Lo is one of those artists who isn't a particularly good singer, but she somehow always comes out with a stupid song with a hot beat. So you can't help but fall into the trap of her catchy tunes much in the same way that you do with Beyonce or Lady Gaga (difference is, however, Bey and Lada Gaga can actually sing ---as much as I hate to even admit to that...).

While j.Lo's performance at last month's AMAs were nothing short of a hot mess, I'm happy to say that she redeemed herself with a performance of the forsaken song at last night's finale show of So You Think You Can Dance. Take a look:



Looks like Jenny-from-the-block has moved on up to the Upper East Side.
