1) Aint It Funny (ALBUM VERSION)- It is strait off the album and has a GREAT trumpet intro!

2) Aint It Funny (SILK HOUSE MIX PT. 1 AND 2)- A good remix. A pretty long intro with the trumpet dubbed a bit, but this isn't the greatest remix I've heard.

3) Aint It Funny (BRANDNEW EXTENDED)- The 2nd best mix on the single. It has a great chorus intro and it keeps the beat going. Listen to this one first if you plan on buying it.

4) Aint It Funny (TROPICAL DANCE REMIX)- The 3rd best remix on the cd. It has a darkside intro and then gets to the hot spanish beat. Speaking of Spanish, the whole song is in spanish, but doesn't include the spanish rap as in the D'Hip Mix.

5)Aint It Funny (MURDER REMIX F/ JA RULE)- Whole new set of words. I hate it when they do that. It sounds good though

6) Aint it funny (D'HIP MIX)- #1 remix! Best track on the cd! Nice and slow and contains a kickin' rap from some rapper. But, it's in spanish and it sounds great! Please listen to this!

THAT'S IT. C YA


Outstanding if you like J-Lo's Latin styles.   August 15, 2001

If you like the original "album version" found on J-Lo, you will love this single. If you are looking for American style club mixes, don't bother unless you are a diehard J-Lo fan.

1) Album Version - Straight off the J-Lo CD. This song was instantly my favorite on the album, so I've been waiting for this single.

2) Silk's House Mix (8:28) - This is a standard, techno-style club mix that speeds the tempo up to 140 beats per minute (as opposed to 115bpm on the original). The mix eliminates all of the Latin flavor. The last few minutes kind of drags with mostly just a drum beat. It sounds like Silk added it as a long transition to mix into the next song when he's playing a club.

3) Brandnew Extended (4:54) - A better club-style mix at the same tempo as the original. Eliminates the background music except for a solid, electronic drum beat behind the singing and a transitional melody from the original album version.

4) Tropical Dance Remix (3:49) - This remix is very similar to the original album version, but it is entirely in Spanish, and cuts most of the intro & fade-out. The background music is slightly different than the original, and the background singers are different. The tempo is slightly faster at 120bpm. This is a very good remix if you like J-Lo's Latin influences.

5) D'Hip Mix (4:20) - This remix is my favorite by far. It's slightly slower than the original (110bpm) and has a solid, Latin style to it. This mix is entirely in Spanish and includes a 20 second Spanish rap by "D'Shon" toward the end of the song.

Cover art - two great photos of Jennifer.

Summary: If you like the original album version of this song and you like Jennifer Lopez' Latin influenced music (e.g. Carino, Let's Get Loud, Dame, Si Ya Se Acabo, etc.) then you will absolutely LOVE this single, and it will be well worth the money. If you don't think the album version of this song is your thing, then the single isn't for you...that's why it was only released as an international single. I gave this release 5 stars because Jenni's Latin-styled music is my favorite. If you are looking for something in the American-style club mixes, go with the "Play" or "Waiting For Tonight" single instead. If I were rating this release based on her club-style music, I would have given it 2.5 or 3 stars.

AIN'T IT FUNNY is her next international single, that is already rising on the U.K charts.This latin soulful song is across the lines of Enrique Iglesias's BAILAMOS, then breaks down into the sound of Madonna's LA ISLA BONITA.Her voice sounds more improved in the track, wich gives off a great soulful vibe.A must for any j~lo fan!!!!...


this ain't funny at all.   August 5, 2001

J Lo's remixes have usually been pretty darn good. Take a look at "Waiting For Tonight", "Feelin' So Good", "Let's Get Loud" & "Play". These singles all had fabulous remixes. So what happened with this one. Let's take a look shall we?

1) Album Version - 4:05 - A midtempo little jam with more than just a touch of Spanish influence. This is a decent song when Jennifer is singing the verses, but the background signers take over during the chorus totally drowning out Jennifer's vocals, which is just too loud. Not one of Jen's strongest singles, but it's not the worst thing she's ever done either.

2) Silk's House Mix pt 1 & 2 - 8:28 - Steve "Silk" Hurley is one of the early house pioneers. He's done remixes for such classic artists as CeCe Peniston, Kym Sims, Michael Jackson and Dannii Minogue back in the early nineties and more recently artists such as Stars On 54, Jestofunk, and Melanie B. So he's got alot of remix work under his belt. Too bad this one is so dull. Your basic plod, plod, plod remix. The intro starts out very promising with a very Spanish feel to it, but loses it as soon as the vocal comes in. Why is that? The deliverance of the vocal hasn't been tweaked at all and does nothing to bring this track to a new level. The chorus gals are screaming through this one as well. This one is NOT for club consumption.

3) Brandnew Extended - 4:54 - This one has a stronger beat to it which makes this one the best mix on the disc. The Spanish sound has been toned done a bit, but the chorus vocals have not. These girls need to stop screaming at us. This is the most R&B influenced remix on here.

4) Tropical Dance Remix - 3:49 - Unless you speak Spanish or love Spanish music, you will probably not enjoy this mix. Sung completely in Spanish, with a faster beat than the original, but pretty much the same thing. The chorus people don't scream at you in this one though.

5) O'Hip Mix - 4:20 - More of a bump 'n' grind mix here, and also sung completely in Spanish. But if you've ever wanted to hear Spanish rap, here's where you can do it.

So there you go, I'm probably going to get more than a few non-helpful votes from the J Lo fans, but guys, keep in mind, I am a huge J Lo fan. This is just not a good single. The only reason it gets two stars is because it's J Lo and the first three mixes are tolerable.
