    Who said it was her who picked live it up?
    After that tweet where she said: run when they say smash hit" it was pretty clear they made her to release it
    And you should know by now that she is there to sing the songs and say what she thinks about it, the last say is from the label

        I agree. Also, in this case, Jen repeatedly said the label told her she had to release it because it was a summer hit.

          Yea but she also said that Pitbull wanted it for himself but she liked it so much that she decided to keep it.

            Maybe they twisted her arm into thinking it was a great song lol either way i dont really get the vibe that she was totally passionate about it when she discussed it but i think she said that "summer hit" comment after it was already underperforming.

              She was talking about the demo
              When she first heard it, she liked it and she decided to KEEP it
              Notice that to keep is different from to release
              Take as exemple Rihanna with that song with chris brown
              She wanted to release it, the label said no and she used media and web to make people buy it as a single
              Def jam blocked it on radio and made rihanna back down
              As happened with katy perry where she wanted to release not like the movies instead of last friday night
              The label said no, and you saw what happened, she even refused to perform LFN on VMA and she didnt

              Anyway, the artist have no say on whats being released or not
              Because its the label who is going to pay for promotion, radio releases and video
              If the label thinks it is good enough, theyll release it, if dont, they wont

                yes, she said she wasnt sure to release the song, but the label wanted it as a summer single!

                hope they chose the right 1st single!

                  Here is the interview where she talks about this 'Live It Up' thing:

                  [BBvideo 716,428][/BBvideo]

                  It starts at 01:00. At 2:25 she clearly says it was a record label's idea.

                  I'm always wary regarding this backstage department, though, since we have no idea about what happens there.

                          She really should've stayed on Def Jam. They really weren't that bad if she actually PERFORMED and did the PROMO.

                                    I wouldn't have a problem with this strategy if we can get another single before the year ends.

                                      My guess - 'Louboutins' supposed to be her first single back then. But when this song flopped they turned it to viral single. Because we expected 'Love?' in 2009, do you remember? That guy before her performance on AMA said 'Performing new single from her upcoming album 'Love?' - Jennifer Lopez!'...

                                        Remember when she clearly said they're goin to release a few singles first then the album in the fall or winter? What happened to that?

                                          Now it's easy to say it is just a summer single, but of course the label expected it to be the real 1st single. No one puts the promo, money and effort in a song like they did for 'Live It Up', if it was supposed to be a mere buzz single since the beginning. If the song had did well, we would have the GMA performance, a new single now and the album in November or earlier, I suppose. I agree with Kate and now it's basically the same thing with Louboutins and Love?. We're going in circles with this talk, though.

                                          I hope we get a single before Idol and a good promo for it. It's a common sense she will use the show to promote her music, but I hope she can use another platforms and strategies as well, I mean, I hope her music won't be only about Idol.
