A clip that allegedly features Jennifer Lopez butchering the mess out of the Donna Summer/Barbra Streisand duet ”No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” has hit the Internet. (Look Lees Meer)
The footage, posted on YouTube over the weekend, is said to be an outtake from J.Lo’s stab at the 1979 hit during recording sessions for her in-limbo album “Love?”
The woman is heard singing several lines way off key, before stopping and yelling: “Wow! I’m sorry everybody, that hurt me, too. Sorry, that sounded so f**king crazy.”
The voice is then heard repeating the lyrics several times trying to hit the right key — laughing all the while at her inability to do so.

TV One’s series “UnSung” reveals the life of a ’70s Disco Queen tonight. While the names Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor might come to mind, it’s singer Sylvester that’s the focus of the upcoming episode.
Sylvester James’ journey to fame and tragedy began when he left his Los Angeles home at age 16 and headed straight to San Francisco. The singer launched his career just a few years later in 1967, joining music productions, teaming for a short stint in a group of transvestite performance artists (The Cockettes), and picking up a following as a popular nightclub singer in the 70s.
After a flock of labels, bands, and trios, Sylvester formed a group with future Weather Girls Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes. His hit, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” became a disco classic. Tragedy struck in the 1980s for the singer. As he watched close friends die from AIDS complications, he too was diagnosed with the HIV virus and died in 1988.
Although Sylvester’s hit “You Make Me Feel” was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and he himself in 2005, TV One’s “Unsung,” reflects that the star lost its shine too soon. “It brought back a lot of memories,” Wash said after screening the television show. “There were some things that I hadn’t even seen before. It was very interesting listening to other people talk about him. I think he was a lot of things to a lot of people.”
