Hear Brandy’s Original Version Of Jennifer Lopez’s Flop Single “Louboutins”

Have a morbid curiosity to hear the original version of Jennifer Lopez flop “Louboutins,” before Mrs. Marc Anthony got her mitts on it? Well then you’ve come to the right place. Turns out the Dream and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart-produced jam was originally intended for Brandy, who recorded a rough version of it before she was dropped by Epic. Alas, “Louboutins” appears to be the kiss of death, as Lopez’s version (and subsequent failure to dent the Hot 100) brought about her removal from the Epic roster, as well. Hear Brandy’s version below! First, here’s Brandy’s unpolished version of “Louboutins”:

And here’s J.Lo’s rendition of the song:

To these ears, there doesn’t appear to be much to crow about with either version, and it probably all just comes down to which of the singers themselves you prefer.

So what do you think—is there a clear cut winner between the two, or is “Louboutins” simply a song best shoved in a shoebox and buried in the back of the closet?
