==Music video==
'''Donovan Patton''' (born [[March 1]], [[1978]] in [[Guam]]), is best known for his role as '''Joe, ''' the second host of [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon's]] daytime children's [[television program]] ''[[Blue's Clues]]''.
The [[music video]] was directed by [[David LaChapelle]]. The [[choreography]] by [[Jeffrey Hornaday]] was adapted from his work for the 1983 film ''[[Flashdance]]'' starring [[Jennifer Beals]], whose character, Alexandra Owens, is also a construction worker by day and an exotic dancer at night. Lopez wore an outfit similar to that Beals wore in the actual film and she also stated that this was one of her most complicated videos and that a lot of effort was put in it. The video received four nominations at the [[2003 MTV Video Music Awards]]: [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video|Best Female Video]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video|Best Dance Video]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography|Best Choreography]], and [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Art Direction|Best Art Direction]].


The recreation of scenes from ''Flashdance'' led Maureen Marder—whose life was the inspiration for the storyline of the film—to sue Lopez, [[Sony|Sony Corporation]], and [[Paramount Pictures]] for [[copyright infringement]] in November 2003, claiming the video was an unauthorized depiction of her life story.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/jenniferlopez/articles/story/5936040/lopez_sued_over_im_glad |title=Lopez Sued Over "I'm Glad" |accessdate=2008-08-16 |last=Devenish |first=Colin |date=November 14, 2003 |work=[[Rolling Stone]]}}</ref> The lawsuit was dismissed in June 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/06/13/BAGJSJD89U1.DTL |title=Inspiration for 'Flashdance' loses appeal for more money |accessdate=2008-08-16 |last=Herel |first=Suzanne |date=June 13, 2006 |work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]}}</ref>

"Donovan Patton"
Song

"I'm Glad" is the third single from Jennifer Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002). Released in 2003, it did not follow the success of her previous two singles, peaking at number thirty-two on the Billboard Hot 100, though its remixes by Paul Oakenfold, Ford, and Murk became club hits in the United States, propelling the song to number four on the Hot Dance Club Play. The song samples Schoolly D's 1986 song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?".

Music video

The music video was directed by David LaChapelle. The choreography by Jeffrey Hornaday was adapted from his work for the 1983 film Flashdance starring Jennifer Beals, whose character, Alexandra Owens, is also a construction worker by day and an exotic dancer at night. Lopez wore an outfit similar to that Beals wore in the actual film and she also stated that this was one of her most complicated videos and that a lot of effort was put in it. The video received four nominations at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, Best Choreography, and Best Art Direction.

The recreation of scenes from Flashdance led Maureen Marder—whose life was the inspiration for the storyline of the film—to sue Lopez, Sony Corporation, and Paramount Pictures for copyright infringement in November 2003, claiming the video was an unauthorized depiction of her life story.[1] The lawsuit was dismissed in June 2006.[2]
