Editorial Reviews :
Between her first and second albums, Jennifer Lopez moved from sharp hip-hop to a slicker sound that captured the sass and heat of the streets, thanks mainly to the production acumen of her erstwhile boyfriend Sean 'Puffy' Combs. On her third album, This Is Me ... Then, Lopez shows she's just as facile as her ex in changing names as well as musical personas. She abandons the impish J-Lo moniker for a more benign, and less interesting, Jenny, who makes an appearance on 'Jenny from the Block.' Here, Lopez insists she is still the same down-to-earth girl who emerged from the Bronx a decade before mega-stardom hit: 'I used to have a little/ Now I have a lot,' she chirps before cautioning, 'Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got/ I'm still Jenny from the block.' The claim stretches credibility given her well-documented status as a diva, but 'Jenny' shows more pizzazz and humor on the album than anything else, except for her saucy duet with LL Cool J on 'All I Have.' Elsewhere, the album--which includes nine songs cowritten by Lopez--serves up a recycled paean to '70s soul, an anemic cover of Carly Simon's vituperative 'You Belong to Me,' and cloying ballads inspired by her new fiancé, actor Ben Affleck. Lopez dedicated the disc to the actor and includes a far-too-personal and gooey love song to him titled 'Dear Ben.' In it, she declares: 'You'll always be my lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend and my king.' There's plenty of love here, but what's missing is the verve and crackle of Lopez's earlier stuff.
Buyer Reviews :
This album is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! Save your money, download it on [...] instead!
It is a wonder how Jennifer Lopez can even fathom that her voice is so great that she can sing ballads made for talented artist like Mariah Carey. I had to honestly CRINGE on some tracks because it hurt to hear her try to hit notes that just ARE NOT MADE FOR HER VOICE! We all have to admit that her voice is not unique, her other tracks caught on for their beats but this new album plummets the scale!
JLo's new album is just plain, bland, over-hyped JELLO (without the flavor)! The ONLY song worth listening to twice is Jenny from the Block, and that's just in comparison to her other songs.
The others are filled with her dronning voice & monotone sound. No catchy beats, just plain slow songs. I have nothing against love songs but hey, girl, you gotta have a voice first!
Save your money, her singing days are over. Want proof? Download a few songs & you'll agree!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS COMING TO. It's sad to think that Jennifer Lopez can put out an album with a flat voice... I guess it's true, Jenny is really from AROUND the block (and then some if you ask me!)
