Advantages: very high percentage great tracks Disadvantages: may not be urban enough or latin enough for some
I really slagged off (by my standards) Jennifer Lopez's third studio album in a review a few months back and I've felt kind of bad about it ever since because, although it wasn't a great album, I didn't want to leave the wrong impression of her as an artist. I simply felt that, in comparison to her second album, "J-Lo", her follow-up was a letdown. So I figured it was really only fair of me to review THIS far superior album.
"J-Lo" is a bit more ...

Advantages: Great upbeat songs Disadvantages: dissapointing followup to On The 6
...by Epic Records in 2000, J.Lo was the eagerly awaited second album to be released by the new Latin Diva Jennifer Lopez. Her highly successful debut album On The 6 was one of the biggest selling Latin albums of 1999 along with Ricky Martins self titled English album. The album contains 15 great tracks, 7 of which Jennifer co-wrote herself.
Track 1. Love Don’t Cost A Thing
Love Don’t Cost A Thing was the first track to be released from ...

J Lo is O.K. Review ofJ.Lo [PA] - Jennifer Lopezby
EnglishPatient
Advantages: Disposable, enjoyable dance-pop for the masses Disadvantages: Nothing new in either the music or lyrics, homogenised at times and occasionally too plagiaristic for comfort
Jennifer Lopez is the modern record executive's dream. An all-singing, all-acting, Latino sexbomb with a wide appeal - male, female, pre-teen, post-teen, and just about anything besides. Even the hard-to-please critics can find nothing much to criticize, either on record or on film.
J Lo, the snappily titled second album, puts Lopez right at the heart of current pop culture. Her debut offering, 1999's On The 6, was a mixed bag of mostly exotic ...

1.Love Don't Cost A Thing-This was the first song reeased from this album and it got into the number 1 spot. I love the song, it has such a great beat and the music is fantastic. A great song for a dance with such an upbeat sound. I love the lyrics on the song, especially "what I need from you is not available in stores" it's clever because in this line it expresses the whole theme of the song. The video was good and showed her throwing her jewellery ...

Great Review ofJ.Lo [PA] - Jennifer Lopezby
Iva_Biggin
Advantages: Great songs Disadvantages: none
J.Lo's quest to conquer so many mediums of entertainment is unparalleled. No other diva-or otha diva, hun-with the exception of Lopez comes to mind.
On the heels of the Latin invasion, Lopez seem poised to dominate the charts without any serious female rival. Innocuous and bland, the material on "On the Six" did not afford Lopez the same dent that the charasmatic showman Ricky Martin was awarded; "the song made the man and the man made the song", ...

Advantages: great music Disadvantages: some ballads which arent that great
Jennifer Lopez, has become a really talented singer, she used to be more popular with her acting until she released her debut single If You Had My Love. She is that successful that she has now released a second album, even writing some of the songs herself.
I bought this album about 3 months after release, after hearing more of the singles. The singles on the album are her number one 'Love Don't Cost A Thing', 'PLay' and her new single 'Ain't It ...

great follow up Review ofJ.Lo [PA] - Jennifer Lopezby
dcgirl2000
Advantages: great combination of sounds Disadvantages: none
I personally think that J LO is a fantastic follow up to Jennifer's debut album 'On The 6'. I bought this album because I love the first single to be released from it 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' and basically because I think that Jennifer is a great singer and I wanted to hear what the rest of the album sounded like.
On this album, there are actually a lot more R'n'B tracks than on her debut where a lot of the tracks were latin. On this CD, there ...

Advantages: good anthem Disadvantages: bad vocals, some noriginal songs
...J.Lo.
11) Secretly
Again co-written by J.Lo this track is a very slow, sweet ballad. Again another slow slumberous song so try not to fall asleep!
12) Im gonna be alright
J. Lo wrote this track too and it has a Latin influence. I don’t think this song is a brilliant song for J. Lo’s voice but the chorus is very infectious. I believe this was also released as a single but as a remix. The remix is definitely much more better than ...

Hello J Lo Review ofJ.Lo [PA] - Jennifer Lopezby
JOHNV
Advantages: Some good, colourful tracks Disadvantages: A few dull numbers
A quick listen to Jennifer's first few singles made me think there wasn't much to choose between her and the inescapable Whitney, Britney and Mariah, but after listening to this album I'll come clean and admit I've been maligning the lady. This is better than I expected. It could have been just a run-of-the-mill dance album, and with all due respect part of it is, but some of it stands out from the rest of the pack thanks to some nifty Latin American ...

Advantages: Lots of potential hits Disadvantages: Departure from old album
JLO is a great second album. I bought the first and frankly it was a bit thin on quality. There were two or three strong tracks and nothing much else. So I was not really expecting too much from this album. I must admit that I was surprised by the quality of the tracks on here.
Known more for her behind than her singing it is easy to dismiss Miss Lopez as just another actress trying her hand at music. But Jennifer is no Caprice. She has great ...

Advantages: very Latino, track 5 is especailly good Disadvantages: not totally orginal
Ok, to be totally honest, when I heard my friend had bought the new Jennifer Lopez album 'J LO', I laughed, I expected it to be rather cheesy, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard some of the songs that she released into the charts, they were rather catchy, but nothing spectacular. J LO is the follow up to her debut album 'On the 6' which was released in 1999.
I quite liked the first track which she released 'Love Don't Cost a Thing', but ...

BennyRialto
Advantages: ?? Disadvantages: Ugh...
What is it about these people? Money, beauty, glitz, and glamour, and it all becomes too much. Here we have a woman who, so driven by her own image, actually has the audacity and pretentiousness to ABBREVIATE her own full name to 'J Lo' and then call her album by it. The cheek. Not only that, but she also complains about the size of her bottom. Now call me trite, but for one of the world's most beautiful women to complain that her bum is too big smacks ...

In my own personal opinion I think that this album is better than her other one. The album is really good and is definetly worth buying my fave song on the album is PLAY, I dont know why I like that one but the tune is catchy.
Her new song aint it funny hasnt yet been released in the charts but you can watch it on the music channels, the video for it is done in black and white, I also like this song as the beat in the song is catchy and it makes ...

A real mix Review ofJ.Lo [PA] - Jennifer Lopezby
sweetiepie
Advantages: Good songs with a good dancey beat, good cover and layout. Disadvantages: A few sameish sounding tracks, a couple of songs are slightly boring.
I recently purchased this cd because i loved the songs 'love don't cost a thing' and 'play'. But the problem is that a lot of the tracks on this cd are very sameish and i find myself getting confused with which songs which! She obviously has the talent as many of the songs prove, but this album dosn't seem to be her best effort, although there are quite a few good tracks.
There is a definate latino feel to the album, especially in the tracks 'carino' ...

Advantages: Upbeats Lyrics Disadvantages: Nothing Original
This is Jennifer Lopez follow up album and although the first was of average quality, the second to be honest isnt that much better.
The songs on the album are of poor to average quality witht he exception of two to three songs - Love dont cost a thing and walking on sunshine are probably the best two singles on the album.
Dont get me wrong I think Jennifer Lopez is a fantanstic singer, but with the female competition at the moment for example ...
