 She CAN sing...a little. December 11, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Well, her voice isn't as bad as Britney's, which is entirely computer-enhanced. And she can entertain without resorting to gimmicks. Jennifer simply doesn't have that great a voice. However, that doesn't matter when her songs become hits and this album has sprung four big ones so far. It's a good, but not a great album and worth buying at a discount. The hit singles are the best reason to buy it, especially the "Murder Remix" of "I'm Real", which was added a few months after the first release of the original "J. Lo.". There are a few pretty good non-singles on this. The rest is somewhat unmemorable filler. The best songs are: "Love Don't Cost a Thing"-Still my favorite single, although we've all heard it a million times. "I'm Real" (Original Version)-A fun, catchy tune which oddly features her ex, P. Diddy (or Puff Daddy, P. Diddly, Sean Puffball Combs, or whatever he calls himself now) who utters "She's a bad, bad, b@#$%!" in the background. Oddly, Puffy has written three of the songs on this hit album. "Play"-Not great, but catchy. Of course, this is where Lopez curses for the first time. It works here, because it comes out of left field. I just hope she doesn't think that she HAS to curse to sell records (which is a big complaint for Janet Jackson's "All For You" album). "Ain't It Funny" and "Carrino"-Two tunes with fun Latin beats. "I'm Real" (Murder Remix)-What an awful name for a remix! Anyway, it displays the talents of Ja Rule, a tough-minded rapper with a tender side. The song starts in-your-face, then gets touching, and Ja Rule and J. Lo. work well together. Lopez utters the "N" word a couple of times, which caused some controversey. While I'm not offended by the lyrics, she shouldn't sing any ghetto-style lyrics. They clash with her image. The two songs that precede "I'm Real" are pretty good Spanish tunes. The rest of the album is rather dull. Overall, a good buy if you're a fan, or just want her hits.
 A bit of a filler, but don't get me wrong, most of its good. March 9, 2002

A lot of people criticise this album for having too many songs that aren't worth the money. I agree, but not on such a massive scale. Most of this album it's fine (mostly the first half) songs like 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' and 'Ain't It Funny' stick out as being the major smashes on the album, with their catchy lyrics and heavy beats, but don't overlook the rest of the album. Songs like 'Carino', 'Play' and 'That's Not Me' also have their moments, but mostly suffice as background music. A few of the songs on this album should have been overlooked completely (I'll let you decide them for yourself) but if you check out the last part of the album you'll find some slow and sexy jams like 'Come Over' which is my faivorite songs on the album, as it displays J Lo's true vocal talent. I also like the Murder Remix of I'm Real with Ja Rule because you can hear the Ja Rule touch through the song. Overall, try it out before you criticise it, and if at first you don't succeed, dust the album off and try again.
 Stick to dancing please. September 13, 2003

Would someone just tell this ghetto chick to just stick to dancing.This woman cant sing or act,so stick to dancing jennifer.All the songs sound the same and are very boring.The im real theme in her songs is getting very old and annoying.Who is she trying to fool by venturing into hip hop and featuring all hip hop rappers?Just another commercial ploy to make more money off of alot of trendy and simple minded people out there.Sooner or later this woman will get exposed as being all about image and none about musical ability.DONT BUY THIS CD!!!

If you are a person who thinks that they will like this cd. think again because i did the same thing and i did not like it abit. The only decent song is play. This song should say that it features christina milian. The rest of the songs are annoying. Jennifer lopez proves everyone that she is no better a songwriter than she is a singer, for example: come over - This showcases jennifers lack in talent and songwriting skills. Her vocals are lacking quality, and style.
carino - In this song she only sings the verses (which she does in 90 percent of all the songs on the album, such as play, and aint it funny) Jennifer lacks in telling us that it is christina milan singing in the chorus of play. I think that this album stinks. Dont buy this album. Jennifer hardly even sings in any of the songs. I think that jennifer is annoying.
 NEW VERSION July 25, 2001

For those of you wondering why Jennifer re-released her album "J.Lo" with an edited and un-edited version is because this new version features the same songs as the original "J.Lo" album plus one new song: "I'M REAL (MURDA REMIX)" Feat. JA RULE. Both the edited and un-edited versions contain the same songs. The only differences from both versions is the cursing in "PLAY" and "I'M REAL (MURDA REMIX)", (and possibly the original version of "I'M REAL")Either way this album is AWESOME, with or without the bonus remix or cusing.
