 Lets me jam with my pooches February 16, 2005
Lets me jam with my pooches, February 27, 2005
I appreciate having the finest pop music of today available in sheet music form. I also appreciate having some of the most finely written lyrics available to me. I like to leave this book conspicuously about my home, so that guests can see it and understand that I am a musical connaisseur. Some example locations where I have left the book in the past include the bathroom and the kitchen counter. I also try to leave it on my bedside table when I know the UPS man is coming over.
Anyway, I think that the lyrics to Jennifer Lopez songs should completely supplant poetry in American culture. Here is an example of why JLo's music is better than, say, John Donne. The following is excerpted from "Dear Ben," a lovely melody dedicated to the unbreakable love between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck:
I think God made you for me
A mix of passionate fidelity
Baby you're so complete
I write this song to let you know
That you will always be to me
My lust, my love, my man, my child, my friend
and my king...
Even as I type these lyrics to support my argument I am moved to tears. So beautiful . . .by the way, some people have argued that Ben and Jennifer are no longer in love, as evidenced by Jennifer's marriage to Marc Anthony. However, since Anthony is technically dead, this marriage does not count. Bennifer is still a real deal.
Anyway, these lines express a pathos beyond what poets have been able to achieve in thousands of years of striving. Why are we contenting ourselves with the skim milk of Barrett Browning, Eliot, and their ilk when we can have the cream that is Lopez?

PETA ROCKS!
 Great Album! November 29, 2007
I don't consider myself a J-Lo fan. Every now and then she releases a good single, but I don't leap for joy when a new J-Lo record hits stores. I happened to over hear this record in a friends car and I liked most of what I heard, so I decided to buy the album for myself. For the most part, I was pleased with this record. This album is very urban. Jennifer samples from several hip-hop tracks and delivers great beats on a lot of the tracks. She strays away from her Latin roots a little and approaches a more R&B style in her music, which I love. I'm shocked at the number of bad reviews this album has gotten. It is a good solid record. Most of the songs have great beats and catchy melodies. There are also some great ballads. "Dear Ben" is a beautiful tribute to...well you know. And although the relationship failed, the song does not. J-Lo's soft voice is incredibly pure and captivating. This album pulls you in from start to finish. There are a couple of road bumps along the way. "You Belong to Me" and "I've Been Thinkin" are a little to dull for my liking. However the rest of the album is pure gold. Highly recommended.
