 Don't buy it! December 10, 2002
17 out of 21 found this review helpful
I love JLo's movies and loved her JLo CD and her remix CD but I totally hated this album. I bought it thinking it would be a good CD and after listening to it once I realized it was a waste of money. I should have listened to it before I bought it. She really disappointed me. The only good song in her album is her first single Jenny From the Block. The other songs [are bad]. Mostly because she CAN'T sing! She's doing songs that only people like Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton or Whitney Houston could do. These are ballads for singers with good voices. J-lo doesn't have an amazing voice like those other singers. She does good with songs like It Ain't Funny, Jenny From the Block, Play, but not with ballads. I'm gonna sell my copy on ebay because it's not worth my money. I expected better from Jennifer. If you are thinking of buying this CD DON'T! Instead get Mariah's Charmbracelet, that's a great album! JLO should definetely stick to fast songs!
 I like J. Lo but...zzzzzz..... January 1, 2003

It's not that this is that bad, it is that it is so catastrophically boring. She has eschewed the dance-latin-pop vibe that had an irresistible ...-shaking quality to it, for an impossibly bland, mid-tempo sound.
The worst thing about this album is that when you try to hum or recall the tunes afterwards, you will most likely end up humming a different song done by somebody else. These are too generic.
"On The 6" and "J. Lo" are much better, with much more personality, and some catchier-than-hell tunes.
 Quality Album... January 16, 2003

This is a very different album to her previous ones (on the 6, J.Lo and J To Tha Lo) but I was expecting it this way. Very nice slow, RnB/Soul songs... Some of the songs are *** but I like most of them...1. Still - Very nice beat, Cool lyrics, soft song 5/5
2. Loving You - Cool beat 5/5
3. I'm Glad - Average stuff 3/5
4. The One - Okay, the beat was good, lyrics poor 3.5/5
5. Dear Ben - Nice and soft, gentle beat 4.5/5
6. All I Have - Nice duet with LL Cool J - 5/5
7. Jenny From The Block - Pretty good 4/5
8. Again - Very, very nice, instrumentals superb 5/5
9. You Belong To Me - Nice faster beat 4/5
10. I've Been Thinkin' - Okay, nothing special 3.5/5
11. Baby I Love U - Average 3/5
12. The One (Version 2) (Bonus Track) Lovely song, nice beats and lyrics 5/5
My Cd also had the added track 'I'm Gonna Be Alrite' feat Nas... :-)
One Word: Boring! December 1, 2002
16 out of 21 found this review helpful
Instead of taking some time off to create an exciting new album with hot songs, Jennifer Lopez has decided to capitalize on her fame and rush out her third album, and the results come out sounding unfinished. Theres only one word that truly describes This is Me...Then, and that is Boring. She has abandoned her latin roots and hip hop sound and gone for an adult contemporary mess. Jenny From the Block is her weakest single she has put out on the radio, and sadly its the strongest on this collection boring ballads and unforgettable midtempo tracks. Her voice is as thin as ever, and she needs to stay away from ballads. They all sound the same and have the same subject matter, finding your true love and loving him for the rest of your life. Songs like Again , The One, and Dear Ben are obvioulsy dedicated to you know who. The only song worthy of any attention is Baby I Love You, a fun, midtempo track with a doo wop feel. If you're looking for songs like her previous hits I'm Real, Ain't it Funny, and If you Had My Love, you'll be very disappointed.
Such a shame December 16, 2002

There are only a couple of albums I would buy automatically, just because I know who the artist is and I can guarantee it'll be good. Trusty J-Lo CD's were one of them, always guaranteed to make you dance. So when "This is me...Then" came out, I immediately thought, "buy that next time I see it". But after hearing most of the tracks, I have decided to change my mind. What an utter load of repetition. All the songs sound the same. It's not the fact that she's dropped the trademark dancey, up tembo stuff, it's the fact that none of the songs are original at all.
What's made J-Lo famous in the music world has now been replaced by slushy ballads. And I mean slushy. I almost choked when I saw the titles, "Dear Ben" and "Baby I love you". Her transition to more "serious" music has been too sudden, and her first single "Jenny from the Block" is misleading for the rest of the album. How did this happen? Very rarely do I go from loving someones music to falling asleep. I want to love it, but I simply can't!
