 A review from a non-spanish speaker who doesn't have a clue what she's singing May 26, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Wow! Some of these reviews are harsh. I speak Mandarin and English, I took high school Spanish for a year, I understand about a word here or there from her songs.
That being said, I know good music when I hear it. For an artist to make me like to her Spanish album is certainly no easy feat. No, I can't tell if her spanish is strained or unnatural sounding, but I can tell tell what shes singing sounds good and the music and beats are not bad either. I can't tell if the contents of her lyrics are worthy of a grammy, but from the lyrical translations I found, they don't seem that bad. Nearly all the songs on this album are worth listening to as well (definitely a rarity these days).
Anyway, I just had to write this review. Sometimes music just sounds good. Maybe it's not 5 star perfect, but sorry, I just had to give 5 stars for those of who giving 1 stars as if this album is trash.
An above-average vanity project March 29, 2007

In the hands of a more capable singer, "Como Ama Una Mujer" would've become one of this year's best Spanish-language releases. Don't get me wrong, I actually think Jennifer has a very pretty singing voice -- given the right material, that is. Let's be fair: her music career didn't take off because of her vocal abilities (in fact, her singing was often mediocre throughout her first album) but after years of recording, she was only bound to improve upon them. I defy anyone who thinks this woman can't sing to listen to her best album to date, "This Is Me...Then" (2002), specifically the songs "Again" and "Baby I Love U!" The passion in her voice makes you wish for Bennifer's reunion. Obviously, she's at her peak when she's -- ahem -- "inspired." When she's not, she can be downright boring: 2005's "Rebirth" was an unspeakably second-rate product for a star of her magnitude -- probably her own fault for believing she can compensate for substandard records with cute movies and fashion lines.
But now she's inspired again, this time by current hubby Marc Anthony, who happens to be a Latin singing star. The result: "Como Ama Una Mujer," a collection of ballads sung completely in Spanish -- you have to give her kudos for not compromising and recording English versions of the singles for crossover success. It's her most ambitious album to date and her second best overall. Still, although she's grown into an able singer during the last decade, the fact is that power ballads are meant to be sung by powerful voices. In her favor, though, I'm sure it wasn't easy to be fully confident singing such challenging material in a second language.
Having said that, however, let me also say that this is definitely a record worth giving a spin, especially if you're a fan of Latin pop or AC radio. "Que Hiciste" is the kind of Spanish-language single that actually merits the far-ranging success gained by less deserving hits like (Shakira's) "La Tortura" and (Daddy Yankee's) "Gasolina." Breakup narrative "Porque Te Marches" -- which was, ironically, one of the worst songs on "Rebirth" as its English-language incarnation, "(Can't Believe) This Is Me" -- works infinitely better in Spanish. "Tu" is a beautiful love song with a soaring chorus, "Apresurate" is quickly becoming my favorite track on the record and "Adios" is a majestic farewell showpiece that could've done without the live audience background. Filler? Maybe "Te Voy A Querer," a midtempo ballad with a messy chorus that never goes anywhere. Subtract it, and there's not a second to skip over on this disc. Overall, an effort Jennifer has definitely earned the right to be proud about.
She's completely reinvented herself for "Como Ama Una Mujer" and after releasing a project of this class, it would be a shame if she slipped below its level in the future. Of course, none of these songs are her own compositions -- the whole album was written and produced by Marc Anthony in partnership with other Latin music figures. But if she's going to be singing, she might as well sing something worth singing, right? And "Como Ama Una Mujer" was worth it. How do I know? Well, this is the first time I've been persuaded to post a CD review in years.
Phenomenally Put Together- Jennifer Lopez Shines!!!! April 3, 2007
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Como Ama Una Mujer is an amazing piece of work, if Laura Branigan had ever recorded a spanish album, i would put my bets on it, that this is how it would sound like. You could really feel the growth in Jennifer Lopez's voice and the maturity in the lyrics! i really won't be surprised if thi album becomes a classic.
1.Que Hiciste- A very strong opening to the album, you can actually feel the wrath in her voice, especially when you'r reading the lyrics and looking at that amazingly beautiful picture of hers right next to it. and at the same time your wondering: how is it that such a beauty could be pouring out her heart with so much sorrow and pain! 10/10
2.Me Haces Falta-This could easily become anyone's favorite song, the guitars are put together phenomenally. I am COMPLETLY in LOVE with this song because of lyrics and the beat! This song should be a single. 10/10
3.Como Ama Una Mujer-I could really see Latin superstar Lucero singing this song back in her days. it has this 90's Spanish epic ballad feel to it. 10/10
4.Te Voy A Querer-a semi-upbeat song. i really like how they used accordions to creat this stong mysterious sound, and the chorus is quite catchy. 9/10
5.Porque Te Marchas-I love both the English and Spanish versions of this song. Its just such a powerful and moving track. 10/10
6.Por Arriesgarnos- when you first hear Jennifer sing, it sounds like something you hear in a fairy-tale. It's quite touching 9/10
7.Tu- WOW!! Tu is such an AMAZING love song, you can feel the conviction in her voice with every word she sings. everytime i listen to this song it sends shivers down my spine! The vocals are amazing! 10/10
8.Amarte Es Todo- a smooth ballad. 9/10
9.Apresurate-I really like this song, it has a good vibe to it. 9.5/10
10.Sola- This is such a haunting song. it sounds like she doesn't give a damn about anything, and like she's at the brink of a breakdown. i love when se sings "i esta vez disparaste a matar" and then goes into the chorus. it just sounds so convoluted! 10/10
11.Adios-Jennifer could have not picked a better song to end this gorgously crafted masterpiece. Her vocals and the choir really give it "goodbye" sort of feeling, especially when she sings, "adios me voy adios/ i no me dejas ni tan solo una esperanza/ adios amor adios.10/10
Overall Como Ama Una Mujer is A rougly enjoyable album for everyone.
It's definatley worth every dollar!
GREAT ALBUM! April 6, 2007
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Going into this album, I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean we've gotten songs like Waiting For Tonight, all the way down to Jenny From The Block. And No Me Ames all the way down to Escapemonos. Jennifer is a multi-genre artist. She could do POP/DANCE/R&B and with great success. (Check her Chart History). Anyway, I was very curious to hear this album so I pre ordered it. I didn't know WHAT sound this album would have. But I was willing to take a chance on it.
Let me begin by saying WOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE this album came from Jennifer Lopez. This is an album that I Loved from start to finish. ALTHOUGH I could have done without adios. I was shocked to hear such a smooth album. The lyrics were written to PEREFECTION and Marc's back up vocals were the icing on the cake as far as I was concerned.
If you're a fan of Jennifer's other music, then you'd probably dislike this album. But if you love GREAT LYRICS, Smooth Vocals, and the wonderfully creative sound of Latin Music, this album is for you.
I Applaud Jennifer Lopez for taking a risk and not trying to do what's "HOT" at the moment, but doing a smooth ballad filled album that has surely has quenched my thirst. As a fellow Puerto Rican, she has SURELY made me proud. Keep taking Chances Jennifer.. I am proud of you. Que Dios Te Bendiga.

Jennifer Lopez is at her best with her first ever full length spanish album Como Ama una Mujer is just amazing!! I'm not a Latino nor do I know Spanish but, I absolutely love this album!! You can take this album and dance to it in a club in my opinion!! There are some very beautiful ballads on this album. I have all of Jennifer Lopez's albums and I love all of them but, I think Como Ama una Mujer is by far the best album that Jennifer Lopez has ever done and worth of dollar!!! Everything about this album is just a amazing!!! This is by far a must have album for any Jennifer Lopez fan!!!!
