   Summary: Going, Going, Gone : The Rapid Descent of J.Lo

Listening to Lopez now, its amazing that she's even had a musical career for so long. Unlike many reviewers, I actually own this album on my Ipod, so can write a review for the music itself, instead of mindlessly bashing this poor woman.

That said, the lead track alone made me cringe : "Stay Together". In this track, Lopez inexplicably assures us, like some matronly Dominican aunt, that these days 'staying together' is the 'in' thing, and breaking up is not. You must hear the actual lyrics. Admittedly, I was mortified that someone could actually write something so weak and insipid, but to have the nerve to record it makes me wonder what happened to Lopez. At least at one point she had the sense to make good tunes - now, even this quality is missing.

Lead single "Do it well" sounded good upon first listen when I first heard it. Its like a sunny mix between early Gloria Estefan and some Thalia thrown in, but make no mistake, this is perhaps the only song on the CD worth singing along to.

I hear people saying that the last song on the album is the best as its simply 'intoxicating' and 'bewitching'. I don't think they've been listening to this album. At best this is a disgusting amalgamation of everything that's wrong with the Latin pop genre, multiplied by five. At least Ricky Martin knew when to quit. Lopez on the other hand has sunk to releasing very mediocre music - I wonder who would really buy this.

Heres the thing - pop music can be gloriously bad, but it should always be fun. It doesn't have to inspire you, but it should be memorable for what its worth, or at least enjoyably disposable. This album is none of these things, and the bloated picture of Jennifer's picture on the back cover is even more bewildering. This is supposed to be sexy? I just do not get the entire creative process that supposedly went into making this sad record, and everyone associated should quit while they're ahead. Give me my Jennifer Love Hewitt albums anyday.

   Summary: 15 minutes & 59 seconds... ...time's running out for J-Ho...,
Picante-Pants is back with a brand-new record and this one is HOT, HOT, HOT!!! Jenny plans to thank a box of Nair and a bottle of bleach for making this CD possible.

You know, I really can't stand this woman. Is it still politically incorrect to speak your mind? I don't care. I am proud to be a citizen of the best country in the world and I will speak my mind if I want to. But really, I don't hate her because she's a mean (rhymes with) witch. And I don't hate her because she spits on everyone who isn't rich and famous. And I don't hate her because her legs are looser than O.J. after being tried for double-homicide. I just don't understand how someone like this can keep making music because she has zero talent. As usual, on her latest CD she's way too eager to be popular. And she has nothing to say. This excrement-on-a-CD is horrific, it actually makes my ears bleed. To simply call it bad would be a huge understatement. It's so poor, it's Gigli-Bad. I hope she disappears as fast as she came. Maybe we'll all get lucky and someone will throw a bucket of water on her. Oh but don't worry Jenn-Jenn, I'm sure there'll always be a spot for your fat bee-hind, on Page 6, right below Brit!

BTW, has anyone seen Jen lately? Just because she is having a baby does not mean she should look like a pig (or look any more like a pig than she normally does.)

   Summary: HORRIBLE!!
I have all of Jennifer's cds and even though she's not a TRUE singer, she has been entertaining since her 1999 cd debut. I loved every cd up until now. I think with the movie, her debut spanish cd, tour, and the BABY(???), she overexposed herself, which technically isn't bad to have 4 out of 5 things to go well(the baby deliver & outcome remains to be seen). My favorite is the heavy sampled "Hold It Don't Drop It." I only like "Do It Well" because of the video. Her debut cd was great & fun and most of all, made sense. Ben Affleck said recently that dating her was the low point of his career, however J-lo benefited with the stellar "This Is Me...Then" cd. I guess she can say to Marc....he only benefited her in Spanish songs, not English ones!!

   Summary: Jennifer Lopez: Volume 7
When BRAVE is good, it's brilliant. It mixes R&B, dance and pop, with a few ballads thrown it. Jennifer's vocals have improved immensely.


But does BRAVE have some really good tracks? The first single `Do It Well' is a fantastic hip hop/dance hybrid. More production time has been spent on 'polishing' up the following tracks; `Forever', `Hold It, Don't Drop It' and `Mile In These Shoes' - planned future singles?

`Stay Together', `The Way It Is', `Wrong When You're Gone' and `Brave are also way above average.

That only leaves 4 songs that aren't bad, just boring. `Gotta Be There', `Never Gonna Give Up', `Be Mine' and `I Need Love'.


Whilst more casual music fans may find BRAVE to be hit or miss, the enthusiast will find this to be a solid entry is Ms Lopez' résumé.




* Plus, the 'bonus track', the `Do It Well' remix, featuring Ludacris is pointless. Why ruin a good song?
