Veteran pop hitmaker J.Lo returns with her first traditional solo album in a decade alongside an over-the-top bonkers movie. What are our thoughts?

I honestly don't get the hate either, and No, she hasn't done anything whatsoever, she hasn't said anything or done anything, this hate is coming from nowhere, they say she can't sing or her voice is weak, but so do many other artists who are extremely popular. It's such bs, she doesn't deserve any of this.

I don't get it either. Especially since many popular musician these days(most notably men) never get even a fraction of this kind of scrutiny on their vocals.

I want to thank you for an honest review without hating on it for clout and views, I absolutely love her and this album. I care not for hate on everything she does, it’s pretty forced to put it out there. She’s an amazing force as an artist. I believe that garish house is her own home in California by the way. It’s beautiful!!

I love the album and really enjoyed the movie, especially the cherography. Some people have a dislike for her because she continues to be relevant in spite of not being a great vocalist. She knows how to put on a show and is a damn good entertainer.

I would argue her voice has improved in the last 10 years. People just want to hate and say she can’t sing at all, I think that’s an extreme statement. People can say others can sing even when they don’t sing like vocalists

This artist literally works her ads off In EVERYTHING she does. She is a strong empowered woman in a man's world and they should respect her. The message she wants to put out is love yourself and don't take crap from anyone. As for her the people in her life they are All loved by her and supported by her. Jlo you are blessed and there are so many people that love you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

People think that On the Floor was his last hit but "Dinero" and "El Anillo" were HUGEEEEEE HITS in Latin America and Spanish-speaking countries. "El Anillo" is part of popular culture, if you mention the chorus phrase anyone knows what you mean

I think it's great R&B record, a great sequel to This is me...Then. Her best record tbh. BUT, it's not what she needed at this moment in music. She really needed her Cher "Believe" moment. Like, no one really wants a R&B record from a pop girly. Not even Beyonce is doing it. Ariana did house/pop for her new song, and it's working for her. Also, she needs to pay Europe some attention as they are much forgiving of older pop starts, it's what Madonna did for her Confessions on the Dance Floor record. I really enjoyed her film, and I think musicals might be an interesting avenue for more music.

I agree with you! I'm really happy with this album. You can tell that it came from genuine inspiration. Not her trying to follow trends. She simply wanted to make music and with that and with the producers that she worked with, I think it turned out to be a beautiful blend of 90s and early 2000s hip-hop/ r&b... yet, it still sounds/ feels modern day. Don't know how they managed to do that. But, it truly sounds like a timeless record. Whaaaaaattt!? not. going. anywere. is SO good!!! It's one of my highlights. I agree about Mad in Love though... I feel like it essentially says the same thing that Can' Get Enough does so I don't think we needed it.

I just want to address why the Spanish may not have worked out. Jlo is actually not fluent in Spanish and never really took time to cultivate that market. Becky G is not fluent either technically but her whole career is based in that market. Even Selena was weak in Spanish, but again her market was in Spanish. Jlo is not as big over there. They have Ivy Queen, a fellow Boriqua also from NYC. But made her career in Spanish. And is fully bilingual. She simply isn't as popular in the Spanish speaking Latino market. And there are more popular new generation Latinas that outshine her. Hope that helps!

The criticism she's getting recently is because it's been exposed that she has been stealing other artists songs and even using their vocals on most of her most popular songs. Ashanti and Christina Milian have talked about it. The girl who sang Jenny From the Block just recently came out. So people are feeling like her music career is fraudulent and she Milli Vanillied her way to the top. 💀💀💀💀🤷🏽‍♀

I would def put Beyonce in the "pop performer" category before calling her a true vocalist but I also recognize that's probably an unpopular opinion (or one that few ppl are willing to admit, lol)

It‘s become fashionable to hate her, people jump on bandwagons because they’re sheep. Many are stupidly young and are unfamiliar with her career. She may not have the strongest voice but you have to admire how much she has improved vocally compared to other pop stars. She is a beast on stage and compared to the majority of artists, no one can put on a show like JLo. She has achieved so much and you can’t look back at the early - mid 2000s and not think of JLo. The album is so nostalgic but also fresh and new, it’s not only a love letter to Ben but to us fans who have been following her since day 1.
