I am sorry if theres any JLO fans out there but i truely dont understand why she is singing and making music?

Theres just no backbone to her as an artist. To me she just looks like shes in it for the fame and money, i mean does she write any of her songs? And one thing that makes me confused is, is she trying to be a r'n'b artist or an pop artist ? I think she hasn't found out what she is yet as an artist.

I personally think even Kylie is better then her, at least she knows and accepts that she is a pop artist! I dont know why some people put JLO to Madonna!!!!!! , Madonna kicks ass compered to the dismal JLO.

I think it will take a couple of years before JLO finally finds her true identity as a musicain. To me at the moment JLO is just another manufactured pop artist!

Is she a true pop artist? She performs pop songs. Well. She has sold a lot of said pop songs. That pretty much says to me that she is a true pop artist.

Doesn't mean she's any good though

This has been a bit of a head-scratcher to me as well.
Jennifer Lopez made a movie about a Mexican singer called Selina who, as far as I could tell, wore very nice clothes and had her hair styled nicely but her songs were utterly vacuous, almost as if they're sub-pop, if such a term exists. Jennifer Lopez strikes me as being exactly the same.
I'm totally befuddled by her.
And what was the "J Lo" re-naming all about?

I heard she's going to be calling herself "J-Fleck" after she marries Ben Affleck. All that money has most definately gone to her head, no matter how long she tries to kid herself she's still just Jennie From The Block

* Music
* Movies
* Perfume and Clothing

The woman isn't a pop artist, she is a product you can pin your ideas onto in order to sell them.

"I'm still Jennie From The Block" (meanwhile...)
"Love my life, and my public"

How MODEST !!

I dont know what it is, but I cant stand the woman.

She cant even really sing. Most of her stuff had Ashanti doing her bv's and, by the sounds of it, she was turned up higher than 'J-Lo'.

She just seems to use people to get herself known then casts them aside.

Puffy-gets herself a bit of credibility in the R&B/Hip-Hop world
Ja Rule then LL Cool J. Its only a matter of time before Nelly or maybe Justin get a call from the stuck up cow.

I like the new J-Lo and LL Cool J track very nice slice of pop rap. Plus J-Lo is a cutie pie.

It is a little odd, isn't it? I can't usually manage to get annoyed by pop stars but Ms Lopez really does bug me more than most. I think it's the whole "I've got a new boyfriend! Look at him in my new video!" BS

Perhaps she should quit work for a while and concentrate on not splitting up with her current beau on a preposterously regular basis.

Was it even Affleck in her 'Jenny From The Block' video? It looked like a guy hired to look a bit like him to me.

Yeah, she's a product and her songs wouldn't lose anything without her 'contribution' to them.

But look at her in that little pink coat at the start of her new video - damn, i'd hit it even if she was my sister.

She seems to be doing silly duets with useless hip-hop stars, i actually liked stuff like waiting for tonight from her first album.

Did anyone see the J.Lo : Behind the Behind show on Channel 4 on Wednesday???

I thought it was a bit biased - as it was shown from the point of view of previous relationships with Ms. Lopez - such as dance teachers, singing coaches, agents, ex's, etc, but still worth watching!

she seems to be doing alot of duets, i dont think she has a good singing voice, she is a man eater too many husbands she gone threw: 1) she was originally married to a dancing guy back in the early 90's, 2)waiter in 95/96 he only got $50,000 off her 4 the divioce (he got skanked)
3) bushmaster p-diddy 2002 proposed to her, but when the going gets tough (as u all know what happened at that time) her arse gets going.
4) chris judd- they hitched then divorced, i heard he got alot of doe off jay-lo
5) now its benny boy affleck.
wonder when she divorces him?
i think she marry's because of all the publicity it causes for her.

If by "a true pop artist" you mean ugly, talentless and in it for the money then yes she is...

Oh wait - that IS what a true pop artist is. Damn pop rubbish.

This woman is the "Real Reson" why sales of CDs fell by 4% last year, when the record industry pushes trash like this (and she ain't the only artist pushing out this type of trash) no wonder nobody's buying!

As for the butt, my gurlfriend's has one that is much nicer!

J Lo was a pop singer back in 1999 but stopped being a pop artist in 2000 when she started doing this terrible r & b.
