    While Lopez has claimed that her new public image showcases the real her, she never could pull off the idea of being a real human being with actual emotions on record.

    The real problem, then, is that Love? isn't the all-out dance album it could-and should-have been.

    After all the processed cheese, though, you're left wondering: What's love got to do with it?

    In general, though, Love? is as vague and unfocused as its titular inquiry suggests, a musical shrug that seems to mean even less to Lopez than it will to listeners.

    An average album over produced, Love? has Lopez throwing everything she's got at relaunching her pop career and coming up shorter than anyone could ever have thought possible.

    Given her promotion to the Paula Abdul seat on American Idol, there's a distinct irony in having the first sounds on Jennifer Lopez's Love? all twisted through a vocoder: she may be judging the pop purity of legions of hopeful singers, but even she can't resist the siren call of the computer.

    Coming from a star whose weekly "Idol" pronouncements emphasize the value of charisma, "Love?" definitely disappoints.

I'm not understanding why fans/critics aren't enjoying it. The album shows a new side of Jennifer that includes elements of dance/dubstep and techno. Standout tracks on the record are "What Is Love?", "Until It Beats No More", "Papi", "One Love", and "Hypnotico", especially "Hypnotice"..Such a fun, dancy album :)… Expand

The selection of songs was a definite play on herThis album 'Love?", marked a major comeback in the music career of Jennifer Lopez. The selection of songs was a definite play on her strengths and popularity of Lopez in the dance and Latin genres. Lead single "On the Floor", which topped the national charts in 18 countries, was a real standout from the album and a great club banger, with a touch of Latin flavor. The replacement of the more generic pop song "Loubotons" with "On the Floor" as a lead single was certainly a smart move from Lopez and her team. Other standouts from the album include Latin anthem Papi, the summery pop track "I'm into you", the self reflective pop tune "One love" and the sweet ballad "Until it Beats no More". "Until it beats no More" is a unique track, which showcases the range of Lopez's voice and is a refreshing new sound for Lopez, which I hope she explores further in the future. This album was certainly another step in the right direction for this multi-talented star, emphasising that as an artist in both music and acting she is never to be written off. Personally, I enjoyed the album immensely and hope for more of this sort of work from Lopez in the future.… Expand

    This arrogant and deplorable woman does not know what quality and talent are. His works are hideous and dark.
