    JLo doing Funk/Disco and Motown inspired tracks what's not to love?!? Get Right , Whatever U Wanna Do, Cherry Pie all standouts and even on the R&B inspired stuff the production on Still Around is so masterful 10's JLO! 10's all around!

    IT's a GREAT album! Cherry Pie is a very cool song. Get Right is so catchy and |Hold You Down is so sweet! Step Into My World is HOT! I didn't like her last album but this album is FIYA!

    I actually really like this disc. I think it is a huge improvement over, "This is me, Then". I think this cd is alot of fun and has alot of funk elements. I"Whatever you wanna do", "Cherry Pie", and "Get right" are a lot of fun. "Step into my world", "I got U", "I, Love", and "He'll be back" are really cool groove tracks. I never think of Jennifer Lopez as a great singer, but rather I actually really like this disc. I think it is a huge improvement over, "This is me, Then".

    Though not a dedicated fan of Jennifer Lopez's music career, her latest offering Rebirth is one of the better of her surprising number of albums thus far (surprisingly due to her lackluster singing abilities).

Lead single "Get Right" is by far the best of the tracks on record--the horn sequence is addictive and memorable. Lopez herself actually pulls off a sound that's close to being more than mediocre but that's got a LOT to do with how good the song is. "Cherry Pie" stands out as one of Rebirth's best, in addition to "Ryde or Die," "He'll Be" and "Can't Believe." The grooves are stellar and the faux-Hip Hop R&B sounds make for a pretty good listen. Sure, Lopez is far from being an actual respected singer--but at least this album puts her much, much closer to being a credible performer. Expand

    Love her or hate her, you have to admit that this is one of her best albums till date..As she continues to make records, she puts much more work and effort in it, and even starts to go beyonde her normal vocal range (altough she is no Beyonce, Christina or Alicia, she's starting to use her nice but limited vocal range in better ways).. The first single is really nice, as well as Love her or hate her, you have to admit that this is one of her best albums till date..As she continues to make records, she puts much more work and effort in it, and even starts to go beyonde her normal vocal range (altough she is no Beyonce, Christina or Alicia, she's starting to use her nice but limited vocal range in better ways).. The first single is really nice, as well as other songs like "Step In to My World". And one thing u can't denie: she was able to sell 35 million records because she has an ear for hit singles, and by creating this "J.Lo" persona that everybody has an opion about. Maybe there are some comercial interests behind all of this J.Lo empire, but as a clever business woman she is, she's realizing that there is more to being a pop star than bootie shaking! I rate this album a 7 because she has been improving the quality of her music. And just a reminder: (un)fortunetly, being a good pop star doesn't necessarily implie a spetacular voice, as we have Madonna, Janet, Britney and J.Lo to prove it. Expand

    Rebirth is wonderful. A must have. Step Into My World, Get Right, He'll Be Back, Hold U Down, I Got U, and Cherry Pie are the real high lights. The best of J Lo. This cud very well be a Greatest Hits collection!

    i love this album, its not the best album from JLo but has some original songs insted of the boring preproduced tracks on the computer of a pop average composer that most of the "artist" of the new era are including on their albums "I,love" is an awesome song with this dark vibe in it same as "Step into my World" and the catchy "I got U" is perfect to drive across the city to school.

    I don't know why everyone is saying that this c.d. is horrible. It is her best to date. My favorites are the songs produced by Rodney Jerkins ( Step Into My World, I Got U) and my other two favorites are He'll be Back (Timbaland) and (Can't Believe) This is Me. All the others are good also. The only ones that I wasn't feeling are I, Love and Still Around, on the latter I don't know why everyone is saying that this c.d. is horrible. It is her best to date.

    This album is so great!! The R&B, Hip-Hop, Dance, and Ballads are each respective in their own ways. She reminds of a younger Diana Ross!! This is definitely her best album yet!! For those J-Lo haters, I only recommend one thing: actually listen to the album before you criticize - just because it is J-Lo and most of the world is Hatin' on her doesn't mean you should too.

Have your own opinions based on your own experiences!! And one other thing - yes Mariah is beating her in record sales but remember she was a diva before J-Lo was even discovered - that's why people adore her!! Plus if you see Mariah's new video "shake it off" - she is copying J-Lo's "love don't cost a thing"!! She drives a car in the middle of palm trees, she dances in a skimpy outfit, and strips when she enters the ocean!! If Mariah is the best - why is she copying the "OH! SO! Awful" J-Lo!?! Expand

    Oddly, the production in most songs allows lots of open sonic space that reinforces the wispiness of her voice, which rarely ventures out of a mid-range comfort zone. Beyoncé she ain't, much less Alicia. [27 Feb 2005]
  2. It says a lot about an album when the best song, "Get Right," is actually a leftover from Usher's Confessions.
  3. The album's drawback lies not with the producers or the material, but with Lopez herself.
