Personnel includes: Jennifer Lopez (vocals); Ja Rule (rap vocals); Troy Oliver (various instruments, programming); Mario Winans (various instruments, background vocals); Rodney Jerkins (various instruments); Rene Toledo (electric & 12-string guitars); Frankie Romano (guitar); Ed Calle, Dana Teboe, Tony Concepcion, Angel Fernandez, Raul Agraz, Ozzie Melendez (horns); Nelson Jaime (piano); Jimmy Greco (keyboards, programming); Archie Pena, Mark Quinones, Bobby Allende (percussion); Cory Rooney, Jose Sanchez (programming); Jeannie Cruz, Lena Perez, Manny Benito, Ramiro Yehran, LaShawn "Big Shiz" Daniels, Karen Anderson, Nora Payne, Shalene Thomas (background vocals).
<p>Producers include: Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Ric Wake, Soulshock, Karlin.
<p>Engineers include: J.C. Ulboa, David Swope, Robert Williams.
<p>Jennifer Lopez' sophomore effort is anything but sophomoric. With J-LO the actress/singer conquers the jinx to create a catchy array of R&B, salsa, and dance music. With her hand deep in the cookie jar this time around, Lopez, along with Cory Rooney, co-writes and co-produces every track.
<p>The first single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing," burned up the urban radio stations with its smooth and catchy hooks. Steering clear of the obvious loops and samples, most tracks are original, save the Sean "Puffy" Combs produced "Walking on Sunshine," which employs the '80s tune made famous by Katrina & The Waves. Lopez runs the spectrum of lyrical subjects, covering love, in the aforementioned "Love Don't Cost a Thing," dance, with "Play," and trying to make the best out of confusing romantic situations, in "We Gotta Talk."

- Triple Threat
Jennifer Lopez or J.Lo is one of the few performers who can sing, act, and dance. With This Album J.Lo she demonstrates that. The extra track (I'm Real Remix) is a great song, but not the best on the album. Some people might be saying that she can't sing, but for this type of materiel, she doesn't need great vocal cords.
1 (Lowest) 10 (Highest)
1. Love Don't Cost A Thing- 8. Great Song, But you get sick of hearing it after a while.
2. I'm Real- 9. "I'm Real, What You Get Is What You See" Sings J.Lo. Features A Cameo from her ex P.Diddy. He Sings "She's A Bad Bad Bit**"
3. Play- 9. A Great Dance Track. "DJ Just Play That Song" The Only Problem is that it could have been longer. This song is just 3min 33seconds. For This type of thing, it needs to be longer to get the feeling.
4. Walking on Sunshine- 10. My Favorite track on the album. If this song is ever released it will be a great Club Song.
5. Ain't It Funny. 9.5- This will be her next single. She Wrote this song for the movie "The Wedding Planer".
6. Carino- 9. Great Salsa Song. It Brings back J.Lo's Roots. A Live Salsa dand played on it.
7. Come Over- 4. This is J.Lo's favorite song on her album, BUT NOT MINE! If you have weak vocals (Like HEr) You shouldn't let people know. That is exactly what she did in this track.
8. We Gotta Talk- 8. A Catchy dance song.
9. That's Not Me- 10. A Great Hip-Hop Song. Produced By Sean Combs.
10. Dance With Me- 10. You will do exactly what this song tells you when you hear it.
11. Secretly- 4. SEE COme OVER!
16. I'm Real (REMIX)- 10. Better then the original!
J.LO HAS SOLD OVER 5 MILLION ALBUMS!

- A Great C.D with some flaws
Jennifer Lopez has without a doubt done a cool second album and i can't believe people are hating on her and critising this C.D. First thing, Jennifer Lopez is incredibly talented: How many of y'all can write songs, sing, dance, act and be a total style queen?! I found all the songs apart from 3 of them to be excellent. Let me break it down for you: 1. Love don't cost a thing- As you know it has an R n' B feel to it and is a great song.
2. I'm real- Must say, the beginning is excellent. The beat is fantastic, very catchy and R n'B style. My fave track of the C.D.
3. Play-Very Maddona style. It's sort of like 'music' but NOT mediocre and monotonous.
4. Walking on sunshine- If you loved 'waiting for tonight' then you'll love this. This is a pop song overall but puff daddy has produced it and is one of my favourites. Lopez really sounds good on this song.
5. Ain't it funny- Sorry Jennifer, but i don't like the Spanish-type beginning but the rest of the song is excellent. Lopez even holds a high note on this one.
6. Carino- This is alright, its not unbearable or anything but has the corny Ricky Martin type thing going down. The same thing happens in the horrendous 'Dame'.
7. Come over- This is a slow song and it grew on me (when i knew the words to it!). It depends on my mood whether i give this song a listen. I think Jennifer Lopez really SHINES on the track 'too late' off 'on the 6'. A few of those type of ballads with a beat to it would be great and Jen's real fans would love it i'm sure.
8.We gotta talk- This song has the R n' B style without a doubt and is midtempo. The use of guitar is good.
9.That's not me- It starts off slow but has a VERY upbeat chorus. A very good song.
10.Dance with me- Produced by Puffy,so you can probably work out that it's excellent. It's a pity they split up, Puffy really knows how to bring out the talent in Jennifer.Anyways, the song starts off Ricky Martin style and then the hip-hop/R n' B beats come in. Jennifer's voice sounds super on this one.
11. Secretly- Have to say, didn't like this is first but i do now. Lopez sings this in a slightly unnatural manner (it's a slow song). Maybe Jennifer should steer clear of really slow songs for her next album so i can give it 5 stars.
12. i'm gonna be alright- A very good song, R n'B meets pop. Excellent.
13. That's the way- Produced By 'Dark child' a.k.a Rodney Jerkins. If you like songs produced by him generally you'll love this.
14. Dame- HOW TRAGIC!!!! This is an album filler for sure. The guy singing on this sounds dreadful. * ONE THINGS FOR SURE JENNIFER LOPEZ AND ALL OTHER SINGING ARTISTS SHOULD LEAVE SPANISH-SOUNDING CHEESY,CORNY MUSIC ALONE- TONI BRAXTON'S 'SPANISH GUITAR' IS AN EXCEPTION! * What was Jerkins thinking when producing and writing this track?!
15. Si ya se acabo- It's O.K but...er... what does it mean?!!!!! On the whole the album is very good, the 12 brilliant tracks make up for the 3 lame spanish ones despite my critisism. This is definetely a major achievement for Lopez,i mean i have stupidly bought albums in the past with about 8 good tracks in total. If you love R n'B and pop go to the record store and get yourself a copy of J.LO. P.S i hope you have found my 100% honest review helpful!! Thanks for reading.

- Jennifer Lopez......The PAULA ABDUL of the New Millenium
"J.Lo" the new CD from actress/singer/dancer Jennifer Lopez basically picks up where Jennifer's debut CD "On the 6" left off. Not revealing too much about Jennifer as a person, musician or even artist. This by the numbers production relies heavily on slick, hip hop beats and generic Latin pop to succeed, which it does only on a handful of levels. Jennifer's voice is not the strongest and basically calls to mind another mediocre singer/dancer from the late 80's/early 90's, Paula Abdul, whose good looks and catchy pop tunes took her to the heights of music glory, if only for a brief time. Jennifer needs voice lessons if she plans on being taken seriously as a singer. As of now, it appears that its only a side project in between movies for her and her videos are only blatant advertisements for her body. But alas, the album does have its bright spots like the techno influenced "Walking On Sunshine" and of course the radio hit "Love Don't Cost A Thing" which predictably follows the trend of empowered woman with her own money, needing only love (i.e. Destiny's Child's "Independent Women", Pink's "Most Girls", Mya's "Free" etc..). But Jennifer does manage to use her ASSets to her best ability, with sexy, erotic songs like "Come Over" with its smooth, silky sounds and the scorching dance track "Play". Also the spanish guitar riffed "We Gotta Talk" blends an old school R&B chorus, trendy street beats and possibly Lopez's best vocal performance on the entire CD and would'nt surprise me if its a single release. All in all, Lopez does manage to work well with the material she has even though its all predictable and has a been there, done there feel to it.

- Jennifer Know's What's Best
Well certainly Jennifer Lopez has knowledge of to what is in America's mainstream and despite some people's criticism of the album, I thought the album was everything that Jennifer could offer. I mean Jennifer's vocal skill is definitely not what you would call mind-boggling, but it has just enough power to verbalize and articulate each word and makes the album pleasing to the ears. I will narrow down my best choices on this album, "Love Don't Cost A Thing" is a very themetical song with a strong R&B flow, and don't forget the 1980's influenced "I'm Real," the dancefloor smash "Play," and "Walking On Sunshine" is another hit, "I'm Gonna Be Alright" sounds like a song you would listen to when you are recovering from a relationship, listen to her vocals on this track! "That's The Way" very R&B, and hopefully will be released as a single. Buy this album, and give it a few listens, and you will soon discover that this album certainly is a gem!

- Great Pop,Latin,dance mix,and R&B hits put together!!!!
J.Lo has done it again! Only this time it's better! For all fans of "If you had my love" and "Waiting for tonight" there's "Love don't cost a thing", "Play" and tons of other similar hits. There's even something for everyone like "Carino'" who liked her Latin and dance mix singles. Fabulous #1 tracks and great singles different from her other hits include the catchy "Ain't it funny" and of coarse the #1 Billboard R&B hit "I'm Real" featuring Ja Rule. That is probably the song that makes the Cd one to buy since you don't get this track in the normal version. It also makes it a CD for all Mary J. Blige and Ja Rule lovers. Also her dance mix singles are better than anyone else's hits. Also if you don't really like Steps, you'd love this CD. This Cd is probably great for it's fast catchy hits not counting the "I'm Real Remix" which isn't fast but is great! Although some of her slower singles aren't that good, in the first album if you liked "Feelin' so good" you might also like this. This is one CD that is worth buying. A great artist with a great album! It has something for people with all kinds of Music Tastes!
