Out of curiosity, I looked up Lopez's CD on Amazon. It's definitely a stinker.
Released March 1, 2005, "Rebirth" is currently ranked #1,229 and the customer reviews are not kind.
--With a name like "Rebirth," you'd think Lopez would try something different in an effort to rehabilitate her public image (3 marriages by the age of 35, a string of flop movies, and obnoxiously diva-like behavior). Fat chance. Her latest record is a bust, despite the fact that it has production from some of the biggest names in the business (Timbaland, Rich Harrison, and Rodney Jerkins). They all deliver the beats and hooks as expected, but they do so to conceal two critical flaws: 1) the album's trite lyrics and 2) Lopez's limp, expressionless voice.
--It sounds like an annoying ringtone that never stops.
--Sorry but this album was doomed from the start...I mean her lead single was taken from Usher's trash can
:-D
Yep. Although it opened in the top 10 when first release, it dropped faster than a submarine with a hole in it. Kelly, Gwen Stefani and Mariah Carey are the solo female artists to beat for Grammy nods this year. Of the three, Kelly's is the only true pop/rock album. Gwen's is more of a rap/hip-hop album, and she's only had one hit single off it. Mariah Carey is, well, Mariah Carey. Her name, alone, gives her a boost come awards time.
Since I don't usually follow the Grammys, I don't know what the various award categories are, but I'd be surprised if these three women aren't nominated for something. Unfortunately, the Grammys have been heavily tilted toward the so-called urban genre for the last several years. Blech!
