Jennifer Lopez: On The 6
Actress Jennifer Lopez's debut album fails in its attempt to
provide a worthy musical backdrop to her much-discussed diva-esque image. Over
the course of 13 songs, On the 6 displays barely a glimmer of the verve, poise,
and sensuality of her screen performances in the likes of Out of Sight. With
little vocal talent to rely on, Lopez generally seems content to ape Madonna's
middle register like any happy radio listener. Similarly, several of the tracks
here seem too rooted in the Latin-lite clichés of "La Isla Bonita."
With practice--more Lopez CDs will surely follow in the wake of 6's success—the
star might develop into a singer worth reckoning with, but for now she stands
as a wonderful actress and a musical artist with an unengaging album to her name.
