Amazon.co.uk Review
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. --Rickey Wright

Many people i've spoken to have severely criticised this album along with questioning Ms Lopez' actual capability to sing. Fair enough. Her voice isn't great. But she has sassy bum-wiggling style, and let's not get pretentious here ... at least a few of your cd collection have to hold that as it's best quality. Oh, and i have to say the spanish track (NO ME AMES) is excellent ... these latin-blooded types always come across best in the true spanish songs (...only fully appreciated if you can understand spanish in most cases unfortunately). Viva Jennifer Lopez, i say. Her acting's not the best, her singing ... well, not the best either, but this cd is a winner and there's not much i wouldn't do to look like she does on the front cover ...

Jennifer Lopez - or J Lo - shot to fame with the track that everyone knows, If You Had My Love, which is a gem in the crown of the Bronx on this album. She ain't just a pretty face, she's talented beyond belief! Urban happy song Feelin' So Good will get anybody dancing, as will Waiting For Tonight and it's Spanish counterpart Una Nocha Mas. Open Off My Love is an infectious blend of beats, and Let's Get Loud is a party tune to die for! The only real downfall is the dreadful Baila, but overall the Bronx has a babe to be proud of!

Jennifer Lopez's debut album is a mixture of different styles and sounds but is fairly subtle in doing this. There's pop, latino, rnb and a bit of dance added into some of the songs (especially Waiting Fot Tonight). If you like your pop music you should like this.
However, I only gave this album 3 stars because no way are all the tracks good. They can get all to samey, but then again there are quite a lot of songs on the record.
I have about 5 songs that I really really like, these are;
- Let's get loud, a fiesty girl powered latino dance number.
- Feelin' so good, has a heavy, pure Rnb vibe and features rapper Fat Joe. Third single to be released.
- Baila, probably the most lively and energetic song out of the lot, is strongly influnced by Jennifer's latino backgound. Totally amazing and completely different from anything else on the album. Took me a few listens to get used to it though.
- If you had my love, debut single for the singer/actress and the one you've most likely heard before. Is first and foremost a pop song but is Rnb driven. The kind of song you can't but help to singalong to.
- Waiting for tonight, my (current) fave song. Is always changing between this and If u had my love. Her second song that was released as a single. I love this song because I can listen to it again & again and to me it always sounds fresh and new, not several years old like it is. Is a latino dance song, and just makes me want to get and dance to the beat.
If you are reading this review and are possibly thinking of buying this album, of course I'm going to say buy it. If you like your pop music, latino and/or maybe dance I recommend it. And as I chose this album to do my first review that should say something too!x

Indifferent.
The debut album from Jennifer Lopez follows a set formula of mixed dance tunes and slushy ballads.
All in all rather uninspiring until you reach the cover of Do You Know... Read more

A really great first album
A lot of the songs on this album are quite slow, but there is always that unmistakable latin beat going on, which sounds great. Read more
