THE GREAT:
Nada.
THE AVERAGE:
“Get Right” – Lopez is gifted beats by great producers who can rock the club yet the lyrics are elementary and meaningless.
“Hold You Down” f/Fat Joe – Bland. Monotonous. Fat Joe dropping a melody never quite sounds right.
“Whatever You Wanna Do” – An attempt at another club hit—see the trend? This is certainly a chance to hear the deficit in her vocals. This is out of her range.
THE BAD:
“Cherry Pie” – If the title doesn’t say it all, this is bad. Lopez sneaking into the realm of Ashley Simpson is not the way to roll.
“Ryde Or Die” – The worst lyrics on the record.
“I, Love” – Lopez’s falsetto on the bridge is awful.
FRANKLY: Lopez is a visual star not a audible star. Its fun to watch her videos however to listen to her is in no way equal to listening to Whitney or Mariah. You only had to watch the Grammy Awards to realize what every critic has said for years—J.Lo can’t sing. Rebirth finds hints of her voice being layered with background vocals and during some chorus’ her voice is so far down in the mix it’s hard to even recognize. This isn’t music. There are singers on American Idol who deserve it more and yet Jenny from the block gets the best producers, big money, and all the publicity. Go tell a real artist how this is fair.
Rebirth is defined as a renewal and a renaissance yet listening to the new Jennifer Lopez record you have to wonder why it was called Rebirth. Nothing has changed. Rebirth is the same old Lopez singing about Gucci, trying to prove she is legit by bringing a rapper on board, and trying her hardest to prove she can sing. The title of the record should have been Some Things Never Change.
