Although it squarely falls in the "jukebox musical" category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of ill-fated peers, and the actors can shine without having to bend backward to accommodate an inane book. The show's most (only) daring move is to start with a hip-hop-tinged French-language version of "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)," an actual hit in France in 2000. After that it's all VH1-biopic territory, but it's done with so much flair, taste and energy that the ride's a fun one. The Four Seasons had enough hits ("Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," etc.) to easily fill an evening at the theater, so it's left to the cast to do right by them. And it does, particularly John Lloyd Young as the band¹s star lead, Frankie Valli. Young hits all the falsetto notes and brings real freshness to the part. His "Can¹t Take My Eyes Off You," a second-act peak, is signed, sealed and delivered with a star's acumen. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their own identity, and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.

Jersey Boys.......2007-07-30

This is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. The cast of Jersey Boys gave an outstanding performance. They were just as good as the original Four Seasons. I relive many happy memories when I listen to this CD.

Jersey Boys relived.......2007-07-28

This is a great way to re-live the musical. And even if you haven't seen it, it's a great way to be introduced to the songs of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Wow! It's amazing all of the songs you recognize that have been re-done over the years. But the originals are always the best. Check it out!

Fabulous! I loved that they included much of the dialog from the show and the music was impeccable.

Jersey Boys (2005 Original Broadway Cast).......2007-07-19

Singers doesn't try to make the same sound the same original. The music sounds like the voices don't care about what they are doing. I was kinda disappointed.

Jersey Boys.......2007-07-08

Purchased CD prior to seeing the show when visiting USA in '06. A fun lively show - the CD now captivates those fond memories of not only the foot tapping music & show but also our special time in New York.

The big question about this soundtrack is: how's she doing? No, not Beyoncé, silly--how's Jennifer Hudson doing? And more specifically, how's she doing by "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"? To this reviewer's ears, she doesn't top the original Effie, Jennifer Holliday--or even Lillias White, from the 2001 Dreamgirls in Concert. On the other hand, Hudson isn't afraid to pullout all the stops, whipping herself up into a total diva frenzy as the song getscaught up in an unstoppable crescendo. As for Beyoncé, she adapts superbly to the 1960s- and 1970s-tinged material, though "Listen"--a ballad that also appears on her own B'day album--lacks the spirit that infuses the classic tunes on this album. For make no mistake: this is hard-hitting, high-octane music, infused with an urgency and passion that makes most contemporary R&B albums sound timid. When Hudson and Beyoncé duke it out on "It's All Over," or when the "One Night Only" ballad gets reinvented as the dance-floor burner "One Night Only (Disco)," the sheer energy flowing from the speakers is transporting.

Note that the two-CD Deluxe Edition features a larger booklet and additional tracks, including dance remixes of "One Night Only" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," as well as composer Henry Krieger's demo of "Patience." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

You GO Girl!.......2007-07-12

This music, this movie, this Script is so awesome! An amazing portrayal of a struggle for stardom. Beyonce' is beyond beautiful and "represents" the icon "supremely" (sorry...had to go there!). The music is so well written, I love each and every track! Enough has been said about Jennifer Hudson, she has won her due, but ALL the actors did an amazing job.

If you like the movie you'll like the album........2007-07-11

Great music from the movie. My only complaint is it's literally pulled from the movie, so it's a little weird to listen to it while not watching the movie, the singing dialog from the movie. Jennifer Hudson is the highlight throughout the album.

If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there..........2007-06-16

If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there...

I love this CD...it takes me right through all the emotions and action of the movie. Nothing is left out, all of my favorites are included even the less commercial cuts like Eddie Murphy's "Jimmy Got Soul" which gives the CD a well rounded feel.

Great Movie, Even Better MUSIC..........2007-06-16

Dreamgirls IS the best musical since GREASE... HANDS DOWN!! great songs and great performances by Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Jamie Fox, Anika Noni Rose, and especially Eddie Murphy... that boy did his thang acting and definatley singing. i almost forgot that eddie murphy had a really good singing voice...

of course the showstopper "and i am tellin u (im not going)" is my favourite song. im only 23 and im familiar with the original version performed by jennifer holiday. i love the original but to me J-Hud Killed it!!!! i perfered her version just because it was heartfelt and she performed it OUTSTANDINGLY in the movie. i cried in the theaters when she performed it... STANDING OVATION!!!!

my other favourite track is "i meant you no harm/jimmy's rap". i love the beginning of the song. eddie murphy SANG that song. then it threw me off when he started rappin. that rap was too funny!

all the other songs were great but here are my joints:
"move"
"one night only" (original)
"one night only" (Disco) (my favourite of the 2)
"cadillac car"
"I want you baby"
"dreamgirls"

this does not have all the songs on the movie. you have to purchase the deluxe edition of get "heavy" 'effie sing my song" and more...

this is probably my favourite SDTK i own and i definantly reccomend this SDTK to anyone... and the movie is as good and the songs!!!

I love it....I dooooo!.......2007-06-13

Great CD! A total sing along. Puts me in a great mood!

Through the course of Como Ama Una Mujer, the first full-blown collection of Spanish-language tunes from multicultural diva Jennifer Lopez, we keep waiting for it to happen. A sweltering, hands-in-the-air dance anthem--the kind that made Lopez a superstar. Alas, the club beats never materialize: not even a soul-diva shimmy. The closest Lopez comes to is midtempo first single "Que Hiciste." (Seek out the pulsing, reggaeton-flavored remix for maximum dance floor fabulousness.) What we get here is a surprisingly solid collection of elegant ballads and rock-flavored tunes that showcase new vocal strengths and surprising lyrical maturity. Producers Marc Anthony, Estefano and Julio Reyes give Lopez the gloss without overpowing her, a key element to the disc's success. La Lopez recycles one track from 2005's Rebirth, "(Can't Believe) This Is Me," which pops up here as the superior "Porque te Marchas." The disc's second half is a sweeping, often gorgeous, stream of romantic consciousness, starting with the lovely "Tu" and gliding through the gently chugging "Sola." And the beautiful closing track "Adios" is a standout, pairing Lopez's lilting vocals with a gentle string arrangement and a rousing chorus of voices. A sterling achievement from a diva whose talent is just beginning to blossom. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

Nice CD.......2007-07-31

This was my first Jennifer Lopez CD purchase. Most of the songs on the album are ballads, and I prefer more upbeat music, but I still enjoy this CD. I'd definitely purchase another music CD by Jennifer Lopez.

Terribly Disappointed.......2007-06-27

Though her voice is good; she should stick to Pop music. Too many ballads and the soul searching lyrics. Lyrics not appropriate for her. She sings about sadness and disappointment when we all know her life is so different. The songs did not match her or what she represents to Latinos and women. Jennifer should continue to do Pop music and upbeat tempos and forget about the torch songs of pain and abandonment. Not a good match. What were her producers thinking. Hello!!!! Wasted my money. I never listen to it again.

Mi opinion, escucha este CD antes de comprarlo!.......2007-06-21

Empiezo en comentar que cuando salio este CD a la venta pense que con el apoyo de Marc Anthony este proyecto iba a ser un exito. Desgraciadamente me equivoque. Bueno, la colaboracion de Marc Anthony es evidente en las canciones seleccionadas para este CD. Desafortunadamente la voz de JLO no tiene ese sentimiento para cantar estas canciones de amor. Yo no se si se precipitaron al terminar este CD porque yo tengo el DVD del primer concierto de JLO que fue grabado en la Isla del encanto y la interpretacion de varias baladas por la sexy JLO fue encantadora y ahi si escuche sentimiento cuando cantaba. Tal vez la Diva se sintio sentimental estando en Puerto Rico. En este CD no hay una cancion que me haya hecho sentir WOW. Pudo haber sido porque el Espanol no es la lengua principal de la JLO. Asi que te recomiendo que escuches este CD antes de comprarlo para que no te quejes despues de haber pagado precio completo.

1 hit song.......2007-06-15

there is only 1 hit, the others are tolerable. spanish is good, but her voice is a little shakey on ballads

best ever from jennifer lopez.......2007-06-05

I can hardly wait for the next all spanish cd from jennifer lopez - she could be the female luis miguel! it is just beautiful - especially "tu" and "por arriesgarnos". what took her so long to do this?

Since Ella Fitzgerald never produced a songbook of Leonard Cohen songs, Jennifer Warnes's plush 1986 tribute is the next best thing. The sleekly seductive "First We Take Manhattan" is gilded by the guitars of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robben Ford. Warnes doesn't add much to an evergreen like "Bird on a Wire," but she lays claim to the noirish title song with a confidential vocal that complements the chamber-pop arrangement. "Song of Bernadette" is a ripened gem, and the selection where Warnes lets down her refined vocal technique to reveal deep emotions. More often, Warnes is as professionally accomplished on this well-chosen set as her band of studio pros. --John Milward

Album Description

On Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen, Jennifer Warnes rearranged and reinterpreted some of Leonard Cohen's greatest songs for a unique album that remains the ultimate tribute to Cohen's music.

This deluxe new reissue contains four previously unreleased songs and a 24-page booklet with rare photos from Warnes' personal collection.

Best known for such pop hits as the Oscar- and Grammywinning duets "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," with Bill Medley, from the film Dirty Dancing, and "Up Where We Belong," with Joe Cocker, from the film An Officer and a Gentleman, Jennifer Warnes has earned her greatest acclaim for Farmous Blue Raincoat, considered by many to be one of thebest albums of the '80s

Customer Reviews:

This is Hysterical.......2007-07-26

I think it works better if you've seen the movie, better still if you've actually seen the stage show. But either way you don't have to be in the in crowd to get it or enjoy it. The production quality is excellent, and this will be the CD that gets worn out in the player, especially if you're having a bad day. Trust me.

Irreverent, Funny, and Excellent.......2007-07-23

My husband got tickets for me for Christmas and went back for the last show in NYC. Have seen the movies and love it all.
The soundtrack is so great. Yes, it's vulgar and crass, but it's demons not angels. The only song I don't particularly care for is the last one, "Blew the B**** Away." It didn't fit in with the rest of the music. It fit with seeing the show live, but not with the tone of the rest of the soundtrack. I know that sounds odd, but there it is.
When/if the show comes back to NYC, I'll be back to see it. Greatest line, "she just ripped my pre-ripped Abercrombies..."

Something that would be worth a long car ride with very smelly people to see.......2007-07-12

When I had first heard of this musical, I had thought that it could not possible be for real. When I actually heard this cd, I had thought that it could not possible be for real. This is the funniest, smartest, crassest and most original remake of movie that I have come across in a very long time. "What the F*** Was That?" will be on my list of top 100 songs for a very long time. Anyone who loved the movies this is based on, or who just have a place in their heart for comic gold, need to have this cd in their collection.

I Have Never Heard Anything Worse.......2007-07-11

OK, so after reading this review, I'm sure that most people will think that I'm one of those musical theatre elitists that just "don't get it" when a show is just trying to be fun. But, believe me, that couldn't be further from the truth. I can appreciate that musical theatre is supposed to speak to a wide range of tastes and styles and that a show like Evil Dead is not supposed to be taken too seriously. I also get it when a show is trying to be a clever parody (i.e. Urinetown) or just a fun and light-hearted piece of eye and ear candy that doesn't require a lot of deep thought or heavy emotion. I also understand that not all composers/lyricists are seasoned professionals and, believe it or not, I actually support and encourage new and start-up writers and embrace all of their novice mistakes, as long as they don't all occur in the same place at the same time. So, believe me, I get it.

But, sometimes, even with all of this forgiveness in my heart, there are some scores that are simply atrocious. I'm afriad that Evil Dead falls into that category. First, the music: In my mind, a musical score has to be either melodic or original. In the best cases, you have both. In the worst cases, you have neither. In this case, you have nothing. Just nothing. The songs don't say anything - musically or otherwise. They have all been done before, and they are all really, really, bad. I just don't know how else to say it. But the worst part of this unforgivable score has got to be the lyrics. When I say that they are unlistenable, I am not exagerating. These are the worst lyrics I have ever heard committed to CD. Seriously, they are that bad. I couldn't find one redeeming moment. Picture rhymes that a 6-year old might come up with - like trying to rhyme "would be" with "groovy", or "girl" with "squirrel". Yes, I'm afraid these are real examples. The lyrics, in fact, are so bad, that I am not completely confident in my review of the music because I couldn't even get through some of the songs. I shudder at the thought of ever going back to listen to this monstrosity again.

The performances are awful - but that I can forgive. After all, this was not a Broadway show and the actors, in all fairness, had no decent material to work with. I do like the concept, so please don't think that this is the problem. In fact, the story is why I even picked up this CD to begin with. My entire problem is that this is the worst score I have ever heard and, because of that, I found myself constantly infuriated at the fact that these composers were given any funding at all to stage this show - clearly based on the draw of the concept - when there are far better unknown composers out there with real talent who just can't get a break.

So, in summary - I encourage everyone reading this review to continue to support off-Broadway theatre and upstart composers and even shows that are not completely perfect. Just don't support this one. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh. But the producers who mounted this show and released this CD really don't deserve your money. There's no nice way to say it.

Evil Dead Rocks!.......2007-06-29

The cast album to 'Evil Dead" is almost as much fun as Little Shop of Horrors! It's a tongue in cheek spoof all the way with some really fun music to go along with it. Loads of different styles of music and plenty of fun for all!

Hauntingly Beautiful.......2007-05-07

The first time I heard this artist was on an instructional DVD for hot stone healing. I couldn't believe how hauntingly beautiful her voice and the music was. I wanted more and had to find out who she was. I did and immediately purchased the CD. The same song repeats throughout the entire CD, with minor variations and for some that may not be what you are looking for. It is very nice for a healing practice or meditation or if you are looking for beautiful vocals that follow you through your day.

Beautiful.......2007-02-28

I first heard this CD in my prenatal yoga class -- it was perfect for our meditative portion of the class. I loved it so much I used it during the birth of our son and it became his favorite cd for getting to his restful place before bedtime. At 2, he now asks for his "yoga music" almost nightly which gives me a chance to enjoy it and take me to a peaceful place with him as I rock him to sleep.

Awesome recording.......2007-01-21

I like Jennifer Berezan's recordings. "Returning" is something I stumbled on when purusing used CDs at a store. I often listen to it when I'm going to sleep at night. I have also played it during gatherings of people for contemplative and shared prayer. It helps me center myself and connect to the energy of life and love.

Beautiful, Transformative Chant .......2007-01-09

This beautiful CD was recorded partially in Malta, in a man-made underground chamber designed exclusively for its perfect acoustics. The result is a warm, ethereal drone that reverberates throughout the hour-long chant, perfectly complemented by the goddess chants recorded over it.

Each chant comes from a different religion and culture. There is a song to Yemaya, the Yoruba goddess of the sea and rebirth; a Navajo chant to Mother Earth (my personal favorite); A Buddhist mantra to the Bodhisattva of Compassion; and a beautiful line of Alaap singing, a form of Hindi song-prayer. Each voice in this recording is pure and emotionally on-target, and nothing about any of their roles in this piece seems tacked-on or forced.

The combination of all of these elements is soothing and nurturing, just the way a piece centering on "returning to the mother of us all" should be. I recommend it to anyone with a meditation practice, healers, and even just anyone who needs help relaxing at night.

Transformative inner journey.......2007-01-06

Returning is a magical experience. As the chants echo, you are transported on a transformative inner journey. I use this CD for healing work, ritual and ceremony, and women's circles. It is hypnotic and profoundly beautiful. It reminds us all that what we long for is a return to the Earth Mother. This music cradles you in Her embrace.

Album Details

This album's worth of Leonard Cohen tunes was originally released in 1987. It remains as an audiophile's dream, as the recording is generally regarded as one of the best engineered ever. Many cite this disc as a benchmark to really put a stereo system to the test. Not to mention the fact that the performance is brilliant. Features the guitar work of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan & includes the Cohen staples 'Bird on a Wire', 'Joan of Arc (with L.C. on the guest vocal), and seven others.

Customer Reviews:

Lovely & Morose.......2007-07-16

I like Leonard Cohen, I like Jennifer Warnes...I even like the CD, but it's definitely got problems.

This particular CD was manufactured in Germany, and its poor quality really surprised me. I like playing music a little loud, but to get just a middle line volume (like 50% on most CD's) I had to turn the volume on the player to 100% just to get the mid range on this CD. That was not good.

I was familar with the material on the CD because I had a cassette version from when "Raincoat" was first released in the late 80's. I remember it got lukewarm reviews at the time. "An artistic success, but commercial failure" was the general tone. Being a dedicated Cohen fan from way back, I thought the reviewers must be crazy.

Having matured a bit since then, I now understand what they were talking about. Leonard Cohen is an interesting, extraordinary artist (it's recently been said that Phil Spectre held a loaded gun to his head during a studio session saying, "I love you, man" to which Cohen replied, "I hope so.") Anyway, Cohen is the most successful "sensitive" male singer (I'm using "sensitive" interchangeably with "spiritual" these days) & writer in the contemporary cut throat commercial scene. He is uncompromising & often swims against the social current.

On one recent song he states "I'm neither left or right," but there is certainly a conservative element in his work that I personally have found just a little bit irksome--but on the other hand, his imagery that Cohen's sexually propelled religious images really touch a fundamental chord of beauty in the heart. Another element I can relate to is that LC's lrics don't shy away from brutal self-revelation. Cohen never tries to gloss over the many inequalites & unfairness of life. His themes are always adult in nature & delivery.

However, there is a downside too.

Cohen has a tendency to go overboard with social critique & ego-centric bitterness. These are not qualities particulary useful in the pop scene, particularly not in today's resurging political conformity. Despite these observations, Leonard Cohen has consistently worked to forge his success & his songs regularly play on the air. If not exactly a "super star," he is just a breath away.

Judy Collins brought both herself and Cohen into the pop mainstream with her beautiful rendition of "Suzanne." From then on Collins' star rose & she often performed her friend's work. In contrast to Collin's light & delicate voice, Cohen has a deep & mournful sounding voice that only accentuates the darkness of his own material. Although Cohen's LP's weren't consistently popular, his music was popularized many other artists, such as Jennifer Warnes.

This CD contains some of Cohen's most lovely songs: "Famous Blue Raincoat," "Song of Bernadette," and "Joan of Arc." Unfortunately these great tunes are sandwiched between more self-pitying sounding songs such as "Came So Far for Beauty" and "The Singer Must die."

Jennifer Warnes has a great voice, but it doesn't convey the light, airy quality of Judy Collin's. Collins can sing morose material without it sounding...well, morose. Warnes' deeper voice & delivery does not overcome the self-involved bitterness that characterizes some of the songs. However, the three songs mentioned are great enough to purchase the CD, particularly if you are a Leonard Cohen and/or Jennifer warnes fan.

Why not ask for more?.......2007-06-18

Can you believe this album is twenty years (+) old? I can't at all. In one instant the time passing has seemed interminable, and in another instant it seems to have passed like the blink of an eye. I remember how I heard about this album. I saw Joan Baez perform at Carnegie Hall in the fall of 1987 and she sang "Famous Blue Raincoat" in her concert. I ran to a record store the next day and, appropriately fevered, bought this album. I was excited because I was a fan of Jennifer Warnes from her Arista Records days ("Right Time of the Night" and "I Know a Heartache When I See One"), and while I knew of her connection to Leonard Cohen (she is credited as background singer Jennifer Warren on Cohen's 1973 album "Live Songs"), finding her singing a full album of Leonard Cohen's material was enough to send my young soul into orbit.

My initial impression on first listening was that "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "Joan of Arc" (duet with Leonard Cohen) were the album's peak moments. Time has not diminished that belief. But the program overall is brilliant as are the performances and production. Jennifer Warnes' vocals do these songs justice. But if you listen to any of her earlier albums, you will find that she enhances the quality of all of the songs she sings. This disc is as exciting to listen to twenty years later as it was when it was first released.

P.S.: Just read that an expanded version of this album is to be released in the near future. How fortunate for us!

Quite possibly the best album of the 1980s.......2007-05-16

Forget every bad Jennifer Warnes top ten hit or ill-conceived duet you've ever heard.

I first bought this album, shortly after it came out, because I was a self-styled audiophile-in-training and all the boutique audiophile magazines raved on incessantly about the production quality, Warnes' voice, and only incidentally, Cohen's music and lyrics. As usual, the really astonishing thing was mostly ignored - the odd and indelible combination of Jennifer Warnes' highly accomplished and almost preternaturally controlled voice with the utter weariness and inventiveness of Cohen's lyrics, all of it put to some exquisite, adult pop music.

This album should come with a warning: "Kids, Don't Try This At Home." This really is powerful stuff about grown-up themes, emotions and experiences, told from a jaded but still slightly hopeful, adult point of view. Something uncanny happened when this album was made, a true "synergy" (God I hate that word, but...)that transforms musicians and material into something they'd never been before. Jennifer Warnes became a true artist, and Leonard Cohen became a true human being. Practically everyone I've played this CD for in the ensuing years has gone right out and bought their own copy.

I can say without exaggeration that I still listen to this CD every week, after twenty years, and I can't wear out my enjoyment of it. It still retains some reminder of the "shock of the new", and it really hasn't become dated. I'm still moved by the sweetness and the steel of Warnes' voice, and I still shake my head at the subtlety and richness of the lyrics.

Like Joni Mitchell at her height ("Blue", "For The Roses"), The Roches first two albums, Rickie Lee Jones at her best ("Pirates") and most of everything Shawn Colvin's ever done (except for most of her new album), this is one of those times when you can call popular music "art". It's also a great introduction to Warnes" later, also episodically wonderful albums ("The Hunter", "The Well").

And for those of you whose interest has been piqued, check out her website to see why the fact that this CD is out of print is maybe not such a bad thing.

For the Love of Leonard.......2007-05-07

There are few distinctly individual voices in the realm of Jennifer Warnes,I can hear her from the soul. This oldie but goodie relights my wildsoul and need for truth in everything. Joan of Arc is five layers of love song, everyone of the songs reflect the wonderful hearts and minds of both she and Leonard CohenLoved it.

Get this one while you can! .......2007-03-13

I bought this primarily for one song, the title track, Famous Blue Raincoat, and it is still my favorite cut on the CD. But all of the songs are worth a listen and Leonard Cohen even does a guest turn on Joan of Arc.
For those of you who are used to Cohen's deeper, masculine voice, it may be harder to find Warnes as accessable...but I actually like her rendition of Famous Blue Raincoat as much as the Cohen original. Listen closely and you'll hear how she takes his songs and makes them unique, not just copies of his.

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

JLO.......2007-05-16

I'm latin and I love all of JLO songs and her husbands. Was in great condition. thank you

just like another paula abdul.......2007-01-08

her career is so similar to paula abdul it's not even funny! Both started out dancing. Paula worked with janet jackson in the mid 80's and appeared in her videos, J LO worked with janet in the mid 90's and appeared in a video of hers. Paula Abdul tried her hand at music in the late 80's as a dance-diva and J LO did the same thing in the late 90's. Both of their debut albums Forever Your Girl and On the 6 sold well, and better than their follow up albums. Early 1991, Paula Abdul released Spellbound and early 2001 J LO released J LO. Both of them had strong first singles and their albums fell off the charts pretty fast although both managed to reach 3 million(instead of 8 million and 5 million like their debuts) and have a lot of hits from their albums. Let's not forget to mention that paula briefly did acting as well and J LO is also an actress. This Is Me Again didn't make a dent in the charts and Rebirth was the final nail in the coffin in 2005, just like paula's Head Over Heels. The first single from their final albums both had good videos(My Love Is For Real & Get Right) but by then it was too late and the public already had enough of them. I expect to see J LO release a compilation album by 2010 and appearing as a host or something 10 years from now.

J-lo's best album, before J-lo. This *was* her then!.......2006-08-07

I am one of J-lo's biggest fans, but the albums after this are one disappointment after the next. Luckily she's redeemed herself more in talent with the most recent album release, but this very first one had the true latino influence before she started 'forgetting' which minority she was representing in order to get more bucks. This CD expresses true singing talent, amazing tearful ballads (Marc Anthony, for crying out loud!!) and that wonderful feeling of sitting on an island beach. Even the photos of J-lo were sexy inside. This is truly art.

Oh, if only there were a Golden Throats Vol. 5!.......2006-06-21

Unhealthy both as role model and performer, our limitedly talented Ms. Lopez, not content with her skilled acting chops in 1999, jumped on the Latin explosion bandwagon with the help of her label cronies and her indisputable celebrity factor. Only, the results were about as relevant to Latin music as a toadstool stoned on a bottle of Palo Viejo. Without an iota of a hint of vocal skill, she squeaked and heaved and shrilled her way through a spit-shine production of second-rate disco tunes even Andrea True laughed at. What made it so utterly joyless is/was its lowest common denominator: it's completely phony, resulting in the most head-scratchingly successful debut of that year, maybe decade [take that, Jewel]. Monetarily, it made sense - at platinum plus, she was able to seduce a million or so impressionable kids into buying into the web of deceit - but as art...well, I suggested, then, that she get on that 6 train and head home. Or at least toward Hollywood. Instead she sojourned her way back into the studio a few more ear-blood inducing times. This was not only the worst CD of 1999; it was the insult of that year. My grade: D

Her Debut Wasn't Bad At All.......2006-05-21

Looking back at 1999 when Actress Jennifer Lopez came from nowhere and unexpectedly released a pop album, and it sold very well and gave here both hit singles and later a few more albums to her credit, however it is "On the Six" that undoubtly is her best album, also her most varied and personal. Now in 2006 it could be odd to actually look back 7 years and make a fair judgement on this one. Jlo has been seen all over the celebrity world and her latter albums weren't that good actually, at times some of her songs were even annoying, But in 1999 she was good and so was her debut album. Now only there's plenty of variation, there's also very good producers like Puff Daddy, Trackmasters, Daniels, Jenkins, Jerkins and Emilio Estefan Jr. This singing project, as it was supposted to be, was really a well thought one and it shows. Say what you want about her inadequate voice, but she compensate that with great charachter and great song list.

It starts with the hitsingle "If You Had My Love" that is the best song on the album together with single #2 "Waiting For Tonight", Lopez calls her music Latin Soul. Basically it's R&B songs with a latin flavour. Both songs are very strong with cathcy melody and hooks. "Should've Never" is a ballad, rather bland. "Too Late" is a midtemo that is so so. Puff Daddy produced R&B-Hip Hop song "Feelin So Good" was another hit and Latin sounding "Let's Get Loud" with backround choirs is also pretty good. "Could This Be Love" falls flat and proves ballads is not her strongest part, but the next balled in spanish with her now husband Marc Anthony "No Me Ames" is surprisingly good. "Open Off My Love" sound alot like "I'm Glad" a latter song of hers. "Promise You'll Try" is a suger sweet ballad. "It's Not That Serious" another uptempo Latin-Soul and "Talk About Us" yet another bland ballad. It closes with a spanish version of "Waiting For Tonight" which is pretty fun, if you know spanish.

Overall, I could have lived without half of the ballads here, but the uptempo songs which is her strenght are all catchy and entertaining. "On The Six" is a good album, her best actually. It's varied with many diffrent producers and the hit singles are strong. It's not quite perfect, but defenitely over par. Wether you like JLO or not, don't judge her latter album with this one, Back in 1999 she was still interesting and this album is a pleasant surprise from the new pop diva in town. 4/5 stars.

two parts Hennessy to one part Lovage.......2007-07-03

Great album, another offering to my iPod from the generous library of Principal Dondelinger. It's at least half tongue-in-cheek but it's all great. I agree with other reviewers who have described the parody as more homage than mockery. The tracks vary but there is a nice consistent feel throughout, so it really flows as an album. The title suggests one way to utilize this music, but I've found this music to have potential even beyond being the soundtrack to the connubial shake-n'-fake. For example, my iPod likes to throw on "Pit Stop" and "Lies and Alibis" when I am walking alone at dusk, rundown by the day and the humidity.

Just listen to it. It's pretty unique. And I love the picture on the cover; I think it might be one of my Dad's nameless cousins from the seventies.

STOLEN MATERIAL.......2007-06-02

"Tea Time With Maseo" in this album contains recordings and words stolen from Alan Lorber's 1969 Groupies album.

Amazing..........2007-03-12

The production of this album is truly amazing. While there's definitely a parody element, the music is still banging. Sexy, fun, and cool. Perfect "music to make love to your old lady by"

weird but great.......2007-02-18

If you think that Deltron 3030 is the best hip-hop album of all time(like me) then you should definetly buy Lovage. Dan The Automator's(Nathaniel Merriweather) production is at its best, and combined with the DJ talents of Kid Koala(Deltron 3030), this album can't be beat. Also the strange combination of vocalists Mike Patton(Faith No More) and Jennifer Charles works perfectly. I totally slept on this album until recently, but this one is almost as perfect as Deltron.

Great Songs, Great Style.......2007-01-27

I've always been a Patton's fan, and this is one of the finest works I've ever heard about him, it's a soft-progressive-rock ballad with a little touch of irony, it's a very nice piece of art, a masterpiece, indeed.

Very Peaceful and Relaxing.......2007-06-28

This music is very easy listening and very peaceful. It would be good music to meditate too, as well as just playing it around the house.

Life-giving music.......2007-01-21

After I stumbled on "Returning" by Jennifer Berezan, a friend turned me on to "Praises for the World." This is truly a passionate recording of various voices and instruments. I feel connected to the energy of life and love when I listen to this. Have purchased it for other friends and they enjoy it very much. Keep on recording, Jennifer!

Great for studying, meditating, or just relaxing!.......2005-11-14

The back cover of the CD says, "File under world music, new age, women's, healing, meditation, vocal, ambient." Any of those will do just fine, but in my collection, it goes under "when you have to relax!" It is a wonderfully relaxing hour or so of music, sure to carry you off to any tranquil corner of your mind that you like once you put it on and close your eyes. Replete with guest vocalists and nature sounds over a mellow guitar arpeggio, the songscape consists primarily of gentle repetitions of the title line. Only the first four minutes or so are outside of that mold, featuring a three-verse song of healing and love for the Earth, which then segues neatly into the main event. Later in the piece, Alice Walker recites her poem "We Have A Beautiful Mother" over the music. This might be a bit much for some listeners, but if not, you'll love the whole CD. Pleasant dreams!

absolutely incredible.......2003-10-23

profoundly beautiful, dangerously addictive, marvelously uplifting, my favorite of Berezan's albums, and I have loved all of her work. The harmonies are celestial and hypnotic.

Incredible.......2003-08-31

I've given this CD along with "Returning" to friends and they love them too. Its a great CD - I find myself singing along, getting lost in the music and harmony. The CD is one long song that evolves and changes yet has "praises for the world" running through it as the undercurrent. Absolutely fanstastic.
