Review: Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez 'Brave': Aidin Vaziri | Her movies are mind-blowingly stupid. Her perfume smells like horse urine. And let's not even get started on the men she sleeps with. The only thing Jennifer Lopez seems to occasionally get right is her music. And by "occasionally," we mean just twice so far: "Love Don't Cost a Thing" and "If You Had My Love." Nothing on her fifth English-language studio album comes close to those sublime pop triumphs. In fact, many of the songs, especially "Mile in These Shoes" and "I Need Love," are so bad you'll consider ramming your head into a steel door just to stop the torture. But make it halfway through the disc and there's "Gotta Be There," a minor gem that finds her sampling a young Michael Jackson and coming up with one of those lush, multilayered choruses that name-checks several major cities and makes you feel so ecstatic you won't even mind that it all sounds a bit 1997.
