3.0 out of 5 stars Uneven and Disappointing July 30, 2012

By CyberLouis

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

JLo has recently put out some great songs (On the Floor, Dance Again) and she's had some great songs in the past (Waiting for Tonite, Let's Get Loud). It should have been easy for her to do a fabulous greatest hits collection. This just isn't it. It starts off well, but around the middle it just falls apart and does not recover until the very end. The remixes are particularly repetitive and unnecessary. I was hoping some of these older songs would have been updated and given a fresh new sound consistent with her latest material. Instead the remixes are in a totally different direction. The result is like having a creme-filled donut that has humus instead of creme in it. I was hoping to never hear anything from her Spanish album ever again. Time has not been kind to that album. It seemed like a brave effort then, now it is obvious it was a huge misstep. I am also surprised at the version of Waiting for Tonite that was included. It would have been easy to update this song to give a modern dance sound but they didn't. A lot of lost opportunities here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hits?!? July 30, 2012

By Michael Kerner HALL OF FAMEVINE™ VOICE

Format:Audio CD

When it has came down to Jennifer Lopez lately, she has been more known for her marriages and her personal life, than really her music. She has lately had a lackluster collection of music that hasn't really caught up to her glory days from the late 90's to the early 2000's. Her success has been with her recent stint as a judge from American Idol. Yet, with her leaving the show and focusing in on her touring again with Enrique Iglesias, she has had a lot to prove to her fans knowing if she can sing, which she hadn't shown. After a set of poor records from 2007's Brave to her recent 2011 record Love? which had been originally set for Epic, but she was dropped midway through the plans for the record after a string of poorly released singles Louboutons and Fresh Out The Oven. Now, with a hits album now it, is it worth the while? Well, for new Jennifer Lopez fans, but for others there is much more to be desired.

Dance Again: The Hits is a lackluster reflection of Jennifer Lopez and her solo success from her days with Latin music going mainstream in the late 90's all the way to her recent album 2011's Love? There is a reflection here, but still with a lot more to have been desired for a more definitive reflection of her biggest songs. The album though has been digitally remastered and include more of her biggest hits like her starter single If You Had My Love, as well as Waiting For Tonight all the way to her more recent hits like On The Floor and I'm Into You. The collection mainly reflects on only one angle from Jennifer Lopez and that is her dance music, with a lackluster showcase from diversity in her voice, little to no ballads from her collection of music. The album does overlook some of Jennifer's bigger hits like No Me Ames, Play, and I'm Glad and the original version of I'm real from J. Lo. Mainly, she could've left those songs out on purpose, considering her past relationships with her ex's in the projects (Marc Anthony whom sung with her on No Me Ames, and her second husband Chris Judd whom appeared in the I'm Real video.) But overall, there was more to have been clearly shown from her musically. The new tracks aren't really good either from Dance Again, which she feels drowned out, and doesn't show a better range to the lackluster drive on Goin' In from the recent move Step Up: Revolution.

Overall, with Dance Again: The Hits, it is a lackluster hits collection from Jennifer Lopez that mainly shows just dance and not a wider range of diversity from her songs. This may be a good sampler for anyone whom hasn't yet heard Jennifer Lopez's music, but not actually a good hits album when it came down to it. Jennifer Lopez hasn't worn many good hats on her musical sleeve, and could've given more to her die hard fans whom have stuck with her thick and thin. Overall, Dance Again isn't actually a must have for your music library. I would wait for something better to come along to say you'll dance to.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice collection that could have been much better. July 25, 2012

By Daniel B

Format:Audio CD

My review for those who are new to Jennifer Lopez's music: Get this collection. All of the songs on it are really good and you shouldn't pay attention to my minor nitpicking details, because this is definitely the best way to get familiar with her music.

My review for those who are already Jennifer Lopez fans: I'll start off with the bad. First off, who made the track listing for this? The order the songs are in seems completely random and doesn't exactly flow well. It would have had a better flow to it if the songs were in chronological order. Some of her biggest hits, "Play," the Track Masters Remix of "I'm Gonna Be Alright," and "I'm Glad," are missing, while minor hits like "I'm Into You" and "Feelin' So Good" rest comfortably on the standard track listing. Not to mention the 2 week #1 hit "All I Have" is only a bonus track on the deluxe version, while it should be on all editions. In the booklet and back cover, "Jenny From the Block" and "Feelin' So Good" are labeled as remixes while they are, in fact, the original album versions. The version of "Get Right" used on this album is the version featuring two raps by Fabulous, however I'm fairly sure the main version of the song without a rapper tacked on was the more popular version.

All complaints aside, this is not a bad collection. Many criticize Jennifer as an artist, but she sure knows how to pick her songs, even if she doesn't write the majority of them, or have the strongest voice. All of the songs included here are pop gold (except the new song "Goin' In," which as of right now I don't care for), and have glamorous videos to go along with them. The DVD looks and sounds great. Although they made the mistake of putting the Fabulous version of "Get Right" on the CD, the music video on the DVD is thankfully the original version in which Jennifer plays all the different characters. Still, the DVD doesn't hold a candle to Jennifer Lopez - The Reel Me (DVD & CD), but it's nice to finally have her newer videos. The booklet (of the deluxe edition, at least) is very glossy, and features 24 very colorful pages of pretty much every photo from her CD booklets from On the 6 to Brave, as well as a few extra shots. If you haven't seen the booklets, you wouldn't know which pictures came from which album era, because this woman does not age!

Overall, it's a decent collection. It could have been much better, but it also could have been much worse. If you are a casual Jennifer Lopez fan, particularly one that doesn't own all of her albums, I recommend this set.
