5.0 out of 5 stars A song so hysterically funny...I JUST love it!!!, January 14, 2004

This review is from: Jenny From the Block 1 (Audio CD)

This is the funniest CD I have ever purchased in all my life.

I had to give it five stars because it is SO hysterically funny.

There she is, Jennifer Lopez, strutting her funky stuff showing off her diamonds and pearls and belting out, "...all the rocks that I got, I'm still Jenny from the block..."

I fell out of my wheelchair laughing so hard, girl get REAL here!

You're not still Jenny from the block, you've moved on from that, who are you trying to kid?

I might have taken your song more seriously if you hadn't flaunted Ben Affleck on the video, tried to show your "normal" life and how "ordinary" you still were.

It was so wonderfully nauseating, I hung onto every word, watched every frame of the video, it did wonders for my depressed funny bone I can tell you!

In all fairness though the song is quite catchy, I like the tune a lot, it's got a good steady beat to it but the lyrics, oh my ribs ache from laughing so much, they are so PANTS!

So Jenny from the Block, keep on singing songs like this, because if you do, you are going to make a lot of people happy, some us might even laugh ourselves into a coma.

I know I almost did!

3.0 out of 5 stars Catchy song, but obnoxious, November 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Jenny From the Block 1 (Audio CD)

Okay, I have to admit, "Jenny From the Block" is a very catchy song, and it gets stuck in my head...well, it helps that they play in on the radio and on MTV alot! However, I do think it's pretty obnoxious. All shes saying is, "I'm a cool street girl, dont forget that, but I'm also rich and have a hollywood boyfriend." All she wants is the street credit. This song is not something probably the average listener can relate to but I guess it's okay...if your a huge fan for some reason, buy this single...if not, just download the song, because, it's a nice song.

1.0 out of 5 stars Weak Song, Weak Message, November 20, 2002

This review is from: Jenny From the Block 1 (Audio CD)

Truly the most overrated, weak voice singer of the present, Jennifer Lopez returns to the music scene with this single where she sings about her roots. "Jenny From the Block" is Ms. Lopez's answer to critics who say that she has changed from a nice girl who grew up in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx, made it big, moved out to Los Angeles, and forgot about the people who made her. The truth is she has.

This single which features Lopez's trademark weak vocals is a poor shout out to her neighborhood. The reality is that once one makes it big, they find greener pastures to graze on. Just like James Dean's character in the film "Giant," a bigshot forgets about the people who were there in past for them. This song which mixes hip hop and pop is not original like many songs we hear on the radio, and unlike Lopez's past singles, this song will have very little chance of becoming a successful remix. With her front page hijinks and her numerous paramours, it is hard for me and many others to believe that Jennifer is still the same, old "Jenny From the Block." The days following September 11, 2001, New York City really needed all her native children to help this great city recover from an act of evil. Many stars answered that call, yet Lopez was no where in sight, preferring to remain in California. With this fact, this song is most geered to her biggest fans. In conclusion, a poor single with a weak message.
