Jennifer Lopez Pop Music

Richly talented Pop artist Jennifer Lopez has released her latest CD titled This Is Me...Then and Wow! It's good.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including LL Cool J and Reggie Hamlet plus a few other notables as well.

If you're a Jennifer Lopez fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don't even have to be a fan of Lopez, or even Pop to know is good. It's just good music. Period.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Loving You, track 9 - You Belong To Me, and track 12 - The One.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Still. What a nice track!

Latest Jennifer Lopez Dresses

Have you ever noticed the impact celebrities have on modern-day society? Was it like this 50 years ago? I really don't think

It was. From the way my parents and grandparents talk, they could have cared less what celebrities were doing. The only thing

Anyone cared about back in the day was viewing the films for entertainment purposes. Now days we have psychotic individuals

Stalking Britney Spears, and guys having plastic surgery done to look like Brat Pitt. This is utterly pathetic. Oh, and watch out if some popular celebrity comes out with a fashion line or fragrance. Everyone and their dog have to get in on this. However, I don't understand the appeal. What do girls see in Paris Hilton handbags or Jennifer Lopez dresses? Are they really that wonderful or are folks just following the leader?

Take a gander at the fashion industry these days. You will see tons of clothing lines with the names of actresses and models on them. Now why do you think this is? Hey, I'll tell you why. These celebrities know that they can earn some serious capital off of them. It's just another way to make cash. They're totally aware that all you celebrity worshipers out there will dart to the nearest department store and buy it up. That's what folks do now days. Oh, there's a new Britney Spears perfume? Pleas let me get some so that I can smell like Britney does! Give me a break! We've got to stop buying into the hype of Jennifer Lopez dresses and shoes designed by actresses. It's time to get your own life. I am profoundly happy that my teenage daughter does not buy into all the celebrity attire and fragrance lines. She wouldn't be caught dead in any Jennifer Lopez dresses [http://www.TIPTOPHEALTHGUIDE.COM]. Just the other day she was telling me that Jennifer Lopez spends thousands of dollars just to have her eyebrows waxed. Now there's a stellar individual with priorities. How can one even spend so much money on a simple grooming procedure while millions of people are suffering around the globe? Not too classy!
