Jennifer lopez is talented dancer, but not in the singing or acting department!

Ok!

Now did anyone see the movie with her husband Marc Anthony??

I think he did a excellent job playing Hector levoe! But I did not like Jennifer character as Puchi!

After all this time I realized that Jennifer can not act! Don't get me wrong but she did good in some films, like she did in Selena (who is my latin singer). But I just she plays the same role over and over again!

Same thing with music I didn't realized this until I heard "do it well" song same theme, always the same music with r&b/pop!

But I do enjoy her dancing! I feel that when u are a kid you tend to have a feel for art over the over like you can tell dancing was her first love!

Now the music and acting not so sure of! But what do you think of J-lo?

Again is only my opinion I do come from a the arts background!

She did an awesome job in Selena. She's done some other movies too in which she's done very well.

I'm not a big fan of hers, but I can see she can sing, dance and act.

Heres the deal, Jennifer is a POP star, and basically "you get what you pay for" with a POP star. Does Jennifer have a good singing voice? No, but does she need it to be a POP star, i mean lets be real, there are quite a few POP stars that dont have the "voice" the whole term POP star is a broad range of different areas that a person can fit into to. I think she is a better actress than people give her credit for, and she is better than alot that have gotten praise for their acting. To me "Mi Familia" was a good fit for her as far as a film. And i know people like to say "shes over" well they say that about every POP icon, but at the end of the day, i feel she has accomplished more than she could have ever dreamed of.

I always thought that she was a less than stellar talent when it comes to music. I could never stand any of her albums and it baffled me as to why she was so popular.

I also never liked the fact that she can't seem to find an image for herself. She was a thug for life when she dated Diddy, she was emulating East Coast upper crust when she was with Ben Affleck and even her "happy" union with Marc Anthony seems to be some kind of image restoration to get back in touch with the Latinos in the United States. Of course all this is an opinion and not the gospel truth.

However, I thought she was amazing in "Out of Sight" with George Clooney. Some of the best acting she's ever done (and nice to look at, too). She was great in Selena and did a good job in her small role in Mi Familia. She even added some much needed appeal to Money Train. She lost me with The Wedding Planner and Maid in Mahattan. She was decent in El Cantante. Nothing to write home about.

Also as far as dancing goes, she's decent. But dancer/cheoreographers Paula Adbul and Rosie Perez at their peak would blow her away. Although Rosie did chereograph her moves on In Living Color.

This could go on, but I'll spare you.

As for her acting I think you nailed it on the head with...

she plays the same role over and over again!


recently it's seemed like her acting range has spanned wide enough for her to continue playing the same 2 or3 same basic stock characters over and over again confused
If you will, so will I

She was pretty good in Out of Sight and I liked her in The Wedding Planner but needs a good stretch.

Well I have to agree with you...an excellent dancer by far, acting comes in second..she is sort of decent depending on her role, she isn't very versatile though...and lastly her singing is awful!!!
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
