there were a lot of tracks recorded for this album. there are the other 10 or so that leaked last year. i'm a little surprised that she didin't include "Louboutins" or "Fresh Out The Oven".

Everybody's Girl

Villain

What Is Love

Until It Beats No More

all were leaked last year. i'm betting they have a different production. really would've loved to have had the track "Faint" on this release. either way it's been too long of a wait for me!! glad the album is FINALLY coming out!!!

excited

i like the picture; just not as the cover so much. maybe it's the eyelashes. LOL.

I...kinda adore Jennifer Lopez lol.

Every time I see her in a video or on tv I'm always like, "She's so purddyyyyy" like a little girl in awe of Diana Ross or something. lol

JLO is ok with me. She is fit and can dance and has a few nice jams.

But her new song is so terrible that I have never listened to it the whole way through. Actually I can't listen to anything Pitbull is a part of.

Despite heavy promotion , the new album entered the charts at # 5, selling 83K copies in its first week. It's clearly going to take more than a judging position on American Idol to get people to buy her music.

I doubt that highly, if they were expecting number one for a forty plus lady whos sales have dropped quite a bit, 85K is great, lets get out of the 90's already

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez has got her groove back. After a dramatic return to the spotlight -- due in large part to "American Idol" -- the pop diva drops her long-stalled album "Love?" today (May 3), ushering in her first full-length release since 2008's "Brave."

Lopez's life is anything but tumultuous these days -- she's got a full-time day job as "Idol's" judge and resident glamour icon, and she's a mother to twins and wife to fellow Latin superstar Marc Anthony. But on her seventh studio album, the singer/dancer/actress/entrepreneur channels the J.Lo of the early aughts, tackling love as a phenomenon that's always evolving, growing, fading and rife for debate.

Lopez recruited plenty of hitmakers to help craft "Love?," including R&B boundary-pushers The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Norwegian duo Stargate and none other than Lady Gaga, who boasts two credits on the album ("Invading My Mind" and "Hypnotico"). Gaga's frequent collaborator RedOne also produced the set's lead single, "On the Floor" (featuring Pitbull), which helped kick-start Lopez's musical comeback with a top 10 debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

How does the rest of "Love?" measure up? Here's our Twitter-length track-by-track review of each song.

You be the judge: What do you think of J. Lo's "Love?" album? Tweet us your own review at @billboarddotcom (using hashtag #bbjlo). The best tweets will be posted on Billboard.com in the coming days.

Play NOW 1. "On the Floor" -- Long overdue J.Lo/Pitbull collab reveals said floor's versatility over crisp synths. Donkey Kong/Tonka Truck/Lambada nostalgia, anyone?

Play NOW 2. "Good Hit" - For the kids. "Pieces of Me"-esque Auto-Tune use and neck-snapping beat keeps momentum going nicely, but Nicki Minaj, Jennifer is not.

Play NOW 3. "I'm Into You" - Dancehall groove, breezy verses and come-hither hook is perfect for sun-soaked, summertime road trips. Weezy cameo FTW.

Play NOW 4. "(What Is) Love" - Older, wiser Jennifer channels love-addled J.Lo circa '03 to answer album's central ? Bieber would slay this if the gender was flipped.

Play NOW 5. "Run the World" - The-Dream's fingerprints all over this = a good thing. After the internal confusion of "(WI)L," this one's refreshingly self-assured.

Play NOW 6. "Papi" - The pro-monogamy house trend revived by RiRi's "Only Girl," still going strong here. Fun, harmless, & strictly for Jenny's Latina fans.

Play NOW 7. "Until It Beats No More" - Sounds like she's singing straight to Marc Anthony on this one. Honest and adult. "I feel the beat again, stronger than before." Aw.

Play NOW 8. "One Love" - "What's wrong with a girl wanting everything?" Jennifer wonders over this slow roller. Nothing, when you're a triple-threat superstar.

Play NOW 9. "Invading My Mind" - RedOne & Lady Gaga (collaboration 1 of 2) bring the hit potential, while Jennifer brings the heat. All irresistible '80s euphoria & release.

Play NOW 10. "Villain" - Variations on Kanye's "Flashing Lights" beat never get old, but this feels oddly placed after the confessional vibe of the last track.

Play NOW 11. "Starting Over" - Another ballad in disguise, thanks to pummeling bassline and mournful introspection. First payoff comes at the :33 mark - hi, Robyn!

Play NOW 12. "Hypnotico" - Gaga collaboration 2 of 2 gets right into the Mother Monster's headspace. Handclaps, boy-toying, fun with syllables & a boricua shoutout.

Play NOW 13. "Everybody's Girl" - So very disco. Being tired of fame is a tired theme, hence the bonus track status, but this'll work just fine for a Zumba playlist, so thx!

Play NOW 14. "Charge Me Up" - Did you know? Four-on-the-floor fatigue is a real illness. A ballad would actually be very welcome right about now.

Play NOW 15. "Take Care" - Finally, some hip-hop. Delicious melodies by the-Dream and retro drums. All that's missing is Ja Rule's growl! Kidding. Kind of.

Play NOW 16. "On the Floor (Ven a Bailar)" - Even sexier than the original, and the rare seamless ranslation of an English-language hit. Also, Pitbull should never not rap in Spanish.

So the labels' expectations are so low that it's considered a plus when a 40ish female act sells under 100K the first week? No one thought Lopez would duplicate Gaga's numbers, but 80,000 units has to be a major disappointment.

Im saying that if they are thinnking in terms of 200,000 they are living about 10 years in the past, JLO is old, plain and simple, as good as most of this record is and HOW MUCH exposure she has on AI, that dont mean shit, she is OLD, she is 41, and her peak in sales is long since gone,

Lets look at the facts, her 2005 record REBIRTH moved 231,000 week one, now thats 6 years ago, which is about 4 careers for others, plus the industry has dropped as a whole since 2005 almost 60% in sales, do the math. Plus then she was 35 now 41 and even then that album disappeared a few weeks later.

In 2007 she cut the latin album, that did well on the latin charts for her but obviously took her further away from the "light" of the charts. Then BRAVE in 2008 moved 53,000 week one, debuted number 12, now that was 3 years ago, when the industry was still pulling in about 20% more than now. So the proof is there, you arent going to sell 200 thousand with a 41 year old artist that hasnt really had a major across the board POP HIT in almost 7 years, lets be real here. Now if label peeps are thinking differently, then they are smoking crack and well people on forums are just stuck in another decade that is about 2 decades past now.

And last but not least NOTHING is lost on promotion here, AMERICAN IDOL is not promo for her its her freaking show, that has nothing to do with label spending, thats free promo for them.
