Actress Jennifer Lopez's debut album fails in its attempt to
provide a worthy musical backdrop to her much-discussed
diva-esque image. Over the course of 13 songs, On the 6
displays barely a glimmer of the verve, poise, and sensuality
of her screen performances in the likes of Out of Sight. With
little vocal talent to rely on, Lopez generally seems content
to ape Madonna's middle register like any happy radio listener.
Similarly, several of the tracks here seem too rooted in the
Latin-lite clichés of "La Isla Bonita." With practice--more
Lopez CDs will surely follow in the wake of 6's success--the
star might develop into a singer worth reckoning with, but for
now she stands as a wonderful actress and a musical artist
with an unengaging album to her name.
