Rating: - * Great Album! ... I have wanted this album since it was released; however, in 1999, I was only 12 and had no money to purchase it. But I am so glad to have it now because it is fabulous! Jennifer Lopez has a great voice and the songs on this CD make you feel good, and they are unforgettable. I really enjoy the singles "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting For Tonight" because they remind me of my younger days--great times. This is a great album for everyone! Rating: - * Love it! ... This is my first Jlo album ever, yes I have a guilty pleasure of listening to her, I won't lie. Mi cansion favorito, "No Me Ames" or my favorite song is "No Me Ames". It's a sentimental and sad song, translated from a Italian poem, well that's what I heard. And Marc Anthony does the duet beautfiully with Jlo! And another favorite was "Should of Never" and of course, "If You Had My Love" or "Waiting for Tonight" in English and en esponal! Recommended for those who listen to Jlo! Rating: - * JLO ... I'm latin and I love all of JLO songs and her husbands. Was in great condition. thank you Rating: - * just like another paula abdul ... her career is so similar to paula abdul it's not even funny! Both started out dancing. Paula worked with janet jackson in the mid 80's and appeared in her videos, J LO worked with janet in the mid 90's and appeared in a video of hers. Paula Abdul tried her hand at music in the late 80's as a dance-diva and J LO did the same thing in the late 90's. Both of their debut albums Forever Your Girl and On the 6 sold well, and better than their follow up albums. Early 1991, Paula Abdul released Spellbound and early 2001 J LO released J LO. Both of them had strong first singles and their albums fell off the charts pretty fast although both managed to reach 3 million(instead of 8 million and 5 million like their debuts) and have a lot of hits from their albums. Let's not forget to mention that paula briefly did acting as well and J LO is also an actress. This Is Me Again didn't make a dent in the charts and Rebirth was the final nail in the coffin in 2005, just like paula's Head Over Heels. The first single from their final albums both had good videos(My Love Is For Real & Get Right) but by then it was too late and the public already had enough of them. I expect to see J LO release a compilation album by 2010 and appearing as a host or something 10 years from now. Rating: - * J-lo's best album, before J-lo. This *was* her then! ... I am one of J-lo's biggest fans, but the albums after this are one disappointment after the next. Luckily she's redeemed herself more in talent with the most recent album release, but this very first one had the true latino influence before she started 'forgetting' which minority she was representing in order to get more bucks. This CD expresses true singing talent, amazing tearful ballads (Marc Anthony, for crying out loud!!) and that wonderful feeling of sitting on an island beach. Even the photos of J-lo were sexy inside. This is truly art. |

The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
