April 11, 200718 yr It entered at #10 on billboard last week right? So... what's the drop this week? :rofl:
April 11, 200718 yr Down to 30-something I think. It sold 45k ish in week one and 30k in week two, total sales at 74k ish now.
April 11, 200718 yr Well anyway, J.Lo can be guaranteed some decent success this year, with her English album She'll never have more success, or indeed more credibility, than Gloria Estefan, she can try for a hundred years..... Shakira pishes on her artistically as well.... Nope, sorry, but if my life depended on a choice of which Latina Diva I'd listen to, I'd be picking Gloria or Shakira (but more Shakira's Spanish language stuff i have to say, not absolute rubbish like "Hips Don't Lie" or the other sell-out, Americanised R&B c**p she's done...) any day... I can actually bear to listen to them, I'd even consider giving them Hard Drive space..... J-Lo makes me wanna puke... :puke2:
April 11, 200718 yr You really can't expect the album to stick around on the Billboard 200 as there is no big lead single. Que Hiciste isn't performing very well plus I haven't seen a lot of promotion for it other than on iTunes which probably greatly helped it get to #10.

J-Lo makes me wanna puke... :puke2: Firstly, if you have Oral Fixation Vol.2, you will know its not 'sell-out R&B' - it cant by any means be considered R&B :mellow: Secondly, I think J Lo could quite well have more credibility than Gloria, whose last studio album (which wasnt a Spanish album) reached the grand heights of number 39 in the USA. Thirdly, I guarantee that your life will never depend on choosing a Latin Diva whose music to listen to.
April 12, 200718 yr Secondly, I think J Lo could quite well have more credibility than Gloria, whose last studio album (which wasnt a Spanish album) reached the grand heights of number 39 in the USA. She still has a rep though, even if her career is on the wane now... If J-Lo manages to last the next 20 years, then we'll talk.... :lol: I'm sorry, I just have no time for this conceited, arrogant b/itch... Her film career is totally fukked, one diabolical film after another.... The only genuinely good acting performance I've ever seen her give was in "Out of Sight", when she had George Clooney to work off of.... "U-Turn" and "The Cell" weren't too bad as films either.... And the newer Shakira stuff I heard recently was absolute bollocks.... I've heard some of her older Spanish language stuff - it sounded not bad at all....
April 12, 200718 yr And the newer Shakira stuff I heard recently was absolute bollocks.... I've heard some of her older Spanish language stuff - it sounded not bad at all.... I'm not a huge fan of Fijacion Oral Vol.1, Shakira makes better English language albums now... But you are right Donde Estan Los Ladrones from 1998 is widely regarded as a classic Spanish album and her Grandes Exitos (Spanish Greatest hits) album from 2002 is absolutely excellent

The only genuinely good acting performance I've ever seen her give was in "Out of Sight", when she had George Clooney to work off of.... "U-Turn" and "The Cell" weren't too bad as films either.... Tbh she has a much worse reputation for acting than she deserves...In Monster In Law, which didnt get great reviews, she is absolutely brilliant, in my opinion. People dont like to see her in down-to-earth-girl roles because they know shes a hugely famous and rich woman, so I think envy comes into it when she gets panned by the critics all the time...

No, I pretty much reckon she deserves her bad acting rep, you've obviously never sat through "Gigli" or "Maid In Manhattan" have you...? :lol: She was good in a few early films, before the Pop career, but she just seems to have given up even trying in a lot of her later ones... She should decide what she wants to be - Pop Star or serious actress, it's clear she is incapable of doing both at the same time....
April 12, 200718 yr the problem j-lo is facing is the fact shakira exists!! :lol: what i mean is that shakira did the spanish album followed up with the english album (oral fixation vol1 and vol2) first and j-lo will be compared to her cause she is the next one to try and do that, its now a trend, nelly furtado will be next. the second problem j-lo is facing is shakira raises the bar so high she can't compete, the fact shakira can construct a track from scratch, write and produce it gives shakira's credibilty making her music authentic and people can see that and appreciate that the facts she is trying, she's doing what an "artist" is supposed to do which is to be the creater of their own "art". jlo's artistic weaknesses are really exposed next to shakira, jlos music seems to be about the fame and money or pushing the jlo brand her clothing line, her perfume etc whats that got to do with music?! i think jlo is in trouble now and will get dropped if her english album flops too like her previous english album shakira may not be as slick as her peers but thats cause she is in control artistically since her 3rd spanish album where she took creative control at 18 and it turned into a huge hit for her and sony, sony then left her alone to do what she wants on her albums, this kind of freedom is rare among female pop stars but the formula works, no one tells her what to write or how to sing plus you have to take into consideration english isn't her first language its her 3rd so she's doing well singing and writing in a foreign tongue and being so successful with it, nelly is going about the spanish crossover in the right way by learning spanish and writing in it, it'll give her more credibilty than jflop

April 12, 200718 yr Erm...firstly, theres nothing wrong with doing something unoriginal :mellow: wasnt a crime last time i checked And also, J.Lo didnt do a spanish album then an english...she did the other way round :) there is nothing wrong with it, i'm just saying thats one of the reasons why jlo and shakira are being compared right now :) the 2007 jlo era is about releasing the spanish album in april then english in november its the same formula as shakira's fijacion oral vol1 and oral fixation vol2 era ^_^
April 12, 200718 yr Hmmm well perhaps. Im confident Jenny Lo's english album will be both amazing and amazingly successful :)
April 12, 200718 yr It depends when Jennifer releases her next album to get guarrenteed success she should aim for next year I mean later this year we have new debuts from the likes of Whitney, Mariah, Britney etc. She will not stand a chance against them... Oh and their selling Como Ama Una Mujer in HMV I nearly bought it...
April 12, 200718 yr Well I dont think Whitney will be much of a thread at all. Mariah will but Britney probs wont release before next year...
April 12, 200718 yr Well I dont think Whitney will be much of a thread at all. Mariah will but Britney probs wont release before next year... Britney's will be out in October/November time they usually are!!
April 12, 200718 yr 45 10 Jennifer Lopez Como Ama Una Mujer Epic | 78149 | Sony Music Peak:10 Wks On:2 Woops :kink:
April 12, 200718 yr Please people. The only TRUE Latino diva is Christina Aguilera. She doesn't speak a word of Spanish, but it was such hard work memorizing those Spanish lyrics for the "Mi Reflejo" album. Afterall, she is 1/17th Ecuadorian and I hear her hometown of Wexford, Pennsylvania has a THRIVING Latino community.
April 12, 200718 yr 45 10 Jennifer Lopez Como Ama Una Mujer Epic | 78149 | Sony Music Peak:10 Wks On:2 Woops :kink: This was good!! It was a big drop cos sales were higher this week but she kept 60% of her sales :o in week 2
