   I’ve loved Jennifer Lopez’s career. She wasn’t gifted with a voice, but she’s shown determination, hunger, and perseverance. Plus, she’s a killer on stage.

   She’s kind of like Madonna, minus the controversy.

   This style was better suited for her. She does work very hard. She can atleast carry a tune. She’s decent in terms of what she does vocally on her albums. She has the It” factor.
