Jennifer Lopez's music career is a prime example of how beauty can overcome a complete lack of talent. Granted she can dance, but her singing voice is reedy, atonal and irritating. To make up for her obvious shortcomings in this department, she has always been surrounded with the best producers and collaborators money can buy. This album is no different, with Lopez roping in many of the top hired guns in the business hoping it will compensate for her lack of musical ability. It doesn't. Despite a list of producers and collaborators that includes RedOne, Stargate, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, Pitbull, Lil’ Wayne, Taio Cruz and Lady Gaga, "Love?" falls flat. It is overproduced pop-by-numbers, the tracks falling from memory as soon as they stop playing, and J.Lo's attempts at depth fail miserably, her voice simply unable to convey any kind of real emotion.
