"On the 6" was the first album by Jennifer Lopez in 1999 and she showed that she was and still is an amazing performer on stage! "On the 6" was her chance to become a member of the music business and she did a great job with this album. "Waiting for tonight" and "Let's get loud" are two lovely dance tracks which are still great! There are a lot of dance songs on this record, but she also tried to record some ballads and mid-tempo songs. Well, for her first album she did a good job with this album although her voice isn't always strong on every ballad. I have to mention that she used a lot of background singer for the songs. In my opinion this is not her best album, because the mix of Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Latin and New Wave is just too much. There is nothing special on this record besides "Waiting for tonight" and "Let's get loud". Also "If you had my love" is a lovely song, but not the best one she ever recorded. For a beginning she was quite good, but she knew that the day would come where she has to proof that she can sing. On this record she didn't proof that, she just wanted to have fun and record some dance songs. I am sure that this album was made for the charts and to make her a well-known person in the music business. People loved her and all singles made this album a hit-album in the charts. "Feelin so good" which was not very successful worldwide, is an example for a poor song without meaning. She is able to record good songs, but this was a bad idea to release it as a single. "On the 6" sold millions of copies and I think this album was important for her way in the music business. Also important to mention are the spanish songs which sound even better than the english songs. "Baila" or "No me ames" are two amazing spanish songs on this record. I am more into dance songs, so I guess this was a good album for fans of dance music and for fans of ballads. In my opinion "On the 6" was catchy, had a couple of brilliant songs and they made a lot of promotion for this album. After all I give 4 stars for "On the 6", because her singing isn't really good on every song.
