I'm Gonna Be Alright/Alive Reviews:
Misled! 
2004-04-11 - Do not buy this single if you are looking for the ballad version of Alive. Silly me, I must have missed when it was clearly stated that the version here was an uptempo one when I ordered it from Amazon, and only got suspicious when the CD arrived and I looked at the back. I'm not a great fan of J-Lo's singing but I do like the ballad version of Alive. However, there is no way I will be buying the remixes CD- what was she thinking putting a ballad on that CD! I guess I will have to enjoy it on radio.
Original Version Is Actually Better 
2003-08-03 - I was kinda disappointed by the remixed "I'm Gonna Be Alright." The original album version on "J Lo" is acrually much better and the superior version. That version is upbeat, fun, and has a great production. Avoid the remixed version. The B-side "Alive" is a cute ballad but reminds me a lot of Janet Jackson's "Again." If you like "I'm Gonna Be Alright," go for the "J Lo" album. That version is the best.
J.Lo in creative decline 
2003-06-18 - J.lo's recent work has shown a steady, creative decline. Her latest album was bland and un-inspired. And formulaic in that J.Lo sings the hook over a sampled beat, and brings in a few guest rappers for the remix.
J.Lo's debut album, On the 6, Was a solid effort and sounded fresh. The tracks with guest rappers sounded interesting.
The afforementioned decline began with her second album, Where the majority of boardwork was helmed by love-him-or-hate-him P.Diddy, it had a few great moments but was sub-par overall.
"I'm gonna be alright" continues this streak. The simple lyrics lag on, and the music was built around a Club Nouveau sample, and "I'm gonna be alright" makes uncreative use of it. The Luniz sample of the hook was superior.
J.Lo gets a little help from her friends, rappers 50 Cent and Nas, they're presence doesn't help at all. Although the latter is up on his history, mentioning Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe.
This single is nothing special.
Hot CD!!! 
2003-01-03 - This CD is the best. I like it alot. So if you are going to by a CD. You should buy this one.
OH BABY!!!!!!!!
2002-11-16 - I love Jennifer Lopez. She is so hot. I love this whole CD. The remixes to 'Alive' are especially good. I'm gonna be alright is one of the biggest and greatest songs of the summer of 2002. It deserves this title because it is so awesome, and gets me dancin. This CD is as good as all her other CD's, and they are all great!
