Did J.Lo's Album Really Tank?

Jennifer LopezWhile some are declaring Jennifer Lopez's Spanish-language album a failure, the numbers tell a different story.

"Como Ama Una Mujer" debuted at #10 this week, with 48,000 copies sold. Sounds bad, right? Well, it's actually #1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums and Top Latin Pop Albums lists, and it's only the fifth Spanish language album to land in the top 10; the others being ones from Shakira, Maná, Don Omar and ironically, Selena. It's also the highest-selling Spanish-language debut album ever, according to Epic Records.

And in a move that's sure to boost sales even further, Jennifer will perform live on "American Idol" next week, singing her song, "Que Hiciste." Oh, and coaching Sanjaya, of course.

3. Think about it TMZ. Is it TRULY ironic that Selena also debuted in the top ten? Not really.

4. It's an embarrasment to call Jennifer Lopez a singer. There are so many talented natural performers that have the voice and not digitally mastered as Jennifer's is. Shame on American Idol to have her on the show and give advice to the remaining finalists all for more ratings. I'm sure she will lip sync her entire song. i just hope that the only thing the American Idol contestants get out of Jennifer Lopez is just meeting her and taking her so called singing advice. If i were them i'd prefer taking vocal advice from a donkey! SORRY JENNIFER BUT YOU CAN'T SING.......................................................

6. Actually this could work in our favor (for good laughs anway) a NO-TALENT (J-Lo) coaching a NO-TALENT American Idol contestant (Sanjaya)......

alos my guess (for the fellas) would be to expect to see Hailey in her booty shorts in honor of J-Lo's FAT ass......

8. To #8 Can you be more ignorant? Jennifer Lopez and her husband were born in the United States from parents born in Puerto Rico which is part of the United States so, she is and all her family americans.

So, if you do not know all the facts do not even bother to post anything!!!
