A book very underwritten about a woman who is worthy of more
Althoug the thought of writing a book about Jennifer is a big complimet, considering the time that it takes to write a book, the book was poorly written.First of all it WAS unauthorized and alot of the information is not fact, and true Jennifer Lopez fans will know the facts from fiction.And second of all there were a few Grammar mistakes (with names), if you'regoing to write a book about someone be sure to spell the names right,because these are the important people in her life.Besides that the bookwas ok for people (not fans)who are wanting to know the basics and just thebasics about Jennifer...I guess the price of the book easily reflects onthe writing and information in the book...Jennifer is worthy of somuch more. Maybe next time a REAL, AUTHORIZED, WELL WRITTEN BOOK!

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Alive" is the other part of the double A-side along with "I'm Gonna Be Alright" (Track Masters Remix), the second and final single from Jennifer Lopez's remix album, J to tha L-O!: The Remixes (2002). Released in 2002, the single failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 due to its limited release, becoming Lopez's second single to do so after 1999's "No Me Ames". However, the song's Thunderpuss remixes topped the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart and became another Hot Dance Club Play hit for her, peaking at number two. The music video was directed by Jim Gable. The ballad was written by Lopez, her then-husband, Cris Judd, and Cory Rooney (who produced the track with Dan Shea). "Alive" was written for the soundtrack to Lopez's film Enough (although not included on its soundtrack album). ... Read more

Product Description
These seven women have won countless awards, received the highest acclaim, and achieved success in various forms of entertainment, but have never lost themselves in the process. IT'S ALL HERE IN THIS EXCITING COMPILATION!ALICIA KEYS began taking piano lessons at age seven ….even from a young age, she had stage presence… passion. She's won Grammies and numerous other awards for "Best New Artist", "Best R&B Album", "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance", "Best R&B Song", and "Song of the Year".ASHANTI'S debut album was released in April 2002 after years of hard work and disappointing record deals. Ashanti easily claimed the top spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop album chart by selling a whopping 500,000 copies within the first week. She has since won countless awards and nominations for her music and performances.BEYONCE' had decided that 2003 was the perfect time in her career to release her solo album, because all of her mainstream exposure had made the release of Dangerously in Love highly anticipated. Audiences knew that the help she received from Missy Elliot, Jay Z, Sean Paul, Mario Winans, Big Boi, and Luther Vandross would only seal the potential success of the album. They were right. Every song that was released from Dangerously in Love was an instant success.DESTINY'S CHILD had proven time and again that they were talented and gifted artists. Their longevity as the most powerful female group of their era and the continuing success of the award-winning group leaves their audiences reeling. The women of Destiny's Child have a radiant aura of longevity and they have consistently taken steps to make sure that neither the public nor they themselves become bored with their work.NATIONAL BEST-SELLER!!JENNIFER LOPEZ is one woman who can truly say she's done it all. If superstardom is a main goal in today's world, she is on top of the world. Jennifer has become one of the most popular and idolized actresses and singers in the world. She has starred in hit movies, made award-winning albums, fine-tuned her love for dancing, guest starred on popular sitcoms, modeled for some of the world's top designers, and started her own company. As a result, it only makes sense that she has become the center of the media's nonstop attention.Although MYA tantalizes viewers with her beauty, sex appeal and dancing abilities, audiences appreciate her most and identify with the messages within her songs. Her music is often light-hearted and catchy; however, it boasts of independence, self-esteem, and a call for respect.AN INSPIRING BOOK!The compelling stories of the divas of the new millennium’s triumphs and hardships co-mingle to create an inspiring and memorable book…a resonating read that will be appreciated for years and years to come ...

Good Read!
I really enjoyed this book so much that I sent Stacy-Deanne a fan letter! The book got interesting each time I read it. I suggested it to all my friends. I admit that it should have included more divas like Tamia and Ciara, but the book is a still very good. I loved the pictures! I am hoping that the authors(who are also divas)do a follow up for this. I wish them all the best and everyone should get this book!

Hot Read!
Divas of the New Millennium is a wonderful book that I truly enjoyed reading. It gave insight into the lives of women many of us have come to respect and admire. I especially enjoyed the section about Alicia Keys that's written by Natasha Lowery. While all the authors of Divas of the New Millennium do the book justice, Ms. Lowery has a flair for writing that kept me particulary interested. Her sense style and commitment to detail is truly commendable. A great book!

Great Read - Wonderful Insight
Divas of the New Millennium was a truly exciting read.It's exciting as it takes you through some of today's prominent stars life during the ups, downs, good times and struggles.It brings forth realization to see the person behind stardom and show yes stars are human.It great read for all ages and I recommend this book to everyone.

Strong Attributes leads to Success
When I was a teenager, music soothed my soul and helped me through a lot of ups and down when I was growing up.Like most kids, I had idols that I looked up to.Teen magazines about young music stars, such as Right On! and The Beat, fed my hunger for information - but only to a point.Even after thumbing through reams of pages, I felt I never knew enough.

Divas of the New Millennium by Stacy Deanne and other contributors brings back colorful memories of these days.The writers deliver a book jam-packed with information, but it never overwhelms you.Divas focuses on some of today's top female artists - Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, just to name a few.

I enjoy the book's positive focus.It gives you a bird's eye into these women's lives, families and fans.Deanne wrote these stories as if she had sat down for a private chat with several of her closest friends.She and the other contributors wrote this book with special care, helping you get to know the real persona of your favorite female entertainer.Divas is well-written and very detailed, but you feel as if you're reading short stories rather than one-dimensional accounts of each artist's life.

If you're like me, you'll find this book hard to put down.It poignantly profiles each phenomenal woman.I recommend Divas for anyone wishing to learn about high-achieving women and the attributes that propelled them to acclaim - success that most of us can only dream about.

A Must Read, A Must Have
Divas of the New Millenium is a must read.I believe every if not most fans of R&B (or not) should get a copy of this book.It gives give you great background info of the stars and the music we love so much.Up until I read this book, I was ignorant and had no idea the struggles some of these artists went through before they got to where they are to today, and that makes it so much easier to appreciate their music.Thumbs up to the author "Stacy Deanne" for a job well done.I'm looking forward to reading her next masterpiece! ...

Awesome JLo
This book is great! I loved the full color pix and everything I learned about JLo. I love to read everything about Jennifer.

Jennifer Lopez Fan
This very attractive and colorful book that gives you all the most up-to-date information on JLO.She looks great in the numerous beautiful full color photo's.The book does not give the dirt but the truth about Jennifer's career, loves, and life.It really is a must for every young fans library.

Too much glitz, not enough information
I would recommend skipping out on this book.If you're really looking for information about JLo's life, this isn't the place to find it.It's more concerned with fashion and the mythos of the "Jenny from the Block" fan.Whether you love or hate JLo, this book will likely shed no new light on her life. ...
