I'm Glad/All I Have is not The Reel Me...

"On its own, the "I'm Glad/All I Have" DVD single is not a bad proposition: If you like these two songs and/or videos this is a fairly inexpensive way to enjoy them. However, if you are even remotely a J.LO fan I have to recommend "The Reel Me" DVD/CD combo--IT CONTAINS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF J.LO'S VIDEOS TO DATE (NOV 2003)!!! I made the mistake of buying the "I'm Glad..." single only to discover a few days later that "The Reel Me" was available for only a few dollars more. In addition with it you get Jennifer's own commentary for every video and a behind the scenes making of special. I strongly recommend it over this DVD single. Having said that, Jennifer's homage choreography in "I'm Glad" to Jennifer Beals dancing in Flashdance is really epic and a great way to honor a movie (and of course the Fame TV show which it spun of) that had a very strong influence on many young dancers like Miss Lopez. If you don't own a copy of Flashdance, you may want to get a copy of that so you can see how well J.LO covers the significant dance routines from the movie on this video, it's awesome! The "All I Have" video is nothing special, it is the typical boy in his own world/girl in his own world breakup montage video: It's been done before. But it is nice to see and hear Jennifer working with an _established_ rapper like LL Cool J as opposed to the newer rappers she's been featuring like Ja Rule. LL's flow on this song is as smooth as ever and delivered in the powerful yet cool way only a veteran like him can. "I'm Glad/All I Have" on it's own merits I think is 3 stars, but since "The Reel Me" is also available, from a value standpoint this DVD single really deserves to be rated lower on the scale."
Jlos Two Best Videos Yet

"THis DVD is great cause its with JLo's two best videos and the #1 single and biggest hit of her career "All I Have" with rapper LL Cool J and was a major success and samples some of Debra Laws "Very Special" hit but JLo took and made #1 everywhere including on the billbords for 5 straight weeks.
The the second video is the "I'm Glad" video which is a tribute to the film "Flashdance" and she kicks some major ...in the video from the costumes to the dancing its definitely her best video yet."
JLO IS THE BOMB.

"Unlike other reviewers I'm not going to blather on about the music, because frankly, I don't believe guys buy this item for the music. They buy it for J-lo's booty! And as a guy, I have to say I'm very satisfied and happy Jenny from the block decided to remake the famous Flashdance video. My hat's off to you, Jen!"
