Kat DeLuna - 9 Lives

LOVE THIS WOMAN

I had been waiting for this CD to drop ever since the first single was released. Somehow it slipped by me, but now that I have it all is right with the universe. Her vocal range is just incredible to me and I can't wait to see what her next album will be like. For those of you who passed on this one BIG MISTAKE; truly check it out you will not be disappointed. September 1, 2008

kat deluna rocks!

I like this cd very much, songs like "whine up" were huge club hits late 2007. Every song on this album is good,she has a great voice and sings great dancable tracks and also there are beautiful ballads which proves that she is very tallented. I like kat deluna's music and its so much better than all the other overhyped garbage that we see in the charts these days. July 12, 2008

best new artist

great record worth every penney.two versions of run the show is a plus. good to have the original before the remix. June 13, 2008

it was okay

it was a good cd, but she cant really sing,

she's not so charismatic, and she doesnt establish much, it kinda like a random playlist of songs instead of an overall theme, and if there was an overall theme, then it was missing substance

its kinda dull

if you're a musician, then you'll probably notice she cant sing very good

but its an okay cd, buy it. why not June 4, 2008

3-1/2 stars -- Decent, but really just your typical Spanglish album

I first heard of Kat DeLuna when she and Omarion shared the song "Cut Off Time" off the Feel the Noise soundtrack. Since very few people picked up that soundtrack or even heard of the movie, I doubted that she'd have much staying power. But I still decided to check out her album 9 Lives.

Kat DOES have a good voice, but the only song that really stands out on here is "Love Me, Leave Me". While most of the rest of the songs are above-average, they don't really make her stand out in a crowd either. The Elephant Man-assisted "Whine Up" could have easily been done by Nina Sky, while "Run the Show" or "Enjoy Saying Goodbye" have Shakira written all over them. I'm not saying that Kat is trying to emulate these artists, but that's just how things look at face value.

There are also a couple of songs I can do without: the empty "Am I Dreaming" and the corny "Animal". And unsurprisingly, the end of the album features Spanish versions of earlier songs on the album ("Whine Up", "Am I Dreaming" and "Run the Show"). If you're a fan of club music or Latin pop, then pick 9 Lives up; otherwise, B.I.F.
