Christina Aguilera

 (950 customer reviews)

Don't write Ms. Aguilera off as the next Britney Spears. Unlike Britney's babyish and mechanical voice, Christina sounds soulful and powerful. (NOTE: Someone said that Christina herself was the only one making the Mariah/Whitney comparisions...not true. Christina has said that both singers are influences, but SonicNet, MTV, and many others have compared her voice to them.) Here's my little review:1. GENIE IN A BOTTLE: A cool dance track. It sounds MUCH better on stereo than on the radio, though. It doesn't showcase her singing as much as the other songs, but is still a good song, though nowhere near the best on the album.2. WHAT A GIRL WANTS: This one's got more of an R&B feel, which is cool. I also love the meaning of this one. Plus, the remix is really cool, and should be another hit once it comes out.3. I TURN TO YOU: Oh. My. Gawd. How can you listen to this, then call her a one-hit wonder? That part at the end where she holds that long...Read more

The dilemma Christina Aguilera will have to deal with in the early years of her career will be the constant comparisons to teeny-bop acts like Britney Spears and NSync. What a shame, because this girl is already miles ahead and can sing with the best of them! She has sung with blues legend B.B. King and will soon duet with Etta James, which shows her maturity! If you checked out her live rendition of "At Last" on VH1's "Men Strike Back", you know what I mean.Her debut CD shows us a glimmer of the potential superstar that she is already becoming. Forget "Genie In A Bottle" and "What A Girl Wants" and jump directly to "Love For All Seasons", "Blessed" and "Obvious". These songs show her more mature side, while the more popluar songs were put on there for the younger crowd (flocking to the record stores!). "So Emotional" and "Somebody's Somebody" are also great uptempo tracks that...Read more

At first glance, Christina Aguilera seems much like the other bazillion bubblegum pop stars out there...namely, Britney Spears. But after purchasing this great CD, I realized that she is a truly gifted singer that really cares about what she does. There are a total of 12 songs on this album, all of them wonderful.1) Genie In A Bottle- Christina's first smash hit, this song is smooth, sexy, and perfect for hanging out.2) What A Girl Wants- another tune that topped the charts a few short months ago. This song is energetic, peppy, and includes a cool part not played on the radio.3) I Turn To You- a beautiful song that is directed more toward a parent then a boyfriend/girlfriend. Christina really shows off her great voice in this one (that long note that she holds in the end is incredible)!4) So Emotional- a slower, more relaxed track. Very nice!5) Come On Over (All I Want Is You)- a really cool, fast song that makes you get up and dance! This track is one of my...Read more
