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 favorites. I wonder why it was never a hit on the radio...
6) Reflection- Who could ever listen to this amazing song and then call Christina a cheesy pop artist? This gorgeous, soulful ballad showcases Aguilera's wonderful voice. If you have not heard this song yet in the Disney movie, "Mulan," then I suggest that you listen to it. You'll be impressed!
7) Love For All Seasons- a very pretty song, but beware the digital ending!
8) Somebody's Somebody- a great song. It is very catchy, so don't blame me when you start clapping your hands and tapping your feet to the beat!
9) When You Put Your Hands On Me- a sophisticated, sexy song. Don't worry, parents, it's clean.
10) Blessed- an okay song, but you can't really appreciate the beauty of Christina's voice here.
...
11) Love Will Find A Way- another really catchy song. After hearing it once, this tune was stuck in my head all day (not that that's a bad thing...)!
12) Obvious- a pretty song, but it may be considered a "filler" to some...it's nice anyway!
Well, there you have it. Christina Aguilera is quite talented, and doesn't deserve to be labeled as just another pop singer. She sings with all of her heart and soul, and her fantastic voice reflects that. I highly recommend Christina's self-titled debut album to any true music lover.
