Reviews Customer Reviews for Christina Aguilera      Christina Aguilera      Rating:      I recently saw one of those biography shows about CA and it made me really curious about her debut. At the time, I wasn't interested in the teen popsters that dominated the airwaves and so never paid her any attention till I purchased her second album, STRIPPED. After listening to it for a while, I can see why she won her grammy. This is an excellent debut which shows her vocal ability in singing pop/dance, ballads and r&b tinged singles. I truly enjoy listening to the first 7 tracks which is a great opening in my book! The other two tracks that stand out to me are BLESSED & OBVIOUS. This is an excellent debut that did what debuts are supposed to do - produced great singles and introduced the world to a new voice in the music field.     Customer Reviews for Christina Aguilera Cd      A lot Better Than Given Credit For...      Rating:      When Christina's debut album first came out, loads of people were quick to brand Christina the rival of Britney Spears and since then, it seems compared to Britney, Christina's albums will never be at par. Sad considering Christina is the one with the more vocal talent and not as manufactured as Britney is. When I look back in my opinion, while Britney's debut (...Baby One More Time) had catchy beats and fun tunes to listen to - Christina's is more enjoyable to listen to, and has more mature subjects. The one thing that lacks on this album though is some of the songs do not really show case Christina's vocal talents. 'Genie In A Bottle' opens the album. It maybe one of the late 90's pop princess sounding songs but this song does contain sexual references, not to a large extent but a minimal one. It's not a bad first single or opening track and it does stand out on the album in its own way. Its tongue and cheek in a cute way. 10/10 The second track 'What A Girl Wants' brings in the typical boyfriend song jive. An upbeat pop song about a girl telling her boy what exactly a girl wants and what she needs from her boy. 9/10 'I Turn To You', a slow ballad, could be dedicated to just about anybody whether it be a friend, relative or lover. Whoever you can turn to in a time of need. Christina's vocals are really show cased hear, especially in the middle of the song when she hits that powerful high note. 10/10 'So Emotional' is a more mid-tempo song. Another sort of sexual track with a more soulful vibe doesn't showcase her vocals much but it's not a bad song. 7/10 'Come On Over (All I Want Is You)' another upbeat song about a girl wanting nobody else but her boyfriend. The radio/video version is better than this version and has more mature lyrics, this version isn't bad though. 9/10 'Reflection', another ballad from the Disney movie Mulan. Christina's vocals are perfect on this track it can send chills up your spine. It's amazing. Great track! 10/10 'Love For All Seasons'. Kind of a corny ballad, it's OK. About a girl expressing her love in different ways and comparing them to the change of the seasons. 7/10 'Somebody's Somebody' - a bit of a filler, not bad, but not enjoyable either. 5/10 'When You Put Your Hands On Me' is a bit of another sexual song, but again doesn't go too far into the deep end. 7/10 'Blessed' is another nice ballad, I love this track although I don't quite understand the meaning of the song. Someone is blessed about something in their life non-the-less. 9/10 'Love Will Find A Way', an upbeat track about how love will eventually find a way and not to worry about all the bad in life because something is bound to smile on you sometime and bring happiness and joy. One of my favourite tracks. 10/10 'Obvious', yet another ballad but the perfect ballad for Christina. The perfect way to end an amazing album, show cases her vocals also. 9/10 To end this review, while critics were quick to jump Christina and compare her to Britney and brand Britney's debut more 'addictive' and 'enjoyable', I have to disagree on both counts. Christina is more talented and what irritates me is when she sheds some skin, the critics are quick to jump on her and call her every nasty name in the book, but once Britney does it, its considered 'hot' and 'the perfect return to the music industry'. But, that aside, this album is a wonderful album and if you're looking for an album that's a cross between young pop music and more mature pop music, than this is the perfect album for your collection by the best female pop artist out there today. One of my personal favourites to this day and always enjoyable no matter day of the week. This album deserved and rightfully earned Christina 'Best New Artist' at the Grammy Awards in 2000.
