Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera

At the age of 19, the New Yorker Christina Aguilera released her self-entitled debut album in 1999. The record finds her performing at her most basic level, at a time when she relied heavily upon her amazing vocals and chose to direct it all in a Pop format with minimalistic attempts at trying out anything different (unlike later material). 1. "Genie In A Bottle" This song was her breakthrough single, and was relevantly chosen to begin this record as you find that she gets right down to her top-quality material by singing a song well-received by fans as she took advantage of this being a very popular time (the Millennium period) for new ...  Read the complete review

Christina Aguilera has an amazingly mature voice for an 18-year-old girl, her voice is one of the finest to come along since the likes of super divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston first made their debuts.

Its really very boring. Its not a difficult song to sing and she doesn't sing it amazingly well. Its all synthesizers and vo-coders and as for the lyrical content! ...  Read the complete review
