[edit] Reviews
- Christina Aguilera never fails to wow her fans with her beautiful voice and belting prowess and combines it with hip-hoppy sounds. This album is nostalgia-kissed and explores the music of the years before and, surprisingly it all sounded so good! -Vheliefish 17:50, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
