Reviews

  • Christina Aguilera is the third and last of the New Mickey Mouse Club alumni to hit the charts in the mid-'90s. She's blessed with a rich strong and outstanding vocals. All her albums are great from her self-titled album to her latest Album "Back to Basics", each albums have different style and sound (sexy, soul, modern, rock, old school, jazzy, upbeat). My favourites among her songs are: "Reflection", "Lady Marmalade", "Dirrty", "I Turn To You", "The Voice Within", "Beautiful", "Hurt" and "Candy Man". No Matter what other critics says, they know that she really got the style and definitely an amazing voice. - Grazel 09:03, 25 May 2007 (PDT)
