Description: Like fellow former Mickey Mouse clubber Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera kicks off her debut album with a teen-lust nugget--in this case, the No. 1 single "Genie in a Bottle"--that the rest of the disc can't possibly live up to. Aguilera has a strong voice, but patterns herself after iffy role models such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Aside from "Genie," most of this music is straight from the cookie cutter, like the less than successfully sultry "When You Put Your Hands on Me" and the
Mulan ballad showpiece "Reflection." In chart terms, though, there'll be no stopping her--at least for a while.

Bad
Don't buy this album. Christina's old image is cheesy pop and you should see her new album, "Dirrty!" Please buy her new cd and her new single, "Fighter!" The song is better then this whole cd!!!! Don't buy it!!!!!!!!!!
dumb girl like britney!
[...] She is an entertainer! The problem is: you can't stop the stupid kids for buying the celebrate pop crappy albums today. Who still recognize this maid in the next 10 years? it is the same case like britney spears and spice girls!
PS: pls throw away the cd from your window or burn it to the hot ash volcanos!!!
Thank god for america's future pop artists like this one!
Great album!!!
Christina Aguilera is,in no way,gonna end up like Britney Spears.Why?Like I've said before she & many other vocalist CAN sing.Every pop star in the making is always goes through a ritual in where the singer is compared to Britney Spears.So when people say here comes the duplicate of Britney I get pissed!Christina has a voice and sings her heart out to what she wants!Her real debut Just Be Free sucks cause Christina hated what she was suposed to sing.So she left Warlocks Records
& went for what she wanted & it defininatlly wasn't slutty bubblegum pop that rose her to the top of the pop charts!
So her album comes out with vocals even I didn't know one could manage.So in her album she reveals herself with that make love thing in some songs & uses them well.Careful not to make herself look like another Britney.She has everything in this album from hi tempo songs,med tempo songs,power ballads & a party anthenms.So Christina mixes around with these types of pop
& comes up with what her most known song back then Genie In A Bottle.It,in my opinion,was the best first single she could have picked cause it was translating how shes being unleashed into the music industry.

Not a good beginning.
This album is not good, but it's not that bad.
Christina's voice was already powerful, and songs like "I turn to you" and "Reflection" are great.
But the majority of the songs are poor and meaningless.
Forget this CD and buy rather "Stripped", which is so much better.
