Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics

[xiaou-xijiang]

^did you buy the album? I liked the booklet. it seemed very glossy and colorful compared to her Stripped (which was all black and white ) some of the pictures were just go, 'stina!

[Eternally]

This album is pretty good. I love that classic feel of it. But "Stripped" is still the better album from her so far.

hmmm there is one cd which is really "back to basics" and another who mixed between old school and modern, anyway....her song are meaningfull to me,if you look into the meaning,not only the song,and you will find out that this album's gorgeous. but i don't like "thank you".

this album looks like her tribute to people around her,like her husband,her mom,and her fans

[xiaou-xijiang]

I felt the same way as you did at first no doubt. I kept skipping through the songs. It wasn't until I really stopped and listened that I felt that this was a good album. Still, I'm finding some songs I didn't like before really good now. Like Mercy on Me and Save Me from Myself.

[No_Doubt]

^It does seem like an album that will sound better after repeated listens. I think it could be a excellent album once I get accustomed to the new style and develop more of an appreciation for it.

^ I'm digging Candyman now. I didn't really like it before...

I bought the album after downloading it, and I feel good about that. I went to K-mart and got it for 12.99, even though the sticker said 19.99, cd's always have first week discount prices to jack up the first weeks sales. I am happy with this album.

[Ayumi-Yummi]

I luv Candyman, the lyrics are so nasty!
I will buy the album today at target, woo.
My grandma seen the Good Morning America concert on the tv yesterday and told my fav. uncle that she loved it! So you know my uncle had to give me the news. My grandpa also said he loved the big band sound~ I thought that was pretty cool.

I hope an edited version of Candyman comes around soon so I can put the song on a mix cd for work, though I doubt the kids would understand what she's meaning anyways.

I Love Love Love the album. I think with music now the whole throwback theme can drag I agree. I still loved it though.
Favorites~
Ain't No Other Man (duh!)
Understand
Oh Mother
Slow Down Baby
Candyman
alot to be honest...

Christina Aguilera was on MTV's All Eyes on Christina for the VMAs. On the interview she discusses her new album, her thoughts, her marriage and her life.
go here and click on VMAs and then click on Videos. Click on the little bubble that says All Eyes on Christina and then the interview will come up on the left side. This was an interesting interview, when I saw it on MTV yesterday. It had a lot of good insight on Christina's thoughts on the album and how she was inspired by events in her life and her legends.

That was really good. I pretty knew about everything she was talking about already. I think she's actually a good role model. I know alot of people would disagree because of the way she dresses. Thats actually one of the reason thats she's actually a good one. She's comfortable in her own skin.

I think the same thing. Her thought's on woman equality and society is ideal for any woman to have. I liked her more because of her new look and attitude that she was showing the public. It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like that.

I rank her albums.
1. Stripped her breakthrough album, my all time fav. 9.5/10
2. Back to Basics. Awesomness. I love that through back feel. 9.0/10
3. Christina Aguilera. I liked her vocals and most of her songs. but she was too much like all the other pop princess for me to like her as much as I do now. 7.6/10

Stripped was awesome!!! And it is! Back to Basics is great too. I love it!!

But her best song is:

THE RIGHT MAN

I love Stripped and her debut album. The best albums from X-tina. I really want her new album. I can`t wait to get it.

[HvnSntGurl]

The Right Man is cool~
I like Save Me From Myself more.

02 Makes Me Wanna Pray
03 Aint No Other Man
04 Understand
05 Slow Down Baby
06 Without You
07 Still Dirrty
08 Candyman
09 Nasty Naughty Boy
10 I got Trouble
11 Hurt
12 The Right Man
13 Here to Stay
14 Thank You (Dedication to Fans...)

Can we say winner?! Now that would've been an awesome album

[HvnSntGurl]

I wonder if she's going to be #1 here.
