Album Reviews
Too bad the rest of this ingenue's debut skimps on the single's ingenuity. Anxious to establish Aguilera as heir to Mariah's diva throne, the usual producer-songwriter suspects (Diane Warren, Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers) clone Monica-Brandy-R. Kelly tunes too closely -- "So Emotional" even cribs a Whitney title. Bubble-brained lyrics give Aguilera little substance to spin into gold, so her copious vocal curves and trills sound secondhand. Pop's next It Girl deserves to be outfitted in something more flattering than the empress's old clothes.

While Christina should be the heir to Mariah's diva throne, her voice isn't quite strong yet but she's sure getting there.
-Genie in a Bottle- is surely the best start for CA, which has some pianic instruments with some hip-hop into the mix. With the secondhand help of -What a Girl Wants- it's no surprise that Christina has great producers and songwriters helping her, although, the fun in those two great singles is short-lived, as the ballad of -I Turn to You- starts with a soft balladry vibe. It's nice and a little bit on the -for your love- side, but it sure demonstrates Christina's power-pipes a whole lot.
-Come on Over(All I want is you)- is poppin' too and although some tracks such as the ballad of -Obvious- beats that to the ground, all songs on this album is worth listening to if you have an open mind about it.
It's above average but some tracks such as
-Blessed- and -Love will find a Way- are only average. Christina is still finding a place where she can be comfortable.
