I Won't Even Try To Deny That Christina Is What This Girl Wants

I'll be honest here, if you don't like Christina Aguilera, if you think she's shallow, slutty, brainless, without substance and/or too skinny, you'll probably hate this concert video. You can say all sorts of negative things about her, but you can never deny that she's A PHENOMENAL SINGER!!! That is the true reason why I love her so much, but I'll admit that she wears her tiny, barely-there outfits remarkably well. One shouldn't be envious, but simply be able to appreciate the really nice-looking body she has. She's cute. Who could deny that?

If you taped this concert when it originally aired on ABC, you'll notice it was missing some VERY IMPORTANT tracks, such as her renditions of "Alright Now," and "At Last." You ought to buy the video for those two songs alone. Wow! And if you're not already convinced of Christina's unparalleled talent, just watch those two performances. She makes a great rocker, and she is perfect for Etta James' "At Last." Her performance of that classic is nothing short of breathtaking.

In my opinion, the video has some additions that were ill-advised. It includes footage from the MTV Diary of Christina Aguilera, and the MTV Making the Video for "Come On Over Baby." Come on! All the fans have seen those things eighty times already! I also can't understand the disturbing transformation of "So Emotional," and why Lil' Bow Wow is allowed to slaughter an otherwise great tune.

"Contigo en la Distancia" is a great Spanish track that was not aired on ABC that everyone should check out. The video also contains many other incredible performances such as "What a Girl Wants," "Genie in a Bottle," "Climb Every Mountain," (from The Sound of Music-Christina is a huge fan of Julie Andrews!) "Christmas Time," "Falsas Esperanzas," "Reflection," and "Come On Over Baby." This is a must for Christina fans.
