 Christina Aguilera: Keeps Gettin' Better Deluxe-Edition CD with Bonus DVD - Only at Target $15.99 When it comes to Christina Aguilera, if have to admit she's my favorite singer. She's got the most beatiful and amazing voice and even when she's used to those crazy looks, she's managed to keep her personal life almost out of trouble. In my opinion, this CD is only missing one great song: "Pero me acuerdo de ti". That was quite a hit in the spanish market and is my tpersonal favorite. With only this one "glitch" aside, this is trully a "must have". If you still haven't fallen into Christina Aguilera's voice, this is a great way to start.  Christina Aguilera (Popular Matching Folios) $18.95 First and foremost, THIS IS NOT A BIO OF CHRISTINA AGUILERA, IT IS SHEET MUSIC! If you are looking for a bio of Christina, try Molly MacDermont's, it's informative and a quick read. This is a nicely put-together collection of Christina's songs, all bound up in a beautiful color introduction book. This includes all of her songs from her debut disc, including hits such as "What A Girl Wants," "Reflection," "Genie In A Bottle," "I Turn to You" and the original (no rap) "Come On Over." It also has some wonderful non-single tracks like "When You Put Your Hands on Me" and Christina's favorite of the album, the soulful "Obvious." While I have several of these books for different artists (BSB, *NSYNC, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and of course Christina), this is perhaps the most stunning because this one includes an introduction from the man who "discovered" Christina. It's very informative and a wonderful source of info for hardcore fans like myself. Some of the songs are excellent (if a bit on the difficult level), while other lack proper keys, there are several obvious mistakes in this book, and a few not-so obvious.If nothing else, it's a wonderful guide to her lyrics and vocal arrangements and an informative behhind the scenes look at the album, the song selections, and the fun of putting it together! A must for any fan.  Stripped $9.99 I say fundamental because if you are growing up, you're undoubtedly facing many of today's peer pressure and negativity that Christina addresses on many tracks on this album. You may not agree with her image, but you cannot deny that several songs on this album such as "Beautiful" and "The Voice Within" are the kinds of messages you WANT your kids to listen to growing up. They possess such a strong message of the power of self-esteem and never letting anyone bring you down. Thanks Christina. |
