Negative Positive
Title: Caught up in celebrity, instead of music.
Review: I will be the first to say that Christina Aguilera has a gift. Her voice is quite powerful and very versatile. However, this album is a blatant example of how she can take a standard song and transform it into something that leaves me unable to comprehend the words. I have always thought that the biggest reason that Christina sings, is to hear herself. This album does not invite nor invoke any spirit of Christmas or the frame of mind that is associated with it. It is basically a 'look what I can do that you can't' album that fails in every aspect. Whitney Houston is known to do the same kind of thing during her performances, but her albums tone that down enough for the listener to enjoy and revel in her mastery. This album makes no attempt to do that. It is an album that Christina made for Christina, and not one that is meant to be 'shared' as Christmas albums with standards should.
Is the review positive or negative?
