Title: Get This Girl A Songwriter Fer Gods' Sakes
Review: I bought this in a haze of holiday optimism, having heard Ms. Aguilera knock my socks off dueting with Tony Bennett on a television tribute show. There is no denying that the girl can sing. Unfortunately, what she sings here is banal at best, and downright irritating at worst--lots of gratuitous squealing. It's a real shame to see a talent like hers drowned by the tide of pop mediocrity. I reluctantly gave this two stars rather than one in recognition of my age. Maybe I just don't get it. Then again, maybe it's just not there for me to get.
