To have an incredible voice and being able to sing well is a rare combination to find in todays world of music. Melissa Ethridge has a so-so voice, but is a fantastic singer. You want examples? Mariah Carey has a fantastic voice but is a very poor singer. In the recording industry, there are artists with great voices, there are artists that can really sing well and then there are the very select few who can do both. This CD is a milestone and turning point in her career. She has always posessed an incredible voice but until this CD, has chosen not to use it to her advantage. This is the first CD of Christina's that I've ever owned because up to this point, I didn't care for her choice of recording material. "Back to Basics" is Christina Aguilera's long awaited third cd and fans will not be disappointed.This is a double disc release with just over 20 songs and a bonus video.Disc one provides some really great performances from Christina."Ain't no other man","Understand","On our way","Without you",and "Still Dirrty" are all potential hit-makers.The only track that was disappointing was the last one entitled "Thank You" because it is a bunch of voice messages to Christina from fans.It just wasn't necessary because everyone knows that she has millions of fans who loves everything about her.I know I'm one.As for disc two Christina is really having fun with these songs."Candy Man" has a great WW2 Swing feeling vibe to it."I got Trouble" is a fantastic blues number and "Nasty Naughty Boy" proves that Christina can be just as sexy with her voice as she is with her looks."Mercy on Me" and "Save me from Myself" are powerful vocal performances.The Cd booklet has alot of photos of Christina in dress up theme from the 20's and 30's era and she still remains to be hotter than ever.Bottom line is that "Back to Basics" is Christina's best artistic work thus far and if you are a fan than you'll will love this cd and if you are not a fan now is a good time to become one with this cd. It's good to have Christina back to basics!
