Christina Aguilera's My Reflection is a mirror that shows where the teen-pop diva's going (toward grown-up diva-dom as an R&B star) and where she's been (showcasing her navel on a dance-infused tour). Aguilera's first concert video, a repackaging of a slick special that aired on ABC-TV in 2000, shows what this "girl" really wants is to move beyond the bouncy R&B-flavored pop she's known for. Her cheeky hits ("Genie in a Bottle," "Come On Over, Baby," "What a Girl Wants") are followed by songs from Mi Reflejo, her Spanish-language album, and My Kind of Christmas, her holiday release. She has sweet duets with R&B legend Dr. John on "Merry Christmas, Baby" and balladeer Brian McKnight on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and shares the stage with rapper Lil' Bow Wow (weird, but it works) on "So Emotional" and "Christmas Time." (Quick behind-the-scenes interviews from MTV's Diary punctuate the concert.) Despite her inability to resist over-the-top vocal histrionics, Aguilera's range is impressive, whether she's performing a spirited rendition of Free's 1970 hit "All Right Now" or belting out Etta James's 1961 classic "At Last," after giving the blues singer a heartfelt tribute. --Valerie J.

Customer Reviews

Simply Amazing
It would be easy to typecast Christina Aguilera as a teen phenomenon, but one viewing of this DVD should convince even the most anti-teen singer skeptics to realize the simple fact that her voice is one of the best in music today. This video, which is a compilation of her big pop hits, Christmas classics, cuts from her less radio-saturating Spanish-language album and a few choice covers is a view into Christina's ability to do what she does best - sing live.

She is lumped in with Britney Spears, but her vocal talent far exceeds that of her Britney and their other peers. Her cover of the Etta James classic "At Last" not only shows she has the voice, but the soul to go along with it. While other reviewers have commented negatively on her sometimes overly-theatrical vocal acrobatics, it's amazing to watch a young singer discover the power and range of her own voice. She does so on this DVD.

Few performers can match the quality of their studio recordings when performing live, and even fewer can exceed it. Christina Aguilera exceeds it, and we can only hope that she will continue to assert her artistic nature and branch out beyond the quick success of bubble gum pop and into bigger and better genres.

Whitney and Mariah - watch out!

This Girl Can Sang!!!!
First of all I want to say that Xtina has one of the best voices out there right now. This DVD is so much better than her first! She sings her heart out in every song. My favorites are:

So Emotional: She sings this song with so much soul. It is 10x's better than the album version. And Lil' Bow Wow puts glitter on an already star-studded performance.

At Last: Christina tears this song up. It's the best version live that I've seen her do. She holds her notes longer, and sounds a bit like Ms. Etta herself on certain parts of the song.

Climb Every Mountain: I love Christina's range and pitch in this performance. The gospel choir compliments her talent. I would love to see more of this from her in the future.

Alright Now: Christina proves that she can light up the stage without the back-up dancers. She tore up this rock classic, and sounded great doing it!

Merry Christmas, Baby: What can I say? No other young pop singer can sing the blues like Ms. Aguilera. This performance was incredible.

Overall the DVD is well worth every dime. This is the perfect item for any Christina collection. I promise you won't be upset that you purchased this DVD.

GoXtina!
Ten times better than "Genie Gets Her Wish", this DVD features Christina live in concert with a big band and orchestra complimenting her performance as she takes you through her pop hits, her Spanish album, and Christmas selections.

This DVD only reiterates the fact that Christina truly has great vocal range, not only in highs and lows, but also in style. In Christina's concert performances, her vocals are pure and live with minimal pre-recorded supporting tracks. You watch and listen for the vocal performance, not the supporting pop effects tracks and pop melody.

If you have seen "Genie Gets Her Wish", you may notice that Christina's demeanor is more mature in this DVD, especially in the way she speaks. However, her playfulness shows through her performance.

The audio mix includes a 5.1 surround-sound track, which was not available on Christina's previous DVD. However, this DVD does not feature the American music video of "Come On Over Baby", which I would have expected on this DVD release. It does include four music videos from her Spanish album release, and the Spanish version of "Come On Over Baby" is on this DVD. I should mention that the Spanish music videos are just re-edited versions of the American release with all the shots replaced where Christina sings (where her lips wouldn't match). The dance and beauty shots are for the most part intact.

The DVD is 65 minutes long, with enough pop selections to satisfy the teeny bopper fans and several other great selections not available on the same recording. The Christmas selections are nice, but it's kind of strange to watch them and be transported to December in the middle of June. Overall, this DVD is a must-have and is well worth the price for every Xtina fan!
