Christina Aguilera - Infatuation
I have loved this album track from Stripped since I got the album at Christmas 2002 and I think it's Christina's best ever song imo. I know that's a very extreme thing to say but her passionate vocals, the genius lyrics and the latin music makes it a masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNJDH8D6Gz8 What are all of your views on it? One of Christina's best? These are the (amazing) lyrics: Quote:
[Verse 1]
He comes from a foreign place, an island far away Intrigues me with every move 'til I'm breathless, I'm helpless, can't keep my cool Steals my heart when he takes my hand And we dance to the rhythm of the band Feel fingertips grip my hips and I slip as we dip into a state of bliss Mama used to warn me to beware those Latin lovers She said: I gave my heart to soon and that's how I become your mother I said: Ay Mama you seem to forget I'm not in love yet Sweet talk don't win me over But I realize big brown eyes can hypnotize, when he says [Chorus] I am full blood Boricua, read the tattoo on his arm He tells me mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero, te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation, can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation [Verse 2] Skin the color of cinnamon, his eyes light up and I melt within Feels so good it must be a sin I can't stop what I started I'm givin' in He brings life to my fantasies, sparks a passion inside of me Finds the words when I cannot speak I silence his heart beat is music to me Mama used to warn me not to rush love with another She said: I'm not trying to lecture I just care about my daughter I said: Ay Mama you seem to forget I never will let a man control my emotions But when he smiles I feel like a little child, and when he smiles he says [Chorus] I am full blood Boricua, read the tattoo on his arm He tells me mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero, te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation, can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation [Bridge] Caught between my Mama's words and what I feel inside I'm wanting to explore his world but part of me wants to hide Should I risk it, can't resist it, this has caught me by surprise Should I let him take me to Puerto Rico I can't hold back no more let's go tonight Papi hold me, say that you adore me Never let go never leave me lonely Papi hold me, say that you adore me Never let go never leave me lonely [Chorus] I am full blood Boricua, read the tattoo on his arm He tells me mami I need ya and my heart beat pumps so strong Getting lost in el ritmo he whispers te quiero, te quiero I begin to give in with no hesitation, can't help my infatuation It's pure infatuation |

If you like latin Christina you should buy her Spainish album.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mi-Reflejo-N...7379045&sr=1-1 Only 4 of the songs on there are translations. The rest is all new material. Well worth it. |

Dunno why this never got released. Infact so many songs on Stripped were better than 'The Voice Within'

I think they planned to release 'Get Mine, Get Yours' after 'Dirrty' as she performed it quite a few times during the early promo tours but when 'Dirrty' flopped in America they rushed out 'Beautiful' and then tried to distance her from the racey stuff. All this back in the days when she was managed correctly.

She surely can't fake passion like that.

Her first three singles were all great choices (for here anyway) then TVW and that awful Lil Kim number instead of songs like Infatuation, Underappreciated or even Impossible to capatalise on Alicia Keys popularity wasn't good imo of course.
The Voice Within is a brilliant track as well. The lyrical concept is inspirational as it's all about self-empowerment and that's one of the things I love about Christina. But 'Beautiful' had already been released so another song of that type probably wasn't necessary but it did well in the UK (#9) for a FIFTH single of a 2-million-selling album. |

Yes I'm aware of them but I wasn't sure if I would understand it.

Infatuation is an awesome song, but my fave album track from Stripped has always been Soar. I love it and I remember hearing it on a film trailer and hoping we'd see a video for it, but it never happened.
I loved the Spanish version of Get Mine, Get Yours that was on I think the Dirrty single, if not it was on Beautiful or Fighter. |

I just listened to Infatuation on my iPod AGAIN and it keeps giving me shivers.
Shame Christina never stuck with this sound. At least she can say she made one of the best albums ever! So many deep themes on the album which I love - self empowerment, female empowerment and feminism, sexuality, abuse, passion etc. |

Most artist only ever make one or 2 masterpieces in their entire career, Look at Oasis, they never got anywhere near the standard of their first 2 albums.
I have to praise Christina on being diverse and ambitious though. Back to Basics, while not a record I love, was a brilliant idea and Bionic seems ok from what i've read. I haven't actually got to buying it yet.
