Tomorow she releases a decade of hits, i have pre-ordered my CD/DVD version. I love Christina she has done some brilliant songs and i am really looking forward to it.

So i thought i'd create this appreciation topic so we can all chat things christina.

I'm a bit upset actually that she has left off 'Reflection', 'Can't Hold Us Down', 'The Christmas Song', 'Carwash', 'Tilt Your Head back', 'Oh Mother' and some of her spanish tracks from the GH. But I'm still looking forward to it. I ordered my cd/dvd last week and amazon dispatced it on Friday so I should have it tomorrow with luck!

I'm also annoyed that the videos for 'Nobody Wants To Be Loney' and 'Lady M' don't appear to be on the DVD

Best voice of her generation and one of the great female vocalists.

Greatest hits should be good but her reworking of her classics are bad! She should never have changed them.

ALL the original songs will be on the GH i.e. original Genie in a bottle and Beautiful, she just added remix versions too, so don't worry, skip the remixes if you don't like them and listen to the original ones

I read that she re-recorded genie in a bottle for the GH CD as well as doing a 2nd version of genie (2.0).

I still can't understand why Can't Hold Us Down isn't on there.

Her album Stripped is still my favourite album even after 6 years. Totally a head of her time. Britney will never have an album like that. imo.

No one will have such a complete album like stripped, it had everything

Also Christina in the new target ad, says she chose her favourite songs maybe she isn't feeling CHUD

Just got mine! Playing it now.

I didn't realise that 'The Voice Within' video isn't included yet the track is on the CD.

I like the new single Dynamite more than Keeps Gettin Better.

The booklet is comic strip style. Quite funky. It only contains lyrics for Keeps Gettin Better and Dynamite.

I noticed that the video for A Voice Within wasn't on the DVD too. It's a shame because it's such a great video.

I'm not too fussed about Can't Hold Us Down not being on there. It would be nice to have all her songs on it, but i can live without it

Yep it's the same photo's as the advert so I think the album photoshoot must have taken place on the same day by the looks of it.

I still don't understand why the target advert has better video for Keeps Gettin Better than the real thing! They obviously did have the time and money.

I agree, the advert version was much better.

Still, nothing we can do...it's a great track though and it got to #14 yesterday.

Not bad, i doubt it will go much further.

Her own fault really. I think waiting so long or a video and then having a 30 second advert which was better than the real thing did it. She will just have to work hard on the PR for her new album which she has said will be out in the Summer.

Aside from I Turn To You. I think that's her weakest UK chart slot ever.

Do you have her Spainish album Moly?

I love this one more though

Her Chrismas one is a good buy too. I bought this when it first came out in 2000 and it was the first time I realised just how good her voice really was.

I actually really like her remixed versions of Genie in a Bottle and Beautiful, not as good as the originals but different and they remind me of video games
She's fantastic, Stripped is a wicked album in particular and while Back to Basics wasn't that popular it had some really amazing tracks on it, with the amount of songs in there it was never all going to be amazing though.

The Beautiful remix has grown on me after hearing the HQ version.

RE: Stripped. I think her having such an amazing album so early on really created problems for her, as everyone will always expect her new work to be just as good or even top it. But when you have such an outstanding album it's hard to follow it up. I think people expected Back To Basics to be Stripped part 2 but it wasn't and I think that's people's problem with it.
