Summary: HE'S A 1 STOP SHOP MAKES THE PANTIES DROP
Comment: I would pay to hear Christina sing the alphabet. She gets better with each new CD.
"Makes Me Wanna Pray" it just makes you wanna get out of your chair and dance. She performed it on 'Ellen' Look it up on youtube it's that good.
"Ain't No Other Man" I was excited when I heard this song, Christina had been saying that this CD was gonna be a throwback to the early jazz days. It's a great song that fuses pop/jazz.
"Understand" This is my favorite song on the entire CD Why was this never released as a single?!?!?!
"FUSS" For me this song is a lowpoint-It stands fro F You Scott Storch, the man who co-wrote several songs on the "Stripped" CD I guess they had a falling out. Christina, you're better than this.
"Candyman" Such a fun dance pop number, it kinda reminds me of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" mixed with Lou Bega's "Mambo #5" The video is fun to watch-like a candystore come to life. I'm still confused why radio didn't accept this song. Maye cuz there's no rapper on it.
"Nasty Naughty Boy" Such a big seductive number, I imagine strippers dancing to this one on the pole! "I'll be the first to blow... your mind"
"Hurt" Again beautiful ballad. Strong vocals, lots of emotion.
RCA only released 3 songs from this CD. WHY??? Two CDs full of songs and only 3 songs?! So many pop stars rush out albums but Christina takes her time and releases good quality music. I can't wait to see what she does next!

She is a true pop legend..........

Summary: "The one and only....there never will be another...Christina Aguilera"
Comment: The Back to Basics Intro pretty much sums up how the listener feels after listening to the first note of this record.
As a Christina fan from the very beginning, I have been continually amazed by her versatility. Whether it be bubble-gum pop, soul, gospel, r&b, or even hard rock, Miss Aguilera has always pulled it off perfectly. Her changes always go beyond the studio and into her appearance, so when the world saw The Artist Formerly Known as Xtina ditch her assless chaps and dreads in favor of a "Baby Jane" title, Marylin platinum curls, and siren-red lips, I knew the record would be something unlike anything the world has heard before from the multiple Grammy winner.
Back to Basics does not disappoint. Some criticize the record for being less-personal and raw than Stripped, but really, it is just as honest as the previous record. The only difference is, the artist in question is just happy now.
The newly married Mrs.Bratman is clearly finally finding inner peace, and her husband's love has cured the previously visible emotional scars from her tumultuous childhood.
Songs celebrating her love for her husband and new outlook on life dominate much of the first disc, with songs like "Makes Me Wanna Pray", "Without You", "Understand", and, of course, the Grammy-winning "Ain't No Other Man."
Since Christina refrains from parading her private life in the public, some songs also serve to send messages to her fans about her life. "F.U.S.S." is a completely skippable track, but it serves to answer the lingering questions concerning Scott Storch. "Thank You" is also by no means a hit single, but it's sweet and nicely brought to life in concert.
Many tracks, for that matter, are clearly meant for perfoming. "Nasty, Naughty Boy" is not much to listen to on the album, but when seen live on her Back to Basics tour, you realized why the song was there. The same applies for "Welcome", and the two intros.
Overall, Back to Basics is different, fun, and a display of stunning talent. I speak for many of us when I say that we cannot wait to see what the next album will be like, especially since she is now going to be writing from a totally new perspective: Mommy Christina.
Stand-out tracks are:
(Disc 1):
Ain't No Other Man
Understand
Oh Mother
Without You
Still Dirrty
Here To Stay
(Disc 2):
Hurt
Mercy On Me
Candyman
Save Me From Myself

Summary: Good, but not as good as
Comment: I enjoyed Back To Basics. Both the album and the accompaning world tour. But I think Stripped was just a tiny bit better.

Back to Basics, Christina Aguilera's first disc in four years, refines and clarifies the--let's call it "sexy"--aura surrounding this platinum firebrand. Here, the best belter in a class that counts Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears on its roll call has turned her attention to love songs: the supercharged and ubiquitous first single "Ain't No Other Man," for one, and the hushed stunner "Save Me from Myself" for another. That doesn't mean she's foresworn being nasty, though. Dive deep into this set, past the gorgeous crackle that frames the old-school jazz-, blues-, and soul-inspired tracks on the first disc, and you'll reach a playful and familiar raunch; "Candyman" celebrates a "one-stop shop" who "makes the panties drop" to a boogie-woogie beat, and "Nasty Naughty Boy" sends out a heated, big-beated invitation to "sip on my champagne/Cause I'm gonna give you a little taste/Of the sugar below my waist." Thoughtful listeners should snap out of their fascination with Xtina's undiminished yet newly un-tramp-like sexuality, though, because what they'll really want to focus on throughout these 22 tracks is the honest-to-God artistry. While the rock producer Linda Perry helps disc two pop in interesting and unexpected ways (check the muffled blues number "I Got Trouble" and "Mercy on Me," an obvious nod to Fiona Apple), DJ Premier, a mainstay on Jay-Z and Nas projects, pipes a batch of aural high-fives into the nostalgia-bitten first disc (the deep-down funk of "Back in the Day," the strut-strut early hip-hop sound of "Still Dirrty"). Their nudges aside, though, Back to Basics is all Aguilera's baby--she executive-produced, and she's found herself artistically. Nobody would argue, in fact, if she swiveled around the chorus to "Ain't No Other Man," written for her husband, and aimed it at herself: "You got soul, you got class/You got style, you're bada--." --Tammy La Gorce More from Xtina
