So I was somewhat relieved to hear "Falzas Esperanzas." The track contains a much more Latin feel to it, and her bad speech is overshadowed by some amazing vocal projections. By the end of the song, I was hoping that it would get better than "Genio Atrapado." Her Spanish is anything but fluent, and her speech sounds slightly slurred. The album opens with Aguilera's tranlsation of her first hit, "Genie In A Bottle," only now called "Genio Atrapado." I believed that Aguilera, being of Hispanic heritage, would dominate Spanish to perfection-but how wrong I was. It's hard to imagine that after the success of Aguilera's debut album, she would render fans with a quick conglomeration of Aguilera's previous hits in Spanish and a few new tracks that sound too rushed to be deemed "well-made." To prove that she wants to acknowledge her Spanish roots? So what your father is Ecuadorian? My mother is Panamanian.your point? If she wants to prove that she's not a pop princess, then come out with an album that proves otherwise but not a whole Spanish album, because it seems phony, and show-offy to me.Review Summary: The second album by Christina Aguilera contains her biggest hits translated to Spanish-yet it is all lost in translation. I just don't understand what the purpose of this album was. She just had someone translate it for her. Now we all know Christina didn't write that. It also annoyed me to see all of the credits and linear notes in Spanish. I'm more than happy to give her credit - yes, girl, you can sing, but the whole idea of a Spanish album by her is kind of irksome. Christina's voice is divine, but once again, I'd much rather hear her sing it in English because the words are powerful and I feel that she sings it with emotion, not just because she has a great voice and can sing Spanish lyrics.Īnyway, I'm not bashing Christina. I do love the song Mi Reflejo (Reflection). I don't know what it was that Selena had, but Christina doesn't have that emotion in her voice to make me feel the beauty of the Spanish. I guess it comes with time or experience, or something. Selena was a singer who didn't know Spanish, but you felt the emotion in her words when she sang in Spanish.
She can just pronounce the words and sing it beautifully, but there's nothing behind it. She clearly doesn't understand what she's singing. I just don't feel any emotion in it as she sings. It's not a difficult language, and yes, Christina's voice is technically great, but it's nothing for her to sing some Spanish lyrics. The way I feel about it is this: I don't feel that Christina 'feels' what she is singing when she sings in Spanish. This is not a bad CD, and it's not a great CD. I think Christina has a terrific voice, I mean, she sounds better than Mariah Carey did when she was good. Needless to say, Ricky Martin-loving Latin pop enthusiasts will find as much to enjoy here as diehard Aguilera fans. Most of the album, however, features new songs chosen specifically for this project and recorded with a Latin pop approach in mind. Sure, it doesn't hurt that MI REFLEJO will endear her to a whole new audience, but the singer has professed a desire to do something like this that dates back to her pre-icon days.A few of the tunes here are simply versions of her previous hits-including the breakthrough smash "Genie in a Bottle"-with Spanish lyrics. Teen pop goddess Christina Aguilera, who comes from Ecuadorian stock, uses this album as an opportunity to pay homage to her roots.
