So was Trouble. And none of the promo singles were sent to radio.
edit: that's not very clear. what I mean is that the promo singles were only available via itunes and not sent to radio. It isn't until they are picked up as singles when they get videos and widespread radio play. Begin Again and Trouble were two of the songs on the album released as promo singles, and later released as regular singles.
So I'm listening to Christina's debut album for the first time in forever.
Man, "Come On Over (All I Want is You)" is just immaculate. Even still. Honestly right up there with Mariah's "Emotions" and Spice Girls' "If You Wanna Be My Lover" as just perfectly CRAFTED Pop songs. They all combine different elements - singing, rapping, whistle, dance breaks - but no one part outweighs the other and everything has a place.
God, ALL the singles from Xtina's debut are just flawless. I know this album gets overlooked because it really was just built around the singles. But I don't think a debuting artist could have asked for better songs. I don't even think Britney's singles were better outside of the ICONIC "Baby One More Time" and MAYBE "Sometimes."

"Come On Over" is cute, but immaculate? No.
Genie certainly qualifies though.

Of course Genie set an impossible standard for the other lessers at the time, but how could you not LOVE Come On Over's chorus????

I do - it was a staple of my Radio Disneyfied childhood. But it's far from pop perfection, even within Xtina's own discography.
Its easy breezy bounciness is easily surpassed by "What A Girl Wants" for instance.

BOMT aside, I like Christina's debut more than Britney's. The peak of teen pop.
At least until The Emancipation of Carly Rae Jepsen.
"Come on Over" isn't immaculate, but it is simply amazing. Simply one of the best song Christina has released, and a staple of the POP era that it released in. Many pop stars wish they could have an amazing song on their debut album, and few have ever had one as good.
Taking this trip down memory lane reminded me of this video of Debutney:
Britney Spears: Funky, Cool, Emailer
"'Email My heart' is, like, a song everyone can relate to. You know, everyone has been doing e-mails, you know, and the song is "Email My Heart" so everyone can relate to that song."
HOW could you not love her? *.*

Sis you know I've had her on notice for the last year. She's always in my heart though. Lotus was fabulous at its release but it doesn't have legs. I need her to make music that can inspire me again.
I hope Japan does good things for ha
POSSIBLE lie detected. The singles from "Christina Aguilera" were all flawless, indeed. But you are praising "Come On Over" when you should be talking about "Come On Over Baby". The changes made to the single version were all for the better, and it is the only one that matterS.
Hope this was just a simple typO on your part.
Wendy Williams praises Christina's look at The Voice premier
She's not even on the show this season.
All she did was walk the carpet at the premier.
And the world is STILL talking. STILL gagging. Not caring one bit about the new judges.
Only a Legend of the United States.

Ch...Xtina's been on the covers of tabloids and blogs all this week for how good she looked at the premier.
I just posted the Wendy Williams video because I just saw it.

I think the best part is that it doesn't even look like she's lost weight. She's just dressing with real style. Her hair looks fantastic. She isn't slathered in clown makeup. Her dress is classy. Good job, Christina.Wendy Williams praises Christina's look at The Voice premier

Clearly someone has taken control. New stylist maybe? Or at least someone telling her stylist what direction to go in. Hopefully her next album makes the same improvements.
She's serving some Anna Nicole Smith realness in the first picture. Definitely an improvement.The improvemenT *.*
LORD, I'd never participate in something like this.
I might have sent a picture to appear in the "Here's To Never Growing Up" lyric tho tee hee.
Also
Not Brooke Candy working with Sia.
She's getting ready to slay and y'all not ready.
RIGHT!?!?!?
Brooke Candy and SIA of all people!? I can't even FATHOM what that's going to sound like. But I'm here for some Poetic Ratchetness.
brooke candy is an even more putrid version of iggy azalea
not here for it
BYE
Iggy and Brooke are not the same type of rapper.
Iggy is trying to be the Tupac of female rappers - i.e. popular rapper who makes danceable bops with an obvious "this is my life" slant.
Brooke is clearly trying to be the next Trina of rappers - i.e. ratchet and sexual fun that's undeniably catchy but you don't take seriously while also being grounded in semi-serious lyricism.
I C this racism.
I see some hope with Iggy in Work. The production on that shits. The mix of ratchet beats with typical classical music. I live.
Brooke reminds me of a lesser version of Keedy Black and Katie Got Bandz.
Not here for it.
