Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: It would be easy to typecast Christina Aguilera as a teen phenomenon, but one viewing of this DVD should convince even the most anti-teen singer skeptics to realize the simple fact that her voice is one of the best in music today. This video, which is a compilation of her big pop hits, Christmas classics, cuts from her less radio-saturating Spanish-language album and a few choice covers is a view into Christina's ability to do what she does best - sing live.

She is lumped in with Britney Spears, but her vocal talent far exceeds that of her Britney and their other peers. Her cover of the Etta James classic "At Last" not only shows she has the voice, but the soul to go along with it. While other reviewers have commented negatively on her sometimes overly-theatrical vocal acrobatics, it's amazing to watch a young singer discover the power and range of her own voice. She does so on this DVD.

Few performers can match the quality of their studio recordings when performing live, and even fewer can exceed it. Christina Aguilera exceeds it, and we can only hope that she will continue to assert her artistic nature and branch out beyond the quick success of bubble gum pop and into bigger and better genres.

Whitney and Mariah - watch out!

Summary: "My Reflection...Of When I Wasn't A Street Walker"
Review: Seriously, that ought to be the title of this DVD. Though hearing Christina sing live these days is as pleasant as nails scratching a blackboard, she sings her hits nicely on this Christmas special. There are your classic Christina (or X-Tina as she likes to be called) songs, What A Girl Wants, Genie In A Bottle, Come On Over Baby etc. There is excitement from the crowd and there is a special guest on So Emotional- stupid mouse Bow Wow formally known as Lil' Bow Wow. Though she sings I Turn To You horribly on here, the other hits sound pretty good. I wish someone would tell her that her live singing is atrocious these days. Have you heard her attempting to sing Fighter live? Geesh. The Christmas songs on here aren't even worth looking at. It's pathedic, except maybe the last one called Christmas Time. And she has destroyed one of my favorite songs, Climb Every Mountain. Why oh why? My summary is that she sings most of her hits well but the holiday stuff and the covers are extremely boring and extremely don't-waste-my-time-like. At least she's wearing clothes which is something that her street walker mentality these days fails to contemplate. Oh, if only we could get back to her days of common sense....

Summary: This review very helpful to me!
Review: Sorry for not speak English well. Christina Aguilera my favorite teen pop sensation! Not just a great model and good singer, she is also very emotional. When brother Jin Leung take me to see her show at amphitheatre, Christina almost make me cry with comedy skills and makeup. This DVD exactly like that show. Even in July Christina make me wish Christmas returns with "Merry Christmas Baby" with her father John Aguilera.

Summary: GoXtina!
Review: Ten times better than "Genie Gets Her Wish", this DVD features Christina live in concert with a big band and orchestra complimenting her performance as she takes you through her pop hits, her Spanish album, and Christmas selections.

This DVD only reiterates the fact that Christina truly has great vocal range, not only in highs and lows, but also in style. In Christina's concert performances, her vocals are pure and live with minimal pre-recorded supporting tracks. You watch and listen for the vocal performance, not the supporting pop effects tracks and pop melody.

If you have seen "Genie Gets Her Wish", you may notice that Christina's demeanor is more mature in this DVD, especially in the way she speaks. However, her playfulness shows through her performance.

The audio mix includes a 5.1 surround-sound track, which was not available on Christina's previous DVD. However, this DVD does not feature the American music video of "Come On Over Baby", which I would have expected on this DVD release. It does include four music videos from her Spanish album release, and the Spanish version of "Come On Over Baby" is on this DVD. I should mention that the Spanish music videos are just re-edited versions of the American release with all the shots replaced where Christina sings (where her lips wouldn't match). The dance and beauty shots are for the most part intact.

The DVD is 65 minutes long, with enough pop selections to satisfy the teeny bopper fans and several other great selections not available on the same recording. The Christmas selections are nice, but it's kind of strange to watch them and be transported to December in the middle of June. Overall, this DVD is a must-have and is well worth the price for every Xtina fan!

Summary: Christina Proves she is on top!
Review: There are so many pop princesses out there that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, but the one thing about Christina Aguilera is that she stands alone because of her amazing gift. Her bombastic powereful voice. Performing live her hits and Christmas favorites she proves she is one of the few artists who can sing live and sound incredible. She has so much energy and emotion that it is a thrill to watch her. The most amazing moment comes when she performs Climb Every Mountin backed by a Gospel Choir. A gorgeous rendition that sent chills up and down my spine. Other highlights include I Turn To You, Falsas Esperanzas, and Reflection. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is the duet she performs with Brian McKnight is the only low point as the two seem like they are trying to outsing each other, but they do sound good. All Christina fans should own this and all should watch this to hear one of the most talented artists in the music industry today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Compulsory purchase for fans
Review: This 2nd video of Christina Aguilera is much, much better than her 1st video. It has better production, 4 music videos and of course, actual undubbed concert footage. There is a considerable amount of speaking done by Christina Aguilera here. She talks eloquently on her music before the start of almost every song in the concert (and quite a lot she addresses to the audience!). In fact, I found her demeanour to be mostly that of being earnest and down-to-earth; not much of the coquettish diva attitude surfaced. She seemed like one "mature" musician out of the multitude of teen acts out there. The selection of songs here was very good. Not only are there the usual picks from the albums, Christina Aguilera also performs "At Last", "Climb Every Mountain" and "Al Right Now", all of which are not found on her commercial CD releases. Her voice was in tip-top condition - she hit the high notes especially well in the ballads and there were interesting improvisations to some of her songs (e.g. I Turn To You has a more soulful ending). The duet with Brian McKnight, however, was a bit uncalled for. Brian McKnight sounded like he was imitating Christina Aguilera's vocal style and was overusing his falsetto tones. Interspersed between the concert performances, are short off-stage footages of Christina Aguilera with her mother, the fliming site of "Come On Over" music video, and other miscellaneous stuff, very much similar to what's found on her 1st video.

As a Christina Aguilera fan, I have not regretted a single bit buying this video. It is a MUST-HAVE if you like Christina Aguilera.

Rating: 5 stars
