Chrsitina Aguilera(首張專輯)?[RCA, 1999]
"Genie in a Bottle" was such a dazzlingly clever piece of teen self-exploration cum sexploitation that it seemed the better part of valor to hope it was a fluke. But this was avoidance--like LeAnn and unlike Britney, Christina already has "adult" grit and phrasing down pat, and so threatens to join Gloria, Mariah, Celine, and LeAnn herself in the endless parade of Diane Warren-fueled divas-by-fiat hitting high notes and signifying less than nothing. "What a Girl Wants" is clever, too, but in a far less ingratiating way--like its two-hour promotional video writ small, it raises the question of how this ruthlessly atypical young careerist can presume to advise girls not cursed with her ambition, and the fear that some of them will make her a role model regardless.

“Genie in a Bottle”(瓶中精靈)是一首無比精妙的青少年探索自我和釋放性感的作品,期待能僥幸逃脫的英勇唱段似乎是最棒的部分。但這其實是一種回避——像 LeAnn (Rimes)的做派,不像Britney (Spears)的做派,Christina Aguilera已擁有“成年人”的勇氣和輕描淡寫的談吐,因此揚言要加入 Gloria、Mariah、Celine 和 LeAnn 之列,在Diane Warren譜寫的沒完沒了的歌曲中天生Diva地狂飆高音,歌聲里滿是空洞?!癢hat A Girl Wants”(少女情懷)也是首精妙的曲子,但遠沒那么討喜——就像“兩小時”冗贅MV的縮影,歌曲拋出了多個問題——這位特立獨行的冷酷青年野心家該怎樣 不帶任何雄渾壯志地勸告女性聽眾,以及擔憂一些失智的狂熱女粉會把她視作榜樣。我永遠都聽不膩左眼(TLC成員Lisa)。C+?
