Christina Tried to do in one decade what artists like Aretha used to do over 30 + years. You have to first establish yourself and musical identity before you
re-invent yourself. Christina ditched her big pop following for stripped and then ditched the strong following from that album for 40's music that
wasn't really cohesive at all, and now she is going another direction.
THe other problem with Christina's carer is, her voice is not at the level where she can sing Anything. It was different when Aretha or Barbra did
different genres because you were amazed how they would interpret that genre and it was a musical experience, but lets face it Christina has a nice pop voice
with what used to be a really good range, that doesn't mean she can sing the phone book.
Oh and not to mention her little venture into Spanish music and Christmas album before doing a sophomore album was a huge mistake and loss of momentum while
britney and others were raking in with albums and tours.
