Review

Since Christina Aguilera is the third and last of the New Mickey Mouse Club alumni to hit the charts in the mid-'90s -- following two members of 'N Sync and Britney Spears -- it's easy for cynical observers to assume that she was the lesser of the three talents since she arrived last after everyone scaled the charts. That's not the case at all. If anything, Aguilera is the best of the three, blessed with a rich voice that's given the material it deserves. Her eponymous debut remains firmly within the teen-oriented dance-pop genre, but unlike Spears' album, this is done right. The songwriting is strong -- the ballads are engaging, the dance numbers are catchy -- the production is clean and uncluttered, letting Aguilera's voice take the foreground. Most impressively, she not only has charisma, she can actually sing, bringing conviction to these love and heartbreak songs. So, Christina Aguilera may be lightweight, but it's lightweight in the best possible sense -- breezy, fun, engaging, and enjoyable on each repeated listen. Out of the deluge of teen-pop albums in 1999, this feels like the best of the lot. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Christina Aguilera is the self-titled debut album by American pop singer Christina Aguilera. Released on August 24, 1999 (see 1999 in music) in the U.S. by RCA, the album became a worldwide commercial success, making Aguilera a worldwide star overnight with her breakthrough hit single "Genie in a Bottle", as well as the later singles "What a Girl Wants", "I Turn to You", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". Genie in a Bottle peaked at number one on Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the most successful airplay-only singles in history. "Genie in a Bottle" stayed number one for five weeks due to strong airplay and Physical CD sales, leading Aguilera's debut record to worldwide success. Aguilera garnered three number ones in the U.S. and three Top 10 hits in the U.K. It also featured the song she recorded a year earlier for the Mulan soundtrack, "Reflection". Her debut album helped her receive three Grammy nominations, two of which were for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance: "Genie in a Bottle" in 2000 which she lost to Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" and "What a Girl Wants" in 2001 which she lost to Macy Gray's "I Try".[5] This album also led to a nomination for Best New Artist in 2000, which she won by beating Britney Spears, Macy Gray, Kid Rock, and Susan Tedeschi.

Contents

Production

In early 1998, after finishing some demos and shopping for a record deal, Christina auditioned to sing 'Reflection' for Disney's animated film 'Mulan.' The filmmakers needed someone 'who could hit a high E above middle C,' according to Christina, who then cut a one-take demo in her living room singing to a karaoke tape of Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Run To You.' The demo was rushed to Disney, and within a day, Christina was in a Los Angeles studio recording 'Reflection.' That same week, RCA Records signed her to a record contract. 'Mulan' premiered in June 1998, and "Reflection", turned into a Top 15 Adult Contemporary single, with Christina performing it live on 'CBS This Morning' and the 'Donnie & Marie Show.' Aguilera began recording her debut album in 1998 with executive producers Ron Fair and Diane Warren.

Music

The album's lyrics focused on primarily on youthful themes, such as love, parties, and joy. Christina Aguilera is foremost a pop and R&B album, with hip-hop inspired songs such as "Obvious" and "Love for All Seasons". The self-entitled album also consisted of Latin inspired tracks, such as the number one hit "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)", in which Aguilera showed off her Ecuadorian roots.

"Genie in a Bottle", the first single and track of the album, became one of the biggest hit of Aguilera's career, reaching number one on Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, becoming Aguilera's first number-one single. The single also peaked at number one in the UK, also becoming her first number-one single in that country. The single earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2000 and helped her win the Best New Artist Grammy that same year. The song's lyrics caused minor controversy at the time, as it was felt by some that Aguilera was too young to be singing such relatively suggestive lyrics, particularly as her music was marketed to young girls. The song was censored in some markets with tamer lyrics, in which Aguilera sings "you gotta treat me the right way" (instead of "you gotta rub me the right way"). The censored version was played in preteen-oriented markets such as Radio Disney. Strong sales led the single to a platinum certification.[6]. "What a Girl Wants", the next released track of the album, became an international success, making it Aguilera's second number one single on Billboard Hot 100 and her second number one on the Worldwide Singles charts. The single also peaked at number three in the UK and at number five in Australia. Often considered one of her signature songs, the single is most known for establishing Aguilera's placement in the music industry. The single earned her five MTV Video Music Awards nominations; Best Female Video, Best New Artist, Best Pop Video, Viewer's Choice, and Best Choreography (Tina Landon), and also a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2001. The third single, "I Turn to You", a pop ballad produced by Guy Roche, peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks, becoming Aguilera's fourth Top 10 hit. The single also peaked at #19 in the UK and #40 in Australia. The fourth single, "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)", became an instant hit in America, reaching number one on Billboard Hot 100. It spent four weeks at the top, from October 8 to November 4, 2000. The video also became Aguilera's most popular video to date, becoming a huge #1 hit on TRL and receiving strong airplay on MTV, VH1, and even Disney and Nickeoldeon. In 2000, a new version of the original album was released with the radio edits of "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". Those versions replaced the original album versions of the songs. As the new version of the song was not on the original album, the album was re-released with the video version of the new version replacing the original version.

Album information

"Obvious", the final track on the album, was one of the original demo tracks that was sent to Ron Fair before Aguilera was signed with her record label, RCA.[7]

The number-one single and the number-one album made her the first new female artist since Britney Spears earlier that year to have both her debut single and debut album reach number one, and because of that, Aguilera was immediately labeled Spears' rival.

In 2000, Aguilera continued to promote her debut album. Her management had announced that she would headline her own U.S. tour after she opened up for TLC back in 1999 In February 2000, she won Best New Artist at the 2000 Grammy Awards, over her fellow nominees including Britney Spears and Macy Gray. The Grammy win, and the continuing success of her number one hit "What a Girl Wants", propelled her album back into the top five on the Billboard Top 200 Album Charts, and by the end of February 2000, Aguilera's debut album had already gone six times platinum.[8] It is listed as one of the Rock And Roll Hall Fames 200 definitive albums.

Reception

Critical

The self-entitled debut album of Christina Aguilera received mixed reviews. Allmusic gave it 4 out of 5 stars, saying " The songwriting is strong — the ballads are engaging, the dance numbers are catchy — the production is clean and uncluttered, letting Aguilera's voice take the foreground. Most impressively, she not only has charisma, she can actually sing, bringing conviction to these love and heartbreak songs." Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B-, saying "A frustratingly erratic album -- She's Tiffany! She's Whitney! -- Christina still makes a credible bid to be the late-summer soundtrack to romantic rebound". Amazon, based on reviews, gave Christina a 4.5 out of 5.[9]

Commercial

The album surpassed industry expectations when it debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 Album charts thanks to the help of her single "Genie in a Bottle", which had already spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the release of the album. The album sold 252,000 copies the first week of release, beating out big competition by Sean "Puffy" Combs, whose second album Forever was expected to debut at number one. The album proved to have some longevity as it stayed in the top fifteen throughout the 1999 holiday season, even working its way back into the top five thanks to its second single "What a Girl Wants" which had topped the charts by the end of 1999.[10]. By the end of 1999, Aguilera had already become a household name in the United States for various reasons, mostly because of her sexual yet innocent image which the media never grew tired of discussing. The album stayed on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart for 78 weeks, 107 weeks on the U.K. albums charts and 70 weeks on the Canadian Albums Chart. Aguilera's Grammy Award nominations, two back to back number-one singles, magazine gossip, and merchandise released under her name made her the "It girl" as she opened the new millennium with Carson Daly on MTV's New Years Eve Bash.

As the year closed, Aguilera's debut album had already sold eight million copies in the U.S.[11] As well, the album become on of the best selling albums of the year, selling 8.1 million according to Nielsen Soundscan.[12]. In July 2001, the CIAA certified Christina Aguilera six times platinum, for exceeding sales of over 600,000.[13]

The album went to be certified platinum by the IFPI for selling over one million copies in Europe.[14] The album stayed on the U.K. charts for 107 weeks, also peaking at number one. The album reached #21 on the Australian charts, being certified platinum for selling over 70,000 copies.[15]. The album was certified platinum in New Zealand, selling over 15,000 copies.[16].

Singles

  • "Genie in a Bottle was the first single of the album, released on June 22, 1999. It became one of Aguilera's biggest charting singles, getting certified platinum by the RIAA. The song became an overnight hit, making it Aguilera's first number one single. It topped the charts for five weeks straight on Billboard Hot 100 due to strong Physical CD sales and airplay, having the longest stay at number one that year. The single made airplay history, becoming one of the most successful airplay-only singles. It charted within the top five in every country it was released in.
  • "What a Girl Wants was the second single from the album. Released in late 1999, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 15, 2000 for two weeks, becoming Aguilera's second number-one single. In the U.S., it became the first #1 single of the decade of the 2000s. The single also peaked at number three in the UK and at number five in Australia. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 100 Singles Sales charts for two weeks, and peaked at number two on the Hot 100 Airplay; the single's strong sales would later assure it a gold certification. Once again, the song was an all-around huge hit, topping the Top 40 Tracks, Top 40 Mainstream and Rhythmic Top 40 charts. As the new version of the song was not on the original album, the album was re-released with the video version of the new version replacing the original version.
  • ""I Turn to You was the third single released in the summer of 2000. The single peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks, becoming Aguilera's fourth Top 10 hit. The single also peaked at #19 in the UK and #40 in Australia. The music video was directed by Richard C. Allen.
  • ""Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) was the fourth single released, becoming Aguilera's third number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and the RIAA eventually certified the single gold. It spent four weeks at the top, from October 8 to November 4, 2000. It spent twenty-one weeks on the Hot 100, and ranked thirty-eight on the Hot 100's 2000 year-end charts. The Spanish-language version of the single, "Ven Conmigo (Solamente Tú)", sticking to the original arrangement, was also a huge latin music success, becoming Aguilera's first number-one single on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, and reaching #1 as well in Spain. "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" reached the top ten in the UK, Japan and Australia and the top twenty in Canada respectively.

Appearances

Aguilera made many appearances on talk shows in order to promote her self-entitled debut album. Aguilera appeared on shows such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show and TRL. Aguilera also began traveling to New Zealand while What a Girl Wants was topping the charts overseas.

Live Performances

In 1999, Christina Aguilera and her peers Britney Spears and NSYNC performed at the 1999 Teen Choice Awards. Aguilera also attended the 2000 MTV Music Video Awards where she and Fred Durst performed together. Durst walked onstage and performed part of his band's song "Livin' It Up" with Aguilera. After eliciting charged reactions from his fans, Durst stated: "I already told you guys before, I did it all for the nookie, man." The feud died weeks later. Aguilera denied Durst's statement, saying Durst "got no nookie." Later on in 2000, Aguilera performed at the Super Bowl XXXIV as a halftime performer. Aguilera performed her number one single Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) at the 2000 VMA's. While performing, Aguilera was wearing a tight ruby red outfit with black and red streaks in her hair like they previously were in her Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You) video. Aguilera also appeared at the MTV Europe Music Awards 1999.

Tour

The tour was sponsored by the famous American brands of Sears and Levi's. When it was announced, Aguilera was promoting "I Turn to You", third single from her first album; she was concurrently in the phase of production of her upcoming album Mi Reflejo.[17] The first month of the tour and a few other shows was a state fair tour that featured a simpler stage set. At the same time, Aguilera began wearing much more revealing outfits and began putting different colors into her hair, as she transitioned from her teen pop star to a more mature image. The tour had 68 dates in total.
