Movie Reviews of Christina Aguilera - My ReflectionMovie Review: A very Xtina Xmas Summary: 5 Stars
Funny how time flies. Seems like it was just yesterday that most of us were freaking about Y2K (I seriously had nightmares after watching The Omega Code!). Now we're already a decade into the New Millenium. Alot has changed in that time so how about a trip down memory lane?
Originally aired as a one hour Christmas special on ABC in late 2000, My Reflection features a concert from then 19 year old pop songstress Christina Aguilera performing a mix of her early hits, nice covers, and a few Christmas songs. A short home movie clip of little Chrissy performing a spirited cover of Whitney Houston's Where Do Broken Hearts Go? at a talent show opens the set followed by a brief intro of the singer explaining why Christmas is one of her favorite times of the year.
The first half of the Mulan single Reflection is followed by enthusiastic renditions of a Middle Eastern flavored Genie in a Bottle, sassy Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You), and R&B tastic What a Girl Wants. Lil' Bow Wow (back when he was really really lil') jumps aboard for a slinky, jazzier sounding So Emotional before Christina takes back the spotlight with an impressive, at times oversung, take of Etta James' 1961 standard At Last and the choir assisted Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music. She also touches on her Latin roots with the smoky ballad Contigo en la Distancia (With You At A Distance) and fiery uptempo Falsas Esperanzas (False Expectations). Christmas tunes like the bluesy Merry Christmas, Baby with the legendary Dr. John, a soulful version of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas with Brian McKnight, and another Bow Wow duet Christmas Time close the set.
Excerpts of Christina's MTV Diary special as well as a short behind the scenes look at the making of the Come On Over Baby music video pepper the concert. Extras include videos of Spanish versions of Genie in a Bottle (Genio Atrapado), I Turn to You (Por Siempre Tu), Come On Over (Ven Conmigo), and the video for The Christmas Song in English.
The nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. Everything from Christina's red streaked blond hair, Bratz doll inspired outfits, and slightly faux "ghettofied" accent (this was the beginning of her Xtina transition) made me chuckle. Some of the choreography and set-ups are cheesy, but this is decade old teen pop we're talkin' about. Pop My Reflection in if you're ever in need of a smile or a good time.
