Christina Aguilera: My Reflection

Despite the narcissistic title and utterly vapid in-between-songs interview/backstage clips, the teen pop diva offers proof positive in this TV-aired Christmas special that she and her New Mickey Mouse Club co-star Britney Spears are not actually the same person only with different navel rings. Younger fans will swoon over the requisite performance of pop hits "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," and "Come on Over, Baby," while newcomers will be surprised at Aguilera's vocal power on the Etta James classic "At Last," Free's "All Right Now," and Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music, as well as a pair of Spanish numbers, "Contigo En La Distancia" and "Falsas Esperanzas." Rounding out the show with a trio of soulfully sung Christmas tunes--"Merry Christmas, Baby" (with Dr. John), "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (with Brian McKnight) and "Christmas Time"--this Dolby Digital 5.1 enhanced concert, which includes a quartet of bonus music videos, is sure to be popular.
