Christina Aguilera's is a mirror that shows where the teen-pop diva's going (toward grown-up diva-dom as an R&B star) and where she's been (showcasing her navel on a dance-infused tour). Aguilera's first concert video, a repackaging of a slick special that aired on ABC-TV in 2000, shows what this "girl" really wants is to move beyond the bouncy R&B-flavored pop she's known for. Her cheeky hits ("Genie in a Bottle," "Come On Over, Baby," "What a Girl Wants") are followed by songs from , her Spanish-language album, and , her holiday release. She has sweet duets with R&B legend Dr. John on "Merry Christmas, Baby" and balladeer Brian McKnight on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and shares the stage with rapper Lil' Bow Wow (weird, but it works) on "So Emotional" and "Christmas Time." (Quick behind-the-scenes interviews from MTV's punctuate the concert.) Despite her inability to resist over-the-top vocal histrionics, Aguilera's range is impressive, whether she's performing a spirited rendition of Free's 1970 hit "All Right Now" or belting out Etta James's 1961 classic "At Last," after giving the blues singer a heartfelt tribute.
Teen pop sensation Christina Aguilera hit the big-time in 1999 with her self-titled debut album. In December of 2000, ABC aired Christina Aguilera: My Reflection, a presentation packed with live performances and special guest appearances. Now available on DVD, the program takes an exclusive look at the young pop songstress on the road, backstage, and at home. Lil Bow Wow and Brian McKnight join in the fun as Aguilera performs featured singles "What a Girl Wants" and "Genie in a Bottle." ~ Dennis Proctor, Rovi
