In a perfect world, we would get all writers and producers to sit and discuss every cut they did with Christina. I love getting know the behind the scenes and the history that involves it.
Beautiful is such a quality record. It's one of those records that when you hear ONCE you know it is already an iconic record. I'm so glad that Linda managed to get Christina to release that FIRST TAKE. I think THAT raw-ness is what makes the song what it is.
And YES @ Linda giving the song to a BEAUTIFUL SINGER
The one that wanted the song first shall remain bitter and seething

Pass that SHADE Miss Perry. I caught that, mama
