um.
this is easily the best pop album i've ever heard. i don't know if i'd even call it pop. it's amazing. i used to like her a lot, then moved into rock, but this album is already one of my favorites. she is amazing. my favorite songs are HURT, makes me wanna pray, enter the circus/welcome, UNDERSTAND, without you, still dirrty --- there really isn't a weak song on this album. "back in the day" could have been really corny, but it's amazing.
she should sweep at the grammy's. this is her "songs in a minor" and "come away with me"
ANOM was a good first single btw...so here SHOULD be her single order (if she wants the most commercial success):
ANOM
Understand
Hurt
Slow Down Baby
Mercy on Me // Without You
christina is amazing though. for real. this is why i never had a TON of respect for mariah or whitney. i think their voices were better in their prime, but christina's voice is almost as good, and yet she takes so many more risks. this one paid off. congrats christina.
i don't buy albums anymore, unless it's system of a down, muse, and a few other acts, but i will definitely buy this one. i like my CD collection to reflect quality and diversity and most importantly great music. she's getting my respect for this. i'ma cop her joint.
