This is exactly what I was looking for

"I waited a long time for a "best of" Christina Aguilera, and now there is finally one available with this CD/DVD set. I'm not a die hard fan, but I like several of her songs and admire her vocals. I didn't like her enough to buy any of her regular albums but always thought if she released a greatest hits I'd check it out. All the familiar radio hits are here. The DVD of her popular MTV videos is a nice bonus, but I won't really watch it much I'll listen to the CD. I was disappointed to discover after I got mine that there are other versions of this release with more tracks. My CD only has 14 tracks, others have 16 or 17. A Decade of Hits also only covers three albums, which is interesting. It used to be bands would put out 10 albums in a decade, now Christina can get away with only three. If you want to get her hit songs without buying all the CDs, this is a good disc. It suits my Christina Aguilera needs perfectly."

All the Christina we need

"I held off on buying this for a loooooonnnnng time. But then Target was selling it for $4.99, so who could pass that up for a new cd? Worth every penny.

I'm not a huge Christina fan. some of her vocal gymnastics are annoying, all technique and no feeling. And her attempts at melissma are excruciating. She ain't no Aretha (but then who is?).

Still this is all the good stuff... well except for two dreadful ballads "I Turn to You" and "Hurt"(hence the four stars). As for the remakes of "Genie in a Bottle" and "Beautiful" I am amazed at how radical they are. Beyond lyrics, they have no relation to the original versions and are even better. And even the new songs "Dynamite" and "Keeps Gettin' Better" are exceptional. Linda Perry sems to be the perfect collaborator.



Oh, also, you get one of the worst album covers EVER."
