Product Description
-------------------
You go, girl! Riding on the coattails of the Latin explosion, teen sensation Christina Aguilera decided to tap into her Ecuadorian roots (on her father's side) and brush up on her Spanish. With her newfound tongue, she translates five tracks of her multiplatinum self-titled debut. "Genie in a Bottle" becomes "Genie Atrapado," "Come On Over" becomes "Ven Conmigo," and her other major hits get code-switched and granted the added value of Spanish guitar and dizzied-up Latin disco beats. Fans, especially those who understand the language, should rush to pick up this album. In the year since Aguilera released her self-titled debut, she's honed her chops and figured out what kind of artist she wants to be: namely, an R&B heavy-hitter, not a pop princess. To prove her staying power and worth, she does serious vocal acrobatics with so much confidence and clarity on Mi Reflejo, you'll forget that five of these songs are old, that all are translated into a language other than her native tongue, and that she's a modest 19 years old. --Heidi Sherman

Mi Reflejo rocks. I am a Spanish student and I listen to music en español all the time. I love this album. Despite the fact that Christina does not know the language, she has managed to record an album that sounds as if she does. Way to go,Christina. This is a great album! I particularly like Ven Conmigo and Me Acuerdo de Ti. ;

Christina really stepped it up from her debut album by making a Spanish album and connecting with her latin roots. Very aesthetic tracks
1. Genio Atrapado (Trapped Genie): Basically, it's Genie In A Bottle with different lyrics. The lyrics from this version of the song are better than the English version.
2. Falsas Esperanzas (False Hopes): Very sexy salsa song. Christina talks about how she doesn't want the man to give her false expectations on love.
3. El Beso Del Final (The Final Kiss): It's an okay song.
4. Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti (But I Remember You): Very lovely ballad.
She talks about how everything in her life is going well until she remembers an old love and how her world comes crumbling down because of it.
5. Ven Conmigo (Solamente Tu) [Come Over Here (Only You)] - The album version of Come On Over (All I Want Is You).
6. Si No Te Hubiera Conocido (If I Hadn't Met You): Another very lovely ballad. She makes a duet with Luis Fonsi and both of them have chemistry in this song.
7. Contigo En La Distancia (With You In The Distance): My favorite ballad! The lyrics are very aesthetic and her vocals are at its best
8. Cuando No Es Contigo (When I'm Not With You): It's an interesting song. The lyrics are sad, but the song is very upbeat. It's still a pretty good song.
9. Por Siempre Tu (Forever You): I Turn To You with different lyrics.
10. Una Mujer (A Woman): What A Girl Wants with better lyrics.
11. Mi Reflejo (My Reflection): Reflection with better lyrics
Overall, the album has more aesthetic lyrics than Christina's debut album and songs are amazing. ;

Christina Aguilera's Mi Reflejo is Christina's debut as a Spanish singer, and being a big Christina fan I was super excited when this CD was released, and I instantly brought it. I was not disappointed! Christina sings each song beautifully, and it even sounds like she even knows Spanish fluently. Most of the songs on this CD are ballads, and it includes Spanish re-makes of: "Genie in a Bottle", "Come On Over", "I Turn To You", "What A Girl Wants", and "Refections". This CD is enhanced and includes 2 music videos. This is one Christina's greatest achievements, and deserves all the good reviews it can get.;
