Christina set the bar really high for herself on her earlier work and she began to get mentioned amongst truly great singers like Celine , Aretha , Patti and Whitney. When you're possess gifts Christina Aguilera's much is expected. Audiences expect work from her that include songs of lyrical depth and integrity. They expect powerful, soaring vocals where every note is nailed perfectly. And then she's known to always come up with one or two truly moving inspirational balads and the bluesy heartbreaker. Oh and her band was devastating, live and in the studio, with a tightass rythm and horn section and kickass arrangements that could go any where from old school r&b, to bigband jazz, to rock or to dance-floor pop without ever missing a beat. It's almost not fair. But we expect a lot from those we consider to be true artists. know that Christina has done all these before and done them very well. I truly hope she can pull it off again.
