"Soar" is yet another fucking TV theme song. DIE DIE DIE. Except for the final fifteen seconds.
And I'm with Kate on the cover. Yurgh.

OK, no, I'd probably vomit if I saw Justin posing naked with anything, eeuwwwww. (Bobby G naked with a guitar, however ... hmmmm!) In fact, the only male I can think of that posed naked with a guitar was Prince. Double eeeuuuwwwww. But still... at least Prince is a capable guitarist.
No, I haven't heard the album, and yes, it is sexist to discuss her on the basis of her image rather than talent. But for FUCKS SAKE ... considering that Rolling Stone was on sale, right next to a copy of Total Guitar magazine that had this cover article "Stop Staring At My Tits: Why Don't More Women Play Guitar?"

The arrangements are subservient to Christina's voice because her voice is powerful enough to carry a song, unlike vocal midgets like Britney or Aaliyah.

I always THOUGHT there was a guitar in this photo for some reason:

I hope I'm not implying *that*! Eep! :-/ Not when some like Di can rock the house at full volume. :-)

You know, I'm fully on this as an idea. Bootlegs, anyone?

The LP dips badly in the "Linda Perry section" in the middle. I'm a Perry fan after "Missundaztood", but her songs here are k-rub (although "Make Over" is amusing - is Xtina trying to be Kurt Cobain here?). Sterling is OTM about "I'm OK" - I'm beginning to wonder now if it's Perry, rather than Pink, who has "issues" in re this whole oh-Daddy-why-did-you-beat-up-Mom-in-front-of-me-when-I-was-little thing.
The Alicia track is okay.
