SIMPLEMENTE INOLVIDABLE!!!
Una Christina puramente latinisima y volviendo a sus mas puras raices latinas... no lo pudo haber hecho mejor; una exquisita pronunciacion del idioma (y eso que no sabe hablar español), baladas tan preciosas como SI NO TE HUBIERA CONOCIDO, POR SIEMPRE TU, PERO ME ACUERDO DE TI, melodias tan movidas como GENIO ATRAPADO, UNA MUJER, VEN CONMIGO, ritmos latinos como FALSAS ESPERANZAS, CUANDO NO ES CONTIGO y para rematar al oyente una version tan angelical de MI REFLEJO, y tenemos uno de los mejores y mas deliciosos discos en español... SIMPLEMENTE INOLVIDABLE.

Ven Conmigo Christina
I am a huge fan of music in Spanish and believe not enough people release a spanish album, it was ages before Jennifer Lopez released one, so I salute Christina for giving it a go. And the results are amazing, there is not one song on this album that i could put down.

My personal highlights is the wonderfully catchy Falsas Esperanzas and the beutiful El Beso De Final (featured in Dirty Dancing 2 : Havana Nights). They represent different aspects of the album. Falsas Esperanzas is infectious, catchy and always makes me want to dance while El Beso is almost tear jerking and so dramatic. Especially if you watch the film and see the scene it is linked to.

I also agree with the other reviews about Genio Atrapado, it is a whole new song in Spanish and i fell in love after growing tired of the english version. And also the remix on the bonus CD release of her first album is amazing.

I hope this is something Christina will do again in the future.

Hola!
I adore spanish music and I've always thought Christina Aguilera is very talented in the vocal area so I thought I would give this a go. I wasn't disapointed.

In terms of Christina's other music, I think it differs greatly. It's not as poppy as her debut, it is mature but is not at all edging on hip-hop like 'Stripped'. I think what is most apparent is the growth in Christina's voice because she seems so much more in control of the different areas of her voice.

There are four songs which are just spanish translations of some of her english songs but most of the music of this album is full of latin instrumentation and rhythms so it has an authentic 'spanish pop' feel. 'Falsas Esperanzas' is a fun song yet really cool because of its musically latin style (love the trumpets). 'El Beso Del Final' also stuck out for me - it is one of the slower songs but has some wonderful touches of spanish guitar. There is also a duet with Luis Fonsi (Si No Te Hubiera Conocido) - not too familiar with him but he has a really nice tone and his voice blends really nicely with Christina's.

I prefer the spanish version of 'Genie in a Bottle' (Genio Atrapado) because lyrically the translation is a lot more mature. The other spanish versions of Christina's english songs are 'What A Girl Wants' (Una Mujer), 'Come On Over' (Ven Conmigo) and Reflection (Mi Reflejo). Una Mujer and Ven Conmigo still sound too bubblegum pop for my liking, it would have been nicer to have two original spanish songs instead; Mi Reflejo sounds amazing though - the growth in Christina's voice is really apparent.

I think this CD is for anyone that appreciates spanish pop music or talented vocalists.

A Beautiful Spanish Painting
This is a refreshing mosaic of Spanish music filled with beautiful songs that are alive with energy and the artistry of Aguilera's voice. There is a subtle sexiness throughout this CD which separates it from the in your face 'here it all is' vibe we get from a lot of the female Latin artists. This is just about the music, and the music is great.

From the exiting "Falsas Esperanzas" with it's horns, to the slower and beautiful title track and the lovely "Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti," we are treated to one elegant and nicely arranged song after another. Aguilera's voice sets her apart from the other pop princesses and this Spanish CD shows a maturity and artistry that we can only hope will cross over into her non Spanish efforts. Christina makes the language sound beautiful and producer Rudy Perez surrounds that wonderful voice with first-rate muscians, leaving no doubt she is a force to be reckoned with.

Mi Reflejo garnered quite a few awards and a lot of acclaim. We can only hope it's success will prompt her to keep using this medium as an artistic outlet. Her own personal taste in music runs more towards Etta James, someone unfamiliar to most of her fans. She really has some musical substance and the voice to make magic happen, which is exactly what she does on this exiting, exquisite, and subtly sexy labor of love that leaves us wanting more. This is really something terrific and you'll want more as well once you hear it.......
