Mi Reflejo is Christina Aguilera's First Latin album which is packed full of hits! I decided to get this album as I've already got the other two and thought it would be fun to get an album in a different language.
And it is! This album has many different tracks that I would like to hear in English, as they are very good. This album also has all her hits, "Genie in a Bottle" now named "Genie Atrapado" which opens the album nicely. 8/10
The next track, Falsas Experanzas, is a great new track with a great Spanish feel with a brill chorus with harmonies and maracas and trumpets, a truly great dance track. 10/10
The next track is called El Beso Del Final is a nice softer song which adds a contrast and a Spanish acoustic guitar accompanies this song and is a very emotional filled song with good singing from Christina and also has harmonies which would be a great duet. 8.5/10
Pero Mi Acuerdo De Ti is the next track and is my favourite song! I just love this song and although in a different language, you will eventually pick up the lyrics. A very soft song with guitar again. This song shows Christina's vocal range well and great love song if ever I heard one! 10/10
Ven conmigo (Solemente Tu) is the Spanish/Latin version of her hit Come One Over and strangely enough I prefer this version! 8/10
Si No Te Hubiera Conocido, is another nice ballad which is very relaxing and is also sung as a duet (male/female) and is a great love song 8/10
Contigo En La Distancia, another romantic song sounds reminiscent of the beginnings of When I Fall In Love. Christina sings well at the end with true emotion. 7/10
Cuando No Es Contigo has a soft beat with a bit of high hat added in the background and is truly spicy maraca song. When the backing singers join in, it adds more volume and makes it sound fuller. 8/10
Por Sempre Tu, is I Turn To You, Christina's great ballad which also sounds great in a better language. 9/10
Una Mujer, What a girl wants is also better in Spanish in my view although the language is different, the expression and emotion is better. 8.5/10
The last song, Mi Reflejo meaning Reflection, is also on Christina's debut English album and is taken from Disney's Mulan soundtrack. This is the best Spanish version of one of Christina's Hits in my view full of emotion. 9.5/10
This album has a mood for every occasion and I'd really recommend it! It is only currently only available as an Import which means its a bit more expensive (try Amazon.co.uk), but its worth the money. The lyrics although a different language are easy enough to learn but you can get the lyrics off the net if you are really stuck.
Have fun listening to this inspirational album. Is there nothing Christina can't do? I think not!
Forgot to mention, this also includes an enhanced CD extra! Which is always a bonus!
PS Look out for the other two ops on her remaining albums!

Essential Review ofMi Reflejo [ECD] - Christina Aguileraby
imageleeno
Advantages: All the usual: good songs, etc. Disadvantages: None
...past this bolony.
11. Mi Reflejo
The title track and perhaps the best song. It is happy and sad simultaneously, it is pensive, celebratory yet melancholy. It is a "got there in the end" kind of song and Christina's voice is at it's very best here. A perfect ending for this CD, unique and high quality. ...

Advantages: A new language, still beautiful music. Collective and fun Disadvantages: Only 11 tracks.
If a song was sung in English, then sung in spanish, it seems to change its emotion from pop to touching the heart.
My favourite track named "Contigo En La Distancia" To with you in the Distance, is my favourite ballad. If your a fan of her music and her lifestyle then you need to grab hold of this album to. With a few songs from her self titled album, you'll learn to pick up on words, like I did.
A few songs with different artists, makes it lovely ... ...of all songs.
I have so much to write about this album, but once you hear it then you'll be fixated just like me. Being a fan anyone, we have to be non-biased, but here its hard to find the bad points.
Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti is another great song.
To start we have Genio Atrapado, which you can guess what the songs called. Its a new rendision.
The album is her Reflection to her self titled album, but with a few more original songs added!
Listen ...

Additional notes
Album Notes: This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. MI REFLEJO contains 4 songs from Christina Aguilera's eponymous debut and 1 song from the MULAN soundtrack presented in Spanish, as well as 6 new Spanish songs. Personnel includes: Christina Aguilera (vocals); Luis Fonsi (vocals); Tony Concepcion (trumpet); Paul Rein (keyboards, drums, programming); Rudy Perez (keyboards); Julio Hernandez (bass); Johan Aberg (drums, programming); Wendy Pedersen (background vocals). MI REFLEJO was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. MI REFLEJO won the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album. "Pero Me Acuerdo De Ti" was nominated for the 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Record Of The Year. MI REFLEJO won the 2001 Billboard Latin Music Award for Female Pop Album of the Year and for Pop Album of the Year by a New Artist. Ever since the mainstream acceptance of Latin pop in the late '90s, it's become fairly common for artists who first came to prominence singing in Spanish to put out English-language albums, but MI REFLEJO is one of the few examples of the opposite process. Teen pop goddess Christina Aguilera, who comes from Ecuadorian stock, uses this album as an opportunity to pay homage to her roots. Sure, it doesn't hurt that MI REFLEJO will endear her to a whole new audience, but the singer has professed a desire to do something like this that dates back to her pre-icon days. A few of the tunes here are simply versions of her previous hits--including the breakthrough smash "Genie in a Bottle"--with Spanish lyrics. Most of the album, however, features new songs chosen specifically for this project and recorded with a Latin pop approach in mind. Needless to say, Ricky Martin-loving Latin pop enthusiasts will find as much to enjoy here as diehard Aguilera fans.
Album Reviews: Vibe (11/00, p.166) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - "...[She] exquisitely turns out her inner Ecuadorian and transcends her suburban origins with remarkably authentic Latin feeling..."
