Christina Christian, "Forever Or Never"

[George Tropicana]

Forever Or Never

This was the Latin-theme song she performed on "American Idol 3" a couple weeks ago. I heard she got a correspondence job on TOTP in the UK right now and she's going to release her album in Europe this summer.

"Forever Or Never" is catchtastic background music! "Forever" and "Never" rhymes well! I like the "uh oh uh oh" which sounds like Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" but better!

Christina Christian was my 2nd favorite contestant from the first AI, after Tamyra. She has a unique voice, similar to Res, and her performance of "Ain't No Sunshine" still stands as the best AI performance ever IMO.

That being said, this song stinks. It's a shame her voice, which would be better suited with another musical genre, is wasted on fluff like this. She's not a pop singer, she would sound much better in an acoustic setting.

I like the uh oh part

I did not watch AI1( I did not join teh Ai craze until last year) but she has the best, most crisp and perfect sounding voice from ANY American Idol constestant I have ever heard. I cant even put it into words but she has a classic sounding voice with not harshness or flat sounds....A very CLEAR and perfect tone. Her voice really amazed me on this song. Her range and style has really sold me on her.

This song is TERRIBLE!

I hate her AI1 performances. I have the MP3's, apart from 'ain't no sunshine' she's probably one of the pitchiest singers in the competition....

I agree that, aside from Ain't No Sunshine (which was mesmerizing), she was a pretty weak singer on AI1-a lot of uncontrolled vibrato that made her sound like a goat (much like Carmen Rasmusen, who like Christina placed sixth in the competition). That being said, she still isn't a particularly strong singer, but she seems to have conquered the vibrato problem and the song itself is probably one of the most radio-friendly songs of any AI alumnus-it has that reggae-lite sound that pop, rhythmic, and urban are all eating up these days.

I heard she's going to be a backstage correspondent for the AI3 finale-I wonder if it's for the AI show itself or the TV Guide channel (she was their AI correspondent for season 2, I believe).

The Latin explosion ended 4 years ago. "uhh"

I don't like it. Never was too much a fan of hers.
