Xtina is one of my fave artists ever! So, i'll try to show you my top 50 fave songs from her. Hope you like it! (I won't include all of her songs recorded before she was known, like songs on Just Be Free album). I'm gonna make another for Mariah and Britney later. #50 MOTHER (Feat. Bigelf) Not to be confused with Oh Mother, Mother is a John Lennon's song, covered by Xtina for the benefit album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, in 2007. I like the 60s Beatles sound on this song. She did it well covering this song. It looks as if you hear Xtina from 60s! #49 HERE TO STAYOkay, this is a track from the 1st CD of Back To Basics! I like the background beat. So addicting! (Somehow, it reminds me of of Beyonce's Crazy In Love beat). This song was used on her Pepsi commercial in 2006, here we go, the Pepsi commercial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XmmR0tm6dg#48 CAR WASH (Feat.Missy Elliot)This song is actually a cover, originally recorded by Rose Royce, in 1976, and hitting #1 on Hot 100. In 2004, Xtina collaborated with hot rapper at that time, Missy Elliot, to re-make this song as the soundtrack of the animation movie, Shark Tale. This collaboration is so hot!!! Fun song. I like Xtina's high voice and of course combined with Missy's raps! #47 COME ON OVER BABY (ALL I WANT IS YOU)Ven Conmigo (Spanish version): www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwzouZtxF2AThis song is taken from her debut album, and released as the 4th single, becoming her 3rd and final solo #1 on Hot 100. I much prefer the new single version than the album version. (Xtina re-recorded a new version for the single cos she thought the album version sounded too dated at that time). This song is so cheesy as hell, but still a cute track. Sounds dated though, sooo 2000. #46 BIONICThe opening track from her 4th studio album, Bionic. I love the futuristic electro sound on this song. Easily, one of the highlights on the Bionic album. And one of a few eletcro songs on Bionic that i can really listen in full. This song should've been released as a single, could be huge!

Her first album's singles were very iconic. What a Girl Wants, Come On Over & I Turn to You. Genie I mever liked. They were all good, real good, till this very own day.

#40 I AM (STRIPPED)A very slow ballad on Bionic, at first i used to think this one was just too boring and mad0e me sleepy But i've tried to appreciate it more! This song is too depressing though. I prefer the Stripped version. #39 SOARSo, one of the best tracks from Stripped. I like the choir! And this is the first track on Stripped to appear on my countdown! #38 WITHOUT YOUOne of my fave from Back To Basics. It's not a Mariah cover! I love the R&B vibe in this song. Probably one of her most R&B tracks. #37 STILL DIRRTYAnother favorite from Back To Basics. I really like the intro at the beginning!!! This is like a response to her own famous hit, Dirrty from Stripped. #36 CASTLE WALLS (With T.I.)A hot collaboration! I like Xtina's parts although i wished T.I.'s parts were shorter and more limited. Too bad it wasn't properly released as a single :( It could be huge!

#35 CRUZCruz is one of my fave non single tracks from Stripped, i think it's potential and could've been released as a single. #34 INFATUATIONThis song should've been released as a single from Stripped! I really like the Latin-vibe. This song was a moderate airplay hit in my country back in 2002 without even official release! #33 TELL ME (With P.Diddy)Easily, her best duet with a rapper! The beat is so strong! I like both Diddy's and Xtina's part! Love this! This should've been a bigger hit!!! #32 OH MOTHEROne of her deepest songs, this one is a fan favorite. It should've been released as a proper single! However, I like it but not love it. #31 NASTY NAUGHTY BOYOne of the best songs from the 2nd CD of Back To Basics! Back To Basics 2nd Cd is really EPIC!!! Always makes me relax!!!

#30 LADY MARMALADE (With Mya, P!nk and Lil' Kim)A flawless collaboration!!! I used to be obsessed with this song when i was a child! Xtina's part is so strong and just amazing! Xtina looked like a drag queen though in the music video. #29 KEEPS GETTING BETTERXtina for the first time tried some futuristic electropop sound, a genre which started to be popular in late 2008. I think this song is underrated. Just because she was compared to Gaga! So what? It's still a great song and just not like any of Gaga's songs ??? #28 STRONGER THAN EVEROne of the best songs from Bionic. The ballads on Bionic are so strong! #27 GENIE IN A BOTTLEThe lead single from her debut album, it's so cheesy. But it's a true classic. I prefer the original version. Her re-make version in 2008 is just not my taste. #26 CANDYMANLove the oldies vibe!!! Probably one of her signature hits. This song is already classic imo. And the music video is so cute! My favorite from her!!!!! With World War theme and we have triplet Xtina!

#25 DIRRTY (Feat. Redman)One of her signature hits! After this, we knew her as Xtina! The songs is great but i don't really love it. Her vocal is so strong though. The music video was so controversial back in 2002! So shocking! :o It gave Xtina huge negative press! Shockingly, the single became her first flopping hit in US despite being a worldwide hit! Luckily she could make it with the next single. #24 BEAUTIFULXtina's biggest hit, and of course her most famous signature hit. It's an amazing ballad with a very great message! Greta anthem!!! The music video is also amazing. However, i think it's a bit overrated generally, cos imo she has some better ballads. But it's still one of her best ballads. #23 FIGHTERAnother Xtina's signature hit. This song is very strong, both vocally and musically. Xtina's voice really suits pop/rock sound! However i think it's a bit oversung. The songs is also a bit overrated imo. #22 UNDERSTANDOne of my faves from Back To Basic 1st CD. At first i though it was weird, but now, i really like it! I like the mature female voice on the verse, realy suits the song. Not sure whether it's Xtina's vocal (with sound effect) or not. #21 I WILL BEThe b-side from Dirrty single. Imo, it's one of her best ballads! I guess not many people knew this song. Very strong vocal!!!

#20 THE RIGHT MANOne of the best on the 2nd CD of Back To Basics! Great song, great lyrics, great vocal, great production!!! #19 NOBODY WANTS TO BE LONELY (With Ricky Martin)Very great duet! It reminds me of my childhood! Perfect combination between Ricky Martin's deep vocal and Xtina's high vocal! It should've been a bigger hit! I like Xtina's look and hair in the music video! So hot!!! #18 PERO MI ACUERDO DE TIMy fave Spanish song from her! The best part in this song is the whistle notes almost at the end of this song! So beautiful! One of her highest whistle notes! ;)

#17 AIN'T NO OTHER MANThe lead single of Back To Basics. Shocking she went with this sound. I remember when she debuted the song at MTV Movie Awards 2006, wow so classy! One of her best uptempo songs! The beat is soooo strong! #16 ALL I NEEDOne of the best songs from Bionic, and of course, one of her best recent ballads! My 2nd favorite non-single from Bionic. #15 MERCY ON METhis song is just flawless, showing ho high and powerful Xtina's belting notes! Just unbelievable vocal.

#14 WALK AWAYA great ballad from Stripped. Very great production. I used to think that the song was so boring but now, i appreciate it more! One of the best from Stripped! The melody is so depressing though. #13 YOU LOST METhis song is so underrated :( It became her biggest flop single in her career! How come? She was just unlucky, releasing this during her low career. Her vocal is perfect. This song is relaxing, accompanied with a beautiful video. My 2nd favorite ballad from Bionic. #12 I GOT TROUBLEJust pure heaven! Love the oldies vibe. One of the best songs from Back To Basics! IA very great production cos the song is like straight from 1920-30s!

#11 IMPOSSIBLE (Feat. Alicia Keys)A great collaboration. I like the jazzy vibe in this song. I wish Alicia's part was more prominent though. #10 SAVE ME FROM MYSELFwww.4shared.com/audio/dZxkOTwz/Save_Me_From_Myself.htmlAn acoustic song! I like it! Sweet and soft vocal, no screaming high note. I want her to do more songs like this! Perfect! #9 HURTA truly amazing ballad! Her vocal is just haunting! So strong! My 2nd favorite song from Back To Basics!!!

#8 LIFT ME UPMy 2nd fave song on Bionic and my fave non-single of her ever! Her vocal is perfect, no screaming just great vocal! I already fell in love wit the song when she performed it for the first time in Haiti charity concert. It should've been released as a single during Bionic era! #7 SLOW DOWN BABYThis is my fave song on Back To Basics! So catchy! So fun! I really like the beat, soo strong! The music background! So oldies! ;) #6 CAN'T HOLD US DOWN (Feat. Lil' Kim)My fave collaboration from her! Her first ever urban single. so cool! I love the urban/hip hop vibe! Lil' Kim is perfect partner for her. And her outfit in the music video is so hot!

#5 WHAT A GIRL WANTSHer 2nd single from her debut, i think it's a bit underrated and a forgettable hit from her. I really like the new single version, with new beat and some improvisations, especially the bridge and the high notes.

#4 REFLECTIONThis was basically her debut solo single, released 1 year before Genie In A Bottle although she wasn't popular yet with this song. It was the main theme song of Animation movie, Mulan. My 3rd fave ballad from her. A classic already! Her vocal looks so mature and she was only 17 at that time she recorded this song!

#3 NOT MYSELF TONIGHTThis song is extremely underrated!!! It's her best uptempo imo! The drum beat at the end is fire. Her vocal is strong! I wish the song was longer though. I don't get how come it flopped. The music video was bad though, too risky and too much Madonna influence. And Gaga comparison made it worse. However, NMT will always be my jam!

#2 I TURN TO YOUMy 2nd fave song from her! A truly amazing cover! I even didn't know it was a cover until a few years ago! Her vocal is perfect. This song should've been a bigger hit and recognized more! I remember, it was the song which made a fan of her! I like her blue eyes in the music video! So beautiful!

#1 THE VOICE WITHINMy fave song from her ever! One of the best ballads ever written and recorded! Her vocal is flawless and haunting. The music video is also simply amazing! Too bad, this song will always be overshadowed by her other more popular ballad, Beautiful. :( It deserves to get its own recognition and become a much bigger hit!
