I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but Change is still an awesome song. They dropped the ball with that one. I really love Change and would have been so happy if there was an album full of them. |

Might be “Reflection 2.0,” but certainly won’t complain if it’s a new single.

I highly doubt it's music related, but would be pleasantly shocked if it was. The choice of photos makes me thing makeup line or something.

That thread title got me way too excited. Thing is, I've been a Christina fan long enough to know better. Now I'm gearing up for disappointment.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Cool. Just like that, the excitement of a new single is gone...

Yeah... I'll wait to hear it from MTV/Xtine/a website that someone has heard of. Good for them if they're right though!

^^^^^ I’m not sure what to make of this yet. Her lower register is so rich but I cannot take the shouting. The straining to get the belts out.....I KNOW she must have blown a speaker or two while recording this. Less is more.

One of the biggest reasons her career has gone down, in my opinion. At some point she's just unpleasant to listen to. Too bad too because she has so much potential. |

I mean she is still pretty good but she needs to work with what she has now. I love when she uses her lower registered and shows some restrain. (Save Me from Myself and Change) |

I know that if I had her voice I would be oversinging just like her. I love the 2020 version of Reflection.

Yeah, I'm extremely pleased with how this turned out. It's classic Christina, which we didn't get a TON of on the last album due to how subdued it was vocally for a good chunk of the tracks. I'm actually surprised Disney gave her that much liberty with the melody.
My only gripe with this recording is that it's painfully clear she recorded it in like, 200 sections and parsed everything together. It sounds a little... unnatural at times and frankly, will be impossible for her to re-create live.
However, it's been a minute since she went OFF on a track. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I live for every riff and run. That last belt at the end gave me chills.

Sorry for the double post, but she is performing "Reflection" and "Loyal Brave True" on Good Morning America on Monday!

Christina singing the song that catapulted her to stardom 22 years ago is nostalgia incarnate. She sounded great then and she still sounds great now.
If Disney took issue with the melismas, it's on them to ask her to do another take. Go off, Xtina. This is your song.

I think she sounds pretty amazing for the whole song. The last 30 seconds or so get a little rough and I’m not sure about that last belted note, but Xtina did her thing and should be proud.
Her voice has definitely recovered a lot from where it was a few years ago.
