Christina Aguilera Back to Basics Live and Down Under Dvd ( 2 Disc Set )

Christina is easily the greatest performer of my generation. She’s inspired more of the newer vocalists and artists than anyone else. She is constantly mentioned as being the main inspiration behind so many new singers. Her stage presence is unmatched and her vocal performances unparalleled. This show was brilliantly planned, choreographed and executed. Actually, this was the highest selling female tour of 2007. I am SO glad she’s back on the road, starting tomorrow in Miami! Get your tickets! Buy this DVD. Watch. Listen. Respect. Legend!

Christina's Back to Basics tour is quite a splendour to watch, it is clear that she has matured in many ways than one. What I love about this young talented woman is that she took the reigns of her career into her own control, others like Britney, although very successful, had their careers controlled from the word go (only now is she having more creative freedom) no wonder she had a break down. Christina however had it with doing what others expected her to do and only after her first album broke away with "Stripped" it shocked us a little but her talent shone through and she never turned back. This extended to her project "Back to Basics" her most mature work. This DVD is spectacular amazing costumes, incredible (and I mean amazing choreography and dancers) and the cherry on the cake, Christina's mind-blowing vocals, man can she let it rip. A Jamie King production, so you know its good, I mean look at Jamie's work with Madonna's "Reinvention, Confessions and Sticky and Sweet tours as well as Ricky Martins "Black and White tour" masterpieces to say the least. I absolutely enjoyed the "Welcome to the Circus" section, a visual masterpiece.The only reason why I did not give this DVD 5 stars is that I felt too many of her classic hits were redone (different versions) e.g Come on over, What a girl wants, the only track that was original was the closing track "Fighter", I love to hear my favourite songs the way they are, although stars like Madonna have done a good job of reinventing past songs, e.g Erotica (Confessions Tour). Apart from that Christina rocks again, oh and did I mention that this woman can sing?

Everybody has certain tastes in music. I am a professional musician (drummer), and drum teacher. Christina, simply said, has a god given talent through a set of vocal pipes that can keep me at the edge of my seat. Her voice is amazing, her audience appeal is stupendous no matter if told to do so by her producer, or her honest appeal of thanks to those of us that support her talent.I love every song, every move, every note in her voice.....this concert is wonderful, and full of her older stuff which (for me), is better than some of her newer stuff. If you have surround sound and a nice couch, you can't go wrong. As a professional musician, it doesn't get much better!

This concert is absolutely amazing - A must have in your collection.

From an older person's perspective (past age 35), this concert is all flash and mumbles, which you may thoroughly like (the Vegas-Madonna glitz); but if you're wanting only to hear Aguilera's beautiful voice, to see her before she married and seemed a bit truer to herself in both message and looks, then opt for the "Stripped" concert a few years earlier. It is there that you'll find more of her singing only with a piano or even solo, directing her message of domestic violence abuse with compassion. In this concert, her voice and singing are glossed over, a brief interlude drowned out by the music and what seems to be poor sound engineering. Where's that beautiful voice, something that emerges in "The Hurt," her one and only venture into a slow song that shows her chops...but then it's right back into the fast paced, bright lights of the show. Was there any feeling in there? You won't find that here, her dancing a bit more forced, her performers still stunning and now outdancing her (maybe it's the full sheep's head of blond hair that she carries). But again, if you want just a Broadway-Vegas performance and don't really care about what she sings or even hearing her sing, then this is the concert for you...all fireworks and flash, but little else.

Ms. Aguilera has been included in Rolling Stone Magazine's List of 100 Greatest Voices of all time. She masterfully proves her worth to be in that list with this concert. She is one of the few remaining popular mainstream artists to possess such a powerful set of raw natural pipes. This DVD is edited well and the production is top notch. She is able to showcase her vocal talent while being able to infuse dancing, extravagant clothing and set design.

I attended the live concert and it was amazing; however this dvd does it no justice. Christina is a wonderful performer who knows how to entertain a crowd. Conversely, the dvd quality is poor and hard to watch. The camera is unable to focus clearly on all of the movements so the images looks somewhat blurry.

Amazing concert. Good footage and obviously it's Christina so shes amazing but this was def one of my favorite tours she did.

This is a really good concert.One or two songs didn't sound the same as they do on cd - for example christina sang a different version to the usual one of "what a girl wants" but this dvd is great value for money and there is no one else out there who can put on a show like this.I've just watched an excellent concert by another great entertainer,Shakira, but this one by Christina Aguilera is way better in terms of its visual impact and quality of singing and it made me realise what a monster performance Christina and her dancers and musicians give here.Great sound and picture quality and plenty of bonus features.

Absolutely AMAZING concert what a voiceso! so! underrated the voice of a generation blows the rest out of the water so good my hands were shaking with the pure strength and vocal ability a born singer what a star don't miss this dvd concert it will blow you away and have you wanting more can't recommend it enough 10 out of 10 without a doubt
