Christina showcases her vocal and writing talents in this amazing collection of tracks very well, its too good to be a first album.Popstars, rappers, hip-hoppers, and divas would reach the high standard of this on perhaps there 3rd album at the earliest. Not only is she fantastic at writing great pop and r'n'b songs e.g. play (written for christina, then given to lopez) and the infectious am to pm, she is also a great ballad writer with tracks such as thankyou and until I get over you giving the album an emotional touch. Get this, shes only 19!

Although most of the popier songs on the album take the same format as am to pm e.g. got to have you (one of the best on the album) and your last call, there all different, and a joy to listen to!There are no tracks to avoid, perfect is on the verge of a filler, but is saved by the sudden turn of flavour in drum beats. low down:

1)am to pm- great r'n'b/pop song. Her first representitive song to the album. There are possibly better songs on the album, but every track could have a chart success.

2)you make me laugh - a fantastic powerful r'n'b song, It stands out and is a great second track.

3)Twitch - really good, slightly threatining song. has a TLC feel: could be compared to there album track silly ho, but the base isnt as pumped.

4)It hurts when - ballad! -gets lost in all the pop songs, but a very good effort, more of an r'n'b ballad, gets boring if you listen to it over and over again -but this is probably because the other few ballads are quite a bit better!

5)When you look at me - A great pop song that makes you want to get up and dance, the words are a bit wierd ; I could be your cook or your lover!?

6)A girl like me - has a we need a resolution (aliyah RIP) feel, xactly the same beat -written by JD - a chilled track - unfortunatly placed behind one of the best songs on the album -But a great change of pace from all of the upbeat songs before!

7)Satifaction Guaranteed - yet another change of pace. I dont like this song! -I would like it if it where on an artful dodger album, but this is the only garage song on the album - and it doesnt suite the slick style of the previous tracks and tracks to come! -it would probably do very well in the U.K charts though!

8)Until I get over you - a very powerful ballad: the best on the album, and one of the best songs aswell!no drums just voice and orchestral extras! -fantastic chrorus line: The sun wont shine since you went away, seems like the rain is fallin every day, Theres just one heart where there once was two, but thats the way its gotta be until i get over you. Its just came on my media player -I find myself singing along to it!

9)Got to have you- one of the 2 contenders for the best song on th album gainst track 8! Great pop song, makes you wanna dance, sing and listen at the same time. really upbeat.- Britney should sway more this way with some of her songs!(although her current album is fantastic;but Im not reviewing britney!)

10)your last call -another great pop song, but a step down from the last track, still a great song. This is yet another song that makes you wanna get down to the beat!

11)Perfect- the album quality here is finally beginning to dip, but not hardly noticibly!- this is an r'n'b song, but to lovey dovey for me!, I kinda hope i finish this review before it comes on!

12)Thankyou - a saving grace: the last track and the last ballad, not nessacerilly the best track to end a mainly pop/ r'n'b album with, but a great song. takes true ballad fashion in instruments words and drum beat!

The songs im hopin shell release are Got to have you, when you look at me, you make me laugh, maybe twitch or your last call: These songs and ofcourse the garage alternative satisfaction Guaranteed will deffinitly do very well in the UK charts! Overall a fantastic album!

I waited a while for this one. I liked the way "AM to PM" sounded and this girl looks,acts, and sounds like a diva. HOWEVER, I really really don't like the songs with her featuring rappers. This CD is way more urban than I thought. I'd have prefered some spanish songs or remixes - especially since she's Cuban. On to the review: I really like "when you look at me". "Twitch" sounds like it could be Mya.

"Until I get Over You" is really pretty, but sad. It will make you cry. "Thank you" is beautiful also. Very pop, not R&B. "You Make Me Laugh" sounds good, is catchy.

I guess I just hate "Get Away", "Spending Time", and "A Girl Like Me".

But, she's a great singer. Way better than Beyonce who's winning the awards this year!
