"Please take the time to read my long review. It took me hours to type. First of all, I add one star because the book is not that bad, although the words are too big, the book too small, and the pics look like they were taken without Chris noticing. The interview CD is quite pathetic. It's this cheesy British woman (oh, and did I mention British accents tick me off?) triing to sound cool. What's seriously pathetic is that if you are as devoted an Christina fan as I am, you already know all the stuff she's uh, retelling for you. What's even more saddening is that they don't even have an actual interview with Christina herself. I'm not sure if they expect you to enjoy hearing some dumb Brit quoting Christina. Now here's the MOST pathetic part- tracks 2 and 4 are all stupid recordings of the Brit saying "I'll say the first line for one of Christina's hits and you say the next line." (For God's sake we're not preschoolers!) And the lyrics she says are not even the correct words!! F/E, Genie In A Bottle, she says (In her slow, dralling British accent (!)) "I'm a genie in a bottle, you've got to rub me ?up? the right way." It only gets worse. Not to mention she is totally off tune. Her uh, words to "Come On Over Baby" really crack me up!! Just listen to this!! "Hey boy don't you know, I've got somethig going on, all my friends are gonna come, gonna party all night long, I know, you know, I just want us to go, the fun we'll have, you'll never be alone, All I want is you, Come over here baby, Now baby don't be shy, you'd better cross the line, I want you to know, you could be the one for me, you've got all I'm looking for, you've got personality, I know I've never felt this way before, so boy don't you come, don't you come and open the door"!! HOW PATHETIC!! Any well meaning Christina fan will realise the serious crime commited. Here's the saddest-the CD-ROM was defective!! Can you believe. After going through the previous trauma, I at least thought the CD-Rom would provide some relief. Well, well. I didn't even work! I wont even consider triing to get a new one. All I'm doing right now is getting a refund for this trash. Christina would be horified. And so will you. Don't waste your time, breath and money on this. I cant believe they acctually PAID this Brit to do this. My Lord. Dose Christina even get paid for this? Afterall it is unofficial. She would probebly have a stroke if she heard this. This is truely sad. Don't buy this. For God's sake."
Not The Best

"I got this cd as one of my Xmas presents which were mostly WWF, Pamela Anderson & Xtina stuff and this wasn't as good as it is described on the back of the pkg. Its a set of 1 cd, 1 cd-rom & 1 book. The cd DOES NOT CONTAIN MUSIC OR INTERVIEWS. It only has a woman with a crummy accent saying things in a non-emotional way. Here is the real track listing: 1. Bio, 2. Sing-along-with the weirdo (not to be confuesd w/karaoke) 3. Answer the weirdos questions although shes not there 4. Another sing-along with the weirdo, I found this cd offensive. I'm not psycho so why would I want it? The cd-rom which contains "games, links & trivia" is no better except for the fact that it has a few pics. The trivia isn't an actual trivia & this has no actual games! The book is very colorful & descriptive as well as the cd-case so get it to get it & for the book I guess."
