Here it comes, it's the one you've been waiting on. We all have nothing better to do, so how about listening to 150 of the most iconic songs ever produced in the history of the world? Yep, that's right, the Christina Aguilera discography rate is here because Xtina isn't releasing any time soon, so now is my chance! There's a lot of music here to digest, so let's just jump straight into it. I'm not going to write up some big post about her success and sales (and there's a lot to write about), cause if you're here then I think you already know her name. The rules are very simple. 1. Score each and every song between 0-10. One song can receive an 11. I will also quarter scores (9.25, 9.5, 9.75) because lord knows I'll need it to prevent me from handing out only 10s... But I still might, who can ever be sure? 2. No commentary, please. I thank the lord for @RJF & @Laura Vanderbooben making this the new norm because organising commentary is honestly the bane of every rate hoster's experience. Don't deny it! Please save all your commentary for the thread to keep it alive and moving! 3. I will accept commentary for your 11 and your 11 ONLY. Self explanatory. I'd love to see what you have to say about your favourite song in the rate. Why is it your favourite? Is it strategic? Did it define your life to this point? If it didn't, why the fuck didn't? Are you soulless? 4. TROLLING IS NOT PERMITTED If I notice that you are specifically here to trash one specific album then I will ask you to reconsider your scores. I want as many of you guys to enjoy this rate and participate, but if I'm slogging through scores trashing undeserving songs then it won't be enjoyable for me. And if your average is really low for the whole rate I might just question why you're here in the first place. Every song listed here has to be included in your ballot. No optional songs, intros that are listed must be rated too. Not every song is on Spotify/Apple Music and links will be provided for those. Please listen to them all! Christina Aguilera (1999) 1.

Here For This! It couldn't have a more perfect host, and a sidenote - If all you fags don't give this the 10 it deserves, it won't just be Best Fiction coming for your heads
So excited for this rate! There are so many 10-worthy songs, and I'm still not 100% sure where my 11 will go (although there is one song that I had in my mind a while ago). Since I'm familiar with all of the songs, and just need a reminder of sone of the extras, you can expect my scores earlier than usual (i.e. one week before the deadline).
A lot could happen as I revisit her discography for the upteenth time. If the 11 I decided months ago remains, I'm ready to defend it to death against a certain section of this forum. Just wait.
Added the Spotify playlist in the first post. It's missing 12 songs (We're a Miracle, Little Dreamer, Too Beautiful For Words, Dreamy Eyes, I Will Be, That's What Love Can Do, Hello, Falling In Love Again, Casa De Mi Padre, The Real Thing, Shotgun & A Song For You). They're all in the original post with YouTube links. I will also make a YouTube playlist with every song.
Fuck yes. I'm ready to throw 10s to Stripped, Back To Basics, Bionic and Liberation like they're going out of style. Don't think I've listened to Lotus in Full since 2013 dddd, now I'm worried my scores for it might be seen as trolling. Your Body and Let There Be Love are a 10 and 9 respectively, though!
Yes Lotus is not in the top 5 of her albums for me either. But for every 2 filler tracks there is one big fave I will fight for!
