Yeah, I agree. The songs are the most important thing because while the talent does need to be there, the songs are what people remember. Christina Aguilera should be in top tier but yeah the lack of great material has placed her lost in the shuffle. Because in my opinion, Christina vocally ain't got much competition right now. Rihanna, Beyonce, Katy Perry or Gaga ain't seeing her vocally, not in a million years Christina just needs some great material to work with because that's all she's missing. I think it'd be tight if she dropped a gospel album along with a new album filled with some great songs. Christina voice is soul and rooted in R&B, she needs to just do a true R&B album because that's where she's at vocally. Monica is another one. She got that voice too! She just needs some great material. But vocally, Monica still sounds great.
