Riff: Christina Aguilera – “Let There Be Love”

Nov 13, 2012

Yeah it feels so good that I can’t hold back/Like that, hit the right spot/Make my eyes roll back

from Let There be Love lyrics by Christina Aguilera

When you repeat the same lyrics over and over again you’re asking the listener to step back and follow the beat. When the beat stinks you’re asking the listener to either turn it off or cram a q-tip so far in their ear it comes out the other side – an unoriginal, 90s, carbon copy pop hit.

    Why is there only an idiot like Jeff Min criticizing something he didn’t do, typical thing, and the albumb is out for those people out there who think they can judge on everything

      Hey Roberto. Thanks for commenting. Well, what can I say other than it’s my job. I would understand where you’re coming from if I was doling out blind criticism, but I’m not. Christina has a voice, and a talent, which I’m sure you know, but ultimately her creative direction is pretty askew. This song in particular is a lazy rehash, and as a fan of music, and as a journalist with integrity, I just can’t let her get away with it.
