Christina Aguilera

I'm a big Christina Aguilera fan and was suprised and pleased to find a few circus themed songs on her new retro CD, Back To Basics.

Enter The Circus [Lyrics]
This one isn't really a song but spoken word pitch by a showman (not Christina, unless she's good with voices) talking a crowd into coming to see a show. An organ, strings and very creepy choir complete this number.

Welcome [Lyrics]
This is a fantastic song where Christina shows her range but otherwise doesn't go over the top, with a full orchestra backing her up. The lyrics start with "Welcome to the greatest show, the greatest show on earth you've ever seen before"- sounds like the circus to me!

Hurt [Lyrics] [YouTube] [Music Video Images]
'Hurt' isn't a circus song exactly but in the music video Christina plays the role of a circus performer, so I think of the circus whenever I hear this song.
