intro back to basics

Christina Aguilera

A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemen
It is now time... the one and only... there never will be another...
Christina Aguilera... That s how music should sound

Oh yeah, I ve waited for some time to get inside the minds of every legend I ever wanted to stand beside
It s like an image, feeling the lows and highs of every lyric and melody, every single rhyme
So here I stand today, in tribute I do pay to those before me who laid it down and paved the way
So to God I pray that he will give me strength to carry forward the gift of song in his good faith, In his good faith...

I m going back to basics to where it all began, I m ready now to face it, I wanna understand
What made the soul singers and the blues figures that inspired a higher generation
The jazz makers and the ground breakers that did so much for themselves and dedication

So here I stand today, in tribute I do pay to those before me who laid it down and paved the way
