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 Ohh yeah I've waited for some time To get inside the minds Of every legend I've ever wanted to stand beside It's like an endless ride 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 And 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 They gave so much of 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 Ohhh yeah hey... ha
