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
