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
