"Hurt" showcases Christina Aguilera at her most vulnerable, transparent, and evocative. The pain is evident in her voice as she pleads for the second chance that she--and we--will never have. Her wails and whispers compel us to treasure the current moment and say what needs to be said before it's too late. The backing strings swell and ebb with the flow of emotions, only adding to the cathartic experience of the song. Spectacular and heartfelt, this track reminds us that not only is Christina Aguilera a singer, she is a storyteller. Beautiful and highly recommended.
