When anyone says Christina Aguilera, "Genie in a Bottle" is the first song that comes to mind. Just like any hit song, it plays for a while on the radio and eventually gets washed out by the other new music that other artists bring to the entertainment table.
The classics of rock almost always eventually have covers or remakes of their songs by other artists years after its first release, Aguilera followed her own path, remaking "Genie in a Bottle" on her newest album.
The original is 100 time better. The techno and upbeat sounds of "Genie 2.0" is just not good. The idea of having a remake of one of her best hits is creative, but the music needed more work. It sounded like a bad club remix that no one would end up dancing to in the first place.
Her CD is out for purchase now, but hearing this as the first track sort of ruined my want to listen to or buy it.

I saw her in concert (shut up; I know I'm too old to have been there) and she re-did a bunch of her songs. I was not pleased. But wow, girl can SING.
