Christina Aguilera in "Newsweek"
Some of you may have seen this already but this is news to me.
Twenty-five year old Christina Aguilera sat down with Newsweek reporters to discuss her upcoming album, "Back to Basics", her marriage to Jordan Bratman, her different public personas, her beef with Britney Spears as well as her new Marilyn Monore-like public image.
On her solo self-titled debut: "Trust me, I thought that record was fluffy too," she says now. "It was made for that pop time when there was no real substance behind the music."
On her "Dirrty" image persona: "I was proud of myself for having the balls to do it. And you know what I love about that record? Everybody had an opinion. If you liked it, you wanted to root for me—'Look, she's empowered.' If not, well, you'd stick all those labels on me."
On her new image for "Back to Basics": "The sexuality coming forward on this record is more softened," she says in the July 24 issue of Newsweek. "It's more pin-up, tongue-in-cheek. It's playful. People take sex far too seriously."
On her "beef" with Britney Spears: "We were like best friends, but the media saw a navel and blond hair and had to create some drama," she said. **Preach Christina. The media needs to quit harassing Britney Spears but I'll make another blog about my opinion on Miss Spears at a later time.
