And the other is that she knows exactly, absolutely what she wants.”Ĭhristina Aguilera Makes First Appearance on Hot Country Songs Chart “There’s two things you need to know about Christina Aguilera,” says Polow Da Don, whose credits on the album include “Not Myself Tonight” and an especially spirited number called “I Hate Boys.” “The first is that, as far as her singing goes, she’s a professionally trained animal. She grows as an artist every time, and this one is just another indication of that.” And she has the courage to sit there and say, ‘What’s good for the longtime brand? What’s going to work in the live show?’ She doesn’t play the game of trying to create a record of what someone might expect. “Every time she breaks new ground and does amazing stuff. “For me this album is simply a continuation of Christina’s genius,” says Aguilera’s manager, Live Nation Entertainment chairman Irving Azoff. There’s no doubting that change: From an early stint on The All New Mickey Mouse Club (alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake) to the boy-crazy bubble gum of “Genie in a Bottle” to the supremely raunchy “Dirrty” to the Andrews Sisters homage “Candyman,” Aguilera’s career has been a study in contrast. I’ve never felt more confident, more secure, more sexy in my life than I do now.” “I’ve grown and changed, and I’ve learned so much. (After marrying Jordan Bratman nearly five years ago, Aguilera gave birth to the couple’s first son, Max, in 2008.) “ Bionic to me is the definition of the superhuman abilities we as women have in everyday life,” she says, adding that the outré spirit of much of the music is a reaction to “feeling stifled” by the supposed exclusivity of any of those roles. Rather than reflecting a desire to keep up with her successors, the singer says the new album is an expression of her femininity in all its forms: wife, mother, singer, actress.

“To anyone who wants to be negative, it’s like, ‘I’m obviously relevant enough to you for you to care and to talk and to evoke negative feelings inside of you.'” “I’m in it for the long haul, and a decade later in my career, I have nothing to prove,” Aguilera says.
