Christina Aguilera - AGUILERA

[The Art Installation]

What a great read and what a truly legendary album!

FAIR: ‘Beautiful’ comes out, immediately becomes a gigantic hit and overtakes ‘Dirrty’ on the chart. In the meantime, research came back on ‘Dirrty’ showing that it was a hit and they’d moved off it too early. When I look at the story of Stripped, I think it would have been very different if they had the courage to stick with ‘Dirrty.’ We would have had back-to-back smash hits instead of just ‘Beautiful.’ But RCA was not an edgy company and the people working there were not moving culture forward. They were putting records out.

Kind of sad that nothing has changed!

I remember Dirrty premiering and feeling noisy and messy but one look at the video once it dropped made everything fall into place. Top Bops Of All Time forever.

Ron Fair's comments on "Dirrty" are completely on-point. The fact that "Dirrty" was such a massive hit internationally should've given RCA a little more faith in its potential on the Billboard Hot 100.

On the other hand, if Dirrty hadn't underperformed in the US we would never have got this:

So what you're saying is nothing of value would be lost.

Easily MadTV’s worst song parody. The funniest bit was “don’t look at that” but then it just is devoid of anything humorous.

Their Destiny’s Child, Mariah, and Shakira parodies though? Great, top quality.

I still can't believe she wasted the anniversary of her biggest album of her career (and one of the best albums of that decade) with one song and a remix.

I just can't.

I just can't.

The nice thing about anniversaries is there'll be more of them. She can't sell the cow with the milk just yet!

Pop icon Christina Aguilera goes through her music video history and reacts to some of her most memorable video looks. From "Lady Marmalade" to "Dirrty" and "Fighter," watch as Christina goes deep on the history of those videos and the clothes that made them so classic.

I don’t think no other album had as profound impact as Stripped did on me when I was shaping who I am as a queer individual at young age. So many accolades and praises have been said already but truly, what a special piece of work. She should be forever proud.

I assume AGUILERA isn't getting a vinyl release then?

Mabuhay from Xtina’s fan group here in the Philippines. We celebrated Stripped’s 20th. (I’m the 3rd from the left)

[BEST FICTION]

Fans have said they were signing approval forms since as far back as the Hollywood Bowl shows, so we’ve known something was in the works. I hope it’s actually very interesting and not super surface level.

AGUILERA has been nominated for Best Latin Pop Album at the Grammys!

I’m manifesting several Latin Grammys and a Grammy for AGUILERA! Christina must be so happy.

 

[LeBratt]

I’m so confused…is the era finished? There’s not another EP coming?
