Christina On Britney, Lance and Staying Dirrty

Christina AguileraDon't call Christina Aguilera Xtina anymore. The pop princess tells the latest issue of HX magazine "I thought that was a cute nickname for the last record, but now the character for this record is 'Baby Jane.'"

While Aguilera channeled Xtina when she shed her wholesome teen pop image in 2002, the former Mousketeer isn't getting all Pollyanna on us and proclaims "Sexuality will always be a part of what I do."

As far as the endless comparisons to Britney Spears, Baby Jane says "I knew that eventually our bodies of work would differ. I think she's in a beautiful time in her life right now - she's a mother, and I think it's great."

Christina also revealed she was "shocked" when she heard Lance Bass had come out of the closet - shocked that it was such a big deal. "When I heard of it, I shrugged my shoulders and said, 'Good for him!'"

So now with her more Hollywood glam look has Christina hung up her "Dirrty" leather chaps for good? Don't bet on it. Aguilera jokes "When I'm 50 years old, hopefully I'll still be able to get those suckers on." So do we Christina. So do we.

1. I have not heard the new album, but I read some bad reviews.

2. Christina has grown into a more mature woman and it shows. I know there will be plenty of haters out there, but if you look at the numbers and facts, she is on her way to superstar status. Ive heard mixed reviews about her CD, and Ive never owned one of hers before, but I think I will have to go out and buy this one. Her and Britney started at the same time...look whos coming out on top.

Christina, no matter what your sales show, I think with this album you will shine like the beautiful star you are. Going back to your roots and being yourself is a hard thing to do. Keep it up, girl!

3. Well # 1 You heard wrong! Her album is great ....for anyone who actually has taste in music. I've bought it & have been listening to it ever since. I have one disc in my card & the other at home.

4. Christina's new CD is pretty amazing. The lyrics are very personal and deep."The Right Man" gives me goosebumps every single time I listen to it. Love it.

5. I absolute love Christina, while her Stripped album is my all time favorite, I'll give this new one a chance, after all it's still her voice, her talent, no matter what genre she picked for this current cd.

7. Hope Baby Jane learns from X-tina's mistakes and lays off the radioactive orange over-tan.

8. Christina is really showing she has a classy side to her, which is cool, while Brittney is just revealing a complete trailor trash side. Both of them have completely switched their personalities which can make one wonder ~ what is their "true self"?

9. Christina Aguilera was the ONLY blonde "bombshell" That was actually a singer and I hated after that madonna kiss thing how everyone was trying put Christina behind brittany who can't sing to save her soul.

Christina Aguilera HAS SOUL when she sing and that's why I love her music, and her self confidence she doesnt' come across as shallow and has her head on straight and definitely hasn't played the hollywood game. she's a real artist, big up christina. Don't worry, they put madonna down too and look where she is today.

10. She is very talented, no doubt about that, but I don't get the character bullshit. If you are gonna do something, take credit for it with your own name. Don't pretend to be someone else. Baby Jane?
Example: "Although it's my DNA, I swear it was my character Evil Tony who got her pregnant."
I dunno, too many split personalities going around or something.

11. Oh, I think you're actually channeling Xuxa, Christina. You know, that Brazilian model-turned-soft core porn actress ('Love Strange Love') who successfully seduces a 14-year-old boy. You got the morals of an alley cat. As for Lance... c'mon, girl. You're tellin' us you WERENT suspicious when Lance and Justin (Timberlake) were "practicing their lines" together A LOT on the crappy MMC days? ;-)

13. I WAS NOT a Christina fan until recently. I think she is the most talented singer BY FAR out of all these little pop stars and I like to see someone go out on a limb and get away from the 'club' or 'pop' sounding stuff. Good for you, Christina.
