Everyone knows about the much talked about kiss at the VMAs between Madonna and Christina. In a January 2004 interview with ZOO magazine, Christina said, “I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it. It would be wrong to hide this side of my personality.” Later on in the interview, she also says, “I have casual sex, I love casual sex.” Read the rest of this entry »
“I may have been the naked-ass girl in the video, but if you look at it carefully, I’m also at the forefront. I’m not just some lame chick in a rap video; I’m in the power position, in complete command of everything around me. To be totally balls-out like that is, for me, the measure of a true artist.”
Is she though? I wonder how many other viewers see Christina in a power position in her “Dirrty” video.

In an article posted on POPSUGAR, Christina comments on being a strong woman in a man’s world: “I’m extra sensitive and have my dukes up because I witnessed a lot of shit in my household with my father and mother, and I wanted to make sure that I was never going to feel powerless or helpless to a man. That’s why I think I do have this overconfidence with my sexuality because I feel empowered by it, and I love being in control of every facet of what I do.”
The most obvious thing about Christina Aguilera is that she’s very comfortable with her sexuality. Though her sexuality has also been her biggest mark of controversy, she remains consistent in how she feels about her sexuality. She’s confident. She’s in control of herself. But is her sexual confidence really working to empower her as she claims?
By putting herself out there, is she really gaining power? Though I am happy that she feels just that confident with herself, I often wonder how much of her sexual openness can give her empowerment. Or is her sexuality too much? Is there a certain line that she crosses (or has crossed) that takes away her control and hands it over to the spectators?

Christina Aguilera became famous with her first debut single, “Genie in a Bottle,” in 1999. Back then she was a seemingly innocent eighteen year old girl with blonde, blonde hair whose most revealing clothes only showed her belly. But with the release of her second album, “Stripped,” Christina looked like a completely different woman. The “Genie in a Bottle” girl did not like being marketed as a bubblegum artist and so she insisted on showing off a sexier side that was truer to her personality. And she definitely put her new image out there in her raunchy video, “Dirrty.”
