The celebrity attitude that Christina Aguilera finds most tacky

The years on the road Christina Aguilera guaranteed her a privileged view of show business. The singer is not only proud of the truth she says she brings in her music, but she also has reservations about artists who take advantage of the moment to maintain relevance.

In an interview with Paper Magazine, Aguilera reflected on works released solely with the intention of causing a buzz. For the singer, this is something that gets out of control over time.

Christina he said:

You can make these choices. You can choose the safest and go with the flow, or you can do things that really move people and shake things up. And I don’t do it intentionally, I think it’s tacky to do things intentionally for pop culture, for noise and attention, to stay, quote, ‘relevant’. It takes on a life of its own in a strange way and moves away from art, period.”

For the singer, the secret is to try not to repeat herself and make an impact, but in an “organic” way. She continues:

So you can be a pop artist and genuinely do what you do, and still come up with messages and change things. I’ve never been interested in making the same record over and over again, that’s my worst idea for music. It’s part of our job as musicians to see where music is going and see what’s happening socially. It’s really about connecting and trying to bring people together.”

Christina Aguilera taking risks

Christina Aguilera is proud of never having settled down musically. With 9 albums released to date, she guarantees that she is not afraid to take risks when changing her sound between each of her albums.

In his words:

I think it’s been apparent in my career that I’ve taken risks and been lucky. It’s very easy to go the safe route from the audience’s perspective, so they feel safe. People are comfortable with what they know, and when you change the script with them and change your sound – which I did on purpose on every record – wanting to explore, wanting to experiment and not wanting to stay the same. I didn’t want to be a one-dimensional ballad singer, I didn’t want to be known for one specific thing.”

The artist has tried hard not to be known just for one area. The musical trajectory continues — his most recent album, Aguileracame out in 2022 — but Christina has also invested in her acting career — as in the film Zoe (2018) — and months ago he produced, composed and wrote the lyrics for the musical Burlesquebased on the feature film of the same title, released in 2010.

In Burlesquethe American works alongside names like Steven Antin, Kate Wetherhead, Sia, Diane Warren, Toddrick Hall and Jess Folley. The production is initially shown in Manchester, in the United Kingdom, and then Glasgow, Scotland.
