Christina Aguilera's 5th and last single from her multi-platinum album, Stripped has been performing amazingly among all genres, despite being a slow-paced ballad. Billboard has marked "The Voice Within" as this week's Hot Shot Debut, as the song beat out the rest of the newcomers.

Aguilera's fourth single, "Can't Hold Us Down" still remains on the Top 40.

Hanson Gets 'Dirrty'

Pop-rock group Hanson recently did a live cover of the classic Aguilera song, "Dirrty." Their rendition is hardly unrecognizable, but it's still enjoyable. Sort of.

Is it for sure gonna be her last single from Stripped?? Cuz I wanted her to release Cruz. lol

[SBTB Geek]

Yeah, I know other people that wanted "Cruz," or "Make Over" as a single. But who knows?, there could be a 6th song released, Stripped, hasn't slowed down, and "The Voice Within" is performing pretty well considering it's the 5th single. It's all in the hands of RCA and BMG.

The Infamous Blender Interview

Here is the interview which has caused quite a furry among the world of entertainment. Her comments on MTV, Britney Spears, Beyonce, and Madonna resulted in lots of resentment towards Aguilera. Spears discussed her disappointment in Aguilera's comments on MTV's TRL by calling Christina, rude, and hinting that her actions are even worse.

The Good, the Bad and the Dirrty
What does it take to become Blender’s Woman of the Year? For Christina Aguilera, a fearless approach to record-making, a good pair of assless chaps and a refreshing eagerness to talk trash: about MTV, Beyoncé and Britney, Britney, Britney. “These people aren’t artists!” she roars. “They’re just…fake.”

By Nick Duerden

Blender, December 2003

Christina Aguilera has a favorite word right now, one she employs with the frequency of an addict: edgy. It pops up in many of her conversations, sometimes with purpose, other times at will. She describes herself, for example, as an “edgy” artist, and she admires the “edgy” acting of Angelina Jolie. The reason she responded to Madonna’s last-minute invitation to appear alongside her and nemesis Britney Spears at MTV’s Video Music Awards back in August, meanwhile, was because it sounded — you guessed it — edgy. It turns out, however, that in the end the performance didn’t quite live up to Aguilera’s high expectations.

“The VMAs were so…so vanilla,” she says. “So safe, so predictable, no edge. Apart from Madonna, Mary J. Blige and myself, I cannot think of another female performer who had her mic switched on. That is very disappointing to me. I agreed to do it in the first place only because Madonna had told me that it was mandatory to sing live.”

Something palpable happens to Aguilera when she talks about Spears. She loses eye contact, focuses on her cuticles and grows visibly uncomfortable, as if wary of saying too much. But her dissatisfaction clearly needs a voice, and she duly gives it one. She suggests that although Spears sang live during rehearsals, when the show went on the air, she was lip-syncing.

“Who knows what happened, exactly,” Aguilera says, sighing. “She was supposed to, but somewhere along the line.…I don’t know. Maybe some money changed hands under the table?…” She trails off awkwardly, then changes tack. “I’d much rather just wash my hands of the whole nonsense, actually. These people aren’t artists, they’re just performers — fake and superficial, like the entire event. I’m very disappointed with MTV. Just look at the way they handled the kiss.”

What she’s referring to, of course, is the kiss. Mid-song, Madonna swapped saliva with both singers, diving into both mouths tongue-first. The following day, however, it was her smacker with Spears that made the front pages. Aguilera’s barely got a mention.

“MTV didn’t even screen my kiss properly — they cut away instead for Justin [Timberlake’s] reaction shot. How predictable — let’s see the ex-boyfriend’s response. Pathetic.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Spears and Aguilera’s lips never came into contact.

“Actually, I was up for kissing Britney,” Aguilera says, “but Britney wasn’t. She was…she seemed very distant, even during rehearsals. Every time I tried to start a conversation with her — well, let’s just say she seemed nervous the whole time. I wanted to reach out to her, because I feel she needs somebody in her life right now to help guide her.”

And Aguilera — the woman who has just spent the summer on a joint tour with Timberlake — is ideal for the job?

“Well, I feel I’ve grown a lot this year, and we did used to be friends once, after all. She seems to me like a lost little girl, someone who desperately needs guidance. But who knows — maybe I’m not the right person to offer it. We’re very different people, aren’t we? In our world, there are different types of entertainers. You have your artists and you have your regular performers. I’m an artist, and, well.…”

As another sentence about Spears goes unfinished, she permits herself a private smile. Later, she will complain about the press insistently keeping the apparent rivalry alive, as if she herself plays no part in it. But she often seems to fan the flames.

Recently, Aguilera has done some modeling, first for her good friend Donatella Versace and now for Skechers, the same brand of sneakers Spears promoted two years ago. Presumably this is a coincidence?

“Absolutely!” she insists. “I don’t do things based on what she does or doesn’t do, you know. And anyway, she did some kind of roller-skating thing for them. I’m not planning on doing any of that kind of nuts.”

Instead, her ad campaign will have, she says firmly, “much more edge to it.”

That's hilarious. Why on earth would they wanna do that song? It has a very different sound than they ususally have.

And she's more "real" than they are? Whatever!
