* EpicRocking: "Keep On Singing My Song" isn’t “Walk Away” are almost 6 minutes.

* HotterAndSexier: While her early material was always a little suggestive, ''Stripped'' was this taken to the max, as she was tired of dealing with ContractualPurity.

* LyricalTic: Known for using Wahs and Ooh Ooohs all over her songs.

* HotterAndSexier: While her early material was always a little suggestive, ''Stripped'' was this taken UpToEleven, as she was tired of dealing with ContractualPurity.

** ''Stripped'' is her stripping her facade away and showing all that she can do in music.

* EpicRocking: "Keep On Singing My Song" is extremely long compared to the rest of the tracks on Stripped.

* HotterAndSexier: While her early material was always a little suggestive, ''Stripped'' was this for her - as she was fed up with being portrayed as a squeaky-clean pop princess.

* LyricalTic: Recording Wahs and Ooh Ooohs all over her songs, even her major collaborator (Linda Perry) told her to cut it out on "Beautiful".

%%* EroticEating: "Not Myself Tonight".

** ''AGUILERA'' (2022)

* PantyShot: Used 10 times in the "Dirrty" video. Pretty much inevitable since her main costume in said video is crotchless leather chaps with a bikini underneath.

* LoveIsADrug: Invoked in "Walk Away":
--> ''"I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure."''

* MyGirlIsNotASlut: She points out the DoubleStandard constantly. "The guy gets all the glory the more he can score, and the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore." —"Can't Hold Us Down"

* MisandrySong: "I Hate Boys".

* NewSoundAlbum: She does this every album, but ''Bionic'' and ''Back To Basics'' have the biggest evolution of sound from "'50s inspired jazz pop" to "electronic dance pop from the future".
** Also her debut SelfTitledAlbum and ''Stripped'' both have an R&B/Sexy/Personal edge which unites them together thematically. Bionic and Lotus are both electric pop albums aimed at her haters.

* PrecisionFStrike: In "Not Myself Tonight".

Soon after, she started embracing a neo-{{Burlesque}} persona, by which time she [[GrowingTheBeard finally found a lyrical constant]], only to retire from touring in 2008 to look after her son Max. She returned to the music scene in 2010 with the album ''Bionic'', which was poorly-received and led to speculation that her career was over, largely due to ''Bionic'''s sound and visuals drawing comparisons to the then rising Music/LadyGaga. Things recovered slightly later in the year as the official soundtrack for the musical film ''{{Film/Burlesque}}'' (which she starred in alongside alongside {{Music/Cher}}) was released, which featured mostly Aguilera performances achieved a gold certification in the US.

Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) began her career in the spotlight as a former member of ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' revival as teenager. Known as a [[PintsizedPowerhouse little girl with a big voice]], she signed to a major label in the late 90s and became first marketed as a [[IdolSinger bubblegum pop singer]] before seeking more [[GenreRoulette creative control]] thereafter musically and adopting a more [[{{Stripperific}} 'dirrty']] image on her sophomore album to continued commercial success.

Aguilera is considered to be the most talented and critically acclaimed out of the [[TheNineties late 1990s]] blonde teen pop singers trend that was kicked off by Music/BritneySpears, and her peers also include Music/JessicaSimpson and Music/MandyMoore.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Is outspoken about her sexuality (See below), The ''Bionic'' and ''Stripped'' albums, and within ''Back To Basics'': "Nasty Naughty Boy" and "I Got Trouble" prove it. This is one of her selling points.

* ArcWords: Me & I in all her titles:Army Of Me, Sing For Me, Best Of Me, on her new album tracklist hints towards a theme. Save Me From Myself, Loving Me 4 Me, Keep On Singing My Song, Mercy On Me, Don't Make Me Love You..
** All I Need, I Am, I Turn To You, I'm Okay, I Got Trouble, I Hate Boys, I Come Undone, I Will, All I Wanna Do, But I'm A Good Girl...
* AuthorTract: Her turn on Saturday Night Live during her "Dirrty" phrase spent a lot of time defending her right to do and say, anything she wants. She also wrote a thesis after ''Lotus'' under performed defending her choices to not tour since 2007 and telling her fans her music '''IS''' her priority.

* BSide: We're A Miracle, Too Beautiful For Words.
* CallBack: "Lotus" features a lot of lyrical and musical call backs to her earlier works:"Reflection" gets a shout out in the introduction, "I won't let you bring me down" in Best Of Me reminding people of Beautiful, "I'm A Fighter" in Army Of Me, pretty self explanatory, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?." in Around The World, reminds people of Lady Marmalade, "Red Hot Kinda Love" refers to ''Infatuation'' on Stripped. "Let There Be Love" reminds many of her works on "Bionic".

** ''Back To Basics'' is her doing an album with 20-30-40-50's sound backing and occasional contemporary twists.

* DomesticViolence: Gets candid on growing up in a turbulent household with a abusive parent (her father beating both her and her mother) in tracks such as "I'm Ok" in Stripped and "Oh Mother" in Back To Basics.

* FollowYourHeart: "The Voice Within", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Hello" and "Reflection".
* FemmeFatale: Stripped has elements of this, in songs like Dirty and Get Mine Get Yours, Your Body's music video she kills heaps of men, and Bionic and Lotus have some songs which feature this.
* GenreRoulette: If you played only her singles one after another you'd get a lot of different sounds: country ("Just A Fool"), dance pop ("Not Myself Tonight"), r&b ("Your Body"), 60's pop ("Ain't No Other Man"). This is even further developed in her albums, especially ''Stripped'' and ''Bionic'', which are even more random with their variety of flavors in songs.

* NewSoundAlbum: She does this every album, but ''Bionic'' and ''Back To Basics'' have the biggest evolution of sound from "50's inspired jazz pop" to "electronic dance pop from the future".

-->If you don't like it fuck you

* ThePrimaDonna: Prima Donna, Bionic, Not Myself Tonight, Glam and her image since Back To Basics.
* RageQuit: Her rather long breaks are forms of this (4 years average), but the most important instance of this was the cancelled Bionic tour, which was cancelled due to her marriage falling apart, the music being not reviewed the most positively way, and a laser-like focus on her movie coming later on in the year. She also quit The Voice to tour, but quit her tour to stay at home with her kid.
