Christina Aguilera Gets Real On ‘Stripped’

Christina Aguilera tells Top of the Pops magazine that the music on her second album, ‘Stripped’, is a lot more personal and represents the real Christina more than her earlier material ever did. “I come from a huge teen-pop phenomenon, which I think at the time was in a really poor state,” she said. “It wasn’t about lyrics that were real, it was about catchy pop tunes that were more fun than innovative and inspiring. It was hard ’cause so many people had views and ideas about who I should be and inside I was screaming, ‘I’m not really this person!'”
