Christina Aguilera Says She’s In The Home Stretch

David Wild of Rolling Stone spoke with Christina Aguilera before the release of her new album this fall. “We’re in the home stretch,” she said. Aguilera calls this album a declaration of independence from her teen pop past. “When you’re seventeen, you’re green,” she admitted. “I fell into something that wasn’t quite me. Being twenty-one now, I’ve grown into more of what I feel like as a woman. This record is definitely my baby.” Any thought that she’s still a teenybopper pop queen vanish when she utters the line, “I don’t need anyone to make me over/Save your bullsh** for another day” on ‘Make Me Over’.
