Cyndi Lauper Interviews Christina Aguilera

Cyndi Lauper interviewed Christina Aguilera for Interview magazine. Asked about how she is able to sing and dance around on stage, Aguilera responded, “Well, to me, the choreography is secondary to the music. The other night I came offstage and was like, ‘I don’t care if I missed a dance step, but my voice was weak!’ This show is very different from what you might’ve envisioned having seen [the video for] ‘Genie in a Bottle’ and all that choreographed stuff from the last album. This show is theatrical, and it’s about getting into a character and getting to play someone who’s vulnerable in a few songs, and then someone who’s aggressive. I’m getting to be a female in control.”
