Etta James Is My All-time Favorite Singer.

Certain People Want To See Me Solely As A Pop Act, But There Are Many Different Sides To Christina Aguilera Besides The Pop Girl.

For Me The Visual Is Just As Important As The Music.

I Talk Openly About My Past And What I've Gone Through - Abuse Being Something That Was Very Real In My Household, And A Lot Of Chaos Growing Up As A Child. I Think That I Naturally Just Gravitated Towards Music That I Could Really Feel On A Deep Level - And That Meant Sadness. I Was Able To Connect With That At A Really Young Age.

I Felt Caged By My Childhood.

It's Been Quite A Roller Coaster Ride, But I've Grown And Learned A Lot About Myself. The Greatest Thing Is Being Able To Interact With Fans And Touch People's Lives... For That I Give Thanks.
