Christina Aguilera: 'I'm Very Comfortable With My Body'

After fabricated quotes on being a "fat girl" went viral last week, the real Christina Aguilera doesn't have anything to hide. The singer appears nude on the cover of her forthcoming album, "Lotus," and told reporters at the American Music Awards nominations announcement on Tuesday that the decision was a "no-brainer."

"Have I ever been scared to take risks?" she said, laughing. "I'm very comfortable with my body. I've always said, no matter what hairstyle, crazy look, make-up, i've always done [the] exciting thing. Whether people love it or hate it, at least I know I was staying true to myself."

The singer, the center of attention in a form-fitting purple dress and glittering bling on her neck and hand, says she'll "bring that album cover to life" in her Nov. 18 AMAs performance. She also announced the nominees on Tuesday.

"It'll be a little bit of a medley," Aguilera says of the songs she'll perform. "You'll get a feel for 'Lotus' ... 'Your Body' is only one dimension of a very multi-layered record."

Beyond the "tongue-in-cheek" "Your Body," which already has 11 million YouTube views, Aguilera said the new set will include vulnerable ballads and vocals inspired by her work on "The Voice."

"There are some songs that I vocally went for, being inspired off of being a coach from 'The Voice,' to inspire the new generation of singers," she says. "There's a bunch of 6 year olds that weren't around [for 1999 single] 'Genie in a Bottle' so it's very interesting and fun for me to release this particular record, let them know what I'm about as an artist."

"Lotus" is due Nov. 13, days before the American Music Awards, which celebrates its 40th ceremony this year.

this is so one layered. at they very least Ashley McGloughlin could've changed the album title to "Bloatus". Either way it's dumb.

"There's a bunch of 6 year olds that weren't around [for 1999 single] 'Genie in a Bottle' so it's very interesting and fun for me to release this particular record, let them know what I'm about as an artist."

i'm not a parent but personally i wouldn't let a 6 yr old listen to genie in a bottle cause of the "rub me the right way" line

until_you_leave 9th-Oct-2012 11:25 pm (UTC)

i don't think a six year old would even understand the sexual tone of that line, they'd only understand it in the sense of her being a genie

expromqueen 9th-Oct-2012 11:27 pm (UTC)

yeah i'm just thinking about little kids repeating that lyric, like at school or in church lol

lovebum4life 10th-Oct-2012 01:47 am (UTC)

yeah I was 7 when the song was popular and I really didn't get that line. But my older sister wouldn't allow me to sing it and I never understood why at the time. lol that line went way over my head XD

die2nitelive4ev 9th-Oct-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)

I was 6 when that came out and I'd sing it round the house, not a clue what it was about. Same with me singing 2 become 1.

simplychristina 10th-Oct-2012 03:21 am (UTC)

I used to walk around as a kid singing Like a Virgin. There's always something like that that kids will like but go over their heads.

andres01234 10th-Oct-2012 03:59 am (UTC)

Genie in a bottle is nothing compared to Your body or Not myself tonight

redaodai 9th-Oct-2012 11:20 pm (UTC)

I hope the album has some tracks like Monday Morning, Little Dreamer, All I Need and Birds of Prey.

drkshdw 9th-Oct-2012 11:21 pm (UTC)

she can never give a concise answer. she always goes on and on and on when asked the simplest questions.

ponpiri 9th-Oct-2012 11:35 pm (UTC)

lol ikr

Patti LaHelle does the best parody of her. It starts at 7:05

haverchuck_bill 10th-Oct-2012 12:23 am (UTC)

why would I sing with a baby goat.

lmao

rootooyoo 10th-Oct-2012 11:33 am (UTC)

lmfao what is this. deceased!

mysticmaestoso 10th-Oct-2012 02:42 pm (UTC)

OMG I started watching one and another and another, these are hysterical. I am dead from all the shade! And the voices!!! LMFAO!

urizanegao 10th-Oct-2012 10:24 pm (UTC)

I love Xtina (and all the other people Patti portrays), but these videos give me LIFE. I wish there was a new one like everyday.

simplylovable 9th-Oct-2012 11:22 pm (UTC)

a woman who is actually proud about her body. imo good for Christina.
*waits silently for ontd to call her fat*

totegay 9th-Oct-2012 11:36 pm (UTC)

i'm with you. tbh i wish the "fat girl" quote was real because it was fucking awesome.

maidenhell 9th-Oct-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)

I'm with you too. The comments in this post are ridiculous.
I'm not a stan by any means, but I like her this era.

_effinsweet_ 10th-Oct-2012 12:00 am (UTC)

seriously
the fact that this is a story is just ridiculous

drunkagron 10th-Oct-2012 12:07 am (UTC)

Too late

jesusbitches 10th-Oct-2012 12:09 am (UTC)

i don't buy it from her tho. not when she wears clothes 2 sizes too small and gets out of nowhere ass implants. she just talks a lot about loving her body to over compensates for her insecurities, imo.
