THE NINE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 'DIRRTY'

Editors Note:

9 years ago today Christina Aguilera debuted her new single off of her mind blowing album, 'Stripped'. I (Karlos) was actually just starting my Sophomore year in high school when 'Dirrty' was released. You can imagine what was going through my mind when I saw her grinding on women while soaking wet. I couldn't believe that the one girl that sang 'Genie In A Bottle' was dancing on tables, wearing ass-less chaps, etc, but I'm glad she did cause if she wouldn't have I would have probably of gotten bored with her music (i.e. Britney Spears). Now that I think about it it was a great way to start my sophomore year in high school.

THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}

It's hard to believe it's already the one year anniversary of Christina Aguilera's fourth studio album, ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, are you ready to go?



From the moment I first heard ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, Christina has taken over my mind frame, and has had me put it on replay over and over until I've gone insane. Christina has effectively made me 'feel unusual' and I don't care one bit. I haven't gotten off the rollercoaster, and I still don't want to. Each and every day I'm shouting XXX-TTT-III-NNN-AA, say!



Thanks to ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, I listen to it at least once every day since its release and I've even renamed my Wednesdays to 'Woohoo Wednesdays' ...so "more power to the 'Woohoo.'" Christina has her Naked Sundays and I got my Woohoo Wednesdays, xoxo.



The vision behind ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} is just absolutely astounding from the musical direction to the visual imagery which has established unimaginable iconography in Christina's colorful catalog of artistry. Christina also collaborated with an unprecedented amount of artists for ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} from M.I.A. to Lil Jon (which came out of nowhere!), Le Tigre, Peaches, Santigold, Ladytron, and of course the bucket of sunshine, Sia Furler which has yielded tremendously spellbinding results.

THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 'KEEPS GETTIN' BETTER: A DECADE OF HITS'

One year ago today, Christina Aguilera released, Keeps Gettin' Better - A Decade Of Hits. The Greatest Hits album was released to commemorate Aguilera's TEN years in the music industry, which featured four new songs in an already stellar collection from Christina's catalog of hit singles: "Genie 2.0," "Keeps Gettin' Better," "Dynamite," and "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)." Aguilera debuted "Genie 2.0" and "Keeps Gettin' Better" each at the 2008 Video Music Awards in which Christina stole the show. The release was exclusively sold at Target. After examining Christina's career to this point, it really does keep getting better.
