Christina Aguilera 'Empowered' After Weight Jibes

Wenn

Much has changed since Christina Aguilera released her 2002 number one single 'Dirrty'. Controversial pop videos have been absorbed into the mainstream with stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga regularly shocking the censors.

This has left Christina Aguilera to carve out a new image; one that has made her shapely new appearance the target of much criticism in a body-conscious world.

Promoting seventh album Lotus, the American singer has declared how the older you get, the more important it is to embrace your body and your sexuality.

The Voice US judge whos always been an outspoken fan of the female form told The Sun: Im always in support of someone who is willing and comfortable in their own skin enough to embrace itEmbracing your body is so important, especially as a woman. In this business we are so analysed and judged.

Aguilera has said how she juggles life by switching from different personas between performing and when off-stage.

I really have a good compartmentalising system. I can wear different hats for example, the artist hat. When Im on that stage and Ive been in the wardrobe getting dressed up to play a character, I am living out a specific moment in a songThe purpose of it is to come off tongue-in-che! ek, or playful, and experience my own sexuality and embrace what I am doing as a woman.

Former childhood star Christina, who has previously avoided discussing her personal metamorphosis, wants to spread a positive message about her weight gain and inspire son Max.

The single mother has returned to the spot-light following divorce from husband Jordan Bratman and said that its wonderful to be in a position and have that side of myself that I can latch on to and empower other women.

Christina Aguilera will release new album Lotus on November 13.
