interviewer: sunday music cafe with todays best mix and i'm please to say we have Christina Aguilera this morning,hi

Christina: hello

interviewer: I should just say happy valentine's day as well.

Christina: Thank you

interviewer: and how many did you get cards and flowers and chocolate and all that.

Christina:well to my crew i've been working all day today actually today so it's kind of been difficult but i made valentine's for all the people in my little possee so i actually gave more than i received (laughs)

interviewer: That's actually kind of a sad story. Now the new single beautiful is out tomorrow of course. Slightly different from dirrty

Christina: A lot different from dirrty. Yeh i mean they're two very different things like if you listen to the record it is a very diverse record you know and if you expected dirrty to sound like what the rest of the record had to offer you were in for a big suprise. Just because this is a record that deals with rock to rnb soul to hip hop tracks you know gospel tracks big ballads dealing with different types of styles that i love to listen to and are different sides of my character.Even in my voice i felt the need to include a lot of them especially that i wanted to make this a very personal record and i am multi-fasted(?) i'm not only one thing and that's why you will get a side of me that's able to have fun be free spirited and free ambitions letting go being young comfortable with myself my body my sexuality just having a good time, in a video like dirrty to the more interverted more sincere and introspective side of me which you get in beautiful more simple and you get to see a little bit more of me. The message of that song in general i think the positivity of it, really uplifting. The kind of vibe that it has i think reflects better to what the rest of the record has to offer so you know i'm not only one thing.

interviewer: no. Is it slightly diverse you know the album stripped

Christina: Absolutely

interviewer: it's like you say. I was thinking because we're talking about romance and valentines day and whatever and soon it will be wedding season and of course they'll be couples, and who knows with beautiful on in the background.(Christina laughs) you know record sales must be great, concerts must be great but to think like for 2 people that could be their song that must be quite....

Christina: You know, it's amazing i mean even getting letters and fan mail of how..especially on this record in general of how it's touched people you know certain songs and lyrics because it's so personal even a song like "i'm okay" which deals with my childhood and domestic violence i mean it's an issue i wanted to write about. One of the reasons so it would touch people it would be the voice that some people wanted to hear to let them know that they're not alone in that situation and that they can be strong and come out of anything and that's what means the best to me yu know it could be a hit song, played on the radio that people can sing along to but it can really have an effect on a person's life or many people's lifes it's amazing to be able to do that.

(they play Genie in a bottle)

interviewer: Sunday music cafe with Christina Aguilera, let's talk about awards firstly which has meant the most to you.

Christina: O well awards , i guess the biggest award that can come your way which is a huge honour in this industrie is a grammy. I have three grammys that i treasure and it's such a special thing to have happen to you, you know it's a blessing. My favourite one award has to be you know pretty much the first one i ever won and that award was the grammy for best new artist just because you know is a catergorie that especially for the grammys you can never be nominated for ever again and you only have one shot to win it one shot to be nominated and i won it above other people that i just thought had a better chance i didn't expect it whatsoever no speech prepared i was so green to everything pretty much it was barely after genie in a bottle got released on to what a girl wants and you know. I was just like i almost died i had to be shoved out of my chair because i thought i was dreaming for a second literally i was really shocked. That was one of my dreams come true my favourite accomplishment so far.

interviewer: So where do you keep them, you say you treasure that one grammy award, i mean where do you keep it is it in the hall, some people keep them in the toilet.(Christina laughs) i mean each to their own.

Christina: I heard about that you know it's the whole rock star thing i guess but for me i've been house looking for 2 whole years right in L.A i'm living in a tempoarary house at the moment i've been living in this so-called temporary house for about 2 years, i've been looking- it's crazy to try and find a house, the right one you know cous i really want it to be right so at the moment they're on a shelf that i wouldn't really put them on if i found the right house so it's temporary at the moment. Nothing super super special but um...I don't keep it in some kind of glass bubble (laughs)you know but um...i do treasure them and it's pretty cool.

interviewer: Is there one award in particular you'd really love to win.

Christina: um...

interviewer:that you haven't got yet, you mentioned there your grammy but say in the UK

Christina: um...sure i mean it would be great what would you say was your biggest award show out here.

interviewer: Must be the brits

Christina:the brits, then i would say a brit award.

person in background: Get her one quick!

(They play Lady Marmalade)

interviewer: today's best mix always the biggest star's sunday music cafe , this is mark dennison. Last friday of course valentine's day spent a least a portion of the valentine's evening with Christina Aguilera amongst all things we were talking about her image and that some people find her shocking, does she think well i'll go out and shock or does she now think well stuff you i'll do what i like.

Christina: Well i can honestly say first and foremost i don't do anything that i'm not comfortable with and i don't do everything to please other people on a level of the fact that you can't please everyone at the same time and plus i'm comfortable with what i'm doing you said that but i don't do anything to intentionally shock i just am always evolving into a person- an artist.You know i do always....I always have been this way in general you know i always wanna be an individual, even in school when i was younger and what-not i always....never followed the pack or whatever people were doing or wearing. I definetely always went my way. You know i'm 22 years old now and into this world- this crazy business that i'm in now you know and it's funny you know that i have that capability you know but it's just about being individual i mean i don't follow like if one certain designer is extremely popular and everyone's dying to get the same dress i'm going to get exactly the opposite because i wanna be a little diverse and i don't ever want to stay the same i just want to keep changing.I wanna shock people you know expecially coming out with the dirrty video it shocked because i guess a lot of people were expecting me to come out with genie in a bottle part.2 and that's exactly the opposite of what i wanted to do and exactly the opposite of who i am. I was a 17 year old teenager and the time and you know we grow up as people. I'm now a 22 year old young woman and i'm expressing myself and sometimes that's gonna shock people you know that little progression of growth.

interviewer: Well i wasn't shocked by Dirrty at all i thought it was good and i know plenty of other blokes at saturday morning tv show as well that did the same. Wish you the best of luck with the single.

Christina: Thank you

interviewer: That's alright. It's called beautiful of course the album's stripped.Just one more thing before we finish are you planning to do any live stuff i know you've got lots of engagements but in terms of the tour.

Christina: Yes. I'm going on tour with Mr Timberlake. Mr Justin Timberlake, that will be really really fun to do we both love live performing and we both have similarly timed it where we both re-introduced ourselves to artists to the world. You know him being so low and me having grown up making such a personal record and we aim to make our live shows as personal as the record has been and let people come into our world which is going to be very exciting and we have a great opening act that we can't announce and the moment because we're trying to get ya know how it is all the legal stuff worked out right now but it's going to be very exciting. I can't wait to reveal that it's going to be something you don't wanna miss.
