I am so ready to, to go for it, and I'm so ready to experience it all, and be in this business for a long time.
even nineteen year old Christina Aguilera correctly predicting her own future, and in the seven years since then, Christina has successfully reinvented herself many, many times: pop princess, to dirty girl, to her newest incarnation, a married woman with a serious touch of old school.
(song) break it down now, ain't no other, ain't ain't no other other
do you have a tattoo?
absolutely, yeah, yeah
are these husband and wife tattoos?
We have a couple, yeah, for sure.
This is one of them, it's a pretty one with the red ink and whatnot, it says 'te amo JB siempre(?)' so it's 'I love JB always' - because I'm half Spanish and he's of course Jewish, so it's half Hebrew and Spanish. And then there's on my back 'I am my beloved and my beloved is mine' in Hebrew with his initials, and he has one of... one for me on his arm, and it's interesting because he's not the kind of guy to get any sort of thing like that, but it was a wedding present for me, so it was very sweet.
(song) Just do your thing, honey.
Sweet describes just about every aspect of Cristina's life right about now... she has a double disk back to basics about the drop, is more stunning than ever, and of course is still a newlywed, music executive husband Jordan Bratman, who's been in the picture longer than most people know.
He actually has been with me for quite a while, he was at the start of, you know, he was hanging out on the video set of Dirty, in that whole thing, so he's been with me for, you know, quite a few years now.
(song) gonna get dirty.
Though she insists that she's still a little dirty. Christina's clean new glam pinup look is a unique and unexpected transformation for one of the ex-pop princesses.
How have you managed to manage your life so well and not be tabloid fodder like they are?
I think it's a conscious decision whenever you go in to do something like that. You know, I haven't... I've been approached but I will never go to a place of wanting to open my husband and I up to a reality show. That's just not us. That's just not me.
Do you have any time at all - with this tour coming up and everything that's going to happen - to even think about the next stage of marriage, which is...
Children.
Which is children.
It's something that I look forward to with my husband, of course. Eventually one day, but one thing at a time. It'll be a great deal of balance for me. Because I don't want to also miss out on being a mother as well, but I gotta follow through with these two double disc "babies" right now.
Yeah, those are your babies right now.
Those are my babies right now.
And they are very good babies. The album's absolutely fantastic. And Christina' not the only star mom with potential.
