I remember when 'Dirrty' was unleashed on the world and all the conservative parents were flabbergasted by the gyrating hips and bear crotch of the now very sweaty Christina Aguilera. In a Madonna style transformation, something mirrored by a 'growing' Britney Spears, Christina morphed from (almost) innocent teen into a man eating, neo-feminist, mud slinging, danger to the youths of the planet. Xtina had arrived and we liked it.
Once Stripped had commenced its onslaught on the charts, the brilliant single material began to fall into our audio channels. 'Dirrty', 'Beautiful' and 'The Voice Within' were all examples of this filthy icon's status as a fantastic artiste, but for me it was 'Fighter' that cemented her talent in our collective consciousness. With a magnificently original video, the song is her best to date. Packed with attitude, the song highlights Xtina's unique vocals and her skills as a song writer. The melodiously stunning bridge is a perfect build up to the epic final chorus. 'Fighter's' the kind of song that kicks you in the stomach and knees you in the face, but leaves you begging for more.
Glorious rock infused popestry.
