Some selected parts of tl;dr New Zealand article
"There was a backlash against me for a while after that, for sure, but I'm proud of "Dirrty". It was an important song. It really showed how much still has to change about people's views about female sexuality. I think women should be supporting each other to feel empowered, not making each other feel ashamed. If you watch that video, you'll see I wasn't being disrespected in any way by a man. If anything, I was in the power position. I look back at that video and I think - wow - I put myself out there. You look at that video now and you'll see, I really had some balls!"
"It would be sad if people judged my career solely on `Dirrty'," continues Aguilera. "I was just making a point that, as women, it's important to feel free enough to express yourself as a sexual being."
Fair enough, but in the two years after she made the "Dirrty" video, Aguilera probably expressed herself as a sexual being a little too often. In fact, the girl seemed so oversexed, you wished someone would give her a cold shower. She cropped up naked in photo spreads for Maxim, CosmoGirl, GQ and Rolling Stone; she pashed Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards; she gave interviews where she was reported as saying she loved casual sex with both boys and girls, that she masturbated before live shows to ease the tension, and that she was so comfortable with her body that she'd pee into a bucket backstage, stark naked in front of a room full of people, during costume changes. Like Kylie and Madonna before her, Aguilera tried so hard to be a turn-on that she became a turn-off.

"I'd say I was passionate and creative, someone who stands up for what she believes in, someone who's pretty bold. I don't know - what would you guys say?" Behind her a herd of record company publicists, tour managers and stylists chime in with a chorus of "yeah", "for sure" and "no doubt". Which, endearingly, makes her giggle. "See, they agree."
Yes, but they have to. Nobody on your payroll is going to stand up and say - actually, I think Christina Aguilera is a bitch.
"No, that's true," she says. "But really, I don't think I am. I don't have tantrums. I'm assertive, and direct, but I never give people a hard time for no reason. I grew up with that happening to me. I know how it feels, so I'm not about to start doing it to anyone else."
