I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I have met Christina Aguilera in the past and she is sincerely nice, I was watching her, along with hundreds of other fans, while she was signing her perfume. I chose to start with this statement becuase other artists out there only behave "nicely" in front of a camera, Christina Aguilera isn't one of them. Knowing that she takes the time to enjoy life and use her own experiences to create a new record really means a lot to me as a fan becuase it shows she is just as human as anyone else and althought it seems like forever the time that goes by in between records I wouldn't have it any other way I rather know she is experiencing almost the same issues as many of us out there than know she is only singing someone else's life. I don't even need to go into the talent she posseses and man that VOICE!!!. Christina Aguilera also happens to be a woman who is always empowering women and some men out there too, she addresses important issues that are occurring in the world and gets involved to make a difference, so to wrap it up, what else could you ask for in a role model/artist/hero. Talent, humbleness, strong sexuality, nurturing mother = Christina Aguilera. This is why I am a fan and you should be too.
