* ''Christina Aguilera'' (1999)
Line 33:
* ''Back to Basics Tour'' (2006–07)
{{
== Music Tropes ==
* [[All Women Are Lustful]]: Is outspoken about her sexuality (See below), The Bionic and Stripped albums, and within Back To Basics: Nasty Naughty Boy and I Got Trouble prove it. This is one of her selling points, all women are lustful and liberated by her sexy stage show and other antics.
* [[Bad Girl Song]]: "Dirrty" and "Still Dirrty"
* [[Be Yourself]]: "The Voice Within", "Hello", "I Will Be" and "Reflection"
* [[Break Up Song]]: "Impossible", "Underappreciated", "You Lost Me", "I Hate Boys", "Walk Away", "Fighter", "Cruz"
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: ''I'm OK'' and ''Oh Mother'' are about the abuse she witnessed as a very young child. She has also admitted to suffering depression partially due to this experience. This shows in the songs Understand, Mercy On Me, The Right Man and the greater Stripped album.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: "Bionic" has all but been forgotten, a half-assed second single, tour cancelled, her claiming she'd done all the work recording the album and didn't regret not touring for it. Doubts are for any song on it making to her next era.
* [[Careful
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: The lady can sang see ''Hurt'' and ''Mercy On Me''
* [[Concept Album]]: Two major ones
** ''Stripped'' is her stripping her facade away and showing all that she can do in music
** ''Back To Basics'' is her doing a [[Silly Love Songs]] album to her then husband with 20-30-40-50's sound backing and occasional contemporary twists..
* [[A Date
* [[Distinct Double Album]]: The ''Back to Basics'' album. Disc one was standard pop with a throwback to jazz, funk and soul, and disc two comprised live music reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s.
* [[Discontinuity]]: "Bionic" has suffered some discontinuity due to it's under achievements single-wise.
* [[Double Standard]]: "Can't Hold Us Down" is a [[Take That]] on the assumption that it's okay for men to do certain things (such as having multiple sexual partners) but not for women to do the same.
* [[Ethical Slut]]: In songs like "Dirrty", "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Still Dirrty" and the Bionic Record.
* [[Era Specific Personality]]: Two very specific personality's are present in her work:
** She was ''Xtina'' in her "Bionic" and "Stripped" era's.
** ''Baby Jane'' was her personality for "Back To Basics"
* [[Epic Rocking]]: Keep On Singing My Song is extremely long compared to the rest of the tracks on Stripped.
* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: The Voice Within-I'm Ok.
* [[Friends
{{quote|
* [[Follow Your Heart]]: "The Voice Within", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Hello" and "Reflection"
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: Keeps Getting Better: A Decade Of Hits
* [[Grief Song]]: "Hurt"
* [[Incredibly Long Note]]: A feature of her songs....note On Our Way.
* [[Intercourse
* [[Lyrical Tic]]: Recording Wahs and Ooh Ooohs all over her songs, even her major collaborator (Linda Perry) told her to cut it out on Beautiful.
* [[Melismatic Vocals]]: Well known for fitting 7 note malisma's into her songs live. ESPECIALLY in the Back to Basics tour!
* [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: She points out the [[Double Standard]] constantly. "The guy gets all the glory the more he can score, and the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore."—"Can't Hold Us Down"
** [[Madonna-Whore Complex]]: ''Sorry I'm not a virgin/Sorry I'm not a slut''
* [[New Sound Album]]: She does this every album, but Bionic and Back To Basics have the biggest evolution of sound from "50's inspired jazz pop" to "electronic dance pop from the future".
** Also her debut [[Self-Titled Album]] and Stripped both have an rnb / sexy / personal edge which unites them together thematically.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: In Not Myself Tonight.
{{quote|
* [[Piss-Take Rap]]: "Bobblehead"
* [[Red Pill,
{{quote|
♪And all that the red pill did was make you forget why♪ }}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: "Sex For Breakfast" and really, the greater "Bionic" album.
* [[Rockstar Song]]: "Welcome", "Bionic", "Still Dirrty", "Here To Stay", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Make Over", "Vanity", "Keeps Getting Better", "Not Myself Tonight", "Glam", "Prima Donna", "I Am", "Loving Me 4 Me", "Mercy On Me", "Save Me From Myself" amongst others.
* [[Silly Love Songs]]: Back To Basics is this idea, made into an album, especially disk 1.
** "Loving Me 4 Me" "Infatuation", "Bound To You".
* [[Strictly Formula]]: Ever since "Stripped" her singles have been released, upbeat party song (Dirrty, Ain't No Other Man, Not Myself Tonight) and then a ballad (Beautiful, Hurt, You Lost Me)
* [[Studio Chatter]]: Used extensively on "Stripped" particularly on Impossible and Keep On Singing My Song.
* [[Take That, Critics!]]: Present in Aguilera's lyrics to her critics: "If I wanna be provocative, well that ain't a sin, / Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin."—"Still Dirrty".
** Her song "Here to Stay" also counts very, very much. The ultimate Take That song. And ''Keep on Singing My Song''.
* [[Take That]]: F U S S on Back To Basics, and some...statements...she's made about her cotemporary's and elders in the pop arena.
* [[Translated Cover Version]]: Aguilera has done covers of her own English-language songs in Spanish.
* [[Tsundere]]: Keeps Getting Better is a type A.
{{quote|
Next day I'm your super girl/Out to save the world/and it keeps getting better }}
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "Woohoo", the song with [[Nicki Minaj]], pretty much uses Woohoo as a term for...something else.
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: The Voice Within, Beautiful, Hello and Little Dreamer are four examples and this is a Theme in Stripped.
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: "You Lost Me"
== Musician Tropes ==
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Her father.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Worked with Madonna live and was one of Etta James favourite singers. Being picked to sing so at her funeral.
* [[Cover Version]]: As a musician she loves to cover is "At Last" in dedicating to Etta James.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: As a judge on "The Voice," critics have noted that she's much friendlier than they thought.
* [[Dream Team]]: Her tour with [[Justin Timberlake]] was rather special.
** [[Madonna]] had also worked with her live.
** [[Nicki Minaj]] got featured on Bionic in Woohoo.
* [[Everything's Sparkly
* [[Follow the Leader]] / [[Always Someone Better]]: When she began her singing career, Christina was marketed the same way as [[Britney Spears]] to follow the teen-pop trend, from about 1999 to 2002. Lately, Aguilera has been accused of copying [[
* [[Good Bad Girl]]: As she concerns herself with the [[Madonna-Whore Complex]] in her music, she herself is a good bad girl who has sex and loves it.
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: A tabloid article on Christina claimed that she has spun out of control since separating from her husband with her weight supposedly ballooning from a size 2 to a size 8. That's right. A size that is not only slim, but STILL almost half the size of the average American woman is seen as "ballooning", and worthy of such snarky advice as "it's time to put down the fried chicken and get on the treadmill". E!'s "Fashion Police", features a panel of four snarky fashion judges (including Joan Rivers and longtime rival Kelly Osbourne) who repeatedly slam Aguilera for her weight and fashion choices. Even worse, this is seen as the worst indicator of her downward spiral, as compared to say, her arrest for public intoxication.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: Aguilera was bullied as a child (tire slashing, spray-painting her home) due to jealousy over her musical accomplishments/personality clashes.
* [[Like Is, Like, a Comma]]: Speaks like this.
* [[Military Brat]]: She moved around quite frequently due to being one.
* [[Self-Titled Album]]: Naturally her debut.
* [[Singing Voice Dissonance]]: Initially she had a lighter talking voice then her naturally deep singing voice.
* [[The Rival]] / [[Always Someone Better]]: [[Britney Spears]], initially, who was also in ''The New Mickey Mouse Club'' and came out in 1998. She was recently joined by [[
** Let's not forget [[
** Now, at least one article has said that part of her initial success was based on being the "edgy" singer when compared to [[
** [[Unknown Rival]]: Kelly Osbourne, at one point. Christina never really took her seriously.
** She is an [[Unknown Rival]] to both [[Britney Spears]] and [[Lady Gaga]] who ignore her negative comments about them to their benefit.
** The (one-sided) rivalry's have been halted as she has recently wished Britney a happy birthday on Twitter. Which should put to rest any myth about a rivalry between them. She also spoke kindly about Lady Gaga in an interview last year. Which shows personal growth for Christina.
== Music Video Tropes ==
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Playing "triplets" in "Candyman".
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: "The Voice Within"
* Dominatrix: Not Myself Tonight
* [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]]: "Candyman". Includes numerous [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to famous pin-up paintings of the era as well.
* [[Panty Shot]]: Used 10 times in the "Dirrty" video. She doesn't even try to hide it.
* [[Playing to The Fetishes]]: in "Not Myself Tonight" and "Dirrty".
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Aguilera wore a few furs, including [http://www.mtv.com/photos/the-evolution-of-christina-aguilera/1638147/4828805/photo.jhtml a white rabbit coat] in the video for rapper Nelly's "Tilt Ya Head Back".
* [[Rage Against the Reflection]]: The music video for "Beautiful" features, among other scenes, an anorexic woman looking at herself in the mirror disapprovingly, then punching the mirror to shatter it, symbolizing her refusal to agonize over her body.
* [[Retraux]] / [[George Lucas Throwback]]: The music video "Candyman" is a raunchy love letter to the styles of the 30's and 40's.
* [[Three Minutes of Writhing]]: "Not Myself Tonight".
* [[World War II]]: "Candyman"
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: In "Ain't No Other Man"
