Christina Aguilera gave an interview to the Netherlands October edition of CosmoGirl. A few people have offered English translations and here is one of them:

Things have been quiet with the diva with the sexy look and powerful voice. But if you thought Christina hasn’t been up to anything, think again. She’s back with a lot of energy and a new look.

You look different, do you have a new image?

“With my look – and my songs – I portray how happy I am and how good I’m feeling right now. My music and my looks have always been a unity. Because I took things slow for a while, I had all the time I needed to get myself inspired. For example, I’m really into pop-art right now. Do you know those paintings from Andy Warhol, with all those bright colors? That’s exactly how I’m feeling right now: happy and energized. I have a very positive outlook on life and that affects everything I do and create.”

You’ve got thousands of fans all over the world, do you yourself have an idol?
“I know it’s really cliché, but my mother is my hero. She has always encouraged me to do what I love most. I chose to be a singer, but if I rather wanted to be a teacher, I know my mom would have supported me just as much.”

What did you learn from your mother?
“To always be honest and to never bottle your emotions up. Because of this I can express myself really well. When something is bothering me, you can immediately see it in my behavior. I often write my emotions and feelings down in a journal. This really works for me. When I read my journal back after a while I think: why was I so upset with that! My old journals mostly evolved around guys. That’s so ridiculous! Seriously girls, don’t let them get to your head. A guy needs to treat you like a princess, otherwise he’s not worth it.”

October CosmoGirl – Netherlands: Christina Aguilera Interview

How important is it for you to be sexy?
“Haha! It’s obvious that I like to dress provocatively. Some people think it’s trashy, but I see it otherwise. I’m just really glad to be a girl and I want the whole world to know that. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? Because I’m in the spotlight so much, I find it important to be a role model for other girls. I want them to see that you can be whoever you want to be and your looks are not that important. It’s the inner beauty that counts. I hate it when people try to label me. Alright, I love red lipstick, but that doesn’t mean I have to be trashy too. I just do what I feel like doing and what feels right to me.”

You are launching your second perfume line this October. Why another perfume and not a clothing line like other celebrities, for example?
“A perfume makes you feel good about yourself, it’s sort of a finishing touch. Everybody has a memory in which a scent plays a crucial part: like that one kiss with your summer love or that party where you danced all night long. Often you can remember exactly what perfume you were wearing and you will recognize that scent your whole life. Isn’t that worth smelling good?”

Do you remember what your first perfume was?
“I can’t remember what brand it was exactly, but I do remember that I was super excited about it. I was such a girly girl. I loved make-up, so a perfume could not be left out. My mom had her perfume in a little spray bottle, with a little ball you had to pinch in, it was so chic. When I got one of my own, I was just so proud. I still find those old fashioned bottles the prettiest.”

How would you describe your perfume Inspire?
“Feminine! When you wear it, you get this boost of confidence and you feel like you can take on the whole world. I find it very important that girls feel good about themselves. Confidence is what makes someone really sexy. In enjoy it when I see girls on the street with real confidence.”

Do you have a favorite power quote you want to share with CosmoGirls?
“Special quotes I always store on my phone. I love them. This is the last one I added: He who dares to walk his own path, will never get lost. Nice, isn’t it? When you do in life what you really love and you are who you want to be, nothing can go wrong. I’m not saying it is always a piece of cake to make you dreams reality, but you have to work hard and do everything you can to achieve your goals.”

    Gorgeous picture. I enjoy reading these interviews done on her. She makes them fun to read! She has an intellectual way of speaking and I’m just amazed by it.

  2. Betsy

    She’s a smart cookie! I love that she is confident to try new outfits and wears them for herself. That she loves her red lipstick and doesnt make her a tramp! She’s right!!!! I love this lady…she’s got class.

  3. Marg

    Russell Brand has a massive crush on her.
    He thinks she’s amazingly beautiful and says so frequently on his radio show

  4. Betsy

    Well Russell is an admited sex addict, so how could he NOT be attracted and have a crush on someone as confident, sexy and outspoken as Christina? He’s a riot!

  5. Ashley

    This is a gorgeous picture! I kinda get Megan Fox when she has the straight hair and the red lip stick.

  6. Betsy

    I love this photo to! It was taken at her Inspire launch. She does know how to take a beautiful photo. It’s the photogs that capture the not so pretty moments and then publish them. HA!

  7. Ashley

    It looks as if she doesn’t even have to pose. It’s just one of a kind.

  8. Betsy

    I cant wait to see the new look. I’m looking forward to the full album artwork and how she’ll be presenting herself with the press. And a video? Can’t WAIT for that!

  9. Ashley

    The video’s going to be cool. I can tell! What do you think it will be about?

  10. Betsy

    Oh my gosh. It could be about a million things! Let’s see. If we stick with the Judy Jetson/space thing, I could see Christina wearing a very funky outfit and a very Andy Warhol inspired set. Obviously, some guy has to be involved, right –referencing the Super Bitch and Super Girl? Keeps Gettin Better…hmmm, so many avenues to choose! I see a lot of techo looks. I realllly hope she does a new Genie! What do you think?

  11. Ashley

    Yeah I agree. I picture her dancing in the video and it containing a lot of color, kind of like Janet’s- All for You video, with male dancers in it. One of the dancers has to stand out! I also see lots of cool outfits!

  12. Betsy

    For Christina’s debut video, it’s gonna have to be great! She’s a perfectionist and we know that it will be all her approval and everything that girl wants! I love to see Christina’s creativity, even if it seems odd to some. She’s an artist. Not just a pop singer. And artists have something to share with the world…I can’t wait!

  13. Ashley

    Yeah I bet it will have a lot of views on youtube. I will watch it the minute it comes out! You’ll have it here Betsy?

  14. Betsy

    You KNOW I will! As soon as it’s plastered on YouTube, I’ll be posting it here. ….as long as someone doesn’t disable embedding! Legal is king. :-)
