Christina Aguilera is firing back at her critics by saying "I'm a fat girl, get over it." She's happy with her curves and wants her fans and business execs to feel the same. Christina says that in 2002 when she released her "Stripped" album she felt like her record company wanted her to be the typical skinny white girl. Aguilera has always tried to over shadow her "whiteness" I think by constantly reminding us all that she is Ecuadorian. Seriously who cares she looks white to me.
Christina gained 15 pounds while promoting her "Stripped" tour and music executives shamed her into losing weight by saying that people would lose their jobs and income if she didn't slim down. Now that she has more power since she started judging on "The Voice" she told her current record label ‘You are working with a fat girl. Know it now and get over it.’ She has no plans on losing weight to promote her new album. She says "They need a reminder sometimes that I don’t belong to them. It’s my body. My body can’t put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore. My body is just not on the table that way anymore.”
I think with Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga flaunting much fuller figures it's a wake up call to America. You don't have to be skin and bones to be sexy and successful. This isn't the early 2000's anymore where every singer strived to compete against Britney's body. Even Britney herself isn't exactly a size 0 anymore.
