Christina Aguilera — “Beautiful”

Christina Aguilera — “Beautiful”

Don’t you bring us down today, because it’s time to talk about Christina Aguilera. This week, Rob looks back on the superstar songwriters behind some of the biggest pop hits of ‘90s and 2000s before landing on how 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry penned “Beautiful,” one of Xtina’s signature songs. Aguilera’s powerhouse voice is what put her on the map, and landed her on a Disney soundtrack, but it’s her striking restraint that makes the song land that much harder. Later, Rob’s joined by ‘Mighty Real’ author Barry Walters to discuss Aguilera’s emergence from a crowded class of pop stars and how “Beautiful” became a major LGBTQ+ anthem.
