Christina Aguilera and her Music

Despite Christina Aguilera's new album, Bionic, which was released in June, not receiving much critical acclaim or commercial success -- the girl is still incredibly talented and successful. Although her hits of the past such as "Dirrty," "Ain't No Other Man," and "What A Girl Wants" seem like a different era in pop music, one thing has remained the same: Christina's incredible vocal chords.

Let's face it -- pop music isn't what it was like during the late '90s and early 2000's during Christina's "Genie in A Bottle" days. With more hip hop and dance music dominating the charts, it's no wonder that Christina's new music is going unnoticed because it does not resolve itself to one specific genre. Although her first single "Not Myself Tonight" from Bionic has a dance-feel to it, the shocking song appeared to be too similar to other shock and awe performers such as Lady Gaga, making people raise eyebrows at Christina's new musical authenticity.

However, if anyone needs proof that Christina still has incredible talent -- they should look no further than her new single, "You Lost Me." A slow ballad strips Christina's Hollywood glam and theatrics down to a raw confessional experience. While nothing sounds like this on the radio today, the song is infectious and pristine -- similar to previous Christina ballads such as "Beautiful."

Although the world may be singing along with Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and other pop stars, it doesn't mean we should abandon the ones that paved the road for today's new artists. Want proof that Christina Aguilera still has it? Take a listen to "You Lost Me" and hear it for yourself.
