20 Reasons Xtina Is Still A Pop Queen

Hate her. Love her. The bitch still can crush a song like no one else.

1. First let's begin with this.

Skip ahead to 2:30 and duck for cover as windows shatter.

2. Because Burlesque.

Cher? Christina? Sandy Cohe--I mean, Peter Gallagher and his eyebrows? Where do I sign up?

3. Because she tries until she succeeds.

When she was told she had to hit a certain difficult note in order to land the track "Reflection" on the Mulan soundtrack she recorded herself singing "Run to You"...and naturally, nailed that note.

4. Because you and your girls can't help but sing along to her solo in Lady Marmalade.

Basically the only part of the song that matters.

5. Because you, too, rocked a sweet pair of cargos in the early 2000s.

6. Because she preaches positive messages.

7. Because her songs are empowering.

Stripped is THE breakup anthem. Fighter? The Voice Within? Beautiful? Gang's all here.

8. Because she doesn't let the haters get her down.

When speaking about her weight fluctuation she said: "I told them during this Lotus recording… ‘you are working with a fat girl… know it now and get over it’ They need a reminder sometimes that I don’t BELONG to them… it’s my body."

9. Because Candyman is basically your Halloween inspiration.

Who doesn't want to be an adorable pinup?

10. Because Grammy.

Sorry Britney.

11. Because she's not afraid to play with her looks.

12. Because Dirrrty secretly makes you want to get into a cage fight.

Or just dance. Whatever.

13. Because The Voice is the only singing competition worth watching.

And you hope that her and Adam are hooking up angrily behind scenes.

14. Because she grew up in good company.

Mere mortals are not allowed to breathe the same air as Gosling.

15. Because even when she's featured in a song she steals the show.

Moves Like Jagger, Feel this Moment and Tilt Ya Head Back all needed this powerhouse to be smash hits.

16. Because she's proactive.

In 2008 she was featured in the Rock the Vote campaign with son Max encouraging young people to cast their ballots. She also helped raise 22 million to feed struggling women and children and was asked by the World Food Programme to take on the role of Ambassador Against Hunger.

17. Because she can actually sing live.

...Unlike so many others.

18. Because she doesn't care if you don't like her.

19. Because she believes in women empowerment.

"Growing up with the childhood that I had, I learned to never let a man make me feel helpless, and it also embedded a deep need in me to always stick up for women."

Christina Aguilera

20. Because...THAT VOICE.

Bow down.
