Xtina!

Either people can't stand her voice, or they make a competition show using her voice as the ultimate platform of vocal ability and talent. I tend to be towards the latter end of the spectrum, as I can't get over the power she has (Grammy performance of It's a Man's World), but she abuses it sometimes (the Etta James tribute).

I think Stripped and Back to Basics are two of the best pop albums in the last decade, especially the former. She shows an amazing versatility and dedication to whatever project she does.

Her last album, while it had some great ideas and an amazing list of collaborators, was just too schizophrenic. Label interference with the tracklist and singles run equated to a disastrous campaign. Followed by a divorce, a media obsession with her weight, and some bad press about her diva attitude on The Voice, I'd say Christina hasn't been in the public's good graces for a while.

Her new single is about to be released and it's called 'Your Body.' A demo leaked, available to listen to here:

She needs a hit to prove her relevancy. We know she has the talent, so let's see if the pop landscape embraces her. Personally... I love this song. Definitely my favorite single from her in a long time. Her label needs to get it on iTunes ASAP, before the demo leak kills its early momentum. I always find myself rooting for her, in spite of her obvious flaws.

Anyone else Team Xtina?
