Fighter

Generally my music taste is fairly broad in that I like a bit of everything, but the majority of stuff I really like would be identified as alternative, the stuff that really touches and inspires me, so alot of people find it odd just how much I love Christina Aguilera. I've always thought she was extremely talented but that her music wasn't really for me. But then a year ago her song Fighter came on my itunes shuffle and I read about her childhood and about how she lived with domestic abuse and I went back and listened to her Stripped and Back to Basics albums and realised how great they are.
I not only now admire her talent as a vocalist, I also admire the way she takes risks with her career, the way she doesn't give a shit what people think of her and the fact that shes done so well for herself given her childhood. Not only is she successful as a musician shes also a loving wife and mother, something that many people who've experienced domestic abuse find hard to do.

Walking away from an abusive relationship is hard and people who haven't experienced it will never understand how hard and they say that as soon as you walk away you stop being a victim and start being a survivor. And as cheesy as it sounds Christina's music helped me to stop being a victim and for that reason, as well as many others, I think she's awesome, no matter what perez hilton or anyone else might say!
