With music as enduring as Christina Aguilera‘s, the messaging is ever-resonating.
Case in point empowerment anthem ‘Beautiful.’
The soaring classic is housed on the songbird’s game-changing ‘Stripped’ album – for which she is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary.
As part of the festivities (which includes the release of a commemorative edition), Aguilera has unwrapped a new video for ‘Beautiful.’ One centered on the impact of social media.
Watch after the jump…
Speaking on the release, Xtina said:
“We are Beautiful, no matter what they say ❤️ A message I will always stand by and a message I prioritize to instill in my own children through every chapter of their lives!Today, it’s harder than ever to hear our own voice amongst so many others infiltrating our feeds and minds with mixed messaging… ultimately leading us to tune-out our own truth and self worth.
The original ‘’Beautiful” video set out to bring awareness and a sense of compassion in the face of judgment, criticism, and outside opinions. It still carries an important message to remember our core values outside of what’s being fed to us…to find a sense of balance and accepting ourselves for who we are.”
Kudos to Christina for continuing to use her platform to propagate necessary messages.

The new video did nothing to the classic song. So unnecessary!
Shame she didn’t practice the same messages towards her female colleagues, on contrary often shady and vitriolic comments. Mariah put her in her place.
The statement vocalist. I still cry listening to this song and the new video was just as powerful but for the new generation.
Amazing video.
