Overview Edit

"Dirrty" is a song performed by American singer Christina Aguilera featuring rapper Reggie "Redman" Noble. The song was written by Aguilera and Redman along with Jasper Cameron, Balewa Muhammad, and Rockwilder for Aguilera's second studio album Stripped (2002). It received mixed reviews from music critics.

"Dirrty" was released in September 2002 as the album's lead single (see 2002 in music). It was unsuccessful in the U.S., only reaching number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it was successful outside the U.S., cracking the Top 10 of 17 countries and topping the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart. "Dirrty" was nominated for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals" at the 45th Grammy Awards.

The song is best remembered for its accompanying music video, for which Aguilera was allowed creative control. The video brought her sexuality to the forefront and depicted various sexual fetishes, from mud wrestling to sthenolagnia. It eliminated the teenybopper, "girl next door" image that she had accumulated from her previous work.

5 stars Christina Aguilera gets "dirrty"!
Despite the much controversy surrounding this song, "Dirrty" is a great hip-hop song and might even be one of Christina Aguilera's best. This CD single is a must for all those who love "Dirrty". Here are the listed tracks:

1.) "Dirrty" ['No Rap' Edit] ~ this version of the song is okay, but it doesn't have the rap part in it, which is a good part of the song. 3/5 stars

2.) "I Will Be" ~ nice bonus song! I like it. 4/5 stars

3.) "Dirrty" ~ now here's the radio version! You all have heard it. This…

What is happening, holy crap what is she doing?.This song lacks everything. A good sound, beat and it hasn't even got a chorus. I think she's talented and has a wonderful voice and her previous stuff has been good so why not continue that way. Christina clearly want to to look more mature in her music, but this is not the right thing to do, and indroducing b-rapper Redman doesn't make the thing better. Avoid this and wait for better times.
