I left the movie, came home and immediately ordered the CD. I've been playing it on repeat and love it!! Instant high without any downside : ) For those who care I'm 50. I knew a couple of Christiana's songs but could be called a fan. I thought she was OUTSTANDING in the movie and on the soundtrack. Cher? Well there's a reason she's known worldwide by her first name only. She's in a class all her own and and inspiration to young and old alike!!!

What's up with all the flack this movie's been getting from critics? It's absolutely dazzling! This has to be one of the best musicals of the past decade. The musical numbers are phenomenal, the costumes are fabulous, and Christina is just marvelous. I've always known she was a great talent but I think this movie is just what she needed to showcase that talent. Her acting was good, her dancing was on point and what can I say about that voice? I'm not a fan of Cher but I really enjoyed her in this movie. Christina and her have great chemistry. The love story was also really cute. I'm salivating for this to come out on DVD/blu-ray so I can watch it over and over again!

Written by Xtina and producer Scott Storch, Fighter is a rock track dedicated to all of the backstabbers and naysayers who ever put the diva down with vicious remarks. Rather than simply lashing out in anger, she thanks them for their failed attempts. "After all that you put me through/You think I'd despise you/But in the end I wanna thank you/Cuz you've made me that much stronger!"

A big "thank you" to the so called friends who "were there by my side/Always down for the ride" until "your joy ride just came down in flames/Cuz your greed sold me out in shame." All of the pain led to her to realize that it "made me learn a little bit faster/Made my skin a little bit thicker/Makes me that much smarter/So thanks for making me a fighter!

The middle of the song allegedly addresses Christina's former manager Steve Kurtz: "How could this man I thought I knew/Turn out to be unjust, so cruel?/Could only see the good in you/Pretended not to know the truth/You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself/Through living in denial/But in the end you'll see YOU-WONT-STOP-ME!"

The video is gothic and artsy with Aguilera being held down in a glass box until she breaks free and drives the theme of survival home. It also debuted her spicy black hair look. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you threaten to wallow in self-pity, listen to this song and get your armor on. "So thanks for making me a fighter!"
