Not herself at all.

Christina Aguilera's new single "Not Myself Tonight" is a prime example of an artist adapting to the market. Christina's been out of the music scene for a while; her last album came out in 2006. Her new album is scheduled for release this June.

I'm not really a fan of hers. I mean, girl can SING, but I don't really like her stuff. Even so, I'm a little appalled by her sudden shift in musical style. Back when she and Britney Spears were fresh out of the Mickey Mouse club, she made a move to be the grungier, wilder of the two so they wouldn't be competing for the same demographic. She kept singing stuff, though. Like actually singing stuff, not just speaking at a set pitch like Ke$ha and Britney do. Well now, I guess she's realized that little teeny boppers like the monotonous, repetitive, dance pop fluff stuff. And so she decided to cash in.
