Christina Aguilera pulls out another ballad bound for the top of the charts.
"Hurt," the second single from Christina Aguilera's already gold album Back to Basics, is one weeper of a ballad. From the slow opening to a soft piano all the way to the spine-tingling bridge, "Hurt" chronicles the pain and regret one can feel after losing someone they love. But what's great about the song is it's so much more than the standard, stock loved-and-lost ballad.…

Don't listen to the haters who actually take time out of there day to sit down and write about how much they dislike christina. Anyone who says christina is "talentless" is obviously jealous that they are not as gifted as her. What losers!

I would just like to say something about Christina Aguilera’s HURT video. What an incredible song. I see many of you here putting her down. I see many of you here comparing her talent with other talented artists. Beyonce, Timberlake and others are very talented people. Just consider how many people sing out there. This HURT video was especially excellent for me. I had a chance to be on the set for a couple days while they shot it. You see, my daughter played the young Ms. Aguilera. When I saw the video I could not hold back the tears. She looked like an angel and she and Ms. Aguilera had a great time. It was awesome to see how they put this video together. Some say instant classic. I agree. All I can say is that Christina Aguilera is a blessing. My young daughters acting career will certainly be boosted because of her. May God continue to richly bless her, her family, and her future endeavors. David

Christina not only has talent she IS talent!!! being able to use her vocals amazingly at a very early age is by far outstanding for a little girl! she doesn't only sings she masters it! she is the only artist in the last decade that sings, produces, writes, and performes her songs! she is the best! christina not only sings what she writes she writes songs with meaning! she writes about her past, her love, her marriage. most of her songs actually have points to them apposed to most artists these days.(not saying i don't enjoy other artist). but christina is the best thing since sliced bread! i love you! both her stripped and back to basics(which is the best album our society has seen in a LONG time!) she wrote some pretty deep lyrics which maybe not to all but to people who know what talent is and can point it out...that girl has plenty of talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with you A. L. Harper. Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton and Beyonce are talentless crap and don't get me started on Jennifer Lopez. I used to hate christina and i still think she is a pile of shite but i like some of her new album and Hurt isn't a bad song, I cant stop playing it!

Hurt is an amazing song filled with emotion and soul. For all the people who say that she dosent have talent, you are obviously jealous because you dont have any real talent. Back to Basics is an album that reminds us that their is some true talent nowadays.However i felt stripped was better. The video is spectacular! and i cannot wait to see her in concert! That women knows how to command a stage.

Christina has talent! and HURT is my favorite song on her album. I almost cried when I first heard it, its that moving...BUT, for an artist like christina who has had great success with albums in the past, to only be gold and to sell very few albums in her first week it was out is a big downfall for her. I'm not saying this album did bad(i think hurt will help it more) but compared to sales of her first 2 this one so far is a flop.

Who is the actor who playing Christina's father?
Remind me much of Ed Harris, but I doubt.

Christina Aguilera is an absolute legend. She had a hard childhood yet she didn't let that stop her from fullfilling her dreams. All you haters out there, get over it. If you don't like her then don't comment. 'Hurt' is an amazing song and nobody can deny Christina is one talented girl. I love 'Hurt' I play it over and over again. If i could sing like anyone in the world, i'd want a voice like hers. I love Christina she's such an awesome girl she stands up for what she believes in and isnt intimidated by anybody.

The HURT video "DAD" name is Tim and he is from Ireland. The little "Christina" is my daughter "Laci Kay" and is really awesome as you can see. The both hit it off well and Ms Aguilera blessed them both. David

Song of the Year so far for me. This is just a terrific, moving ballad.
39 - Keri
The song "hurt" has touched me very much. She has put so much feeling and emotion into this song. In many ways this song has made me think about things in my life and how this song reminds me of it. Its a beautiful song!

for all those people that say christina aguilera has no talent. i really think she does i would really like to see you guys get up and do what she can i bet more than half of you guys sound like crap not to be mean but she is very talented and don't compare her to people that rap either that is two different genres which should never be compared. shes talented and her new song hurt is awesome i would kill to be in concert for her and that song

Ok all you haters should stop right there. Who cares about album flops or writting music or not or range. You all know that Christina can sing!! You might not like the way she sings because maybe you are into rock or classical. But theres no way you can sit there and say she just has no talent!! Thats just crazy!!! And ABBY!!! How on EARTH can you put Paris Hilton and Mariah Carey in the same catagory???? Or JLo and Beyonce??? Have you even heard beyonce live? Well I have and I think all you haters should really just do your research before you just say that something sucks!
I am a music lover that means I love all (yes all) types of music, I give all music a chance From Rock to R&B. And another thing, Christina Is not a POP singer she's a SOUL singer!!! Thank You and everyone please just give music a chance, try to listen to another artist cd for a change, you might feel different about your opinion.

Christina has an amazing voice, with perfect pitch, great control, etc etc. I am a singer, musician and have a degree in music. So I can back it up when I say this girl has it going on. She had the courage to reinvent herself, when she was not happy doing the simple music. Good for her, and the song Hurt GREAT Song, I want to learn to play it on the piano and sing it.

pjesma mi se pravo sviđa a i christina ima divan glas!!! pozzzzzzzzzzzz

Hurt is a wonderfully moving song and Christina did a great job interpreting it. I can't help but feel sad for Linda Perry (who wrote it) and the loss of her father. Kudos to both Christina and Linda for their collaboration. This one's a winner.

This song is very touching to the soul. It tells you that someone will always be in your life and sometimes the people that you love the most will be gone without a trace and you have to cherish every moment you have with them for as long as you can.

Hey Clavvy, look ^ there's two of me!!

Some people really need a hug. For some unknown reason some of these bloggers have a large amount of hate within themselves towards a person they do not even know...kinda sad...really sad. Until you people meet her or until you become as famous and talented as she is, I'd stop ranting and raving;) Have a great day

Hurt sounds like a ripoff to me, but I can't place the song that the melody is from.
52 - Iran
I really consider Hurt song as an absolute hit in her career, you can feel the sadness she shows when performing that video, I really love it, her voice, her authentical style, besides, I should have to say that she's behaving like a mature woman and a singer characterised by her voice power, being famous and outstanding by means of her work not triumphing by scandals like Britney Spears. My god, she's also a gorgeous woman, she looks so sensual that I feel excited.
53 - jem
the song reaches out to alot of people and brilliant to sing along to.

christina sucks she tries so hard and still sucks and hurt is a big FLOP christina herself is a flop she should burry her ugly face in mud for releasing such a boring album
the track listing is:
1- welcome to the circus of stupid whore
2-welcome again
3-scooda whoo scooda hey (you wish)
4- the biggest flop
5- I suck at even troubles
6- some cheesy striptease song
7- have mercy on me and compare me to marilyn monroe just once
8- save me from the make up
9- the ugly groom
when i bought this boring thing i really though about suing her for wasting 1 hour of my life
and that's for CD no. 2
about CD no. 1 :D i just can't imagine how she could be so damn stupid to release such a boring-to-death CD OMG it egoistic in a stupid way, in one song she wants to prove to the world that she is Princess Diana and every one is thankful for her being dirrty and that she is the genie in a bottle who changed the world, in another 2 she proves how hateful she is by dissing her "abusive father" (this explains so much!) and some guy named scott who is reponsible for her now-dead success,then she wants to prove to the world that she married Mr. right and that she has a perfect life, then she disses the current STARS and praises the dead and the old coz they can't compete with her
she is pathatic

Christina is Awsomee! =D

Pure vocal beauty. As a singer, writer and composer who plays guitar, piano and violin, I feel I am critical. Hurt has made tears come down my face. When you can do that, you have touch people with what comes from your soul.

well i've just read a lot opinions about christina. i just wanna remind you that - whatever you might think - she´s been successful for at least 15 years! and apart from make-up (well, i dont wanna know how much she's already used in her life...must be tons!)which shes definitely using too much and from her desire for looking and acting like marilyn monroe (you have to admit that she knows how to do that! ) she definitely is one of the best singers the world has ever seen..of course, there are many many singers who got a great voice ( like leona lewis, for example..) but almost none of them is as recognizable as christina's. of course, the lady´s got some quirks and of course she's a diva but she has still got fans and these are not sparse..what i want you (the guys who think christina is a wh*re or whatever) to think about is why do you have to expose her in these rude ways if shes simply a better singer, a more beautiful woman, a more successful human being and a more popular girl than you?!
remember this, you dont wanna be closed down like this just because you´re good at something and try to improve yourself...
i think her cd is great and has got some style baby..

Lol at Christina fans. There were like maybe at best, THREE people attacking Christina in this whole thread, and in response we get like 18 fanbots raging on about some supposed big plethora of "haters", lmao.
Heres's the deal: If X-Tina detractors weren't allowed to post here, they would have been banished. People are entitled to dislike her, and to publicly voice as much. I think she's totally contrived and unoriginal, with an overrated, ear-sore of a singing voice, who disgraces the name classic Hollywood/40s-50s music culture with her laughable attempts at emulation(the equivalent of a prepubescent schoolgirl dressed in her mother's gowns and make-up). Disagree all you want, it doesn't make you anymore in the 'right'.
