:actually, right before she adopted cow-status, she used to be so skinny that people thought she was indeed anorexic or maybe bulimic. In the business she is in, it is almost an unwritten law to not be overweighted if you body build doesnt allow it. When aguilera once stated that she was exposing her "womanhood" or something like that, when she released stripped, no one believe it, no one was THAT stupid, everyone knew that if all else fails, then go slutty, it works all the time (there is a history of that in music artists). Is it important, only if you believe in Aguilera is just a face... considering shes a pop singer, then she is both just a face and a singer (more of a face than a singer, thats how the pop business is).
