Pop legend, singer-song writer Christina Aguilera has a new look and new songs on her current "Back To Basics,” tour. The album, of the same name, has sold over more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, which was nominated for the Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy Award, and the lead single from the album, "Ain't No Other Man", won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award. Hew new sound and stage show is described as a throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues, and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist. Here she is electrifying audiences at the Xcel Energy Center. Other stops on the tour include Wachovia Center, The Palace and the Dunkin Donuts Center  (photograph by Tony Nelson)
