Recently, Christina Aguilera made headlines for her "epic comeback," but fans definitely hadn't written her off. Though she had a hiatus from music, she was busy doing other things -- including raising a family and pursuing other creative avenues.

But fans say that Christina's career evolution makes sense and that she's right where she needs to be musically and professionally.

Fans Say Christina Made Her Own Way

Most fans agree that Christina Aguilera really made her career her own. From refusing to change her last name for fame to releasing albums when and how she felt like, to taking her daughter on tour with her, Aguilera's entire path has been pretty unique.

But fans also say that she's taken some risks along the way, even though they seem to have paid off. As one fan pointed out, "She's a singer who takes time to craft an album."

While that hasn't stopped more rabid followers from creeping on her social media to demand more music, true fans appreciate that Christina takes her time. But is that always the best move career-wise?

Christina Aguilera Took Some Serious Career Risks

She's arguably one of the most famous artists ever, but Christina has taken some serious career risks. Though she's always bounced back from the lows in her path, fans point to the "risks" the songstress took with her album 'Bionic.'

At the same time, her divorce and a film ('Burlesque') that didn't add much to her resume also brought Aguilera down, say commenters. But despite her tour and promotion for 'Bionic' being canceled, Christina came back in other ways.

Even those who are more critical of Aguilera can admit "her legacy and reputation have recovered nicely" and that the star has matured since her earlier speak-the-truth persona. She's tamer in person these days, and more rehearsed, but it's intentional, fans say.

Fans Say Xtina Is "An Icon Of The Noughties"

Though she's had plenty of 'modern' works, fans seem to agree that Xtina was mostly an "icon of the noughties," and that her biggest hits may be behind her. But strategic collabs with other artists have ensured she keeps receiving award nominations, even when she hasn't released albums of her own.

And that's part of why fans think Christina is so great; she has changed with the times, tweaks her career for maximum exposure, and still doesn't fall into popular trends or illusions like others in Hollywood.

Fans are also happy to see Christina enjoying a healthy family life, especially after all the drama with her ex-husband. In short, her comeback is an all-over comeback, not just a professional one.
