Here is what she had to say:

Linda: Her and I are funny together -- we're like sumo wrestlers. We both want to win the match, so in the process of battling each other we just laugh the whole time. She wants to be strong, but I'm way stronger than she realizes [laughs]. I love her dearly though. She has so much to offer and as a musician, she's really changing things up, which I love.
PW: She does strike me as someone who refuses to rest on her laurels.
Linda: Absolutely. [Like on her new album, "Bionic"], she's toning it down a lot. Everybody knows that Christina can sing, but I've been telling her that she doesn't have to blow horns off every day. So she's venturing out of her comfort zone and going more electronic, working with Sia, Lady Tron and MIA as producers.
PW: Was it hard for her to turn the dial down?
Linda: I think for Christina, not singing full out is probably the most vulnerable, insecure place for her. So to tone it down and not hit the big notes, that's a really touchy place for her. But I think it's great that she's doing it and taking herself there. Maybe she isn't reinventing the wheel, but you gotta admit, she's always trying something different. Best of all, she's doing it for herself.
