Christina Aguilera is still reminding the world of their beauty! On Wednesday, the 41-year-old singer premiered «Beautiful (2022 Version),» which is a reimagined version of the video from her 2002 hit.The new music video for «Beautiful,» directed by Fiona Jane Burges, takes a modern approach yet has the same inspiring message, as various groups of young people hold phones as a reflection of today's obsession with social media. Aguilera does not appear in the video, but rather a host of young people who are affected by the pressures that come with social media.
The video features a group of young dancers who hold phones while they put on makeup in front of a ring light; a young woman who sits in an empty room surrounded by images of beautiful women and contemplates breast surgery; a young man who stares at an older, much bigger man lifting weights; a girl who stands in front of a vending machine full of diet supplements and makeup tools; a group of girls who sit in a plastic surgeon's office; and a young man who sits alone in a mental health facility, surrounded by pills. In the end, the subjects find their beauty as some of them sing the lyric «We are beautiful,» while they strip off surgery gowns, wipe away the makeup, and play in a field full of flowers. The video ends with a harsh message that reminds the viewer just how much things have changed since the release of the original video two decades ago. “In the last 20 years since was released, social media has transformed our relationship with our bodies, and in turn, our mental health," the words over a cellphone that leaks blood reads. «Research suggests that time spent on social networking sites is associated with body images issues, self-harm and disordered eating
