The new-look glamorous Christina Aguilera in action on stage delighting crowds

Don’t worry, she may have glammed herself up all 40s style but Christina Aguilera is still dirrty enough to make Jordan blush.

Gone is the in-your-face overt sexuality and in its place is something much more subtle, with glamour replacing tartiness.

She’s definitely got one of the best voices in the business - much better than Britney and Justin - and going back to basics is an inspired decision.

Kicking off with Ain’t No Man set the tone for much of the show.

There were lots of costume changes, although the less said about the red sequins the better. And most of the outfits had skirts only she could pull off.

As an entertainer, she’s a mile away from the days of Genie in a Bottle, which was not performed here. But there was enough to remind of the Christina of old, as she pointed out in one track, dragging on a pair of fishnets and telling everyone she’s still a bit dirrty and a bit nasty.
