Christina Aguilera Vs. Lady Gaga
Okay, let me start by saying I'm a huge Christina Aguilera fan, as well as being a Lady Gaga fan. Now, all these Xtina Gaga comparisons are nonsense. If that were the case, you would have to compare Alicia Keys and Beyonce etc. etc. Christina Aguilera has been in the industry for 10+ years, sold millions of records, and let's be honest, has probably THE best voice of our time. Now, Gaga is extremely talented and deserves all of her success; but she is not ORIGINAL. Gaga was inspired by many people including Aguilera, Grace Jones and the Queen B Madonna. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's impossible to be original anymore, what matters is how we take who inspires us and make it our own, and Gaga has done that well, probably better than most. Also, NOBODY owns a fashion, you can't dress similar to someone else without being accused of ripping off them, that's pure bullshit. Christina Aguilera re-invents herself all the time, did we all forget about the huge stir she caused when she brought out the assless chaps? This is yet another version of herself. Aguilera has 5 grammy's to back up her success as well as an amazing voice. Perez Hilton is a huge instigator of this whole drama and only tells one side of the story. For example, Bionic debuted at #3 this week only having sold 112,000 copies. This is true, but let's look at it realistically and factually, album sales are on a downward slump and have been for quite some time now. Also, The Fame Monster debuted at #5 its first week out having sold 170,000 copies, and The Fame debuted at #17. So yes, Aguilera didn't have great success but the number one record sale this week was the Glee album and it only sold about 150,000 copies where as in the Fame Monsters first week the number one album (Susan Boyle -___-) sold 700,000 copies. These are facts, numbers don't lie. Truth be told we can like both, it doesn't have to be either or, so let's stop hating on one or the other. Either way, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga will both continue to have success. Also, Xtina is 100x prettier than Gaga... just sayin mother fuckers.
