In Christina Aguilera’s “Candyman” video, my wife thinks that all three gals in the white suits are Christina. I can’t tell. Does anybody know?
Your wife is right.
That was quick and helpful. Thank you.
I think I could spend half the day watching and listening to that. I love it.
While I liked her “Dirrty” phase (not the chaps part, but the tougher “don’t fuck with me” attitude), I am PLEASANTLY surprised how sucessful her “new” image is. I thought people were going to dismiss her when she left her bad-girl phase behind.
And isn’t it weird how she’s the darling of the media now and her biggest contender, Britney Spears, is a public laughingstock?
No, not weird at all, actually… apart from the small detail that Ms. Aguilera can actually sing, it is to be entirely expected insofar as she went through and got past the “bad girl phase”, proceeding to grow up. It’s the ones that become stuck in GGW mode way past the cuteness date that become laughingstocks – and the way BS was so huge in media projection and attention back in both their teen-pop-tart days pretty much placed Ms. Spears at the greater risk of that.
Spears may have been bigger in her hay-day, but Aguilera has certainly won the game.
I would think that Avril Lavign or Pink would be more of a contender. Unless you don’t count them because Britney and Xtina are more R&B/Dance pop and the other two are kind of psuedo sk8tr chick-punk pop.
That was a deliciously filthy little song. Me likes it.
Aguilera appears to have taken control of her image at an early point in her career. She changed her image to the “dirrty girl” and then when that started get old she changed it to something else. Too many pop stars get a popular image and refuse to give it up until it’s too late - the performer becomes linked to the image and when the image becomes a joke the performer’s career is destroyed with it. The long-termers like David Bowie or Madonna know you have to keep the current image distinct from your overall career.
I’ll agree with most of the posters above, this song is quite dandy and the video is HOT. I just love the retro Christina.
