Count me among those who doesn’t think she has a good body. It is all long and weird-looking. All she is is skinny. She doesn’t have a very nice shape. And her face…yuk! What’s up with the raccoon eyes and the dark roots? Britney Spears, on the other hand, has a lovely figure. Her face is okay, but I find her a little bit plain. I can see why guys are attracted to Britney…but Christina? I just don’t get it.
Oh, Britney and Christina. How I hate these women. Place them next to Mandy Moore and Jessica Simpson on the train to hell. I cannot stand them. I abhore them. The idea of them breathing makes me want to vomit.
I don’t care if they’re skinny and beautiful. Britney, at least, has a nice body, although she’s sort of plain. The others look like ten year old, prepubescent children - not too sexy. I mean, when Britney stripped at the MTV awards, my jaw dropped. I may not be a lesbian, but I thought she looked pretty hot.
No, I don’t care about that at all. It has much more to do with the fact that these women are loved and adored by millions of teenage girls, who wil then think, “Gee, I can be dumber than asphalt and still be rich! I can waddle around in my undies and training bra and have millions of 40 year old men ogle me! I can get by on my looks and not worry about being smart at all!” I hate that. C.A. is about as dumb as you can get without being a one-celled organism. B.S. just smiles and nods and looks confused. These women are STUPID. They are DUMB. They do not sing WELL. Yet they make millions. This is not setting a good example for all the little girls playing with their Britney dolls.
People complain about the dumbing down of society, but look who the hell the role models are! Emmylou Harris, there’s a role model. Etta James, there’s a singer. Eartha Kitt, there’s a sexy woman. But these little girls just look like they’re playing dress-up.
And they really need to hire new stylists. Ish! Black roots went out in 1985! So did tube tops! Blech!
With the exception of the OP, who explained how she came to be exposed to the screetching audio roller-coaster, what are you all listening to that exposes you to this bubblegum pap?
This is the music that allowances are spent on. Listen to grown-up stations! Buy CDs and tapes!
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a full number from either of our aforementioned nubile screetchtresses.
I’ve heard all of Christina’s Christmas tunes (and quite a few of Britney’s, as well) at work. They play nonstop Christmas music, and every tenth song is either Christina or Britney.
Also, I like the music played on the stations that plays this tripe - they also play a lot of R&B and cool rock like Lenny Kravitz. I usually change the station when the girlies start caterwauling.
The adult stations around here are boring. And even VH1 plays “What a Girl Wants”!
Plus, when the tween explosion first occurred, it was sort of like watching a plane fall from the sky - you had to look. I watched some videos. I shrieked and gasped in horror. I ran away from the TV and set my head on fire.
I can’t even watch HBO without seeing this tweenie bullshit. :rolleyes: I am so embarrassed to be 19.
Poor baby! Welcome to my world, where being short (okay, medium height, but with short legs) and real fat is known by all except SqrlCub to be ugly.
Actually, I rather like tall and skinny. My people call it “willowy.” Willowy Welfy can be your new name.
As for the OP, I heard that song last night while using the bathroom and unable to escape in time. I hated those arpeggios when Whitney Houston started it and I hate them now, althiugh Ms A’s voice lacks Ms Houston’s peculiarly piercing high notes. The girl could shatter Lexan.
Speaking of Christina, one of my cousins went to dance school with her. She said, “she was a good dancer, but didn’t have a very good voice, or it wasn’t very good compared to the other people’s there.” Also she mentioned, “she was a total bitch and nobody liked her.”
Hmmph.
Anyway I’m waiting to see the E! true hollywood story on either Britney or Christina.
Christina really is a bitch. I have met that horrible tween popstar. She made me wish she would throw her pink hair, racoon eyed self from the stage. I was working (EMT) at Summerfest when ol’ Chestina came to our ampitheater. Seems the poor girl tripped over her ridiculusly high heels on the route to her bathroom in her dressing room. She twisted her wrist and skinned her palm catching herself as she fell. My partner and I get a radio call from security about there being an emergency backstage and we hear this hysterical screaming in the background. Im thinking someone is dying and when we get there she is just wailing at the top of her lungs, demonstrating ALL her vocal capabilites. With this wittle itty bitty scrape on her palm. First she screams harder when I put gloves on hiccuping that she doesn’t like gloves. And then when I am putting the big bandaid on her hand she asks if she it is going to be OK… and I drily reply that I don’t think I will have to cut her hand off.
Two days later I get a reprimand from my boss about caring for important patients. Seems that Little Miss Congienality almost refused to go on because I made fun of her and wouldn’t take off my gloves when they upset her.( Sorry, I don’t risk blood born pathogens for many )
It depends on what you mean by tall and skinny. If you’re over 6’ and weight less than 100lbs, you might consider an extra helping of mashed potatoes for Sunday dinner, but be comfortable with yourself and be healthy.
If you’re less than 5’ and weigh more than 200lbs, you might consider skipping the potatoes, but that’s just an opinion. Anything in between is fine with me.
Of course, my favorite line when admiring a slender woman is “Gee…she needs some meat on her bones. How about me? Nyuk nyuk nyuk.”
It gets worse…
Christina/Britney/Jessica/Faith/Destinyschild are not my favorite singers; however I would rather listen to Christina than to Mariah or Whitney, although she’s getting there. Don’t mind looking at any of them and would pay many American $ to meditate on their navels.
No no! Skinny can be very nice. Wish I were skinnier. But skinny does not necessarily equal “good figure.” Christina Aguilera is certainly skinny, but IMHO, she does not have a good figure.
Geez, someone ought to sit that girl down and make her watch the infamous hepatitis video. And someone should make your boss should watch it thrice. That’s unbelievable.
I heard this story third hand, so it’s probably exaggerated. However, talking to people who went to high school with Aguilera, they relate that the girl thinks her ass is a gold mine.
My cousin’s friend is a waiter at Don Pablos. One evening, there was a group of girls there, one of them complaining that the place was tooo cold, and couldn’t they turn up the heat? (in a very snotty tone.) My cousin’s friend said no, and she was like, “Do you even KNOW who I AM?” several times, in fact. He just ignored her, waving her off…only to be told after she left that Miss Too-Cold Atitude Brat was Christina Aguilera.
All the stuff about being picked on in high school is bullshit. I’m from Pittsburgh, remember, and Aguilera’s hometown of Wexford is right next to mine, Allison Park. I know plenty of people in college who went to school with her. Accordingly, she walked around in her Mickey Mouse Club jacket, with her nose in the air and snubbing people.
They said her mother is a bitch too.
(Although, I DO like how she told people that Eminem shouldn’t be writing songs about killing his wife.)
I don’t find slender women “ugly”. However, this cyclic trend among some younger women toward an almost emaciated or “anorexic” appearance is IMO disturbing. I personally don’t find these “super-skinny” (in the wording of my post) women attractive. And no, I am not saying Christina is anorexic, but to me she is damn thin.
The cultural reasons for such a “look” being popular are for a different thread.
I certainly wasn’t trying to offend any slender posters.
So, Christina and Britney’s looks and talent are all you people have against them? Thats pretty damn shallow. I can see if they did something really tragic, like killing kittens, or burglerizing blind people’s houses, then I would totally sympathize. But to hold their talent and appearances against them? Thats ignorant. Ignorant of the fact that they are also people. Besides, look at how much money these girls are making. Wouldn’t you dress like that for millions of dollars? And don’t say “no” because you’d be lying to me, and yourself for that matter.
Let me clarify perhaps… Christina’s vampy looks and horrendous caterwauling are the absolute least of my dislikes sk8rixx.
I thought I was clear about that but let me spell it out.
She was an annoying hysterical child who was freaking out because of a tiny hand scrape. THEN she felt irritated enough becasue I would not risk getting some blood born disease from her trampy self.
Possibly you could have bitten your tongue about the amputation (though I would have been at least tempted to say the same thing, and in fact have said nearly the same thing to my husband). However, I don’t think that your boss should have written you up for refusing to take off your gloves. I don’t think that you should have to risk blood born pathogens for ANYBODY in the line of work. If you want to exchange bodily fluids with friends and lovers, that’s one thing. But I don’t think you should be required to take unreasonable risks if you’re on the job. In fact, I think you should be commended. If you don’t catch infections, you won’t spread them as easily, right?
Is it just me or does Christina Aguilera look like she could beat Jesse Ventura in a knife fight? She just looks like trailer park trash.
Britney, OTOH, has all the personality of my old Barbie Dolls.
I can’t wait for the VH-1 stories in 10 years of " Behind the Scenes " with either of them and we get to hear the depravity and orgies that no one ever knew about.
