Lil Kim held the corwn for 6 years, but the new **Skank Queen** is Christina Aguillara, thanks in part to here appearence in the _Lady Marmalarde_ video and her new _Dirty_ video. Sorry, Christiana, but you need to be hosed down, much like Hawkeye & BJ in that _MASH_ episode. Agree, disagree, don’t give a fried rats ass? ---

Agree – besides the fact that her “singing” sucks, she is major skank. ---

Her new **Dirty** video will effectively end her career. Watch. There’s a chance I’m wrong but I don’t think so. ---

Wowza. I just went over to the MTV site and watched that video, and I both gotta agree that it is extremely skanky and add in a personal “DA-YAM!! WHOOO!” Dude, Christina grabbing her crotch, thrusting her hips and talking about getting off, with much moaning and such. I’m down. Plus the really obvious blowjob shot when the sweaty dudes put the water bottle in her mouth… my favorite part is they show her spitting it out… note to self: Christina doesn’t swallow. ---

Gotta disagree. It will take [more](http://image.pathfinder.com/who/specials/mtv/lil-kimstefanifunny.jpg) than a [skanky](http://www.toots.co.uk/images/06701.gif) video or two to steal the [crown](http://www.rapindustry.com/lilkimx.jpg) from [Lil Kim.](http://www.iol.co.za/html/whatson/grammy02/images/hughlilkim.jpg) ---

Posted by **Monstre** : “Agree – besides the fact that her “singing” sucks, she is major skank.” I’d have to disagree with the singing part. I think she’s one of the few among her contemporaries/competitors that actually _can_ sing. That having been said, it’s a shame that Christina, or her managers as the case may be, have chosen to follow the path to skankdom. She sings well enough and is pretty enough to have succeeded by taking the high road. Given recent events, **mayberrydan** may well be correct in stating that she is finished. I for one regret her descent into skankdom because at one point she did have a promising future. ---

I dunno, I’m as into girl parts as the next red-blooded hetero guy, but watching that video was like an ice-cold shower that still left me feeling dirty afterwards. It’s like the exact opposite of a turn-on. Maybe I’ve just seen too much of Miss Aguilera outside of her videos so I’m always conscious of how obnoxious she is – she can wave her pudenda in my face\* all she wants, but I’m constantly reminded how she does the diva thing with her hand when she sings, and how she talks like a suburban white girl trying to sound black. - borrowed that phrase from Michael Nelson’s essay about Shania Twain, probably the best thing he’s ever written next to “the sharpei-faced Tommy Lee Jones” ---

Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t find her sexy or alluring at all. It’s like she’s grown tired of earth-people and is now attempting to appeal to a strictly theoretical type of being. ---

I used to really respect Christina…I mean, here was a girl who could actually sing and was able to do so and look attractive without being disgusting. Now, I have definately changed my mind. I loved Genie in a Bottle and What a Girl Wants, even Come on Over, but this is getting ridiculous. She needs to cover up. My biggest worry is that impressionable young girls are going to begin dressing like her. Just watching some of the elementary and middle schoolers, their clothing style changes with each new music video. I’m 15, but I do not allow myself to be influenced that much by music videos. However, other people are more easily influenced. ---

Nothing happens when I click on the video at the MTV site. I don’t have java enabled - is that the problem? How would I temporarily change settings to make this run, using IE 6.0? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-official-theres-a-new-skank-queen-in-town/134130.md?page=2)
