Depending on how it was executed it could be anything from just plain stupid to amazingly amusing as a parody of the pop queens to genuinely sexy for those who are into guys. It wouldn’t be wrong just because it was a guy being dirty.
Personally I think that Christina just can’t wear skank right. Her actions don’t outrage me. Hell if the video was her getting done by various animals I’d just chortle at it but wouldn’t be outraged. They make me think she’s a bit pathetic and sad and that she utterly failed if she set out to make the video erotic.
This video had raised my panty fetish.
And I would do her in a red hot minute… of course, I would hope she’d stick around for the second show, it would last longer than that minute, but still.
who cares how she acts in a video? It’s acting. Nicole Kidman whored around in a group orgy in “Eyes Wide Shut” but nobody called her a skank for it. Sheesh people, get off the bandwagon.
And yes, like Pink I think Aguilera can sing, but doesn’t… at least not on the singles. That’s too bad.
and yet… she didn’t. She actually did a quite credible job with a sad bluesy (tho obviously self-indulgent) number full of impressive vocal gymnastics.
That said- I was appalled by “Dirrty”- lyrically & video-wise- I don’t mind pop naughtiness but this was just icky. And she’s been going on about this project being more self-directed & less restrained my management or studio control.
I saw an old MTV-VHS documentary on her a few weeks ago in which she spoke of consulting with her Catholic priest when starting her career.
Why do I think her days of consulting with clergy are over (along with Britney’s keeping a prayer journal)? And might it not be a good time for each of them to pick back up on those? S
“Ms Aquilera, we just got a call back from the Monsignor. He says the red panties are okay, but you’ll have to lose the fishnet top. And the Bishop needs to see the Rolling Stone test shots by Tuesday, if he’s going to sign off on nipple exposure.”
Asking them to turn down the AC-supposedly, from someone my cousin knows who works at Don Pablos, she asked them to do that, and when he refused, she kept saying, “Do you even know who I am?”
He didn’t, and he told her he didnt’ give a shit. When someone told him, he laughed and called her a bitch. HA!!!
(I know, I know, FOAF…but the AC story-it seems she does that a lot-plus it was right around here-and she’s from here).
I think you guys are off on calling this new move a reaction to “Slave 4 U”. I think she’s trying to ensure that she’s not wiped off the map with Britney when she’s replaced by the bullshit queen Avril Lavigne and her type - the so-called “DIY” manufactured pap stars.
Christina! She’s bad! She’s down and dirty and real, and she hates pretty! She’s all about rockin down and skank-power, she beats up the chick with pigtails, etc. Rather disgusting, if you ask me. I mean, I dig the Rolling Stone picture and the video, but it’s SO FREAKING FAKE!! Christina Aguilera as DIY or Punk? She’s about as raw as cajun seafood. And could she even play that guitar?

Nicole Kidman was (tragically) not in the group orgy scenes of “Eyes Wide Shut.” She gets nekkid with Tom Cruise in their apartment at the beginning and there are arty black and white shots of her with the anonymous sailor as she describes her imagined tryst to Tom, and that’s it for her.
