Coldfire – right. Although she looks to me more like she’ll stick to South Beach for her “retirement”. And who knows, maybe once she is out of the pop-chart grinder she’ll put that voice to good use.
Of course, if TATU’s(*) agent figure out a way for them to break into the US market – though it would definitely NOT sell to the 14-year olds – people would stop talking about Christina’s and Britney’s pseudo-skankoid affectations…
(* = look it up. Russian teen-pop-loli-tart act. With a twist…)
Yeah, I know, the two lesbian chicks from Russia. They’re 17 and 18, BTW.

Fantastic marketing. Get two young cuties, and make them kiss each other in their videos!
Fastest. Rising. Star. Ever. 
They also seem to perform in see-thru wet T-shirts. I won’t post a link - just do a Google image search for “tatu”.
Even Leann Rimes in her new video “Life Goes On” knows how to wear little and look sexy rather than skuzzy. Aguilara could take a lesson from her.
The “real” her or just the latest marketing makeover, either way I don’t find it appealing. I sometimes like it when a woman looks a little trashy, but not when she looks like the whole landfill.
I think CA ha s fallen into the same trap as most people who find superstardom at too young an age. She and her advisors like the spotlight, they are almost completely out of touch with reality, and they understand that sex sells. So rather than continue to promote her voice (which is very, very good, IMO), which is risky, because it assumes the record-buying public has taste, they have opted to skank her up to the max, which guarantees sales and butt-loads of free publicity. It’s sad, really.
Sex sells. Film at 11. and 12. and …
And LeAnn Rimes’ song, video and CD all bombed.
Personally, I don’t think Britney can be measured by the same skank-o-meter as Christina (X-tina if you must)
Christina always looks like she hasn’t bathed in a week and her hair looks like she washes it about once a month.
Britney isn’t even in the same galaxy as Christina when it comes to skankiness–Christina is the new Grand High Empress of Skank/Ho/Slutness in the solar system, taking over the Top slot formerly occupied by 'Lil Kim.
“Why does Christina Aguilara dress like she does?”
Why ask why?
I mean, you say that like it’s a bad thing.
Hey! I’m a 16 year old girl (though hardly average) and I honestly think Christina’s form of dress is rather…sad. She used to be so cute, and she could really sing. If it keeps progressing this way, she’ll end up like our buddy Jacko (well, maybe not the whole dangling-small-children-out-of-windows thing, but the scary appearence, etc.)
And all my 16 year old female friends seem to think the same way. 13 and 14 years olds, maybe, but by 16, most people seem to start thinking for themselves.
Every time I see Christina Aguilera’s appearance mentioned here, and that’s a lot, I’m taken aback by the nastiness of the posts. This thread is far from the most vitriolic I’ve seen but people seem to throw words like “skank”, “ho” and “slut” around with great abandon. I fail to see how it’s possible to get that worked up about something as harmless as a pop singer.
You’re only defending her because you dress lik that too.
Yeah but you’ve gotta admit that I look pretty hot in my leather chaps and white Y-fronts.
I have a series of books at home, listing last years current events. The series goes back to 1954. From the '56 edition, I quote:
**“The new jazz star of this year in the USA was Elvis Presley. Teenagers were screaming when they heard and saw him. He was a singer, that really couldn’t sing. He dressed sloppily, was sweaty and unkempt. He let loose and actually managed to start crying from inspiration on stage. With this, he was an instant succes and is making lots of money.” ***
