So Christina's making a comeback with a new album ("Bionic" June 8th), a new song ("Not Myself Tonight") and now a new video to go with it. Now before I go further I want you all to know that I love Christina. She satisfied my teeny bopper days with "What A Girl Wants", my wild child side with "Dirrty", and her last cd "Back to Basics" was full of emotional love ballads that could turn anyone into a love sick puppy. Still I fear she's pulled a JLo, a.k.a spending too much time away from her career and too much with her family and kids. I'm not anti-family I'm just saying you can't leave the spotlight for too long and expect everything to be the same when you come back.
My skepticism comes from this video.. I remember an early interview of Lady Gaga on the Today Show by Hoda & Kathy Lee where they asked her what it was liked to be compared to Christina Aguilera- Well look how the tables have turned! Crazy outfits, loads of lesbianism and sex? This video has Gaga written all over it. Not to say she's the only one allowed to act like this, I mean girls like Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney and Christina have been pushing the envelope for years, it just seems like lately Lady Gaga has helped female singers take it to a whole other level.
Her new song is growing on me slowly, but I think her future success as a re-crowned super diva depends on the success of her new album. I guess we'll see.. I'm rooting for Xtina. :)
