Most of these comments are mildly retarded. I say this because whenever Sam or Trent makes an article about a female artist, everyone automatically has to try to compare the girl to someone who has nothing to do with them. What is that about? Since the entire discussion shifted from speculating about Christina, I've come here to shut down a couple of arguments.

****Christina vs Britney Spears: *******
First of all, I'm a fan for both of these ladies. However, Christina has a more soulful and more authentic approach to her music and videos than Britney does. Blackout was a good album, but it flopped all around the board according to what I've read and seen in articles in print and on screen. Her performance at the VMA's performing "Gimme More" temporarily destroyed her career to the point where the E-Channel was literally already making a documentary on the 'Fallen' Queen of Pop hardly less than a year ago. Then on top of that, Britney's recent single 'One, Two Three' didn't grab people as well as her publicists expected it to. It was a good club hit, yes. But it didn't ricochet around for as long as her preceding singles had. Britney has always been able to capture attention with extremely catchy songs that burn up the charts, yes. But remember that Britney had to make a follow up to Blackout in order to SAVE her career because of the embarrassing publicity she had a year back. It was her 'do over' when it came to making a comeback. Christina has pushed out strong albums and has become such a respectful figure in the media post her Xtina days to the point where Britney's tragedy can't be applied to her.

*******Christina vs. Lady Gaga:**************
People are only comparing the two of them because of their hair color and the fact that Christina is going along with the wave length and going in a more electro-esque route. Lady Gaga and Britney didn't 'create' pop. They became iconic influences within it. Lady Gaga is still a new artist and shouldn't be compared to anyone until we start hearing singles off of her third album in a year's time. If that album gobbles up the charts again like her history of singles have been doing, then we can start comparing her to existing pop icons. Until then, stop trying to kill her off. She sounds nothing like Christina, looks nothing like her, and definitely does not have the same approach that she does. Also, Gaga is JUST as appreciative of her fans as Christina is. Are you serious? She got a TATTOO as a collective thank you to her fans less than a few months ago. On top of that, she extended her tours in order to reach MORE of her fans by popular demand from the little monsters themselves. Don't even try to say that she doesn't 'care' about her fans as much as Christina does. You obviously don't do any research.
