@ only1kene...

britney was at the beginning of her meltdown when the media began trashing her ( of course, trashing her didn't help, i'm sure). when the media saw her career headed toward a metoric crash they shifted grears into overhype and haven't down shifted since.

you say, NOW, they're trashing christina! i say they started in on christina after she won the grammy for best new artist and made britney's future trashing look like praise. it was obvious whose team they were on (still on) between christina and britney.

i can't believe how christina is able to take the stage and give awsome performances knowing the press will hate on her or ignore her altogether ( too much newsworthy britney in a bikini to report...lol).

comparing artists always has been and always will be. it's just foul when it's done unfairly such as with christina and lady gaga. she got the gaga copycat label hung on her even though gaga was jacking as much from christina as vice versa. not to mention, lgg was ripping off COUNTLESS others. i think lgg is talented and it's ok to compare the two as long as you give christina deserved credit (yeah...that'll happen)!

i'm a big christina fan but i do wish she would display fewer voice acrobatics (she did it on i love you porgy...one of her best performances, ever )!!!
