Pink made headlines yesterday when it was announced that is the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard honor at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.
While many hailed the move, a select sect of Christina Aguilera fans are enraged.
“Why” one may wonder?
Well, there had been online murmurs for months that Xtina was in line for the award; even though there was no proof. Those fanning the flames could only point to the fact that the singer followed the VMA Twitter account.
Now, some Aguilera fans oddly feel bamboozled and are taking out their frustrations on Pink – flooding her social media with their proverbial pitchforks.
Ever outspoken, the star has clapped back.
Her words below…
Want to point out an awful new phenomenon of the last 10’years. We can no longer be happy for each other. I ❤️Xtina, we’ve made amends…. https://t.co/4lcGu2mySV

Music brings us all together. The best part of music is- there’s room for everyone to win at the same time. Don’t be what’s wrong w/da world

Let’s be an example of inclusion and celebration. You don’t have to like me at all, I’m ok with that. Just be a decent person.

Well said.
We suspect some of Team Xtina may be a touch pressed for two reasons – namely the lack of music from their fave and the pair’s storied history.
Indeed, though the ladies since mended fences (hence the pic above of them teaming up on The Voice), they definitely weren’t always in each other’s good graces…
Why would they give it to Christina when Pink has an a whole era about to start? MTV did right by her. Maybe next year for Christina. If anything Missy should’ve gotten it before anybody including Beyoncé and rihanna but there’s no uproar about that. It’s about timing.
Black Twitter was kinda upset about Missy not getting it. But it’ll come.
Missy is overdue but like @lanadelvave said pink has a whole new era starting and hasnt slowed down since.. Been a lil under the rader but she still soars as an iconic diva tour attraction and relavant star in present day globally not everyone n recieve the honor of a michael jackson award.
Britney
Usher
Mary J
R kelly
And Christina are all up!!!
I think Pink needed another album, some more hits, and another tour before receiving it. That is the only reason people are saying she is undeserving and cheapening the award category.
Christina has only one more album than Pink, and their last projects both were released in 2012. Pink has continued to record and she had an amazing Truth About Love world tour in 2013 while Christina chose not to. Pink has worked longer and harder than Christina.
Missy, Luda and Vista should have gotten one before all these people.
When I was younger I thought Pink was biracial & didn’t know she was Caucasian..✌?? Her first 2 albums are my everything!!
I was rooting for X-Tina, but Pink it’s great too and she’s about to star a new era, makes sense!
Pink Deserves this Award. She has incredible live shows, great live performances, VOCALS ALWAYS ON POINT. When was the last time Christina has had a hit or done anything great…………crickets………
lol this is a VIDEO award dummy. and xtina’s vocals SLAY this goat screamer ALWAYS. when was the last time this basic butch made an impact or did anything great……crickets…….
Dear ???? stop stalking me tuna. XTINA does not deserve this award…XTINA DOES NOT PRODUCE HITS ANYMORE. PINK just had a huge summer hit with her soundtrack single. CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS OLD SCHOOL NOW — PINK IS STILL CRANKING OUT HITS AND SELLING OUT ARENAS ON TOUR.
Christina does NOT deserve this award. She has not Pioneered in Videos or Images. She has a great voice but she does NOTHING with it. Pink, Mariah, Whitney, Celine even Madonna make moves with Videos or Legendary Vocals…..Christina never leaves the Bench other than Beautiful or Genie in a Bottle.
this isnt about vocals, which xtina blows this bulldagger out of the water with anyway lol, its about VIDEOS. pink doesn’t have one iconic or memorable video at all, and she hasn’t pioneered ANYTHING. xtina started a whole movement with her “beautiful” video, and she is constantly named one of the greatest female vocalists of all time, NOT pink. so sit your hatin asss down, xtina was making her impact before pink’s whack asss came on the scene lol.
And where were you and all these so called Christina Aguilera stans when her album Bionic came out?? She was devastated when that album flop. Also where were you when Lotus came out?? GTFO with this so called Christina is the best when you people didn’t buy her albums.
Ha, you didn’t watch the clip included in the post? There wouldn’t be a ‘beautiful’ if Christina never worked with Pink’s songwriter/collaborator.
Girl please this stunt queen bought herself an award seeing as she just came out with a song. Christina on the other hand needs to tell her fans that she has retired from the music scene. The girl retired after Bionic flopped and now these so called stans want her to win an award when they didn’t support her last two albums. GTFO.
GIRL. CHRISTINA AGUILERA CAN SING. BUT HER LAST GREAT CD WAS BACK TO BASICS …..10 YEARS AGO. SHES WASHED UP AND CORNY NOW. LET PINK GET HER LIFE AND KEEP WINNING.
Everyone who truly understands singing technique/vocals. Will know that Pink sings with strong Technique, Christina does not use Technique very often. Pink is trained, similar to Celine, Patty and Beyonce. Christina is very un trained, similar to Adele. To as why Adele always has damaged vocal chords. She has a naturally beautiful soulful sounding voice but she sings with her throat.
I don’t get all these ppl rooting for xtina when she don’t even care to drop music, and when she does, it sucks badly… P!nk has been consistent with her material, and most of her songs have meaning… and she’s a great artist, and entertainer … beyond Xtina … so I definitely agree P!nk deserves this award, and I think we should all be happy that they are recognizing an exceptional artist
Name one video by xtina thats nit GENIE IN A BOTTLE OR DIRRTY OR BEAUTIFUL THAT ICONIC. I CAN REMEMBER MORE VIDEOS BY PINK THAN BY XTINA. PLUS PINK SINGS WITHOUT TRYING TO IMPRESS. I WOULDNT CALL WHAT XTINA DOES SINGING.(AT LEAST NOT ANYMORE) SORRY
Christina fans are a trip trying to rain on Pink’s parade. Honestly while both ladies are certainly derserving of said honor Pink is the one who is releasing new material while Christina is still putting her album together. So let Pink have her moment and when the time presents itself Christina will certainly have hers. There is room for both ladies to be great. Congratulations to Pink.
As much as I love Christina I wouldn’t say she pushed videos the way P!nk has. When you factor in success P!nk has had 15 top 10 hits to Christina’s 11 as well.
Christina’s last SOLO top 10 hit was in 2007. P!nk’s last top 10 hit was just last year with “Just Like Fire” and before that she had 3 others just in 2013. “Just Give Me a Reason” #1, “Try” #9, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” #5.
People make a big deal about nothing
Pink has a way better lyrical content in one disography than Christina! I am vey comfortable with pink winning this award! She has been on point of a good number of years!
*in her discography than Christina.
