Christina @ VMA'S! WATCH!

[Ostinato]

Christina Aguilera done a totally revamped and remixed version of GIAB which is absolutely HOT. And debuted her new single Keeps Getting Better.

This is the BEST she has performed in a long time, such good moves and look..

SO AMAZING

[Blinger1]

Uhh... its too late to watch it?

Liked the remake of Genie in A Bottle, not too keen on the new song though.

[SUPERhanna.]

i like her new song, and the remix was quite good!

[seattlegrace]

Such a good look? That look would be Lady GaGa's. It's obvious that she's duplicated her overall appearance. Also for someone with such great vocals the least she could have done was perform live, but no she relied on playback. I remember her saying that it was "dumb and unprofessional" to lipsync a live performance, but oh there she goes and does it again. She's stupid.

I'm an Xtina fan but Lady GaGa > Her.

[Bomb-Head]

Oh I thought she had quit once she had her baby - is she lip dubbing on that because her tone isn't changing at all no matter how much she swings her head round or jumps around :S

[Ostinato]

Oh please, lady gaga has NOTHING on xtina.

Just because she has a fringe doesn't mean shes a copycat. :rolleyes:

And if you look closely, she only mimes during the quite hardcore dancing part which would be difficult to sing live at, but near the end you hear that she then goes live as there is less physical dancing involved.

She rocked it whether you like it or not, and the critics agree so to that she is back big style and fierce.

She looked hot, and miming for a bit or not who cares, we all know she has a great set of lungs on her and one of the best voices out today. :)

[seattlegrace]

LOL! Just the fringe? Are you blind? You're letting the fact that you're a hardcore can get in the way of the truth. The outfit, the metal wrist braces, the eye-patch, the hair, everything. Lady GaGa has lots on Christina, it's called originality. P!NKs performance involved hardcore movements, swirling down rope, and moving around quickly but she still pulled off an amazing live performance.

Everything about Christina's performance last night screamed Lady GaGa and amateur.

LOL whatever. You are entitled to your opinion so fair do's.

But I personally think it's a load of crap :P

[Frodo13.]

Imo, Britney stole the show yet again from Christina at the VMA's.

[stickwitu]

she looked too much like lady gaga
& sound wise the song isn't that different either beyond the fact that lady gaga is better.

i wish christina would take a similar sound to the stripped era.
i love her, but she's wasting her talent on this music when she's so much better than that.

I agree with you 100%. Stripped was by far her best album and some real gems on it. Everything since has been as dull as dishwater. Is kind of funny though, that to achieve real success, Christina had to do this:

[Monopoly]

She was lip-syncing I'm sure.
But all in all a good performance, enjoyed the new song.

[le harry]

Mediocre.

Christina is an AMAZING live performer so it was a little disappointing for her to lip sync but I didn't know she went live again at the end of the performance so fair do's to her - I doubt even Mariah Carey could hold a note whilst dancing so much.

I'm hooked on the new song though and the remix of GIAB had a really funky tune in the background :P

Mariah Carey is fat, that's why.

[Mitch4?]

Mariah Carey is fat, that's why.

Can't call mariah fat.
If you're calling her fat, that's like saying 90% of girls are fat.
She does have man shoulders though.

I think she lyp sync'd the hardest movement bit, im still unsure about the rest.
Song sounds pretty decent

[Virgin Mary]

Still, she has huge thighs and wouldn't be able to sing and dance at the same time either way.

[Ostinato]

If you just listen to the last quarter of the HQ song and the performance you can see she was live at that part.

Christina often gets criticised because she isn't one who gets greatly involved in her dance routines and mainly utilises the stage whilst her backing dancers do all the big moves.

However, I think as she has went for the futuristic look this time she is trying to make a bit of a mark and wanted to have a bit more of dance routine in toll, so in turn she has had to sacrifice going live until the end of the song where it's less heavy duty and she can concentrate on the vocals.

I admit myself it is quite dissapointing, especially as we all know how good she is live... but in all fairness she was trying to compensate by giving more entertainment through the dance routine - and she definitely did that by providing a show stopping performance :)

[Frisky]

OMG I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee christina.

I really hate the fact that she lip synced.

Yes Lady Ga-Ga had a new look and now Christina has similarities.

So what? Lady Ga-Ga has started a new fashion, Christina knows it's good so she's gonna opt on it ;)

Get with the times people.

Oh and to anyone trying to watch this video, you'll have to dig youtube as Viacom International Inc. are taking all the VMA videos down VERY quickly!

[gaga1]

Christina's someone who compliments originality but there was no originality in the routine at all. She completely ripped off Lady GaGa with the "futuristic look" and just because she thinks its a "new style" it's no excuse to go and use it as her own. Her comeback so to speak has failed.

+rep!
:o! Thankyou

[NitronGalactus]

Aww, why did she lip-sync? She doesn't usually.

[,Jess,]

I think it was a good performance even if she didn't sing live and didn't even notice the similarities between her and Lady Gaga till someone pointed it out.

[Nemo]

You and your christina fetish. She was good i spose.

[Susie Dent]

I doubt even Mariah Carey could hold a note whilst dancing so much.
Ew, look at the size of her, of course she couldn't. All she can do is make fanny fart noises.

Mariah doesn't dance, well not greatly anyway, the most she has really done is in 'Honey' and 'Heartbreaker' which isn't much.

Anyways CHRISTINA = BOW
Gaga = Who? :lol:

LOL please, Gaga is good in her own right, but she has nothing on Xtina, vocally, sexually, performance wise, lyrically, practically everything.

Xtina > The rest

& LFR, people moaning about Xtina lip syncing, Britney is one of the biggest lip syncers in the business and no one complains, doesn't mean she is crap either :$

It's a situation where Christina isn't going to win, people would have complained if she just stood there and sang this song and people have complained, even whilst she owned it with her AMAZING dance moves but lip synced.

[Hate]

um didnt christina say it was dumb and unprofessional to lip sync a "live" performance

Eamonn how DARE you.

She has plenty on Christina. Christina isn't as innovative as she once was, Lady GaGa is one of the most innovative artists around right now. Gaga's performances are great and she even sings live, all while dancing frantically.

The thing about the lip syncing, Britney doesn't go around saying "its dumb and unprofessional to mime a live performance", Christina did and now she's going to have to eat her own words. Appearance wise, Christina did rip Lady Gaga off and nobody can disagree with that because the similiarities are endless.

I'm a fan of Xtina but that took the piss. I'm surprised Britney wasn't sat in the crowd saying "Hey, why is Lady Gaga on the stage lip syncing and wearing my Onyx tour catsuit?"

[Invent]

How the hell is she one of the most innovative artists?

[gaga1]

"Lady GaGa is one of the most innovative artists around right now."

You're a fan of Elliot Minor, you wouldn't understand.

[Invent]

Fantastic argument, compare a woman who knows how to just play the piano with a group of guys who are clasically trained in piano, violin, double bass, chello and many other instruments. But ya, Elliot Minor are far more unique in terms of music as well as vocals than this gaga woman ;).

A woman who's still more talented than all band members put together. Her creativity surpasses Elliott Minor's and her music doesn't sound studio enhanced, theirs do. You don't need to argue the fact that EM are better because it's not going to go anywhere; it's fact that they're under Lady Gaga as far as vocal talent, fantastic performances and in terms of being innovative. Lady GaGa has a mature audience, not a crowd of wannabe scene people jumping around to your preference of music that will make your ears bleed.

And to the Piano comment, she learned it at age 4, wrote her first piano ballad at 13 and was given a placement in TSA aged 17.

[stickwitu]

lady gaga is one of the only musicians right now actually doing something different in pop, and yeah maybe christina was inspired from villians etc. but she still looked like gaga, and the sound is still very similar (apart from the fact that the track fails in comparison to a majority of The Fame).

i dont mind christina copying or following other artists directions, but she needs to do her own thing. B2B was a good album, and had they turned it into a 1 disc album i reckon people would rate it a lot higher and it was individual, but with each album she changes completely and it doesn't make her a reliable artist because you can't guarantee you'll like what she does next.

i dont like this direction. it's not unique. and if this track is a sign for things to come then i'm not impressed. i would prefer her doing pop/rock tracks like on stripped. it worked sales-wise, and it got praise.
