At least Britney is a success with very little effort lol.
Britney already has had a downfall. Back in 2002 none of her singles climbed higher than #86.
In the second half of 2004 and 2005 there were no hits either.
I'm glad for Britney she's back popular again, as I like a lot of her songs.
Christina may have a lot of haters, but she's not had such a big downfall (yet).
Up till now her hits have all hit at least top 50 (Dirrty), top 40 (The voice within) or top 25 (all others).
But I wish both well. Nothin' but love.
Britney never did well on the Hot 100 until digital sales were included, but she was still selling albums in 2001-2002 ('Britney'), so your
comparison doesn't make sense. Even 'In The Zone' did pretty well.
It wasn't until 'Blackout' she had saw a downfall. And the funny thing is, Britney's downfall was HUGE. Even if Christina ever acted that
erratically, she wouldn't get half the attention Britney did. Britney has always overshadowed Christina. The true test was when they both kissed
Madonna but all over the world it was "THE BRITNEY & MADONNA KISS" lol. Christina hasn't had a downfall like Britney, but she's never
had the same huge success and media impact either. No one really bought or even remember Back to Basics, and her GH project barely made a blip on the
public's radar. Christina is one flop album away from being irrelevant.
Indeed, I dont see Christina as someone whose been doing all that well for years. The last time she was an important recording artist was Stripped and that
was many a year ago now. Its incredibly weak to justify most of her singles as doing well when she is barely crawling into the Top 50/25/40.
Sounds pretty desperate reasoning to me.
She's need a successful album that will re-ignite the interest in her. She's almost gone the way of Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore, fading into
obscurity now the pop princess fad is dead.
Wait, didn't Christina have a sold out arena tour on her last album? I don't think Jessica and Mandy can say that. And Jessica is famous
for being famous. Mandy is just a Z-lister. Christina hasn't fallen that far. She's not in the same league as Britney/Alicia/Beyonce in the eyes of
the general music buying public, but I wouldn't say she's a has-been in the music industry.
