Christina gets a lot of credit here in Europe as well. Especially since she takes time between albums. The media doesn't seem to get tired of her (yet), like they did slash Britney when she made album after album. Also, Christina gets a lot of credit for releasing totally different albums up till now: pop (Christina Aguilera), latin (Spanish album), R&B (Stripped), Christmas, Retro (Back to Bassics). The media here give her credit for taking risks and building a carreer rather than going the easy way by releasing the same kind of albums year after year. 
  

As someone who lives in Europe myself, thats complete rubbish. The media have little interest or certainly no respect for Christina as an artist. Compared to artists like Britney, Gaga or Beyonce, she generates nowhere the same amount of headlines or excitement in the press with her output. 
Of course she doesn't has the same amount of headlines as Britney because of her little output. That's exactly what you and I both are saying only using different words.

That the media have no respect for her as an artist is no rubish. I guess you don't like Xtina and of course there will always be people in the media who won't like Xtina either. But I've been following Xtina since Genie In A Bottle. And although I don't always like what she does and how she does it, there's no denying that most of the European media have given her a lot of credit since the start and still do.  


  
They only see her as another pop minstrel with a big voice. No one credits her artistically as your saying. Why should they? What she's done in every aspect of her career pales (beyond her vocals perhaps, which are an aquired taste) has been done bigger and better by her rivals.
