I'm getting it just fine. I don't see Christina's career going the way of Jessica's or Mandy's or to be "forgotten"
like they have. I don't see the similarity in their careers. A better comparison is Brandy.
Is there seriously any differance? Saying she's wont end up like Jessica or Mandy but like Brandy is surely
splitting the hairs the inane levels. All the artists you've mentioned are considered has-beens of the teen generation.
The only plus point in your Brandy comparison is she's producing albums like Human which is worthy of merit.
Yes. They were never on the same level as Christina. Mandy's first album didn't even scan 1 million copies. Jessica's did little
better. If it wasn't for that reality show, she'd be down there with Mandy in terms of exposure and interest.
They are all exactly the same - born off the back of the Spears revolution from the late nineties and trying to capture the same success. Christina hasnt
sold as much nor as has as many hits as Britney either, that dosent stop her being lumped in the Pop Princess category that all blatantly copied the Spears
formula.
Candy and Genie In A Bottle were both clearly imititating the forumla of Baby One More Time, Genie very successfully.
I think her point was that Aguilera was at least more successful than those two in the beginning. Certainly her debut and 'Stripped'
were a lot more successful than those hoes' first two albums.
In that respect, I'm not disagreeing - I've already agreed that Stripped was 1) a pretty good album (vocals aside) and 2) successful.
To say that Christina isnt lumped in the Britney category is ridiculous though. She's definetly had more success than Mandy or Jessica but she was just
another young girl at the time singing overtly sexual songs dressed up in kid friendly lyrics, just like Spears, rolled out like clones after the Baby One More
Time explosion.
Its more than plausable that she could follow the other clones like Mandy and Jessica given her dwindling commercial success. Its just taken her longer to get
there with slower releases but its happening. Its there in the numbers. Christina is certainly more interesting but then that didn't help Jessica stick
around either with her supposed dumb blonde routine.
I still think she could be one of this years success stories if the album is solid but she's wobbling on make or break this time around.

If she wants to consider Christina the future Brandy rather than the future Jessica...I mean honestly, what's the difference LOL.
There isnt one. They are both has-beens musically, only differance is Brandy is producing great work that no one is sadly interested in.
