I love how the producer's trying to prove how unique/original she is by saying her new song is a retread of a 20-year-old Madonna song .

I dont get what this guys on about. Christinas been around ten years, yes, but when it comes to pop, she hasnt 'defined' anything. There have been dozens of other artists in the last decade who have made more impact in the medium than her with greater material and output. Its this Legendtina thing again...........what exactly has she done in the context of her work to even come close to being a legendary force in the industry?

Thanks for posting that.
I guess it's in line with 'ANOM', considering radio impressions have declined since 2006. Where did that song peak at in overall airplay and at the formats that played it?

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. She may not have sold as many albums as Britney for instance, but that's not what the media think is relevant. (I don't know how the media in the US write about Christina, but reading stuff on internet I get the feeling they think along the same lines).

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.

Her music is always Pop music. No matter how hard she tries to make it seem different and no matter the styles she rips off, it's always Pop music.
And Stripped is not an R&B album, by any means.

I know right, that post was completely delusional. No one talks about Christina here in Sweden either, she hasn't been huge here since Beautiful, whereas people like Britney and Lady Gaga are always all over the newspapers and magazines.
