Former pop singer and Mouseketeer, now talent show judge, Christina Aguilera, is well known for shading her fellow pop stars, especially those more successful than her. As if she was competing with Mariah Carey for the most shady comments, Xtincta often likes to take a jab at the likes of Gaga, Britney or Mariah herself.
It seems that Christina's manager has learned this discipline from her, as shown in a recent interview when he was asked about whether she would consider a Vegas residency. His response shows that he has obviously been living under a rock for the past decade:
“Just not time yet. No disrespect to Britney or to Jennifer Lopez who’s doing one or to Shania who did one or any of them. Christina's not peaked yet. She’s in the prime of her career, will tour the world. We’re not ready to sit down in Vegas.”
So how delusional do you have to be to actually utter these words? Let's set aside the fact that Britney and J.Lo are not in her prime anymore, because that is actually true. Jennifer's peak was during the J.Lo album, while Britney's peak was during Toxic, but both of them have had many successful albums, singles and sold out tours since then.
On the other hand, Xtincta's peak was Stripped (released 2002 - yup, 13 years ago), after which it all went downhill. The Mi Reflejo singer's last two albums have been massive flops (Who can name them? Anyone? OK, I'll help you: Boink and Lettuce), while her tour from 2010 had to be cancelled due to low interest. Also, her last solo hit was Hurt, from nearly 10 years ago.
Sorry, Mr Manager (let's call him that way because who's gonna look his name up), I know you're trying to put a positive spin on things, but next time do it so that you won't get embarrassed like this.
