It makes me feel like we are living in a post-apocalyptic un-utopia world.

you spelt her name wrong mike, but that doesnt matter.

already a big thread on it on ILM. someone should provide a link.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 5 October 2002 08:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I actually came to ILX tonight purely to comment on the wrongness of her video.

It's like, chicks doing raunchy dancing together should be all right, chicks doing some boxing should be all right, but somehow she's managed to make it all very not right.

the video for "dirrty": classic or CLASSIC

how many times do dan and i need to tell you that's why it's CLASSIC.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:12 (twenty-three years ago)

How does that work exactly? It's so wrong that it's right? I'm pretty sure I don't subscribe.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:39 (twenty-three years ago)

art should hurt, kim.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:40 (twenty-three years ago)

actually i'm sure once i actually see the video i'll change my mind. we're all fiddling (HA HA) over rome anyway...

― DO YOU SEE?! (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:43 (twenty-three years ago)

But that line would make David Lee Roth's 'Yankee Rose' video the best video of all time. On second thought...

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 5 October 2002 12:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Christina is brilliant, now that she has given up on trying to be a sweet faced virginal ingenue (which was thoroughly unconvincing to begin with) and embraced her true nature: that of a dumpster-diving trashy ho.

She's so OTT that drag queens probably think she's a bit much. And I do like the song "Dirrty".

― Nicole (Nicole), Saturday, 5 October 2002 13:42 (twenty-three years ago)

The video disturbs my sensibilities in the sense that that woman really needs to eat something, I'm sorry.

Redman is a coup, though. Who produced the song, anyway?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 5 October 2002 13:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Basically. She's gone so far over the top that she's now number 1. She's just exuding sleaze and wrongness all over the place, which matches up with the rough fuzz-thud of the music quite nicely. Also, as I've said before, it's a style that she carries off much more convincingly than her original "I'm virginal and pretty" pose (and no, I don't know why; if I had to guess, it's because she'd rather be a "bad girl" than a "good girl" and therefore puts more effort into it).

Contrary to popular belief, Justin Timberlake's "Drums!" is not the greatest moment in recorded music, it's Christina's "What?" at the end of "Dirrty".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 5 October 2002 14:42 (twenty-three years ago)

you are all getting it wrong about Justin, he sings "drums...". Not "Drums!" or "DRUMS!" and theres a big difference between those

― vic (vicc13), Saturday, 5 October 2002 14:46 (twenty-three years ago)

It's Pharrell's "HEY!"

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 5 October 2002 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait, am I the only one who thought that she NEVER came off as virginal or sexually coy? 'Genie in a Bottle' is about as cut and dried a way as I've seen for a girlie popstar to say "Listen, I want the sex and I want it good". Here I've been thinking that her relative upfrontness was her only redeeming feature.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 5 October 2002 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Didn't you read the thread about the party Tracer went to, Dang? Reading that is helps explain why.

― Nicole (Nicole), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

For your enlightenment, I am reposting Tracer's story here:

Xtina Aguilera was over at D****'s place last week!! Xtina's boyfriend was with her and when my friend's friend - who is very nice and smart and totally clueless abt pop culture - sat across from Xtina the boyfriend says "you have to PAY to sit there, you know". D****'s friend gets up - "Honey I don't have to pay to sit anywhere" and storms off to friend's room - "who is that TRAMP with the 13-year-old thug in there?" Among other quality moments: Xtina declined food from the kitchen in favor of dispatching 13yoT to the deli downstairs who returned with Chef Boyardee; Xtina meets D**** and barely nods to him - so he mentions that this is his HOME and WELCOME - and she backpedals into graciousness; Xtina and 13yoT do it in the bathroom. Mmmm goodness.

She came off as if she was TRYING to be sexually coy (not so much virginal, I agree; that was poor wording and more a comparison to Britney, whose early hits were all about begging boys to call her and apologizing for leading guys on).

I remember Tracer's story now! Xtina is so rock-n-roll.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:10 (twenty-three years ago)

She can't be that anorexic, her butt's pretty big - and so are her breasts, although they may be silicone. Can butts be silicone?

― toraneko (toraneko), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

toraneko has just asked today's important question!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

the answer is yes.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm very glad that someone else is backing me up on the "Christina is thin, not anorexic" front, although I hadn't considered the possibility of a silicone ass.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

freak show!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

she's just tiny. nancy and i both have naturally fat cans (among other things), but neither of us think she's anorexic. nancy sez the silicone ass is a possibility, but would like it pointed out that hers is 100% american fat and muscle tissues.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:43 (twenty-three years ago)

her butt is not tht big, tho it might still be silicone

― vic (vicc13), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I think she is a hound, and the record = k-sux0r. Sorry, but there y'go. I'm sick ov hearing the idiot who is depping for sara cox drooling over it every morning. I haven't seen the video, & don't care about it. Tracer's story = r0x0r, obv.

― N0RM4N PH4Y, Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

normn we all know the record sux0r but surely the video must be something truly grndious(i hvent seen it too)

― vic (vicc13), Saturday, 5 October 2002 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

It's on the Interweb at http://demand1.stream.aol.com/ramgen/aol/us/aolmusic/artists/bmg/christinaaguilera/christinaaguilera_dirrty_bb8.rm

― toraneko (toraneko), Saturday, 5 October 2002 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

There's nothing wrong with tiny per se, and she may not be Ms. Flockhart, say. But if all she is eating is Boyardee, then likely she is vomiting it up an hour or two later, so her nutrition level is sad. ;-) Anyway, w/r/t video, she is turning me on about as much as a lump of treacle slowly melting on the side of the road.

What thread was the party story from, anyway? And how did I miss it? Was it during my vacation?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 5 October 2002 18:09 (twenty-three years ago)

She seems to be trying very hard to show us her vagina in the video.

― bnw (bnw), Saturday, 5 October 2002 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Aw, bless.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 5 October 2002 22:27 (twenty-three years ago)

She look slike my freind Anna. Maybe they are--pluto?

― Mike Hanle y (mike), Sunday, 6 October 2002 04:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Tracer's story is quite incredible but also quite unsurprising at the same time. I would've liked to have been there, for some strange reason.

― Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 6 October 2002 05:45 (twenty-three years ago)

i fucking love this video. although ive never seen it

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 6 October 2002 06:20 (twenty-three years ago)

okay, maybe being thin does not = eating disorder, but eating disorder does not = thin either. just cos someone looks healthy it don't mean they are. but sorry thats off topic. i haven't seen the video, and i don't want to cos it sounds creepy.
