Christina Aguilera's Blaccent

Alex, to make matters worse, the album is your worst diva-dreck-trainwreck nightmare (count em: 9 octave raping ballads). Also, she put some p!nk rock tracks on there and pulls in a disappointing Lil Kim cameo for extra brownie points.

we'll shave her hair off. or else we could put a burka on her.

david pajo's cover of "last caress" on one of those aerial m b-sides?

i just love the fact that people used to smirkingly refer to her as "X-Tina", and then the other day on MTV i saw those 5 letters running down the leg of her tightasspants. she's made it her own!

Aguilera in proving Momus right shockah!

For one, it's at least more interesting for her to go all the way then stay so middle of the road, especially with this American Idol crap getting so big.

Two, is the pop thing over? It seems to be out, along with Nu Metal. I havent seen TRL in a little while, but I think girls have replaced NSYNC with New Found Glory and Jimmy Eat World. Maybe this is what the pop stars are reduced to, lowest common denomenator. I hope Brittney just releases a hardcore beastiality porn to out-do her.

its just the sort of 'play with words' you get from a killing joke fan ep.

(b) Re:'Blaccent': I didn't make the term up. Blame the parlance of popular culture, if it offends you. But I think it aptly describes the heavily affected manner of speech Mz.Aguilera has adopted in a desperate attempt for some sort've harder "street credibility," and I'm embarassed for her.....which is not to say I don't think anyone should speak that way, but that it's clearly not an honest gesture on her part: she's trying to be something that she isn't, and it's a flimsy disguise.

'pop/rock star tries to be something he/she isn't' shockah!

Cop-out argument.

I just don't know why anyone cares. She's a very easy celebrity to ignore because her image isn't exactly one that drives the corporate culture after her - there is no Britneyesque mass market saturation with Christina. She's Mariah Carey at warp speed. NO ONE seems to actually like Christina Aguilera, it's like she's famous for being awful and laughable.

I like "Genie" and "Dirrty." And she does have a good voice.

I think she makes a horrible sex symbol though. I don't find Britney attractive either, but I can understand why others might -- Christina, however, has an ugly face, an ugly body (no curves or muscle tone or anything), and a weird jaundice to her skin tone that doesn't complement her blonde hair.

And she does have a good voice.

Yes she does, but she's a lousy singer (I'm gonna use this little self-coined catchphrase again because I'm damn proud of it, I know it's annoying and I don't care) : a great singer uses their voice to serve a song; she, however, uses a song to serve her voice. (most blatant example: "I Turn To You"; she's toned it down since)

Meaning, obviously, that she decided to skip out the very few occasions when Mariah was actually any good (Vision Of Love, for instance) and went straight to overwrought vocal histrionics. Is she sort of like Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat except with the erogenous zone in her larynx causing her to feel pleasure when she sings loud, high and screechy, I wonder.

I take it back, sorta. I think she's hot as hell, esp. with her new black hair. And I'm not into tans but the darker skin works for her.

Re her "blaccent": she's Hispanic and she was born in Staten Island and lived there until the age of eight. That's a pretty standard Nuyorican accent you're hearing.
