| Recording Reviews: 11/1/02 - Nov 01, 2003 | When did Britney Spears become the wholesome one?
Christina Aguilera bares more than her soul on "Stripped" in a blatant attempt at putting another mile or two between herself and her squeaky-clean formative years with Britney on the Mickey Mouse Club.
And it works. I am convinced that she's as "Dirrty" as she says she is. And maybe even dirtier. I know she's got the piercing where it counts.
On the opening cut, "Can't Hold Us Down," she's joined by Lil' Kim in a girl-power anthem that takes a shot or two at Eminem but ultimately makes it all too clear that he... |

Heck, their public trash-talking landed them at the top of In Touch's celebrity feuds list last summer. Now, if the London Sun is to be believed, their grudge match has moved overseas.
The paper claims that Aguilera barred Kelly from the swanky London shindig celebrating her successful European tour, ordering bouncers not to let Ozzy's little girl in. But Osbourne wasn't the only one left off the guest list. The "Dirrty" popster also reportedly nixed Pink, who, like Kelly, is in ... |

I have only met one pop star and she came up to my upper arms, so I now have a scale version to work out how tall all other pop stars are - I call it my Mel-C-ometer. From this I have managed to deduce that Bryan Adams is practically a midget and if you laid all the Spice Girls end to end - woo hoo! - you’d have one Darius.

There was the one made of curtain tiebacks worn with chaps; the pink space-bikini with robot helmet; the Tina Turner frightwig larger than her body; the one that looked like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane in a straitjacket; the fishnet tribute to Cher; and the simple naked-under-a-piece-of-cardboard look - each more revealing (of her determination to look terrible) than the last. |

| Christina Blasts 'Hypocrites' Britney & Beyonce - Nov 17, 2003 | CHRISTINA AGUILERA has blasted pop rivals BRITNEY SPEARS and BEYONCE KNOWLES for their refusal to admit they use sex to sell records.
The DIRRTY superstar is happy to flaunt her body to promote her music - but she claims her pop pals contradict themselves by feigning innocence and conservatism in interviews, while stripping off for photo-shoots and saucy stage shows.
Christina snipes, "Look at people like Beyonce or Britney. They're desperate to come across as sweet, good little girls.
"But then you see them in photo-shoots that are extremely sexual - tight little booty shorts, an... |

At the MTV Europe Music Awards this month, Aguilera threw darts at a board of Kelly Osbourne's face. But when Osbourne got onstage and ragged on the dirrty girl, the crowd booed her.
(You didn't see that on the broadcast because, according to a source, Kelly's mom, Sharon, called a top MTV exec and yelled, "We're part of the MTV family. How could you allow this?" If the exec didn't cut the scene from the final broadcast, Sharon warned him, "I will bite your b-- off," the source added.)

"That formula hasn't yielded the same success Aguilera and Timberlake have received, though, as all three of her singles from her 2001 CD "Britney" failed to crack the Top 20."

| Dear Britney - Nov 18, 2003 | At the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, you DID kiss Madonna. And that, not the music, is why I love you. Madonna also kissed Christina Aguilera, right after she kissed you, but does anybody remember the Christina kiss? Heck, no!
Secretly, we all know Christina's done it before. She's dirrrrty. But when you kissed Madonna it was scandal! Headlines! Low morals! I don't know where I was going with that. I guess I just wanted to rip on Christina. She's so dirrrrty.

| Christina Aguilera says Britney isn't a 'proper' artist - Nov 18, 2003 | NEW YORK (Blender magazine) - Christina Aguilera has accused Britney Spears of not being a "proper" artist. She says Spears kissed Madonna at the recent MTV awards in America because she needed a gimmick to keep fans interested.
"These people aren't artists, they're just performers - fake and superficial, like the entire event," said Aguilera.
Aguilera, speaking to Blender magazine, even suggested Britney mimed her way through her act.
Christina Aguilera also criticised MTV for their coverage, saying: "I'm very disappointed. Just look at the way they handled the ... |

Christina Aguilera didn't have enough candles in her dressing room, and she wasn't happy about it! Terrified MTV gophers were dispatched at once to fetch more candles. After Christina and Pink's war of words in the press, things came to a head when Christina barred Pink from attending a party. Her spokeswoman explained the snub by saying: 'It was a private party, for friends.' In order to prevent round three, MTV made sure Pink's dressing room was corridors away from Christina's.

They both dismissed rumors of a feud or rivalry between each other, although I believe they both were/are secretly in competition with each other. But if you think about it, the way Christina explained the situation in Blender, Britney kind of gave her the cold shoulder at the VMA rehearsals. Kind of like "I'm the new Queen of pop and I’m best friends with Madonna, ha-ha, I'm not going to talk to you anymore". I know that sounds petty on my part but that’s just the impression I got... |

The former boy band star enjoyed a long-term relationship with pop pin-up Britney, and is now dating Hollywood babe Cameron Diaz after being linked to a succession of beautiful women, including Christina Aguilera, Alyssa Milano and the Minogue sisters, Kylie and Dannii.
However, Timberlake insists his reputation for romance has been vastly exaggerated by the media - and even claims that women aren't particularly interested in him.

| Raunchy music kills a generation - Nov 19, 2003 | Maybe Christina Aguilera wants to get "dirrty" but many of us do not. Unfortunately, today's popular music often leaves little choice.
Many radio stations that teens listen to such as Kiss 98.5, 103.3 and 101.1 are comprised of mostly, if not entirely music with obscene sexual themes. My question is: Is this really necessary? Strong words, like strong spices, can be tasteful when used sparingly, but the music of today's pop culture is drastically over-seasoned.
Take, for example, the music of Eminem, the rap genius. His words have power, but where are they leading us? Songs such a... |

In September, it was almost impossible not to hear about what happened during the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. Madonna locked lips with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in front of a packed Radio City Music Hall and a shocked television audience of millions.
For Madonna, it was another way to shock audiences just as she’s been doing for the past few decades, but for Spears and Aguilera, the former princesses of squeaky-clean teen pop, it was part of a more recent trend of risqué media behavior the two have been involved in. They have appeared sca... |

| Latin Dance Fever - Nov 20, 2003 | The forces of “prog” tug at dance music’s cutting edge. Dutch trance pulls the music to higher tempos, symphonic emotionalism, and an overblown sense of DJ stardom that would make Spinal Tap proud. Not all trance is bad, but much of the European variety has added that “prog rock” sense of theater and self-aggrandizement not previously seen in dance culture. Before the stadium-rock stylings of Tiesto, DJ Sammy, and Alice DJ hit the scene, club music was less about worship and more about getting down on the dance floor.

Over the five years of her pop career, Britney has come to epitomize the widespread belief that there's something rotten in girl culture, something that tells girls that their bodies, not their brains, are the means to power and success, especially if they're wrapped in skintight pants that stop just above the pubic bone. |

| Fight Club: Christina Aguilera VS Kelly Osbourne - Nov 24, 2003 |  The background: Legend has it the infamous spat between La Osbourne and the 22-year-old Ms Aguilera was started by Kelly's indiscreet mimicry on the TV show, The Osbournes. Then, for reasons best known herself, 19-year-old Kelly launched a spiteful attack on her rival's style, kicking off a vicious war of words that culminated in Christina confronting her at a showbiz bash last Christmas.
Kelly says: "She's despicable for many reasons. She has an amazing voice, but that doesn't change the fact she's one of the world's biggest c***s. She looks like a f***ing drah queen."

| Fight Club: Christina Vs Pink - Nov 24, 2003 |  The background: Christina Aguilera, 22, and Pink, 24, actually have quite a lot in common - a love of piercings and tattoos, a tough childhood, and they even use some of the same songwriters. But maybe that's why the two, who fell out after recording Moulin Rouge! track Lady Marmalade together, get on so badly - despite having once shared saliva during a spin the bottle party!
Christina says: "When has Pink not been copying me? In her fashion it's always like, 'Gosh, I just wore that last week."
Pink says: "I've never seen Christina host a show and I think it's surprising they... |

Then she and her 'choir' of 50 backup dancers stripped down to their racy lingerie. Among the stunned onlookers? Missy Elliot, Sean Paul, and the White Stripes, who snagged the Best Rock award.
During one routine, a slew of Scottish studs lifted their skitts up toward Aguilera. "They really were naked under there!" an MTV source reveals to Us. "She was getting an eyeful!&quo... |

'American Idol' winner (or was she runner-up? Can anyone actually keep those sorts of facts in their heads anymore?)

Unfortunately, what these women fail to realize is that more cleavage does not necessarily equal sexier music. What today's pop stars need is a lesson in classy seduction from the French master Serge Gainsbourg.
Gainsbourg's songs are to French pop what lace is to lingerie. In 1997, Polygram released a "best of" album of Gainsbourg work titled "Comic Strip." With the h... |

To illustrate it further, take a look at this example: Christina Aguilera's Can't Hold Us Down had the same amount of airplay 'Me Against The Music' had in pop stations."
