I'm not really a fan of Xtina, but I'm glad she addressed the whole Lady Gaga fiasco. It's seriously getting ridiculous now.

It's just kind of funny to me personally that people become this upset with an individual they don't even know. lol The fact that people hope for her failure and jump on the slander bandwagon following any minuscule report or accusation (without knowing whether or not what is being reported is actually true or not). People hope for the worst and automatically expect the worst from Christina. And what has she done, said a few negative things about celebrities? lol From the outside looking in, it all seems a bit ridiculous and a tad extreme.

CLASSIC XTINA. When she made those comments about Britney, Beyonce, & Mariah years ago...she pulled the "taken out of context" card too. Girl, quit it. I'm so over her retractions all the time. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Don't try to pull away from it because your ass is being roasted everywhere for it. She does this move every time.

Has Christina ever been known to talk positively about her peers? It seems like she is known for making condescending remarks about her peers. I don't think it's the right time to be doing that. She talks good about the ones who have consistently said great things about her in the press. That's Jessica Simpson & Rihanna. If they were not fans, I'm sure they would've joined her hit-list too.

As if Trashotherartiststina's comments about Lady Gaga when she first took off were "taken out of context." They were clear as day. Someone needs to tell her that selective memory isn't an attribute.

I agree that Christina's words are "always being taken out of context". Why? "Oh, the newcomer? She's fun to look at..." Really...? She doesn't fool me.
Saying that, the amount of CRAP people are giving Christina is ridiculous. My goodness...

People are hellbent on "hating" her because she gives them reason to do so. It's that simple. I agree. The hate Christina's getting on this board is rather overwhelming, but it doesn't help that people are defending her statements when it's clear as night and day what her intentions were when she said them. She's got a horrible personality, that much is obvious, let's just leave it at that.

I really can't believe there's still no word on the second single. Not even an announcement?!
Unless that one tweet about WooHoo was legit...but I don't think it was real confirmation.

The hate Christina's getting on this board is rather overwhelming, but it doesn't help that people are defending her statements Who is defending the statement itself though (perhaps over at live daily)? Initially, even I said her comments were "undeniably catty" and tactless. However, I do think it is possible that her comment (in this particular situation, need to stress that a lot for some reason) may have been taken out of context. Some chose to ignore her explanation and some (like myself) chose to consider it. Either way, I am glad amidst the piles and piles of vile comments centered on Christina that at least some members aren't automatically joining in and are even at times defending her. If not for those few members, her threads would be hate from front to back.

I really wish the good singers turn things around. It really seems like they are all flopping (Mariah, Leona, Xtina) and it's not fair cause they actually got talent. I'm anxiously waiting for the next single =D

I'm anxiously waiting for the next single =D Why isn't it fair? Their choice in singles are horrible, not to mention their latest albums are as horrible as well. We've yet to listen to Floptina's new album, but based on the latest leaks, the album looks like its gonna bomb badly. And if she does flop, Floptina will blame it all on M.I.A., Sia, Goldfrapp and Santigold.

I'm anxiously waiting for the next single =D Times when having a good voice mattered are long gone. Modern pop music is all about catchy hooks and strong melodies. Mariah and Leona flopped because they both created albums full of incredibly dated, weak material, devoid of strong melodies and hooks. Both need to get with the program if they want to continue having careers as pop artists. I don't think Christina's album will "flop" but it looks like it will severely under perform. From the clips we have heard so far I'm not hearing any definite smash hits needed to salvage this era for her imo. As for the statement she issued....all I can say is that if she was smashing with NMT right now she would not be issuing any statements regarding fellow artists.

Little too late, she's been talking $hit about GaGa since her song Keeps Flopping Better flopped. I remember her Blender interview where she was disrespecting Britney and Beyonce's performances at the VMA's. I have zero respect for this sad woman. I'm glad Karma came and did her thing on Christina. you got to give it to will for enabling. She knows that you have to choose your words carefully because if you take the bait they will take it and use it for a reaction. There is no reason to call gaga newcomer either way. I believe she said it in an interview...starting out guarded but then getting comfortable and stated a passive statement that the journalist ran with. She probably knew this would get a reaction and then knew that she could make a press statement about it not being true. Therefore, she makes her passive b****y statement and can get brownie points for "clearing it up" and blaming the journalist. That is done quite often in the industry. People retracting statements to get it out there for buzz and then pulling back.

Who can forget when she was trying to throw major shade at GaGa saying she doesn't know if it's a She or a He . lol. Lord knows people have to continue to bring this up over and over as supposed "evidence" of Christina's cattiness. At the time, Lady GaGa was still a relatively new phenomenon; I honestly believe she simply didn't know who she was (especially considering she has said countless times she "lives under a rock" in certain respects). Going by name alone, Lady GaGa does indeed sound like a drag name. I probably would have said the same thing, had I not been familiar with her previously. But alas, with anything Christina, a lot of people will always take it to a much cattier place; it could never be just as simple as Christina being unfamiliar with her at the time. It has to be a dig! Tsk.Tsk. Enabling at it's worst best. If she hadn't been "misquoted" LOL with her current statement then the first statement would be questionable. Still wouldn't believe she didn't know considering it was about really about claims of her copying someone else...a drag queen LOL, right? she wears heavy makeup but, no.

So, her words were taken out of context again like when she dissed other female artists...yeah right What? She never claimed every negative sentiment she ever publicly expressed was taken out of context; she's simply referring to this comment and said it wasn't the first time something similar (twisting of words) had occurred (she never said it happened every time). Just because she spoke negatively about specific artists in the past doesn't mean every quote thrown around (of her supposedly bashing another artist) afterward should automatically be seen as truth. Where have you been? I remember her saying that "her words were taken out of context" when she dissed Britney, Madonna & Beyoncé in the past. It's not first time and it won't be the last time ;) After she got played at the VMAs...yeah she wasn't in the best place at that phase in her life. It didn't help that Beyonce took the torch and became the new it girl once Brit started fading...hmm some that another girl would do that

Says the person that sends PMs to people exemplifying the behavior they claim in their PM message. LOL I will say that I hope that Christina does get a hit. I would never hope she tanks. Whether she has a hit or not, she still isn''t going to have her moment. It's too late...so at this point I would like someone with that vocal talent to be in the game because of so much autotune (some are my fav artists) but real vocalists are very much appreciated. Just loose the skanky appeal and the lousy personality (fake it...for pete's sake). Do something otherwise, you career will end up like [insert's xtina for example].

I'd also like to say that having a good voice has never fully mattered. It's always been about being current. It's just we had several big voices in the early 90s that seemed to set the standard for artists with big voices. The people managing these ladies need to get a clue that they can't recreate I Will Always Love You or Vision Of Love. Music is just different now. What worked 20 years ago isn't going to work now.

There must be a reason why so many hate her though. I think it's her whole attitude and look that turns people off and the whole 'art' thing that she constantly brings on in her interviews. Sometimes it's better to just shut up and just do what you're supposed to do: entertain people. But then again, it's entertaining for many of us to watch her becoming a 'victim' of the internet community and a laughing stock at times (such as now for example).

Xtina can't seem to catch a break. Its so sad. Not only is it sad to see her failing commercially, its sad to see people hating her so much. I thought it was just pulse, but ONDT hates her as well, as do other artists' fanboards. Forget Britney. Beyonce fans, Rihanna fans, Pink fans... they all hate her! :(

Still wouldn't believe she didn't know considering it was about really about claims of her copying someone else...a drag queen LOL, right? she wears heavy makeup but, no. If Christina hadn't seen Lady GaGa or been aware of who Lady GaGa was at the time she was being questioned about the supposed "similarities" between the two, it is feasible that she was unaware of the gender of the act in question. Lady GaGa's name, and name alone (not appearance), seems like a drag name. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Lady GaGa was who she is today when the comparisons initially began. The first round of comparisons began (to my knowledge) September 7th, 2008 (after Christina's MTV Video Music Awards performance). Just Dance didn't peak until mid-January of 2009. It's not as if GaGa was the media force she is today and that it was impossible to escape her. I actually believe it's possible (when the initial comparisons began and she was questioned) that Christina wasn't really aware/familiar with her.
