The lipping, her being stiff, the gay ass superwoman theme, the gay ass cape, the Lady Gaga teas, Britney's 2004 Toxic tour outfit, ruining 'GIAB'... what was she thinking with that performance?

Well, there was your Legend in all her glory. ROTFL

Btw, MTV is so shady for giving an award to Britney right after Christina performed. They were sooo wrong for that. :eek:

It was a good "performance", but I'm really disappointed in her for lipping. I mean, a couple songs on tour to save your voice, ok fine, but your first performance in a year and you f*cking lip it?

I 100% agree with that post. I was expecting her to actually make me like her new single by making it better. She blended in along with everyone else and I'm not pleased.

If she woulda did her usual oversinging of a simple song,I woulda ate it up. Where were her runs? Her adlibs? Where was her voice period? Not cute

She's will NOT sit there and criticize Bey and Britney for lipsynching and then show up at the VMA's and lip downe when there was no good reason for her to lipsynch.

It's my first time aswell being dissappointed with Christina, to this level.

Anyone that says she danced her ass off is crazy, she kinda akwardly moved around. and in Genie she moved her arms. She DID NOT lipped because she was dancing.

Every other excuse (it was a debut so she played the studio version :roll:; it's the style of song that you dont sing live and so on) is stupid too. She had no reason to lip and she lost a lot of respect.

Im usually her biggest supporter, i NEVER say anything but great things, but I didnt like this. I love Keeps Gettin' Better, but genie did not impress me at all. I dont know how she can go from b2b to this and think people are going to embrace it. Its like she is jumping on the bandwagon of people doin this style of music. When CA came out, and even with stripped, you could feel the soul in her voice and style..and she has always played with that song. Its what she is known for. To just switch to this, almost overnight apparently, it just doesnt seem right for her. Its too rushed. Im hoping that when the gh comes out that Im not going to hate beautiful, but im not going to keep my hopes up. I feel that this isnt her at all.

I didn't really like the performance either. The outfit was not flattering AT ALL. The lipping was lame mostly because she can't do it to save her life. It was so damn obvious, although the end of the song was live and she tried to belt a few notes. Whatever.

It's weird that she is getting such awesome praise for the performance in media articles.

"Britney isn’t the only one back. After getting married and giving birth to her first child, Christina Aguilera has reentered the entertainment world. In a futuristic performance that began with pieces of “Genie in a Bottle” and “What a Girl Wants,” Aguilera premiered her new song “Keeps Gettin’ Better.” Not only was the song great, but the performance was amazing as well. I’m usually a Britney girl, but I may buy this new album."

This was funny:

"Most obvious Catwoman audition: Christina Aguilera did a remixed version of “Genie in a Bottle” wearing a black eye mask and a slinky black outfit. Was she trying out for a role in the revamped Batman franchise?"

What I can't stand is people defending her lipsyncing the performance, yet they bash other people like beyonce when they lipped. Didn't xtina bash everyone at the vmas a few years ago because only "herself, mary j, and madonna had their mics on"? Now it is suddenly okay when she contradicts herself and lipsyncs?

I personally wasn't impressed all around. Her new song sounds like a typical britney dance pop song. Her performance/dance moves were also very very britney. I was expecting a huge comeback and this was forgettable all around. I didn't like it and I don't care what biased ass kisser on here will bash me for saying so. I am being honest, she sucked tonight.

Christina did great. I don't care for the lipping and I genuinely wonder why she did it when the choreography wasn't streneous, but it was nice seeing something different from her.

Also, this isn't the lead single from a new album. It's just a bonus track for the GH. For what it is, it's a great song. I'm not seriously critiquing it or the performance to such a high standard. No doubt when the ALBUM comes out with the real single, she'll dance and sing [live] her butt off.

the GIAB remix is god awful and her dancing was pretty bad. like worst than madonna. if her choreography was the work of jerry slaughter, she needs to scrap him ASAP.

if she was doing some real dancing and the song was actually good, i wouldn't of given a rats ass if she lipped.

but seeing as it was all lame it just goes along with the bad performance

she kept rubbing her hand down her right leg. wtf was that?

What's up
Sep 7th, 2008, 10:42 PM
i'm pretty upset.

i always wanted christina to do electronica/dance but I haven't like anything i've heard or seen. I still hate the song and the performance wasn't great at all.

the GIAB remix is god awful and her dancing was pretty bad. like worst than madonna. if her choreography was the work of jerry slaughter, she needs to scrap him ASAP. I'm honestly not picking up the GH album and I hope when her album comes out next year it sounds nothing like this awful ****. and please get rid of linda pretty christina. that dyke has nothing to offer but her tongue.


LOL oh my calm down.

Well. This was quite a .. performance?
there is no excuse for lip synching. none whatsoever.

the genie remix seems chill.

still not a fan of the new song. and way to look, dress and lipsynch with the same amount of talent as one, Britney Spears.

failure.

OK, I won't comment on her lipping, because you guys already did. I'm just not happy about it.

I really didn't like Genie. It sounded like a Casio demo. Classics should be left as they are. I'm really worried about her ruining Beautiful now.

The entire thing was too over the top, the theme was kind of lame, the outfit has been done before, and the cape... Britney's Toxic performance for ABC special in 2003 much?

She was really stiff, and the choreography was really repetitive. And she needs pay Kylie and Lady Gaga royalties for totally ripping off their style.

I'm sorry, but I just can't get into it. I watched it over and over again, and it's just... :greyno:

Then she busts out with KGB and BAM! She gives us something we haven't seen from her in a long ass time! That attitude, that FIERCENESS! The choreagraphy was HAWT!!! This is her first performance in over a year and she obviously hasn't lost all the baby weight but damn she killed it!!!!!

Exactly, 25 years worth of videos where it's all about the visuals, the dancing, the costumes, etc. She nailed it. She showed what a performance is all about. It had all the elements of a great performance, you can tell that took a lot of work to put together.

Sep 8th, 2008, 01:15 AM
Here's what I think

I didn't have any problem with this performance. I've never been a fan of lipsynching because I do feel like it takes something away from the performance (for Christina, at least)...Like she doesn't connect to it. However, I understand what she was doing and what this performance was intended for.

However, what I thought about that performance doesn't matter. What really irritates me about this forum is how many fairwheather fans Christina has. I've always realized this, and hey, maybe it is because how often she recycles her fan base, but people are so quick here to give up on her or **** on her whenever she "****s up" in their eyes. This thread in itself was a pure opportunist thread, because I can guarantee this thread wouldn't be made in the same vein if the tables were turned. I guess I don't give a **** really about this perfomance, it could've went either way. But it gets really silly when people here bash Christina for being so critical and for being such an front and center bitch, when it's obvious they LIVE for it as they copy her persona and the way they try to reproduce the way Christina can yank everybody's chains and make them upset. I guess imitation really is supposed to be her greatest form of flattery around here.

RingTheAlarm
Sep 8th, 2008, 01:22 AM
Aye... she rocked it, but I think I would have preferred if she danced a little less and sang a little more, like she did at the Movie Awards. Hell, she totally could have sang GIAB live. Whatever. I guess it was somewhat refreshing to see her do something different. :/

Kaina
Sep 8th, 2008, 01:23 AM
First of all, leave Britney out of this. She deserved those awards and she looked amazing. Second of all, Christina's performance may not have been live, but she still brought it. I love the new direction she's going in. It's different and new, and I think she will reach a different fan base. Lay off.

I honestly feel that she did'nt deserve those awards. Not for that LAME ass video. Hell no. MTV sucks and other more deserving artist's and their videos we're robbed IMO.

They pulled the exact same thing in 2002 when they had Christina give Eminem the award... that's MTV. They're not pro-Christina, never were. I love that she is the bigger person, always. :)

What I can't stand is people defending her lipsyncing the performance, yet they bash other people like beyonce when they lipped. Didn't xtina bash everyone at the vmas a few years ago because only "herself, mary j, and madonna had their mics on"? Now it is suddenly okay when she contradicts herself and lipsyncs?

I personally wasn't impressed all around. Her new song sounds like a typical britney dance pop song. Her performance/dance moves were also very very britney. I was expecting a huge comeback and this was forgettable all around. I didn't like it and I don't care what biased ass kisser on here will bash me for saying so. I am being honest, she sucked tonight.

I TOTALLY agree with the first paragraph. its amazing how some xtina fans could bash beyonce for lipping 30 seconds of something, bashing mariah, britney, and anyone else who lips. but its okay for xtina? well, for me it isnt. ITS NOT OKAY AT ALL. hows it feel to be the only one that lipped? i am embarassed.

i love her with all my heart and will continue supporting her, i would just like to hear her reason for doing this. straight from her mouth.

It wasn't horrible, but I can understand the complaints. BTW, she wasn't doing anything during the GIAB intro thingy, I don't understand why that was lipped. There's really no excuse for that. I'm beginning to wonder if Christina's really into this change in her sound and image or if this is something that her team is pushing for to sell and make her marketable to the younger generation once again.. Something along the lines of Beyonce and Britney. I liked the song at first, but that was just the hype of having new Christina. It's pretty average IMO and not something she'd be proud of. Granted I haven't seen too too much, I just don't feel her passion for this right now.

it wasn't exactly rushed because of the GH album. Christina didn't finalize her appearence till like maybe 2 weeks before the VMA's. That could have a lot to do with it, I mean what does it take to sing live on the VMA stage? Hell if I know.

But, I didn't watch so I don't know. I thought by now she'll be ready to sing live, even though while in Dubai singing, her throat was a little sore. Oh well.

I'm glad she showed up, no matter what people say. Lawd knows this board cries about these things more than any other.

why is it that everytime we mention christina lipping someone has to say "if it was britney no one would say anything"

uh, everyone comes down hard on britney for lipping. especially in the beginning of her career. she can't sing and over the years its been predictable that she will lip every performance she does so when people see britney perform they look for other aspects aside from live vocals.

Christina should be very embarrassed.

I stopped following Christina after her ****-ups with B2B and realizing how gimmicky and image driven she was. However, I just saw her performance on the VMAs and am shocked that she lipped the entire performance on the very same show where she criticized her peers for lipping. Even worse, she didn't do it half as good. Check Beyonce's CIL performance or Britney's Oops performance on the same show and then compare it to Christina's. I am shocked she has taken like 10 steps back in her career. What is she trying to prove? I remember when she started lipping slow songs on tour, I said she was two steps from Britney and I got jumped on! Now look at her...I felt like I was watching a Britney performance- same costumes (which was really unflattering on Christina), same moves, same lame lifts and that cape...wtf! I swear Britney had a cape in some performance as well. So sad to see :( The dancing was lame and her stage presence was lacking. She looked uncomfortable...she was out of her element. Check the Movie Awards to see her in her element and then watch this performance. Quite shocking really. I am so surprised to see most fans defending this and praising her performance. I even see some thinking she deserved a standing ovation...seriously?!

On a positive note, the song is hot and I don't even like that style. I doubt Christina does either though, so whatever. She didn't even try to infuse it with her style. It should be a big hit for her and I guess that is all that matters, unfortunately.

Now look at her...I felt like I was watching a Britney performance- same costumes (which was really unflattering on Christina), same moves, same lame lifts and that cape...wtf! I swear Britney had a cape in some performance as well. So sad to see :( The dancing was lame and her stage presence was lacking. She looked uncomfortable...she was out of her element. Check the Movie Awards to see her in her element and then watch this performance. Quite shocking really. I am so surprised to see most fans defending this and praising her performance. I even see some thinking she deserved a standing ovation...seriously?!

On a positive note, the song is hot and I don't even like that style. I doubt Christina does either though, so whatever. She didn't even try to infuse it with her style. It should be a big hit for her and I guess that is all that matters, unfortunately.

I respect your opinion honey. you made some good points. I am so sorry you feel this way. Im upset 2. I did love the dancing though. i think its FAIR that dani can share an opinion without bashing or starting trouble.

I am embarassed 2. and i wonder if christina cares what her fans think.

IMO i dont think she was copying brit. she was doing a superhero thing, that was soooooooo corny lol. I mean the cape thing. it was like falling off

why is it that everytime we mention christina lipping someone has to say "if it was britney no one would say anything"
Whenever Christina gets criticized, for anything really, it somehow makes stans feel better to immediately say some **** about Britney.

I know. It makes no sense and its very sad. Putting someone down to make someone else look better is very low and pathetic.

That's not the point of mentioning Britney, retards. How can you be so slow?

It's quite contradicting for Britney to lip and everyone says it's OK, and when Christina, who EVERYONE knows she can sing, does it she gets slaughtered for it. That's why Britney is brought it up. It's OK for Britney to do that (and Mariah for that matter) but it's not for Christina. That's unfair and pathetic.

The cape & lipping was lame I'll give you that & the outfit was copycat-ish, but that aside, I thought it was one of the more visually interesting performances she's ever done. I also liked the spin she put on GIAB.

We know Britney isn't an artist by Christina's standards, she's a performer. Now we know where Christina stands.

We also know Christina can singer her ass off and she has proven that 5674674674 times. Why are people acting she lipped because she lost her voice or her talent suddenly evaporated?

Because they admired Christina at one point because of her statements and now they're getting a slap in the face from her. Do you not follow the timeline? It really isn't hard to figure out.

The difference is Christina is famous for her voice, Britney is famous for her performing ability/visuals and so people have different expectations of them. If Britney puts on a **** performance she gets as much crap as Christina is getting now for lipping (you only have to look at her Gimme More performance to see that). They are different artists with different strengths.

Mariah and Christina are a better comparison. And I don't think Mariah should be excused at all. She should be criticized even more because at least Christina had a reason for lipping with the dance routine... she was still putting on a show, just a different kind of show than she's famous for. For that reason Christina lipping really isn't a big deal to me, even though it threw me off guard at first. When Mariah lips she just stands there and doesn't make an effort to compensate for it, which is the worse thing you can do imho.

Now that's something else. Getting pissed because she lipped and hence could not hear her amazing voice live is something (which some people are justifying their anger with), and getting pissed because she's contradicting herself is something else.

I find it hilarious how everyone is loving the performance and the song, they're loving this new look/direction she has going on except her own fans. All the hating is coming from her own fans and of course from the Britney fans.

But since everyone else>>>>hating fans.

Thanks :) How are you? I haven't been here forever but I remember you had a little girl that was sooooooo cute!

I don't care if I get bashed... her lipping was a hot mess and her fans know it but of course they are justifying it. I don't think she was necessarily trying to copy Britney but that is how it came off.

I knew there was a cape! Supergirl theme or not it looked tired and cheesy. Sorry, but it did. I am talking about the cape. I actually liked her hair and that mask thing she had on her face...the performance could have been executed much better. Honestly she could have jumped or flew off of something...at least that would make some people forget about the lipping. I felt sorry for her up there though... I mean even Rihanna sang. I can't even comprehend the fact that she actually got up there and lipped.

First of all, no one was pissed, it's mostly disappointment. Second of all, Christina contradicting herself is directly correlated to her lipping. How is it different? If people wanted to see lipping, they would tune in to Britney. Christina was the one claiming and proving in the past that she advocated live singing and even performed songs with depth.

The results from this performance are obviously negative with Christina's contradictory comments. Cause and effect. She brought it upon herself and the backlash from her fans are clearly the consquences.

The funny thing is the majority of her fans actually liked the perfomance(from lookin at the poll that asked who loved it). There is just those random people who keep making more and more threads and posts about how much they didn't like it.

This is the first time I see random people on myspace making bulletins talking about how they loved her performance. The people that came over to watch it at my house also all liked it a lot. saying it was highlight of the night.

Either way the performance was a success.

She totally surprised us by lipping. However, I'm not as mad as some you are. I actually enjoyed the performance. It's not as bad as some of you describe it to be. It was actually great. :)
