That was hot wasn't it? Wasn't it!??! Ok so yah... after watching that video, I myself couldn't help but notice some similarties to other artists where she may have been "inspired" by, NOT "copied". And let me say this... it's ALL Madonna people! What's bugging me is all these Lady Gaga comparisons. I mean, really?!?!? I LOVE Lady Gaga and all but that's just bull! Just because Christina is wearing unique outfits means she's copying Gaga?!?! Wait, so Gaga is the ONLY artist that can wear latex and sunglasses? Bitch please! If you really feel that way, then Gaga is copying Jennifer Lopez then because that bitch was the first to be rockin' some hot shades in her videos like "Love Don't Cost A Thing".
And as I had told Taj when the video premiered, I have a feeling there are going to be comparisons to the "Bad Romance" video. So waking up this morning and going to Perez Hilton (shoosh! I like the site, hate the person; it's like - liking alcohol and hating the hangover, there's a difference bitches) and on his site, he's labeling the video "Gaga-inspired" and had video screen captures of comparing the video to "Bad Romance". First of all, he's an idiot. Really?!?! Of course he's going to compare it to her because she's his "wifey" and thinks EVERYTHING Gaga does is orginal in it's own and she doesn't copy others ::cough::GraceJones::cough:: What makes him an idiot is if he would step off his biased pedestal, he would see that the video is inspired solely on Madonna! The video is clearly inspired by the following videos: Human Nature, Justify My Love, Express Yourself, and Like A Prayer. So how is this video more "Gaga-inspired" than Madonna?!?! I blame queens like Perez for that.
So, after this little rant, here is what really annoys me: pop diva music fans
Why pop diva music fans? Because I'm SICK AND TIRED of all the little tweens and queens who debate, pratically religiously, on who is better than who. All I have to say is: Who gives a FUCK?!?!?
What ever happened to just loving music?!?! Why do people feel the need to say this artist is better than that artist? Why do people feel the need to battle it out with others on declaring a certain artist's credibility based on octave levels, dance ability, singing ability, award achievements, chart accomplisments, longevity status and "original styling". Is it going to make me love the artist any less? Is it going to validate your artist any more? Is the artist you're "defending" going to personally call you and thank you for saying she's the best? Does anyone BUT you going to care who you think is the best artist anyways??? The answer to all those is: NO!!!!

I'm annoyed by all those who compare Madonna vs. Mariah. Mariah vs. JLO. Mariah vs. Whitney. Britney vs. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga vs. Christina. Christina vs. Britney. Beyonce vs everyone. Just STOP! Again, who gives a fuck?!?!
If you love a particular artist over another one, that's awesome! Everyone has their own preference. But don't think that your preference is better than anyone elses! Music isn't a contest people; it's creative substance that stimulates our senses through sound and performance.
Can we just go back to loving music? Just embrace it, enjoy it, and celebrate it! Stop hating on it, labeling it, comparing it, and belittling others! Every pop artist is talented and unique in their own way but their uniqueness doesn't make them better than anyone else.
So in ending... can we just enjoy Christina Aguilera's new video? Thanks!
Amen. Wise words from a young Pup
