wow - the first song was aweseom and then i realized it was genie in the bottle - WTF - so much better than the original. I am SO EXCITED to buy her new album it sounds like its going to be aweseom and i cant wait for the videos that are going to accompany it. The performance was great too - but i was jarred by her lipsyncing - its just that with Xtina she almost always performs live so it was kind of jarring to see her lipsync - but the performance was great.

Her performance was almost as bad as everyone of Brittney’s acceptance speeches. “Thank you God.” Give me a break.
I didn’t think Christina would ever lipsync …HORRIBLE!

i am a fan of britney, but need to give credit where credit is due. christina looked great tonight and if it had been britney that came out and put on that performance i would be the happiest girl in the world right now. i wish she performed.
sara, you know she can sing. it was a fun performance, to see her dancing and the new music is such high energy, was cool.

It was like watching the Britney debacle last year. I can’t believe people desecrated Britney last year and are raving about Christena this year. Wow. Very poor choice of clothes. She is the wrong size for those clothes. Sure she looks amazing for a woman who just had a baby - I’m just saying she chose poorly in the wardrobe department. She looked downright LARGE (then who didn’t - hello Rihanna. Got thighs?) The make-up was horrible. The lip-syncing. Awful. The dancing is not up to par. Christena can SING but her performance tonight stunk.
It hurt to watch.

Give the girl a break. She’s totally in tune with her career. It is a dance song, surely you cannot expect her to jump on stage and sing. Everyone must remember that she always out does herself. One occasion of lipsynching is barely enough to compare her to Britney - they’re completely different in every aspect. Go xtina, South Africa loves you!

Christina was by far the best performance on stage this year… Although I loved Pink’s performance too.

Wow, stay without words with this presentation really she is not the christina to whom we are accustomed to seeing and listening.
I get disappointed a bit by the fact of getting used to listen to singing to me of a certain way but as fan of christina. I must know that she always chooses for the reinvention and this time achieve totally it, she does not look like to britney for those that here they write it rather to LADY GAGA the artist that I sing in MISS UNIVERSE.
That speak what they want this there is alone a face mas of our Xtina that always creates a role for every video this time that of a modern eroina. Definitively it was the better of the night it I recognize it after recovering of the impact.
Sorry, my english is bad… I try… learn
VIVA CHRISTINA

I thought Christina looked absolutely hot, amazing, sizzling! I love the new look and the new song. I especially love the new version of Genie in a bottle, i like it better than the original. And anyone who has ever seen her in concert knows that she doesnt lip-sing, she is as good in person as she is on her cd’s..

Too fat, how come people butcher Britney when she was fat, but not Cristina? She looks worst then Britney last year. She needs to lose weight, so disgustingly fat that looks like a cow.

Pinky7010….
Seriously??? Christina just had a baby like 8 months ago…I think she looked amazing. So inconsiderate! U shouldn’t make nasty comments like that…cause u probably wouldn’t have been able to lose the baby weight as fast as she did :) lol
Comparing her to Britney in any sense is retarded. We all know out of the two who can sing…altought she lipsynched the performance, she has nothing to prove AT ALL. She’s a great performer and completely upstaged Britney’s performances.
And for all those upset that she lipsynched…get real and give her a break. That song is so up beat…she loves to give great performances and she knows what she’s doing. So many damn people acting like they could have done everything better than her.
Love you Christina!…Keep doing what you do girl.

OMG! Christina is one of the best on that night!! :) Yes, she lipsynched but we all know that she’s the best singer in her generation right? She’s way way better compare to Brit Brit last year.
and who’s that Lady Gaga? she’s not even famous…. did she copyrighted that look?? LOL
You call her fat? OMG looks who’s talking.
@sara: don’t pretend you’re a fan bcoz your not! you’re just trying to justify what you have commented LOL

I am a big Christina fan- the performance wasn’t bad, and the song was good- BUT she didn’t need to lip-sync the whole time. I think she could’ve started out without the lip-syncing for “Genie in a Bottle” and then went into the lip-syncing when she got into the dancing. I am a bit disappointed in her. And for whoever was ripping on Christina and Rihanna for having a bit of meat on their bones is crazy. They both looked great and have wonderful bodies. Men love them- Skinny isn’t always pretty or hot! They look good and the love it!

Now that she’s a mum, she doesnt look or seem that hot to me anymore. She looks like she’s had botox or plastic surgery on her face. I hate her new song its crap. But I love britney spears and beyonce coz they’re hot hot hotttt!

why the hell did she lip sync for???? Argghhhh shes so retarted now. Its like she was trying to act like britney, i.e: the lip syncing, the new ‘pop’ song, the outfit, the dancing. That is not how christna aguilera normally sings or performs. I was so dissapointed in her. CHRISTINA IS A BRITNEY SPEARS COP CAT!!
On September 8th 2008, AJ wrote:
She wasn’t lipsyncing - well, not completely. She was singing with a backtrack that was turned up louder than her microphone so that she could perform her dance routine and still sound good. At the end when she went to the second stage (and the dancing wasn’t so intense) they turned her microphone up so she could finish the song live.

I thought that Christian did a HORRIBLE job lip-singing. I don’t think that she chould have been any more obvious. I have seen Ashley Simpson lip-sing better than she did…lol I’m just kidding, I don’t watch Ashley Simpson. Anyway, maybe she needs to practice it a little more. For me, it totally took my attention off of the entire performance.

she was lipsyncing… its pretty obvious!!! what a shame!! i’m shocked that she would do that….
On September 8th 2008, _LOL_ wrote:
Well Christina can’t dance.
She looked fat.
She was obviously lip-syncing, and she used to bang on about that’s how she was different / better than Britney Spears.
But we all knew that Britney needed to lip-sync because she was primarily a dancer/performer.
NOW AGUILERA FANS ARE STICKING UP FOR HER LIP-SYNCING BY SAYING SHE NEEDED TO AS SHE WOULD BE TOO OUT OF BREATH FROM DANCING !!
WOW. Honestly..
Aguilera looked like she was trying to be Britney, but Christina will never be her. Yes, she is a good singer but that’s all. Britney is the dancer/performer. Give it up Aggy.
(PS- There’s nothing wrong with being fat or a little on the large size, just don’t wear skin tight trousers or you will get comments)

will you all get over it, wow she lip synched, every artist has done it. every artist. i dont understand the big deal, you people call yourselves fans? you guys ever think she did this whole thing with the clothes and the lip synching to get people talking? well if so, it worked. so get over it all you losers crying about it, you all know the girl can sing better than anyone in the business right now. really, its not that big a deal, she still killed it on that stage and the new songs were sick. so to you so called christina fans dissing her on here, stand by her, she knows what she is doing, she knows the business a hell of alot better than you. and to the haters, keep hating, cause your only making her money by talking about her

Christina as always stole the show, i loved her on the red carpet, she looked smokin hot, come on how many people would love to have her body even w/out having a baby, she looks good super skinny and with abit of meat on her bones, i LOVED her performance, we all know that she is the best singer of this generation she does not need to sing live to show she is a good singer, how many people her age has gotten to sing woth Andrea Bocceli? i like britney and i do have to say she does look better now but she looks so damn fake, almost like she is medicated, she can’t even accept an award, CHRISTINA YOU ARE A SUPER GIRL, YOU ARE OUT TO SAVE THE WORLD AND IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER. And to you haters who keep talking about her weight look at yourself in the mirror.

Christina Aguilera was great, and we all know she can sing, if she lipsynced, well good for her as i could not notice. for a new mum she rocked the joint! as for you all beefing, give it up or get a singing career and see how you fair. Rihanna is the one that needs to improve her life performance skills!
God bless Christina Aguilera

ok, I trying again….
Christina meaby look little fat and so what? She is a human being, already it, she was readjusting her figure, she today only worries for being a mother, at least not was at vmas in panty hoses as the bRITNEY that beside being drugged and fat in her presentation of last year She leave us to see all this cellulite that was giving disgust.
It is true that CHRISTINA used Playbak and believe that this did not do it for lack of voice. She has demonstrated previously that she can sing and dance at the same time this way that . the real reason only she know it.
Also it is true that the look of her performance makes see as LADY GAGA but this one to be a coincidence since Christina was interpreting surely in her new video a modern heroine because of it she used this suit!. This one is other disguise (front) of many that to included for her reinventions, Xtina it is not necessary to copy him of others and less anybody who is not not famous at all. She has not needed to do it in all these years and basing me on her, career at this point much less.

are you guys kidding me whoever is saying that she is fat can eat dirt either your fat yourself or a skinny whore who doesnt eat she just had a kid people and in my opinion she looks GREAT and as far as rihana goes have you ever wore those kind of boots! well i have and they do that to your legs cause they are tight even if you are a slimmer person and are a size two like me you still get the bulge at the top so stop picking on other people who look better than you and grow up!

Christina wasn’t out of shape by any means, the outfit was just wrong. The worst part about the performance was that she had to lip sync. That is obnoxious for anyone to do, but especially her. I have always enjoyed the fact that she can actually sing!!! Oh well, just another disappointing VMA performance, what can you do?
On September 16th 2008, Angelica wrote:
These picture do not give her justice! She was wayyyy hotter and who the fuck cares if she did not sing? Rihanna lip sang the year before so maybe Christina will perform again next year and sing for real. She has a beautiful voice and a beautiful body. People who call her fat should relize that after having a child a body like that would make any mother feel fat. And Britney wannabee? Um, no. I’m a bigger Britney fan but they have almost nothing in common anymore. People need to get away from the Britney vs. Christina crap. They are friends and its okay if people choose to like both of them at the same time!

First of all Christina is just trying something new like every other artist so dont hate on her…..secondly she can lipsynch all she wants!! She has already proved to us that she is one of the greatest vocalists out there belting incredibly high notes, riffs, etc….watch her in concert or onthe grammies ull see…. She has already step foot into the house of musical legends ….Who is someone to say that Christina is copying lady gaga- a nobody who has been out for only a year…In all honesty Christina is one of the very few artists, to bust his/her ass through performances to get where they are today..Britney didnt have to do that..SHE JUST HAD THE RIGHT CONNECTION..just being honest

So what if Christina lip syncs or not. Britney does all the time and yet for some reason we still love her. Christina didn’t copy anyone. She was inspired by comic book super heroines/villainess. What’s Britney’s excuse? I just hate when people compare these two. They are two different people. Open your god damn eyes people.

First of all xtina is far more talented the brit. at leat xtina dosnt have to lip sync every song she does like brit, she is not messed up in the head like brit, she is a better mother then brit, and a better singer then brit. you want to say see trying to be like everyone else. she put her twist on things like everyone else does. where do you think peolpe get pashion from. someone is always taking some ones elses ideas and mking it ther own. xtinas music i real. most of the comments about christina are pathedic and rude. why cant you fucking people quite being so negitive. you disgust me. xtina and brit are two diffrent people with two diffrent styles. how can you compare threse two. who fucking cares if she lip synced at the vmas. brit does it all the time. you dont bitch about her. XTINA ROCKS. she is an amazing and talented singer/song writer and has her head on her shoulders. if you open up you fucking eyes you will see that. at least her real fans love what she does.
