The Old Britney VS Christina "Rivalry" Arises

by DEXIE on October 7th, 2008

Way back from when they first started, all the way back to The Mickey Mouse Club, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have been coaxed, poked, encouraged, manipulated, rumored, prodded, written, and instigated to have a “rivalry”. Call it whatever you want. While the 2 Pop Stars were happy getting their foot into the music industry, the mainstream media were even happier to have found the gold mine. 2 Stars, from the house of Mickey Mouse, whom probably during their time in Disney were actually bestfriends are making waves in the Pop Music genre at the same time. Pretty much. Talk about a storyline of all storylines for media and tabloids to exploit and capitalize on.

Who deserved to take over Madonna’s throne? They didn’t realize Madonna is going to stay on that throne as long as she wants to, heh. Who sold more albums? Who will lose her virginity first? Who will show up in a slutty outfit? Who will crack first? Whose life is more worthy to paparazzis’ paycheck. I think we know all the answers to that, don’t we? At this point, it’s just a matter of personal preference.

Who is the better Pop Star? Britney or Christina? That became the mantra of all mantras when it came to these rising Pop Stars. Both were nominated for Grammy’s Best New Artist where Christina took home the trophy. Forget the fact that there was another Pop Star trying to make a name of her own. No wonder Jessica Simpson went on to make a reality show, venture into fashion and eventually left the Pop genre to try the Country Music scene.. She never had the chance. If only Madonna added her as the “3rd wheel” in the infamous MTV VMA Kiss with Britney and Christina. Maybe Jessica’s future would be so different today..LOL.

Anyway, back to Britney and Christina, the “old rivalry” has been set up. Starting with Metro UK who just had a conversation with Christina where Brit’s new single was brought up :

On her Britney Spears rivalry, Aguilera swears she hasn’t been monitoring her new ‘Womanizer’ show.

‘Honestly, I haven’t. I’ve been so sort of in my own creative cave. But no, it’s a great feeling to still be in the game with somebody that you have known for so many years, even going back to the Mickey Mouse club. We had so much fun together.’

But she adds: ‘At this stage in our lives, we are so different I don’t think you can put us in the same ball park.’ (SOURCE)

Good answer Christina. With their albums coming out so close to each other (Christina’s is on November, Britney’s is on December), I’m pretty sure the stage is being prepared for another “fight” for Madonna’s throne between the two. Albeit albums being dropped are completely different from each other since Christina’s is a hits compilation and Britney’s is a full-length studio album. The proverbial “competition” is going to rise again. The doors are being prepped.

Personally, I like them both. But I’m more of a Britney Spears fan though. What can I say? I prefer dancing (sometimes) over singing songs with too much bravado. Hey, “It’s my Prerogative” darrnit :).

How about you? Do you prefer one over the other? Why? What do you think of this undying Britney VS Christina rivalry which will inevitably invade the air we breathe in before you could say, “Go Green”? :)
