Pitting Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera will always be part of Pop's classic showdown. Now no longer dolled-up but more MILFy than ever, these two sassy moms will now go head to head on two popular reality show singing competitions.
As Christina Aguilera made her mainstream comeback on TV as being one of the vocal mentors on the revolving chairs in NBC's hit singing talent show The Voice, Britney Spears finally wanted to be part of the game by signing on to America's X-Factor for a whopping $15 million dollars no less. (Hey Simon, she better be worth the price tag!)
I find Xtina's stint on The Voice a revelation, it surprised me that she actually knows her shit as a singer, that she's not some shallow celeb bobblehead and that she actually brings something new to the table on The Voice week after week. Xtina treats us to the technicalities of singing such as doing 'runs', hitting notes, 'pitch' and 'breaks' and having good vocal tone. Her soulful pipes can even mimic how a contestant sang a certain note, enough for her to push the point of her constructive critique past Adam Levine's staple snark.
Britney on the other hand, I'm not so sure, this pop diva wasn't known for the strength of her pipes, but more of her pop ditties, dance moves and constant tabloid gossip. But I'm keeping my hopes up, the past decade hasn't been kind to Britney, I'm a sucker for a comeback story and I hope X-Factor would at least do something positive for her career. Britney in the last two years or so, has managed to keep things together for her children at least. Last we've checked, the judge has ruled in her favor, she's got back into handling her own money and away with the bad trappings of Hollywood.
So here's hoping to good TV Reality show fanfare! Can't wait for both shows to come at each other's throats. And while we're at it, let's revisit the good 'ol days when Xtina and Britbrit used to tear each other apart.
