Christina Aguilera is just flat-out copying Madonna at this point

Good Lord. We get it, Christina. You’re a sexy bombshell, and no one has ever done anything as original as you. Except for Bette Page, Madonna, Dita von Teese, and countless others. Speaking of Madge, Christina ever wears a cone-bra in the photo shoot for GQ Germany (below). What the hell? There’s a fine line between homage and just flat-out unoriginal copycatting, and Christina blew through the “homage” line a long time ago. As CB pointed out here and here, Christina is basically just doing Madonna circa Express Yourself through Human Nature, musically, stylistically, and contextually. It’s sad.

Christina is also the cover girl for the new issue of Latina, and she’s wearing so much makeup in the cover shot that even the Kardashians are like “Honey, take it down a notch.” In the interview excerpts, Christina is still saying the same old stuff about how her dad was an abusive jackass. While I believe her, I’ve also heard these quotes at least six times.

These days, singer Christina Aguilera is a happy wife (to Jordan Bratman) and mom (to 2-year-old son Max). One person not in her life? Her estranged father Fausto Aguilera. Their relationship, Aguilera tells Latina magazine, is “pretty nonexistent. I’m in a place in my life where I just don’t see a reason for it.”

The pop star has said that Fausto, a former U.S. Army Sergeant, was emotionally and physically abusive; he and her mom, Shelly Kearns, split when Christina was just seven, and she rarely saw him after that.

“To remember the chaos that [my mother] went through, the abuse, I don’t know how she did it,” Aguilera, 29, tells Latina. “But it’s amazing how much you can trick your mind into surviving when you have to.”

“There’s always room for forgiveness,” the “Not Myself Tonight” songstress adds. “And I do forgive–but you grow up and make choices for your family.”

In 1999 — when Aguilera first became a teen pop rival to Britney Spears — she reunited with Fausto after 12 years following an NYC concert. “We spoke for the first time in a long while. Really, he’s a stranger to me,” she told Rolling Stone at the time. “He’s apologized,” she added. “I think he had a lot of guilt.”

Things are infinitely better with Bratman, whom she married in 2005. “Jordy was the calm in the storm when everybody else was driving me crazy,” she tells Latina.

“I had a lot of older people around me who were conniving–and these people do that so you cling to them. He was the person who reached down, pulled me out and made me see reason. I’m very lucky to have him.”

The June issue of Latina hits stands May 25.

She also did a recent radio interview where she claimed that she‘s now “more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m even a more sexual Christina… That’s part of the change of having a child for me – seeing your body do these things you never thought possible. When you have a baby, you go through a period where your body is not your own. It becomes for your child and that’s it. Once you bounce back from that and kind of get your body back … I feel better than ever. It’s a great feeling.” That may be true. But I’m always wary of people who are trying that hard to convince you of how sexy they feel. Plus, she’s like Jessica Alba to me – whenever I see photos of her, all I think is “That poor miserable little girl.”

    Don’t let her stans read this article because they will search you out and shout at you for 20 minutes about how she changed their lives and is the best thing since sliced bread. She’s the most original of originals and don’t you dare say otherwise.

    You in danger girl…

  2. Kaboom says:

    I am very bored about “look at me”-stunts.

  3. faye says:

    so’s lady gaga.

  4. a says:

    totally agreed. plus, she threw in the gaga eye/hand gesture in thumbnail #3…

  5. Just a Poster says:

    Didn’t she get the memo, nobody cares how ‘sexual’ she is? So sad when she is the last to know.

  6. ViktoryGIn says:

    @ a

    co-sign. Of course, you can’t make comparisons to Gaga without someone jumping down your throat, but that hand gesture is blatantly obvious, whether she meant it or not.

    Anyway, so bored with this shit. Really. Does Christina not have the creative juices to express her sexuality with some damn originality? Sure Gaga is really not THAT original when you pick her apart, but this right here is conspicuously derivative.

  7. Kayleigh says:

    We get it, you had a kid but you are still gross. No go put some dang clothes on please. You’re someones mom.

  8. Oi says:

    But Gaga is a copy-cat too. Madonna et al. should be proud.

  9. Me says:

    Well, no one is original anymore, are they? GAGA? No. Aguilera? No. Spears? No. Selling your own porn is no longer original and neither are overdoses, car crashes, gun fires and kills, nothing. All has been done and recorded already. All of that has then been repeated at least once by someone. To be super bitchy, I’d like to see some of these twats come up with a real original way of suicide. I doubt it thou, because since Sixties celebrities can only come up with pills, booze a drugs. Boring!

  10. Joan says:

    I definitely see a Madonna-like resemblance but I also think she is trying to bring in a little Mae West sexiness to it. I think she looks nice even though she may be deemed a copycat.

  11. Vibius says:

    Well, its not like she can copy Britney anymore. (not that Britney was original)

  12. MingMing says:

    Generic copy-cat.

  13. Ron says:

    Madonna is the most successful female recording artist and a brilliant marketing mind. She has a myriad of different images/looks to choose from. She is the blueprint for a lot of the female recording artists of today. The difference here is that Lady GaGa takes pieces and parts and makes them her own for now. This is just a blantant copy of the Human Nature video. And please Xtina, just go ahead and copy the Sex book now so we don’t have to hear how sexual you are ever again. It’s so boring anymore, like a hooker saying she’s done it alot. We know.

  14. Alarmjaguar says:

    I’m eh about the photos, but she’s definitely right about the whole getting your body back after having a baby and, in my case, breastfeeding (which is kind of bittersweet).

  15. Sakota says:

    I am so sick of how she goes on and on and on about how ‘in control’ of her sexuality she is. I get it. It’s really tiring. To be frank, it looks like her sexuality is in control of her.

  16. RHONYC says:

    @ “But I’m always wary of people who are trying that hard to convince you of how sexy they feel.”

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    ain’t it da truth!!!

  17. girl says:

    I completely agree with your assessment, Kaiser.

  18. jover says:

    In all this childish sex kitten talk does Xtina actually talk in any detail about her new “music.” No, because it’s crap; as all the other posters have stated this is beyond tired, played out, copied and aped. Here’s a thought: how bought showing up at a concert Xtina in a white blouse and jeans and just sing your songs – the crowd will be stunned at the truly new Xtina. BTW, is she deliberately cashing in on her hispanic background – how latina is she since she hasn’t overtly identified with latin culture – I guess you troll for fans anyway you can.

  19. Missfit says:

    For Pete’s sake!!! This girl IS a talent and has LITERALLY got a VOICE, she shouldn’t have to be doing this sex crap to sale and the gimics. All she has to do is SING! Why Christina, why? I think she may have had it hard through post partum depression after the baby, that I think she’s not so “confident or sexy” as she claims and she wants to show how cute her body still is afterwards. Shit, she might as well pose for playboy. We get it, you got your body back, now put your clothes back on. I don’t like porns and I don’t like movies with nudity…I’m like, turn that shit off. Even if it’s a favorite actress or singer of mine, I am NOT going to want to look at her nude. I had liked her cover better back a long time ago that was on Marie Claire, she looked really cute and natural. I thought that was the look she was going for with this bionic album. It better have some damn good ballads, that’s what I love the most about her. I miss her singing with feeling and emotion and belting out some good shit and she’s for real. I love her back then cause she was more REAL and RAW. It’s just that some talented people such as her or Mariah feel like that they don’t have to try as hard in singing anymore after a good while in the business and they are all divas. Oh and another thing…I thought you were beautiful, no matter what they said? So you shouldn’t have to do all this crap to prove your “beautiful or hot.” You would already be beautiful without this. You were much more beautiful in Haiti recently, without the makeup and how your hair was messy and you were natural and in your jeans and shirt, now that’s real beauty, not all this crap.

  20. KateNonymous says:

    When she started promoting this album, I saw some of the shots and said to Mr. Nonymous, “Are those from Madonna’s Sex book?”

  21. blinditemreader says:

    Why did she suddenly get so tiny again?

  22. ViktoryGin says:

    @ jover

    I was thinking the same thing. She may be half Ecuadorian-American, but culturally the girl is white. Now, had her deadbeat poor excuse for a sperm donor father been part of her life, I could understand. That Latina would put her on the cover is pathetic and telling. It’s good that she accepts that part of herself, but don’t use it to sell magazines. It’s like when she covered a Spanish version of her first album. It was pandering. It felt like her record company was using the hispanic community to sell records. She doesn’t even speak Spanish. She’s as hispanic as Vin Diesel is black.

  23. Emily says:

    @Missfit, I never thought of it, but if she had post natal depression, that could explain a lot. Still, I wish she’d drop this Madonna/Gaga/dominatrix crap and go back to just SINGING, because that’s something she does better than any popstar around today.

    “She has a myriad of different images/looks to choose from.”

    You mean from the several images and looks Madonna took from others herself?
