Happy Thanksgiving, my BWU readers!
I have a lot to be thankful for, but I had absolutely zero clue that Christina Aguilera would count amongst them. I'm thankful to Christina Aguilera for delivering the most outrageously awful hot mess performance I have seen all year, and maybe last year too.
Thanks to the blog Pop Trash Addicts, I saw Xtina's performance on last Sunday's American Music Awards. The pop diva and reality show judge performed a medley of three songs from her new album Lotus: "Lotus Intro", "Army of Me", and "Let There Be Love". Meaning, she did not perform either of her current singles. For whatever reason, she thought it would be better to perform three random album tracks.
Okay, fine.
If only that were the worst of it. Christina Aguilera delivered a nonsensical, messy performance that could only inspire bounds of laughter (as it did for me). Everything about it was ridiculous, from the dramatic opening, which called to mind Kylie Minogue's "All The Lovers", to her painfully unflattering outfit, to her strained vocals, to the messy drag queen circus catastrophe that was the ending.
The icing on the cake is you could tell Christina put this together thinking it would be an amazing, inspiring performance. Instead, it was a laughable farce that showed just how out of touch with the pop world she is (as if the sales of Lotus didn't prove that fact already).
But as I said, I am grateful to Christina Aguilera this Turkey Day. Thank you, for the laughs.
