Well Then! Who are you?

So, x-tina has a new video. And there is lots of DRAMA surrounding it. So fun, but so silly! My thoughts and need to share my ramblings are below.

Definitely some Lady Gaga, but also Gwen, Madonna and more... I'd be flattered; it wasn't offensive stealing of looks. I, personally, felt it was more a tribute and amalgamation of some fantastic pop icons/divas.
I am bias on the Christina front. That being said I love me some Gaga and Madonna, and definitely some Gwen. Also, a lot of these looks are "in" at the moment.
Maybe I think it's silly, but what would so many people do if they didn't have celebrity cat fights (real or fabricated) to read about?
ALSO - it's called "not myself tonight"... am I the only one who thinks that this whole "she's dressing/looking like other people" thing is actually quite ironic and funny? And, I'd like to think that publicists and stylists and managers get paid for a reason, maybe intentional?
I must say there are some looks / parts in this video that I'm not as keen on. The gag... I dunno, doesn't do it for me. The pouring of the black... paint? Latex? whatever... super hot. And Christina has often been a little on the overt side with her sexuality, which is cool, she's never tried to hide or lied about it, which I appreciate. There is always something a little dark, and sexy, going on with her. I'm intrigued!
I must admit, the song itself isn't the best showcase for those amazing pipes she posses, and the depth of the lyrics aren't a the same level as "Beautiful", but I still liked it.
I do not approve of the product placement shot. It was poorly done. If it had started with that shot, and, in the same shot her hand came and grabbed the perfume, then cut to her spraying herself it would have been much better. But it was just a crappy choppy insert. Fail at product placement. That style only works if you're Lady Gaga in Telephone and it's more of an overt statement than actually product placing.
And, besides, who doesn't love some sexy controversy?
Anyway, if you are fond of overt sexuality and the sass of the "dirty girl", enjoy: Christina Aguilera - "Not Myself Tonight".
