The most bizarrely overrated pop star of the last 10 years. "Come On Over Baby" is awesome, and there's a poppers-in-the-air mix of "Hurt" that is great and "Dirrrty" is fun in a club but... apart from that, if she vanished, the world would not have noticed.

words can't bring her down
nor can she be held down by nobody
she is a fighter

Too much singing about "me"

Not enough singing about "maaaaaaaaay"

This is why Britney > Christina, obv.

Britney is better overall but I still like "Genie in a Bottle" better than any one Britney song.

Seconded! (The overrated part.)

Didn't have trouble with this one, really, because I've always been perplexed by the appeal of Xtina, especially as some kind of "relief" from Britney Spears, who has ALWAYS been head-and-shoulders above her as an artist/performer. Don't like her (Xtina) singing style particularly, despise her recent makeover and its social implications for "cleaning up" (gag me). She definitely hasn't been given many hits, considering she's been in the game so long. Deserves an overall score of 5-6.
