61. Christina is really trying to copy Madonna. She keeps changing her look all the time. From American girl to wh*** to classy to goth. Madonna can not be copied however. Christina Aguilera would be taken more seriously if she stuck with the classy look. Singers with great voices don't need much image changes because their music is actually good. The sexy classy look is what looks best on Christina anyway.

63. Fat? FAT?! I agree the outfit was not flattering on Christina, but fat?! I'd love to see what the people who are throwing around the word "fat" look like. Yall just won't be happy until these people are skin and bones like the new pics of Kiera Knightly. Like Britney said...either too fat or too thin, they can't ever be just right. A size 2 is fat in Hollywood to you ignorant morons...if Christina stood next to me, I'd look like a freakin' whale, and I'm just an average girl. Her son is 8 months old, my son is 2 and I'm still working on losing all the baby weight. I could lose it really fast if I never ate or threw up everything I did...oh but then I'd be bashed for being a sicko with an eating disorder. Give a girl a break, DAMN!

64. You are wrong. We all know the quality and the undoubted talent of Christina Aguilera and change is always necessary, the wrong criticisms are unfounded as saying that Christina is a copy of Britney or any other. The Britney has never been a singer of truth. It is not true what you are speaking of Christina because that yes, already has proven to be a singer capable of changing with personality. It's easy to see that you call the Britney of the crazy one year ago and now lay by the awards it has won or without needing to open your mouth. Poor. I think that as well talk about a singer of truth, which was consecrated by several prizes OF TRUTH, as a Grammy, something that Britney never did not know it sing, is involved in a scandal after another while Christina leaves her life without personal scandals. If you do things that Britney is being an artist is as good as it is in better rethink that speak.

65. I thought Christina's performance was fantastic. The absolute highlight of the show. Also, how hilarious that you claim she's ripping off Britney by wearing a catsuit.
Look at Beyonce (2006 VMA's), Gwen Stefani (Hella Good), Madonna (Human Nature), Janet Jackson (What's it Gonna Be), Mariah Carey (Honey), Diana Ross, Cher, Jane Fonda (Barbarella), Ann-Margaret & Raquel Welch in countless roles, Catwoman in her various incarnations!
It's a standard look that ought to be in every woman's library. It's about damn time XTINA broke hers out of the closet.
Do your thang, honey!

66. I am so glad that someone besides me noticed. The entire setup seemed to be something right out of Britney's tour when she first met Kfed. The outfit, the hotel looking thing, so NOT original. Sorry Xtina, you can sing better but u are so unoriginal.

67. the performance really sucked. it just lacked passion, originality, and excitement. i don't hate christina aguliera. it's just compared to her past performances...she could have done soooooooooo much better. it reminded me of a cheap knock off of lady gaga, goldfrapp, etc..... her music doesn't really suck, and she's not an ugly girl, it just seems like she made a bunch of bad choices when it came to this performance.

68. The performance sucked!-Why bother having a microphone when you aren't singing. Her outfit wasn't a good look for her-maybe 30 pounds ago but not now.

69. I usually enjoy Christina's performances but last night was a total disgrace for her. It is one of the first times I see her LIP SYNC to a song. And yes people, she wasn't singing for real...it was all recorded. Sadly enough, she usually has such an amazing voice, but now i'm starting to wonder what happened to her last night to make her want to fake it. The outfit merits a -10 since she looked like a prostitute in it. And that damn weave, or wig was horrible too. CHRISTINA, KEEP IT REAL GIRL! Don't need to fake your look or voice, you sound and look great AU NATUREL!

70. I swear I thought it was Brooke Hogan.

71. Sing a nice ballad like "Beautiful". Wear a pretty dress like Brit had on and camera should take close ups. It would have been amazing!

72. I THINK CHRISTINA AN BRITNEY ARE AMAZING IN THIER OWN WAYS. AS A FAN OF BOTH STOP HATIN LET THEM BOTH HAVE FUN. THEY ARE BOTH TALENTED AN BEAUTIFUL. SO PISS OFF

73. Is that really Aguilera? Damn, she still looks terrible and performs like a high school talent contestant, except she's turned into a bad singer too.

74. I DONT CARE WHAT THE HELL CHRISTINA WEARS... SHE'S AN AMAZING VOCALIST...WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL COMPARING THESE TWO? ITS RIDICULOUS.

75. More overengineered modern electronica pop dreck...the music industry is pathetic. These female "vocalists" are 90% image and 10% talent. Xtina has a set of pipes but after watching that video I couldn't even tell it was her. That outfit was horrible. Lip synching is always a good sign...NOT!
