The phenomenon of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera or how the values change.Let
us go back few years ago when both Britney and Christina were about
eighteen years old and were just trying to make their way through up to
the stars. They have always been rivals and though Aguilera''s talent is
more more outreaching Britney''s the latter has always been ahead in
terms of popularity. Until recently.
The girls were always opposing
each other. While Britney was praised by her Mom and puritan society
dreaming to go back to the ancient family values as "the last virgin of
America" Christina was desperately trying to create an image of a rotten
and bold girl.
Britney was smiling innocently and claiming in all
the interviews that her husband will be her first man. Justin Timberlake
was made fun of by his friends, however was ready to make Britney''s
wish come true. Christina claimed that she had her first sexual
experience as soon as she turned eighteen and then was eager to "get the
energy out of men".
Britney''s videos are shown all over the world
, Christina''s are forbidden in a number of Aisian countries as too dissolute.
As
the girls were growing up and getting out of their childish images
Christina''s open photo sessions were top search on Internet while
Britney''s producers were trying to find a new sexy image for her (Boys,
I am a slave for you, Toxic), but even in this videos Britney looks
chaste and innocent.
Then Britney''s first drunk marriage comes up.
The scandal died as soon as it started while Britney got divorced on the
next morning and was repenting what she had done. America has forgiven
her. Finally she meets the man of her dream (Kevin Federlein) and
marries him. She is not confused by the fact that Kevin already has two
small kids whom he gives up for her. She is in love.
Christina also get married to Jordan Bratman. And everything changes...
Britney
and her husband constantly make the top headlines of the yellow press
and tabloids. He is drinking, abusing drugs, having affairs. She is
pregnant, histerical, kicks him out of the house a number of times.
Finally she divorces Kevin and gets into heavy drinking. She stops
talking to her adorable Mother, forbids her to see the kids, goes
through a rehabilitation course
, makes great friends with Paris Hilton
and gets almost deprived of parental custody. She used to be "the last
virgin of America" and now she is a sample of what a girl should not be.
What a joke!
And what about "rotten" Christina? She is happily
married, true to her husdand, does not shock the public anymore and is
expecting a baby. She even stopped her touring around the world putting
pregnancy and family above all.
So is everything gold that glitters?
Are the good girls as good as they seem and the bad ones as bad as they
appear? This is rather a rhytorical question...
