Christina Aguilera just released a new album or something and here's the first video that attempts to polish its turd of a song with shiny bondage wear:
Observations:
1)This seems like a parody of something "totally outrageous." She's Marilyn! She's a dominatrix! She's fucking a chick!
2) Wish all the of last decade would have died...
3) but maybe Gaga will have her henchmen stuff this pale imitation into a sack and throw it back into 2002 from whence it came.
Like the less popular girl in 10th grade, Christina has always relied on giving blowjobs in the locker room to best her prettier rivals.
First, Britney won the last decade with her more accessible features and less desperate (hard to believe, but in comparison) attempts at maintaining a fan base of sixth grade girls and old pedophiles. Lady Gaga opened the second decade of the 21st century miles ahead of any other popular performer: she's accepted by the mainstream and embraced by critics. In 2010, Christina once again finds herself a bridesmaid, and resorts to the same tactics employed in 2002's "Dirrty": shouting for her father's (um, fans?) attention while writhing in a leather thong.
Which is all fine. Christina could have sex with a walrus in a mosque in her next video and I really wouldn't care.
The truly disappointing element of this entire venture is its thesis: a return to the shrouded sexual politics of the last decade, which was borrowing them from the 50s and MTV pretended to make them "new."
Christina is pushing thirty but remains a faithful TRL mascot, which she (or her middle-aged male svengalis pulling the strings of her midriff) helped define with "Genie In a Bottle": the virginal whore. "I might have sex with you, but I also might not. You can look, but don't touch. Maybe. Unless I say so. Also, 'no' might mean yes."
The name of the song is "Not Myself Tonight"; the theme of it's video is what in America is called "sexual deviance." Since Christina's "not herself tonight", she will take you home and tie you up. She will do anything you ask her to, because she's not herself tonight. And you can't blame her in the morning. She's a woman who is unable to take accountability for her actions, which may not fit within the expectations of the men she's looking to please. But it's ok because she's "not herself tonight."
After ten years of this though, Christina may want to take a moment to ask what "herself" actually is.
