Natalia Kills Defends Christina Aguilera On Comparison With Lady GaGa

Christina Aguilera was often compared to GaGa during her last album…
“I think it’s irrelevant and stupid. They both have tits, blonde hair and a microphone – I don’t see why people should worry about it. I don’t think Christina’s unpopularity or lack of fortune recently is to do with the being compared to GaGa. I think that she was at certain level and disappeared, and then came back and tried to fit in with the current trend and it came off desperate. I think if she stuck to her soulful, pop-meets-gospel R&B, maybe her original fanbase would have supported her more. She’ll recover from it, though, because she’s talented.” 

Do you think it’s harder now for female artists to be recognised since Lady GaGa’s success?
“If people like your music and it’s good, then what does it matter? Who gives a f**k? If people like the music, it will survive. GaGa is the most popular artist at the moment, but we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next three years. I’ve been making music since I was 14, before the likes of Christina and GaGa’s music careers even existed. If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they’re doing it for all the wrong reasons.”

  1. haha!! totally agree with this girl!!! compariosns are ALWAYS pointless!!! xtina is always compared to artists infereior to her. (except mariah)…like Natalia said, xtina will last becuase she’s talneted, not that gaga isn’t but unlike brit and gaga (no offense) xtina’s not a product..she used her TALNET to get successful instead of shock value/autotune, etc. THAT’S why xtina will last. I don’t give a CRAP about popularity..it’s not the best thing..it’s only temporary. And i can see where Natalia is coming from in terms of xtina sticking to soulful music..i mean, i know she’s the best in it..but i HATE the fact of the fan base? Just becuase xtina did electronic doens’t mean we shouldn’t suppot her…u don’t have to like certain genres from xtina..but that’s no excuse not to support…..im sure xtina will still continue to sing whatever she wants becuase she doen’st like being pushed around by others and i admire that. I LOVED bionic, and though i can see where peoepl r coming from that she’s better in ballads and stuff..she still pulls off ALL her genres great in their own ways..if only peopel could freaking SEE that!! But yeah, xtina’s compared a lot becuase she keeps reinventing herslef, but really…peopel should just shut up!! i don’t care if xtina not too popular right now…..popularity doens’t define u as an artist….just wait..like Natalia said…3-4 yrs from now..i know xtina will be only one around cuase she’s not a product or sellout.

  2. i would say it’s more of the timing than genres of music cuase xtina has DONE electronic music BEFORE with “Keeps gett’n better” and “just be free.” So i dont’ know why peoepl make such a big deal out of it…i mean, if B2b were for 2010 and bionic for 06..that would have been better.

  3. wow, i didn’t care for her much before but i totally agree with what she said. very well spoken! and for the 2nd question, a prime example is katy perry who is HUGE right now, despite the fact that gaga seems to reign right now in the pop-world. rihanna, who’s been around for awhile, has also kept her success. not that these girls are THE most talented above other artists…i don’t know what determines commercial success…whether it’s marketing or a popularity contest. at any rate, i agree, christina is FAR to talented to disappear this soon (or ever as long as she’s alive)!

  4. I like everything Christina sings cuz I love her voice. Some songs may not be as great as others, but I still like them, personally. I do admire the way she does what she wants too…she’s said she doesn’t care about numbers but about sticking to what is true to her…love that about her and I think Bionic and Burlesque were great!!! Nowadays it is about doing what’s popular and what will catch on with people, but that doesn’t make it better quality music.

  5. “I’ve been making music since I was 14, before the likes of Christina and GaGa’s music careers even existed.” Not that I don’t agree with this girls opinions of the whole thing, because I do, but the quote there was just retarded. Christina was born in 1980, making her 6 years older than this chick. If that girl was 14 that meant Christina was 20 and we already know her music career existed. She seems a bit arrogant.

  6. I’m sorry but this article and interview is dumb, by the way who is this chick? I like how she give back handed comments, she praises Christina for her talent yet throws her under the bus for not making money or have any fans. I’m sure she has million more fans than you Natalia. What made is article laughable was her stating she was in the music business way before Christina or Gaga, now she may have with Gaga but Christina really? I think you need to check your facts again because the last time I check Christina made it in 1999 however she’s made music prior. So, that means you Natalia were still in diapers. What a moron.
