Hmm... this could be interesting. We are all aware of the relationship Christina and Pink have had over the years, so it was extremely surprising to see that Pink would be advising all teams this upcoming week on the The Voice: Semi-Finals.
Initially, as most of you did, I automatically thought about the shade both artists, especially Pink, who had been throwing at Christina anywhere she could (Interviews, tv specials, as well as tours). For those of you that are not aware, this "beef" started way back in 2001 when Ron Fair entered the "Lady Marmalade" meetings and requested Christina receive the biggest part, vocally. Which didn't sit well with Pink. In addition, Christina penned Linda Perry, who had previously worked on Pink's "Missundaztood", to help her produce and co-write tracks for "Stripped", which has become a favorite among fans and non-fans alike, Pink decided to cut ties with Perry, as well as increase her dislike for our girl.
More than 10 years have passed since this all went down. Both women are now mothers and legends in their own right. The Voice just released a sneak peek at Pink's mentoring skills.

[NEWS] RITA ORA WANTS TO REMAKE 'LADY MARMALADE' W/ MILEY + IGGY + CHARLI
In a recent interview with The Sun, Ora said that she's always wanted to make a new version of the classic song "Lady Marmalade," and if she ended up doing it, she would enlist Miley Cyrus, Charli XCX, and Iggy Azalea for the collaboration. "I'm trying to round up the troops - I think it would be me, Miley [Cyrus], Charli XCX - she'd be fun - and Iggy [Azalea]," Ora said.
Ora revealed that she's always been a fan of the song, which was originally released in 1975 by the group Labelle, but was of course covered in 2001 by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil Kim, and Mya. It's unclear if this is actually going to happen, but the fan reaction would almost certainly be all over the place.
Thoughts?
Do you think these 4 women would be able to accomplish what the previous 4 did? I could think of 4 completely different women that could bring that song justice. Hopefully people decide to leave it how it is... perfection.

[NEWS] JIMMY FALLON AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE JUMP TO THEIR FEET FOR CHRISTINA AGUILERA
...With that, Kimmel and Fallon both downed their whiskies, and when Christina Aguilera hit the stage to belt such hits as Lady Marmalade, Fallon and Timberlake jumped up from their seats and began dancing and making each other laugh. Looking out into the audience, Aguilera confessed to wanting some of the Chivas Regal whiskey that had been served earlier in the night, saying: "I was so jealous, I was like, 'I have to perform.'"Source: THR

[NEWS] WETPAINT: TOP 5 CHRISTINA AGUILERA LIVE PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME
Long before her days as a judge on The Voice, Christina Aguilera was first and foremost a fantastic performer.
She’s won four Grammys and numerous other awards for her groundbreaking music. Here are our Top 5 live Xtina performances of all time.
[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY] [SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY] [SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY] [SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY] [SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]
She’s won four Grammys and numerous other awards for her groundbreaking music. Here are our Top 5 live Xtina performances of all time.
1) “Lady Marmalade” With Lil’ Kim, Mya, P!nk, and Missy Elliott at the 2002 Grammy Awards.
It’s hard to top this electrifying group performance at the 2002 Grammy Awards. This song also won the Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals that year.
2) “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” at the 2007 Grammy Awards
Many years before Season 2 contestant Juliet Simms brought down the house with this iconic song, Christina blew it out of the park. It was also the year of the white pants suit. Ah, memories.
3) “Dirrty” at TRL Presents: Christina Aguilera Stripped in NYC 2002
We all remember the days of Xtina’s revealing chaps, fondly referred to as the “Dirrty” years, from 2002-2003.
4) “Genie in a Bottle/ Come on Over” Medley at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards
It all started with a little song called “Genie in a Bottle.” When the post- Mickey Mouse Club Christina debuted her new song at the 2000 VMAs, she did it with this creative mashup (and, of course, wearing red spandex pants).
5) “At Last” at Stripped Live in London in 2003Source: Wetpaint
Xtina has become famous for covering Etta James’s classic “At Last.” The pop diva even sang the legendary song at Etta’s funeral last year. This 2003 performance was especially impressive.

[NEWS] 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' BREAKS NEW RECORD BETWEEN TWO 'BEST NEW ARTIST' WINNERS & REACHES PLATINUM CERTIFICATION IN THE U.S.A.
Though Mick Jagger hasn't topped the Hot 100 in 33 years, he remains an icon. "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera this week becomes the second #1 hit in less than two years that name-checks the rock legend. The first was Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," which spent the first nine weeks of 2010 at #1.
Both references are highly flattering: Jagger was depicted as a hottie in Ke$ha's song and as a classic mover in the Maroon 5 smash. Even so, I suspect he'd trade the flattery for a hit of his own. Jagger hasn't topped the Hot 100 since August 1978, when the Rolling Stones scored with their dance/rock blend, "Miss You." That was the band's eighth #1 hit. They scored their first, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," in July 1965.
"Moves Like Jagger" is Maroon 5's second #1 hit, following 2007's "Makes Me Wonder." It's Aguilera's fifth; her first since 2002, when she scored with another collabo, "Lady Marmalade," which she sang with Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink. "Lady Marmalade" was boosted by a movie, Moulin Rouge. "Jagger" owes its popularity to a TV show, NBC's The Voice, on which both singers are judges.
The song is #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the second time in three weeks. It sold 217,000 copies this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, bringing its 10-week total to 1,326,000. It jumps from #15 to #11 on Top Radio Songs, with 72 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.
Both Maroon 5 and Aguilera won Grammys for Best New Artist (for 2004 and 1999, respectively). This marks the first time that two former Best New Artist winners have collaborated on a Hot 100 hit, much less a #1. If that doesn't get them booked on the Grammy telecast in February, nothing will.

[VOTE] CHOOSE CHRISTINA FOR VMA 'MOST OUTRAGEOUS' 'MOMENT' & 'OUTFIT' & 'BEST VIDEO'
Outrageous moments are nothing new to the MTV Video Music Awards, the two go together like bread and butter.
We suppose things are bound to get a little wild when you throw the biggest stars in the world into a room for the express purpose of having a good time. The VMA's are unlike any other awards show around because the point isn’t to have a quiet, dignified gathering to honor the best album by a 100-piece orchestra; it’s to rock out and give props to the hottest things in music in a particular year.
Instead of sleepy applause and thanking the academy, you get the Queen of Pop locking lips with her heir apparent or living legend Diana Ross getting a little grabby with an overexposed Lil Kim. That’s just how we roll here at MTV.
While just about every VMA moment is pretty outrageous, a few definitely stand out and have withstood the test of time to burn themselves into the collective consciousness of we connoisseurs of pop culture. Help us decide which of these eight incidents is the most outrageous moment in VMA history.
- Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic tosses bass/smacks self in face during “Lithium” performance (1992)
- Howard Stern’s Fartman appearance (1992)
- Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley kiss (1994)
- Courtney Love crashes Madonna interview (1995)
- Diana Ross grabs Lil Kim’s pasty-covered boob (1999)
- Rage Against the Machine bassist climbs the set (2000)
- Madonna kisses Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera (2003)
- Kid Rock vs. Tommy Lee fight (2007)
Award shows are all about fashion. We drool over the glamorous gowns actresses sport for the Oscars and the Golden Globes and scour the Internet to see who dressed like a fool at the Grammys. But what happens when the traditional rules of award show attire go out the window?
The MTV Video Music Awards, that’s what!
At the VMA's, sexy is key and anything goes. It's all about who can get the most ink for wearing the wildest outfit. Seriously, what other awards show can say someone wore a meat dress to their festivities?
From pacifiers and pasties to dresses that also serve as advertisements and men in pink pleather and roller skates, wild outfits are the norm at the VMA's. But who takes the cake for the most outrageous outfit ever?
- Lil Kim’s pasty (1999)
- Prince’s blue jumpsuit (1999)
- Macy Gray’s “Buy My Album” dress (2001)
- Andy Dick’s Christina Aguilera outfit (2001)
- Mudvayne’s bloody faces (2001)
- Britney Spears’ leather biker ensemble (2002)
- Christina Aguilera’s denim skirt (2002)
- Jack Black’s Michael Jackson gear (2003)
- Lil Mama’s pacifier (2009)
- Lady Gaga’s meat dress (2010)
The ‘90s shattered the conventions of the music video. Suddenly every musician wanted their video to be the biggest and splashiest of all. Budgets roared to insane levels – Michael and Janet Jackson’s 1995 video for "Scream" is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive ever, costing around $7 million – and video directors became stars themselves (hello, Hype Williams, David Fincher and Mark Romanek).
So by the 00s, a video had to be on point to get much attention at the MTV Video Music Awards. The concept had to be solid, the costumes needed to be out of this world and the special effects had to be through the roof. You want a brothel featuring some of the biggest pop starlets in the world? You got it – Christina, Pink, Mya and Lil Kim are waiting. Care to see Rihanna control water with her bare hands? Just don’t forget your “Umbrella.”
It’s a lot to live up to. But so far eleven videos can call themselves the best videos of their respective years. Which one is the best of the decade? We’ll leave that one up to you guys.
- Eminem, "The Real Slim Shady"
- Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, & Pink f/ Missy, "Lady Marmalade"
- Eminem, "Without Me"
- Missy Elliott, "Work It"
- Outkast, "Hey Ya!"
- Green Day, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
- Panic! At the Disco, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies"
- Rihanna f/ Jay-Z, "Umbrella"
- Britney Spears, "Piece of Me"
- Beyonce, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)"
- Lady Gaga, "Bad Romance"
