And does it look familiar? It should. Billie Holiday did a similar photo, like, eons ago. See?:
Original, right? Of course. If Christina Aguilera is anything, one word that comes to mind is certainly ‘original’. I mean, she cares about world hunger … She’s legit, guys.
The thing is, however, that lots and lots of people are touting this new LP cover to be, and I quote, “smooth,” “stunning,” “sultry,” and “sexy,” and since that’s a whole slew of ‘s’ words, I’ve got an ‘s’ word of my own to add to the ever-growing pile: scoured. This picture has been scrubbed, scoured, and sifted so that every trace of what Christina pretty much looks like today is completely obliterated. For real. Because while yeah, that cover is definitely smooth, stunning, sultry, and sexy, it’s also entirely simulated, too. ‘Shopped. Seriously.
Here’s a snippet (heaven help me) of Christina’s allegedly-new single, ‘Easier to Lie’:
Perez Hilton says it’s not, but hey. I’m not going to take his word for it or anything, come on.
What do you guys think of Christina’s look? Purported single snippet?
The snippet was a nanosecond… sounded totally electropop, not the least bit Billie Holliday-ish.
But Sarah, good spotting for finding the original inspiration for her photo shoot!
How do you do it, girl? What did you graduate in? Looking to spot the modern day poseur/ cultural rip-off artist?
Not to downplay Sarah’s knowledge, but that’s a fairly iconic and well-known photo of Holiday.
I think Christina looks great, but I would have liked her hair dark for this. The blond is a bit visually jarring.
Billie Holiday’s photo is way better. Keep trying, Xtina.
