everything is about me....

Guilty confession: I went to the Christina Aguilera concert! My sister got three free tickets so rather than letting it go to waste, I went knowing that I will hate it. As expected, it was one big production number with elaborate costumes bordering on ridiculous, high-tech stage, and a lot of caterwauling. She sang perhaps more than ten songs but it would seem like it was really just two songs, all her ballads sounded the same and all the fast songs sounded the same. She recycles lyrics that sometimes do not make sense at all. Admittedly though, she can sing unlike her other contemporaries (Spears). Aguilera has a flair for theatrical performance and her music has soul influences that I guess she has never really been bubble gum pop. Her song "Beautiful" though lyrically unremarkable actually gets to you when you hear her sing it. So what if Marilyn Manson was screaming "fuck you" on the radio when I had my first kiss. It does not make me a freak, I am beautiful no matter what you say.... oooopppsss.... everything is about me! Hysterical laughter.....
