Following songwriter Claude Kelly saying that comparisons between Christina Aguilera and Lady GaGa are "crap", Akon recently offered his opinions on the controversial battle. View his comments by clicking 'Read More':
“Aw man, that’s not even any competition,” Akon tells VIBE. “You are actually giving Christina too much credit. She always had her cool little look and way about how she went about things. But soon as Gaga came out everything switched up. Christina stepped out of her own shell to become something different. And the crazy thing is Christina is really talented. She has unlimited range when it comes to singing. Her voice is out of here. I just think she just needs to believe in herself more. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out.”
Akon hopes Aguilera’s upcoming album Bionic showcases more of her dynamic voice and less of the up-tempo, electro pop bad-girl anthems typified by her latest single “Not Myself Tonight.”
“Christina shouldn’t have anything to prove or anyone to compete with,” he continues. “I miss the old Christina Aguilera. I like the old one better than the new one. Honestly, Gaga and Christina could probably get together and do something that’s amazing. But that’s impossible if they are both trying to do the same exact thing musically.”
While no one can deny the success that GaGa has experience in the past year and a half, it has to be noted that Christina has consistently changed her look and sound with each album (see: 'Stripped' and 'Back to Basics').
The platinum blonde hair, red lipstick and attention grabbing outfits have all been utilized by the singer at some point in her career, so to link that back to GaGa is giving the "Poker Face" singer way too much credit.
