Avril talking about Christina in a interview: "I prefer to retire with dignity instead of being a collaborator"
The princess of Pop Rock was asked about what did she think of her last collab with Chad Kroeger and about "Let Me Go" having more success as a single than the other ones. She replied:
"I like that my songs reach the success that I wait but I like them more when I'm the protagonist..." "... On most of my successes I'm the only performer, so I wouldn't like to retire being a collaborator like Christina Aguilera".
Avril tried to retract saying: "I'm not saying that her career is bad, I mean, I like her voice, it's awesome, but I wouldn't like to finish in a second place for just being a collaborator."
This looks kinda shady since there were also rumours years ago that Avril didn't like Christina because allegedly Christina was rude to her at an awards show or something. Random...
I mean.. her comments about Christina aren't really false because Christina does not seem capable of getting a solo hit anymore but... Avril can't seem to get a hit either way so..
The grammar doesn't even make sense. Avril supposedly said she wouldn't want to retire from being a collaborator like X but X's doing more collabos than ever.

you're reading it wrong.
allegedly Avril is saying that she wouldn't want to "go out" like X is, i.e. being a featured artist on tracks with every artist on the face of the planet in order to scrape a top 10 hit... Avril doesn't want to "resort" to featuring on someone else's song. But it's just not true...
