X her career in a nutshell
-2002: She tries to rebel and do the bad girl image with Dirrty. People don't respond well to it because Britney already did it a year earlier with Slave 4 U. She's accused of copying Britney.
-2003:Experiments with eccentric wigs/hairstyles, outfits, & makeup. Gets called a tryhard/wannabe yet years later people like Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, Nicki start doing the same.
-2006/2007: She tries to bring soul back with her next era Back to Basics but gets overshadowed by Amy Winehouse's Back to Black.
-2010: She tries to go electronic/dance with Bionic. Gets accused of copying Gaga.
-2012/2013: Does a dance album when dance craze is dying. Ballads and retro/soul songs which are her style become the trend in 2013.
Xtina lucked out.

Xtina was only surpassed by Beyonce and Pink
Knee is on a permanent nosedive, Xtina will soon pass her again.
2002 - Xtina was never accused of coping Knee. Sure there was similarities with their controversial images, but Knee's was as deep as Xtina's
2003- Stripped was a very successful era for her, I don't see how
2006 - not completely. Did Amy have a tour gross $90 million?
2010 - sabotage, and not necessarily personally by Gaga. The comparisons were all reaching.
