I think she's part of an era of pop that is now pretty much over. If her career doesn't change for the better after this, I don't think she'll be rememberd as much as Bey and Brit. Both those ladies have made too big a mark on the industry and on pop culture.

I agree with this. I think she definitely had her time, but it's very specific to a certain time period and generation.
Britney was the biggest pop star in her prime and indisputably most culturally relevant during the time period of her and Christina's prime and Christina never quite reached those staggering heights -- she was always second fiddle to Britney while Bey was on a different path and trajectory altogether with the group then solo R&B crossover route. Bey has outlasted them so her major moments are cross generational and more relevant with more people of different age groups.
Where the other two are first place in at least one area, Britney for the massive size of her peak and cultural relevance, Bey for her longevity, consistency and ability to remain extremely relevant -- musically and cultually -- for so long; Christina falls behind in both areas.
