I'm not arguing either, but Dirrty did NOT make Christina an icon. Beautiful did. Dirrty did NOT. It just made the press ridicule her even more.
Something like Candyman is an iconic song. Not Dirrty.
And you just sided with my point. controversy doesnt mean you will be remembered.
but being a GENEROUS and GENUINELY human being will, #WakaWAka

Shakira is actually my #1 fave but i can;t at you guys trying to make Christina seem like she Ain't **** when she is just as big as an icon as Shaki. especially to vocalist who always site her as an influence.

Actually her label has been ignoring Australia COMPLETELY as a market since god knows when, so it's no surp[rise, and it is actually AMAZING that she wolf could chart so high, and waka waka could sell so much when radios refused to play waka waka and played wavin flag instead. She Wolf even charted higher than Not Myself Tonight in Australia

Bionic debut top 5, and slid down uimedaitely, like every other country. As I said, it was the sheer HYPE and probably front page itunes that got it up there, which is great ,eaning she has that solid base, but it shed off pretty quick.
Christina is one of my faves too but the truth of the matter is worldwide shes just not as big as an icon as Shakira. Shakira's music opeens to so many territories, her recent world tour sold out at places Christina can only dream at. Yes maybe in Australia shakira is not as popular as christina, but worldwide, she is a much bigger icon than christina aguilera.
