Christina Aguilera talks about the Lady Gaga comparisons in the latest issue of Billboard magazine:
Much of the early online reaction to “Not Myself Tonight” (and its racy, S&M-inspired video) wondered whether Aguilera was feeling the need to play catch-up with Lady Gaga, who’s more or less come to dominate the dance-diva space in the years since “Back to Basics.” “In these post-Gaga times,” a post on New York magazine’s Vulture blog asked, “can Aguilera carve out her piece of the pop-star pie?”
“I’m in it for the long haul, and a decade later in my career, I have nothing to prove,” Aguilera says. “To anyone who wants to be negative, it’s like, ‘I’m obviously relevant enough to you for you to care and to talk and to evoke negative feelings inside of you.’ “
