Is Christina Aguilera the most underrated Pop Icon of all time?

She simply doesn’t have the discography. It’s true what users said, she missed out on this by not releasing more frequently in her prime. Choosing the quality over quantity route ultimately hurt her. So far that, she is fairly rated today. Plus she was able to transition to the Latin market after bomb albums like Lotus and Liberation.

She has one of the most notable and celebrated voices in her generation. She just doesn’t have a memorable career and her inspiration is overly attributed and often reduced to Stripped. Nobody wants to be the next Christina Aguilera for instance.

 

Lana Del Rey for example is hugely underrated. The fact that she has inspired a whole ass generation with her music is a testament of that, yet the industry keeps paying her dust despite the fact she drives in outstanding crowds and record breaking music for whatever reason.

There's compelling evidence of pop girlies being obsessed with her and wanting to be the next Christina Aguilera. Aubrey O'Day, Lauren Jauregui, Sabrina Carpenter, Jordin Sparks all come to mind so what exactly are you talking about? Do elaborate.

Christina Aguilera is absolutely iconic, the only thing that she is missing is a proper peak, to me it feels like she never really peaked and it is all her fault. I don't blame her for choosing family over work but them long breaks truly hurt her chances, the release of noise collection Byeonic alienated her original fanbase, they escort themselves out of her fanbase and left her with a bunch of new fickle fans who don't really support her music. She just needs to release an album in her true Aguilera fashion -as in with a banging body- and she can reconnect with them though. 

 

Provided this comeback i am talking about, good sis will cement her status a legend. Proof of her lack of awareness is what's happening with her Australian gig... The demand was so overwhelming they had to put more tickets on sale. She is the only one guilty of the state of her commercial success right now, she abandoned her fans for way too long but most of us re still here for her just waiting for that call... True old fashioned aguilerian call, like when she was truly serving pop superstardom, not the mess she's been doing lately looking a mess and sounding like her peers vocally.

There was a time where she could have released anything & it was going top 20. I understand the wait debut to Stripped but it was a massive mistake not releasing another album after Stripped & following up her Spanish debut.

 

Ultimately Christina is (happy), (beautiful) & very satisfied with her career. Many artist WISH they had her career. She didn’t want to be as huge as Beyonce. She choose peace, mental heath and family over this mega star career. 
 

Christina stats are very impressive for someone who barely release. She’s underrated in the sense that i feel like she hasn’t given her all for an era since Stripped. It would be nice to b see what she’s actually capable of in today  climate.

You could say she peaked with her first album, considering is almost Diamond-certified, she had 3 #1s and 1 Top 10, a massive tour, TV specials, Grammy, tons of other awards, a successful and Grammy-winning Latin album. Stripped could have extended that peak but "mistakes" were made. If Beautiful had been the lead single instead of Dirrty, I think she would have done much better in every metric.

I do think she is fairly rated as a singer but she is not an artist with songwriting skills or being a producer so she is dependent on chart successful songwriters and collaborators and nobody cares to work with her today. 
But as a feature she still might be fine

Since you brought those artists up why don’t you post the receipts so we can have a conversation about it?

She's not underrated as much as she's simply underappreciated, no pun intended. People know she's an epic vocalist with great songs.

She is one of the most underrated pop icons, yes.

 

Christina Aguilera has the awards, looks (if you care about that), vocals, and discography ALL in 2023. What's not to stan and why aren't more people stanning her? Because she's not topping the Billboard Hot 100? :toofunny3: I really don't know what happened to appreciating talented artists in the music industry. Charts and looks come and go, but talent stays forever.

I'm so fascinated by her. She SHOULD have a career like Beyonce and I disagree that the GP doesn't know her... ? That's why I referred to her in my Title as pop icon (like Madonna, Britney, Janet, Michael)

Christina Aguilera is a household name and A-lister. After having a decade of consistent success in the music industry, she debuted on one of the most popular TV shows in the United States for over 5 years as the highest paid judge per season. Anyone saying the GP doesn't know her is a troll. :rip:

 

The reason why she isn't commercially up there with Beyoncé is because Xtina lost her drive for music, something she spoke about a lot during the Liberation era. But she is just getting warmed up again and we'll just have to see what the future holds. :alexz:

Hm, I'm not sure about that. She debuted in the peak of sales and still has underwhelming career numbers compared to her peers. Artistry and quality music is completely lacking in her discography outside of Stripped. Her voice was great, but very technically-flawed and not quite great enough to overlook the subpar quality of her music (i.e. Celine and Whitney's voices transcending their mediocre work). Her fans attribute her swift decline to a gap in releases that wasn't really there. The true problem was that her albums and singles were almost always subpar and she was usually piggy-backing off an up-and-coming sound another artist had introduced (Britney, P!nk, Gaga).

Excuse you? Most of Stripped was written by her and Scott Storch, there's producers on video praising her songwriting skills and you come here gaslighting people into thinking you are somewhat close to a coherent statement? You though you did something but you DID NOT. Christina has even written songs for other singers.

And accomplish what exactly? You will still try to disregard the fact that she is the most influential female artist of her generation and claim that your opinion is a fact. Even when... Again, there's video footage of your faves praising her and citing her as their main influence.

Writing flop songs doesn’t make you a relevant songwriter so pardon me but your argumentation is full of s h t.

 

Beautiful, Genie in a bottle, Say something are her biggest songs and not written by her, no songwriter credits.

Sure, but as an American she’s not as well known as she deserves to be here. 

Because that was her own doing. She just didn’t push herself into the US market. Even she mentioned that.

But you are already claiming her as the most influential artist of her generation without providing factual prove of that so what I gather from your deflection is that you choose to believe that and accept it as a fact rather than to engage in a conversation you will most likely lose.

 

Beyoncé, Britney Spears and P!nk have stood the test of time, constantly inspired a  generation of artists such as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Tinashe, Normani, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat among others that have cited them as their main influences over and over again so I fail to see how Christina, the less successful out of that group, managed to inspired artist when she couldn’t even keep a fanbase strong and alive.

She was just nominated for Latin GRAMMY Record of the Year and just hosted a climate change fundraiser with Al Gore and regarded as a vocal legend in the industry plus one of the highest paid singers in the world who is booked and busy. Still I agree she is underrated. :celestial2:
