Christina Aguilera Enters a New Era

cover art for Christina Aguilera's Not Myself Tonight single

I love the new Christina Aguilera single Not Myself Tonight! She’s released the video for the new track, but some are suggesting that she’s copying Lady Gaga.

Sure she’s wearing her dominatrix-esque latex outfits; however, I feel Christina’s reinvention is just the next evolution for the pop star. Her new looks reference her previous eras. She gives us a little Dirrty Xtina, a little Lady Marmalade Christina, and a little Candyman Christina all set to a fierce dance beat.

What do you think? Did Christina copy Gaga, or is she taking a page from Madonna’s legendary career and reinventing herself again?
