Lady GaGa/Christina Aguilera

Ever since Christina Aguilera came to the music scene she has been compared to so many acts in the industry – Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, to name a few. And the latest one is Lady GaGa. It all happened when she debuted her new bangs for her Keeps Gettin’ Better performance at the MTV Music Video Awards. And the comparisons began!

But songwriter Claude Kelly, who wrote four songs for Christina’s upcoming album, Bionic has something to say about it.

“That’s crap to me…it’s really bullshit,” Kelly tells VIBE. “Christina Aguilera has been around for over 10 years now. As far as pop goes, she is the defining voice of today’s music. She can do things with her voice that I haven’t heard anybody else do. She’s constantly reinventing herself. As fans, as soon as an album is done and an artist disappears for a while, we tend to write them off as over or no longer relevant.”

Kelly continues: “In the time that she has been gone, Gaga, who I know pretty well, has had an unbelievable run. Christina has an album that’s going to slap people in the face. The music still has her signature, big note vocals and emotions, but the sound is definitely more aggressive, more futuristic than the last album.”

When pressed about how Aguilera intends on proving the naysayers wrong, Kelly points to his work on Bionic.

“I wrote this crazy ass song with Tricky Stewart called ‘Glam,’” he says. “It’s a hard club song that’s about high fashion. It’s really for the ladies about getting dressed and looking your best, working it in the club and getting glam and sexy before you go out. Christina wants to talk about getting sexy and independent, but being strong at the same time. It will surprise people. I’m calling it a modern day ‘Vogue.’ I wouldn’t say it unless I believed it.”

Lol! AHEM SISTER!
