old times! it's britney vs. christina again!

hazim and the new asymptotes
hey.hazim here...again. Christina Aguilera has just released "Keeps Getting Better", new song from her upcoming greatest hits album. And Britney Spears' new single from her upcoming sixth studio album Circus called "Womanizer" has just leaked as well. And you know what? They both sound very alike!

So umm, which one do I think is better?

SONG: "Keeps Getting Better"
ARTIST: Christina Aguilera
RATING: OO1/2


Let's see...Christina Aguilera's gunning for a robot vocoded sound now that she's over her retro phase a bit. It's okay, and when she sings "and you'll be lovin' it", she sounds seductive enough to make you forget that she's already got a baby. But then she sings "Next day, I'm a super girl", and you just can't take her seriously. At least i can't. Xtina's always done better on runs and bombast, even minimal ballads but to crouch to Britney's territory is a new low. It's good, but it just doesn't fit her.

SONG: "Womanizer"
ARTIST: Britney Spears
RATING: OOO1/2

Let's see...Britney Spears is having a go at another comeback after her disastrous year under the media spotlight, what with shaved heads and attacking cars with umbrellas and all. This track sounds like "Radar" off Blackout. But she sounds more engaged. This track wouldn't fit in with Blackout's much darker moody undertone, but it's suitable enough for a decent comeback, that is unless Beyonce releases a mind blowing single, which she always does, so....huh. At least she sounds aware of herself this time even though the gazillion times she repeats the title track in the chorus is the equivalent of having a mosquito in your ear.


So.,. I guess I like Britney's more. Cus it's more fun. I can't say I'm a fan of "Keeps Getting Better" with its silly ylrics and all. Let Britney be the android. Xtina, you be the soul. Together, you are ying and yang. Britney wins this time though. Hazim. Out.
