Being a pop star means you can’t even give props to one of your contemporaries without the Internet completely freaking out. Earlier today, Lady Gaga tweeted Christina Aguilera a lovely compliment about Aguilera’s new club smash “Your Body” — but was it sincere?
@therealxtina just bought your new single. Seems the old Christina i loved has returned! Congratulations!! :)

Although rumors of the Gaguilera feud were put to bed years ago, we can’t help but detect a note of shade in that “Seems the old Christina i [sic] loved has returned!”, which implies that a more lovable Christina was gone for a minute. (Gaga must not have been a fan of Bionic.) Still, a note like that from the omnipotent Mother Monster could help buoy sales of “Your Body” among Little Monsters, now that the track is officially Gaga-approved.
But the only clear course of action is for Aguilera to respond with a similarly underhanded compliment. For example:
Oh, Gagz, you’re the sweetest! After a more detailed exploration of ‘Your Body,’ I finally figured out your gender. ;) XoXtina”
seems sincere. she probably means it got her excited like christina songs in her heyday. they have her trademark pop star sheen.
Backhanded compliment.
Lol, the Christina one seems like a not so subtle dig at Gaga.
@DeeZee That’s because it’s NOT from Xtina!! lmfao!!
Shady B*tch! Gaga copied Xtina, not the other way around. BTW this is a new (“rebith”) Xtina… deal with it…
She deleted it which means… SHADE
