Concert: Christina Aguilera
We went to see Christina Aguilera in concert last night. The wife likes her and her music and I have to admit to the guilty pleasure of liking a few of her songs. Combine that with the fact that she’s smoking hot and into a vintage pinup inspired phase, which I really dig, and I was definitely down for going. If we were going, I decided I wanted to be close enough to… enjoy her music. We got a comparatively decent deal on 5th row (like I said, I wanted to be close) tickets on Stub Hub, where I saw that Danity Kane and The Pussy Cat Dolls were opening. I don’t really care for either group but we saw them so I suppose they deserve a mini-writeup.
First, I’d like to offer a word about the concert itself. As expected it had its fair share of teenage girls, gay men and parents trying way too hard to be cool. Seeing who was in the section with us, it was quite obvious that a lot of money had been spent on these kids and their parents not only hadn’t previously realized the sexual overtones of the music and dancing, they also didn’t really care what their teen girls were wearing. They also didn’t seem to mind that pretty much every girl in the place were yelling at the top of their lungs so you heard as much shrill screaming as you did music. I was close and it didn’t impact my viewing ability so whatever, I dealt with it.
Danity Kane
So evidently this group is the product of Puff Daddy’s (he’s always be Puff Daddy) Making of the Band. We only caught one song and I’m guessing they really only have two or three so I was okay with that. They were a cookie-cutter replication of any other trendy pop chick band that shakes their ass in skimpy outfits and in that sense they fulfilled their role. There’s really not much more to say than that.
Pussy Cat Dolls
I actually find their music downright annoying but some of them are hot and well, that’s all that really matters. With their start as a burlesque style show the emphasis was placed less on actual singing ability and more on shaking their ass stripper style (versus real dancing). Some of the chicks didn’t really sing at all and some of them couldn’t even shake their ass very well. The whole performance was cheesy and manufactured but again, I wasn’t there to see them sing so I was okay with the outcome.

Ah yes, Christina, where do I begin? Should I start with the vintage pinup look, the plethora of ass shaking or the tiny outfits that seemed to ride up all too nicely? Maybe I should start with the whips and knee high boots or the sailor uniform or even the sequined girdle she wore during various songs throughout the night. Or perhaps I should mention the stripper poles, suggestive simulation of fellatio on an unsuspecting audience member or the neato burlesque style mini-video that was playing on the giant screen during one of her many outfit changes. Could it be better to start with how well she’s combined a coy, demure starlet and an overtly sexual entertainer into such a well-proportioned, tiny little package? Regardless, no review of Christina’s concert is complete without saying that the girl can sing. She wasn’t lip syncing, she was hitting all the right notes (sucking on what appeared to be a lozenge between songs) and really belted out notes that no white girl, not even one with Latina heritage, should be able to hit. Her vocal ability is legit folks and that’s impressive in this day in age. So lets recap… she’s hot, has a great sense of style (now… screw that Dirty phase), can ‘shake dat ass’ and has true talent as a singer and song-writer. Yeah, safe to say I have a thing for her and enjoyed the concert.
As somewhat of a side note, we made a classic blunder and left the camera in the car because I thought they weren’t allowed. It turns out that only “professional” and video cameras weren’t allowed so the little Canon point and shoot would have done well, especially with our seats. Instead, all I have to show we were there are some very crappy cell phone pics. I kept telling myself that I could and have found much better pictures on the internet but somehow that doesn’t make it okay. There’s just something about being there and having awesome pictures of hot chicks performing to prove it.
I won’t even bother explaining what you’re looking at, ‘cause it doesn’t really matter. Instead I’m going to include some pictures I found on the internet that were taken at one of her concerts. The first is pretty self explanatory and shows you just how money she looked. The second is the setting for the aforementioned "suggestive simulation of fellatio."
