In a recent interview with Out magazine, Christina Aguilera chuckled when asked about Lady Gaga.

“Oh, the newcomer? I think she’s really fun to look at.”

These comments apparently caused an uproar, mainly from celeb blogger Perez Hilton, both on his website and on Twitter. However, Christina recently went to her website and posted a short blurb about her comments from Out being taken out of context, and her track record of being compared to other female pop stars (aka Britney Spears):

Dear Fans,

I would like to take a moment to clarify something that has been brought to my attention this morning. It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama-especially between us women. So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story…I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that.
There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.

This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.

“Can’t hold us down….”

With love,
C/X

We have reported on the similarities here on LadyGagaLive.net, but what do you guys think? Is Christina “Clonetina” as Perez has said?
