Christina Aguilera plans to stop by "American Idol" in May to give fans a taste of her upcoming album Bionic, but some who have heard the first single "Not Myself Tonight" have compared the new Aguilera sound to Lady Gaga.

"It just comes with the territory. That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on," she told the Bert Show on Q100 in Atlanta Tuesday morning (April 20). "I've been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for myself. [When I was younger] I would have engaged, been a little upset [about the comparisons]. There's a bigger picture out there. I've got my son, my family, my work."

In another interview with Atlanta's Star 94 FM on Tuesday she added, "No rip-offs, we're all inspired by different things. I was inspired ... by artists that came before me. ... You know what I love about the new breed of newcomers is that they're risk takers. They're doing things that aren't so safe. ... I always had the guts and passion to do things like that. ... I'm happy to see that people have come full-circle and are now accepting it and are into it and these girls have the guts to do it."

It's not the first time people have compared the two blond pop stars. In 2008, Aguilera addressed the comparisons, revealing that she didn't even know who Lady Gaga. "You know, that's funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago," she told the L.A. Times in November 2008. "I'm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don't know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn't sure. I really don't spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect."

She always comes off as such a snobby bitch when she really has no right to, given her floppage.

What "floppage" might you be referring to?

Not Myself Tonight, a shit song that is flopping.

What a bitch!

VoicesCarry said:

Oh, that struggling single.
I'm certain she has better tracks on the disc. I'll deem her a failure when she spirals down to Janet's level.

Identity said:

Feedback will have a higher Hot 100 peak and sell more digital downloads than Not Myself Tonight, so.....start deemin'!

Remind me again what's going on with Janet's "Nothing"...

Identity said:

That's a shit song, too. Are you trying to start a diva fight or something? I really couldn't care less about Janet on the charts anymore, so it's not going to work.

Identity said:

I didn't think the song was great at all. I thought I saw up on the Itunes singles charts when it first came out....but now it's 69...that ain't sexy, baby!

VoicesCarry said:

Really? I thought she came off very pc.

VoicesCarry said:

Good, because that makes 2 of us.

Identity said:

Hater-bitch.

Start deeming, hun. She's 29 and already irrelevant and still pushing that "Dirrty" image.

sosgemini said:

Nah, she's well known as a cunty bitch, and it's actually one of the reasons why I love her, but she really needs to come harder and back up her attitude with something worthwhile if she expects to be able to maintain it.

you'd think after it was pointed out so frequently and vocally in 2008, she might have had a thought to do something that's not so obviously Gaga. especially if she's going to continue with this ridiculous "it's nothing like her, i never heard of her" routine

errant said:

Well what kills me is NMT pales in comparison to pretty much anything in GaGa's catalogue.

of course. if it wasy any good, she'd get a pass. she pretty much did with Keeps Getting Better.... because it was a decent song. this time, it's not going to work.
