Aww snap! It seems Akon’s got a bone to pick with Christina Aguilera. The “Smack That”s star is growing tired of the persistent comparisions between the petite powerhouse and his protege, pop queen of the hour Lady Gaga. Christina — who drops her new LP Bionic<\/em> this June — has been accused of swagger jacking Gaga since she emerged from a de facto maternity leave with blonde bangs and a saucy new look almost two years. Akon thinks its high time he weighed in on the debate, he thinks Christina is imitating Gaga when she should be in the studio working on tracks that showcase the impeccable voice that’s kept her in the limelight for more than a decade.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAw man, that\u2019s not even any competition,\u201d<\/em> Akon tells VIBE. \u201cYou are actually giving Christina too much credit. She always had her cool little look and way about how she went about things. But soon as Gaga came out everything switched up. Christina stepped out of her own shell to become something different. And the crazy thing is Christina is really talented. She has unlimited range when it comes to singing. Her voice is out of here. I just think she just needs to believe in herself more. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He adds that on Bionic<\/em>, Christina should stick to the power ballads that show off her outstanding vocal range as opposed to the up-tempo dance anthems that are more Gaga’s staple.<\/p>\n \u201cI miss the old Christina Aguilera. I like the old one better than the new one. Honestly, Gaga and Christina could probably get together and do something that\u2019s amazing. But that\u2019s impossible if they are both trying to do the same exact thing musically.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Akon, Good Damn Day! Did the entire “Stripped” era totally escape you? Xtina was Lady Gaga eight years before Lady Gaga was Lady Gaga. Next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aww snap! It seems Akon’s got a bone to pick with Christina Aguilera.
