Christina Aguilera’s promo shot for ‘The Voice’: drag queen glamour shot?

xtina11

I just didn’t know where to even start with this one. The photo above is the official, sanctioned, completely approved-of shot for NBC’s The Voice. A professional photographer was brought in, lights were arranged, hair and makeup people were hired and they likely worked diligently for hours and hours. And this is the best shot of Christina Aguilera they could get. Look at how hunched she looks! While I would normally just claim that she couldn’t stand up straight because she had already downed a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, I actually think Christina is attempting a model-y, high-fashion, lowered shoulders pose, like this junk is for Vogue or something. Beyond the pose, there’s the makeup and hair tragedies, both fighting with each other to be declared worst. It’s a tie. And if that header photo won’t haunt your nightmares, try this pic, also a promotional image for The Voice:

Jesus. No camera should ever pull in that tight on Christina’s face. It’s like drag queen Never-Neverland. Stop trying to hypnotize me with your vodka eyes, bitch.

Okay, now on to how Christina’s drunk ass can barely function. Have you seen the commercials for The Voice? Have you noticed how few lines Christina has compared to all of the other judges? Do you even know how heavily edited this show is going to have to be to give the impression that Christina has even a modicum of sobriety?

    That background looks like something they use at the junior high for yearbook pictures.

  2. Cha Cha Loca says:

    That’s an insult to drag queens everywhere.

  3. Harley says:

    I can’t help it, I really like her. I’m rooting for her to pull herself out of this constant “hot mess” state she seems to be in.

    But, yeah, she ain’t looking good here – and the drag queen earrings/make up do NOT help.

  4. NayNay says:

    She is so played already. I’m sick of this chick. Next!!

  5. Lizzard says:

    I think she thinks that by posing this way it won’t look like she’s put on weight recently. She must watch America’s Next Top Model or something, because that’s a classic Tyra lesson.

  6. malachais says:

    I hope this show flops, I hate all of these singers, except Blake Shelton.

  7. Sassy says:

    Thanks for the promo clip, Kaiser. Yes, Christina has very little “air time” when it comes to her saying anything of substance. Here’s yet another celeb that is not a rocket-scientist. Due to that glaring fact, I agree w/you Kaiser…it will be HEAVILY EDITED.

    However, WHAT UP w/her TRYING to come across as some type of high-fashion, sex-oozing, arousing sex symbol? Look at that clip & see how Christina “vogues.” Makes me want to puke…she’s an ATTRACTIVE GIRL, but she’s NOT A DAMN SEX SYMBOL/MODEL. She’s really been misdirected, and she’s a good singer, but her EGO and “self-perceived sexiness” HAS GOT TO GO….like as in yesterday.

  8. ugh says:

    she really is NOT physically attractive at all!

  9. LittleFATMe says:

    What was it again – 5’2″ and 105 – I don’t think so. I know fat, just look at my name!
    BTW – I don’t think she is “fat” as in HUGE or disgusting, I think she is curvy and needs to not try to Kirstie Alley us. On the other hand, I do think she is gross and it has NOTHING to do with weight and everything to do with that makeup and hair and general funk-ness.

  10. The_Porscha says:

    I am not trying to body snark here, but her weight gain is obvious here. At first she looked good with a little bit of “filler” – not so rail thin – but now it just looks like unhealthy weight… booze weight, I guess. I hope she can slim down a little to where she’s comfortable but not unhealthy, in either direction, and get herself together.

  11. liz says:

    i actually think this is the best she has looked in a long time. so she tried a cheesy pose, at least the makeup isn’t melting off her face. she looks good.

  12. Cat says:

    I have to agree with Liz. She’s been looking pretty rough lately. I think she looks pretty here.

    Her make up has ALWAYS been over the top. You know, “more is less”. *eye-roll*

    As for her weight. She looks fine. She may need to rethink some outfit choices. Not everyone will be rail thin their entire lives. Some are more fortunate than others. I’d rather “embrace” her looking healthy than corpse thin. She just needs to leave the boozy sloppiness behind her.

  13. Eleonor says:

    Oh God.
    I used to love XTina until Back to Basics, at that time she was the best singer of her generation, she had the voice a particular style, she was unique. Now? I see this as the end of her career, being a judge in a talent show to me it’s the prove she is not able to clean up herself and going back to studio for a new album.

  14. Amanda G says:

    What is with the “a great voice, is a great voice…” crap at the end of the promo? I admit that this show has caught my interest though. As for the promo photo, I think Christina looks okay, but the pose is all wrong. Makes her look like she has no neck and I think she’s trying to appear slimmer…not “high fashion.”

  15. Faye says:

    I think she would look a whole let less train wreck trashy if she would do something with her hair. Like condition it and brush it. And change the color. That whitish-blond color looks good short, not long. Maybe Lindsay and her blond haired crack shenanigans has poisoned me, but I think that the color itself isn’t bad, it’s just hard to pull off.

  16. OXA says:

    Please do not insult Drag Queens!

  17. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    I’m sorry but I dont think it was THAT bad…

    And its hard to sit up straight when you’re drunk.

  18. Mimi says:

    I feel horrible for her son. Can you imagine having that face leaning in for a good night kiss. Oh, wait thats right. Thats the nannys job. Phew! Close call, kid.

  19. kimberly says:

    Okay fire the stylist for the promo since the stylist is stuck in 2002. The red lipstick was NOT right to for the look or haircolor since it screams “I’m old, had a baby and didn’t realize that plat blonde and those red lips are soooooooo o7 years ago and not in that cool retro way”

    Stylists are so boring nowdays . . . no imagination at all and their “sleek” looks are more like dawson’s creek than glam or sophistication.

  20. Harley says:

    @LittleFATMe – where is it listed that she is 5’2″ and 105? Pshaw! Not in this lifetime, honey. Like I said, I really like her and want her to pull her sh!t together, but I’m 5’2″ (on a good hair day!) and a buck and a quarter and just…there’s no WAY she is just 105.

    Also, total no sequitur here, but I clicked on your link and saw your weight loss timeline. Mazel Tov! I know how hard it is, so congrats! And I love the meter counting down to your wedding too! 🙂

  21. kwoww says:

    she’s very…puffy.

  22. zxc says:

    Wow I see that EVERYONE here is super beautiful, thin, talented, etc. Yeah why don’t you crucify her if it makes you feel better. You are disgusting.

  23. ew says:

    EW she’s gross and ugly…yes she has a great voice, but why all the porn star antics a la Mariah?!

  24. E.P. says:

    I’m a Christina Aguilera fan. I luv Bionic and Burlesque is a great entertaining fun movie. I hope whatever hardship is going on with her she gets thru’it. But I support her as an artist and vocalist and her choices in her career to challenge herself.

  25. Emily says:

    I don’t know if they did it with lipstick or photoshop, but her lips… You can clearly see where her actual lips end, and where they’ve started to colour around the edges to make them look fuller. Whatever they used, it’s dodgy.

  26. Conando says:

    haters gonna hate. still love her and she looks pretty in this pic.

  27. HookedonBass says:

    Re: Christina’s lack of lines: she has as many lines as that Blake Sheldon (sp?) guy, and he’s a judge too. What scares me more is her glassy, dead-eyed stare. Is Vodka Zombie an officially recognized species? Because I think we have the first video of a live (so to speak) specimen!

    (Also, tangent, but Adam Levine is ADORABLE in that promo. I might watch the voice just to see him.)

  28. Baby baby says:

    I think she looks beautiful. She’s looked the best here than she has looked for the past couple months

  29. Franny says:

    Her makeup is just way too heavy. It’s so thick it obliterates her nicest features, like her blue eyes and high cheekbones. But she likes it that way, she’s been spackling her face like that for years.

    Her weight gain looks like the puffiness you get when you’re drinking. Like, drinking hard. I gained so much weight when I was depressed over my divorce as well. I drank constantly…whisky in the morning, bottles of wine at night. By the time I got out of that drunken funk, I didn’t even recognize myself. Looks like poor Christina is on that road, but hopefully, she’ll snap out of it.

  30. Jag says:

    I think her body and the dress look great, but her pose could be better. As could the makeup, but her eyes are still beautiful. She’s a love/hate thing for me because I think she’s so pretty and has one of the best singing voices ever made in the history of the world, but I just can’t be bothered with her antics and diva behavior anymore.

  31. Kelly says:

    It’s a pity she’s so fucked up, because her voice is incredible, and given a brain, good songwriting and decent management, she could have done something far more memorable with it. I dont know why I have an insy winsy bit of time for CA; on the surface she’s the kind of spoiled vain hoe I would usually elbow out of the way at the bar, but I dunno… it seems like a waste when they actually have talent.

    Those aren’t her eyes, BTW. Contacts, love.

  32. DetRiotgirl says:

    I really don’t get the hate for Christina. She had just as many lines as Cee-lo or Blake, if not more. And, although I agree the still photos are all kinds of sketchy, I think she actually looked very cute in motion. I didn’t get any drunk vibes at all from her in that promo spot.

    I’m really not sure how she got to this point. Her career has completely imploded in the last year. But, why? How does one go from A list pop star to tabloid mess that fast?

    Bionic wasn’t her best album, to be sure. But, it also wasn’t terrible. Burlesque also wasn’t nearly as bad as people made it out to be. Yes, it was a feather weight movie vehicle for Christina to sing and wear flamboyant costumes. But, it never pretended to be anything else. Personally, I really enjoyed it. It was three parts Coyote Ugly, two parts Showgirls and one part Moulin Rouge. Not everything has to be Oscar worthy, after all.

    I realize Christina is a diva who can’t reign in her addiction to the Mac make up counter to save her life. She may also be a drunk. I don’t know; maybe she is just reacting badly to her break up or declining album sales. Never the less, the girl is still talented and I hope she can pull herself together and get her career back on track.

  33. Amanda G says:

    @DetRiotgirl I’m a long time Christina fan as well and it’s really sad what has happened to her in the last year. My personal opinion is that Christina has never really “found” herself as an artist. Each album has been completely different from the last. Bionic wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. She was totally trying to “keep up” with the Gaga’s, Britney’s and Kesha’s instead of doing her own thing. I was also disappointed at the lack of personal songs on Bionic. I think that’s why I loved Back To The Basics and Stripped so much because almost every song was related to her life. I also think it was a HUGE mistake for her to leave Jordy and I’m still puzzled by that decision. I think the best thing for her right now would be to take 6 months to a year off, get her shit together, lose a bit of weight, get a new stylist and work on a good album. She certainly should have enough material for one with all that she’s been through the last year…

    And BTW, I agree that Burlesque wasn’t that bad. I thought she was surprisingly good actually.

  34. Rosanna says:

    Her eyebrows are SO off. She needs to stop doing them that way… her face looks weird, period.

  35. margaritachum says:

    i think she looks good.
    and i don’t think she looks that fat. she’s put a little weight but doesn’t look huge to me.
    but that’s just me since i don’t get the appeal of being skinny. i think everybody looks better with some meat on their bones.

  36. Chris says:

    Me thinks someone is drunk on the Haterade. This is a non-issue. You just don;t like the girl.

  37. bayton says:

    people- you guys don’t know what’s going on in her life right now. I think she looks perfectly fine! sonwhat if she’s not super skinny. I bet more than half of you people should not be in any state to criticize her weight or looks. I think she real pretty
