Unlike Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, Christina Aguilera actually has talent. Her music for the most part isn't my cup of tea (with the exception of Back to Basics, it had some fun songs), but I can't deny her singing capabilities, which she sometimes abuses (take the aforementioned National Anthem botching for example).

I think it's silly that we care this much about these things and make this big a deal out of it.
