Christina Aguilera - Mariah Carey Feud

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, May 17, 2006

Christina Aguilera said some nice things about Kelly Clarkson and had Etta James say some nice things about her in conjunction with a nude GQ photo shoot and a new jazz album, respectively. Aguilera did not have anything nice to say about Mariah Carey, however.

“She was never cool to me… to the point that one time we were at a party and I think she got really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things to say to me…But it was at that time that she had that breakdown, so she might have been very medicated,” Christina told GQ.

But Mariah did not take the remarks sitting down. “I had hoped that Christina was in a better place now than the last time I saw her when she showed up uninvited at one of my parties and displayed questionable behavior,” Mariah said in a statement to Access Hollywood. “It is sad yet predictable that she would use my name at this time to reinvent past incidents for her promotional gain. It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep her in my prayers.”

Nothing like a good celebrity feud. But we give the final word to Christina who responded, telling Access “At this point in my life, I do not want any bad energy with anyone. My intentions where not to upset Mariah with any statements that were published or taken out of context. I have all the respect in the world for her.”

Now, what kind of feud is this? Not a very good one, that’s for sure. The Paris Hilton-Lindsay Lohan spat is more interesting.
