Christina Aguilera Says She Doesn’t Hate Lady GaGa

Christina Aguilera has denied rumors of a feud between her and Lady GaGa.

The 29-year-old singer, who recently returned to the music scene after a few years off to have baby Max with husband Jordan Bratman, was believed to be jealous of GaGa and has referred to her as a “newcomer”.

Aguilera wrote on her website: “It is very easy for comments to be taken out of context and create unnecessary drama – especially between us women.

“So I would like to tell you all directly so my words can not be misconstrued to sell someone else’s story… I have absolutely nothing against Lady GaGa or any other female artist in this business.

“I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.

“This is not the first time I have been unfairly pitted against another female artist, but it will be the last time I comment on the matter.”
