I'm not great at the clap back because I get easily flustered by criticism. Her clap back was a vicious rumor targeting the girl that stole her boyfriend.

Christina María Aguilera VS Mariah Carey
The Comment:
“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.”
The Clapback: 👏👏👏
“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. 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.”
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson VS Britney Jean Spears

“I ran into her recently at a party, and she wasn’t the nicest, and it’s crazy because I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done with fashion. I’ve ran into her before, but this time it wasn’t the most pleasant run-in.”
The Clapback: 👏👏👏

They weren't discrete about their..love..for each other.
Didn’t she diss Beyoncé in that one too? Strippedtina was savage.
Lmao I forgot how messy Xtina used to be
Not the only party Christina crashed
the other theory was Michelle deleted that tweet and Keyshia wanted her to admit to it but Michelle never responded.
i swear there was a post on ONTD and the Tweet came from Michelle's account but she said it didn't come from her official Twitter. so i went with #PoorMichelle because i'm not reporting #FakeNews.
why was it Melissa's fault?
"My little sister was born with crack cocaine in her system, so when I see someone like Keyshia Cole, who is defying the odds, doing her thing and taking care of her family…"

A classic.
It's ashamed about the 'beef' between Xtina and ha idol growing up Mariah. Was Mariah throwing the shade first? Was Xtina #DisplayingQuestionableBehavior #Uninvitedly so? I need these queens to settle this.
What's disappointing is the Mary J Blige story where allegedly Xtina stuck out her hand for Mary to kiss. Of course Mary wasn't having it. Maybe Rudetina gets flustered around the admires?
Whhhaaaatttt????????
That's so beyond anything to me.
i'm glad she's more about #Positivity and not #StandingInLine nowadays tho.
we should all love and support each other. #LetThereBeLove (available on iTunes)
shadyTweets, but I like to imagine the way she must've been while approving themIggy shade was iconic.
Xtina shade was iconic.
Justin shade was iconic.
I love that she doesn't go out of her way to shade people. She'll put them in their place if called out. i.e. when it was mentioned during an interview on TV that Xtina talked about her, and she was like, "Really? But...didn't she kiss her too?" and the infamous (and previously mentioned) "Well, when she walked up to me in the club and tried to shove her tongue down my throat, that was a bit much."
Bahahahaha. <3 Oh, Britney. So many reasons I stan ha.
