As in, did you think they were the most talentless hack the first time you saw them, but now you' re actually impressed?

I gotta go with Christina Aguilera. When she first came out it was obvious they were making her out to be just another Britney. She had the generic teeny-pop beats. The generic teeny-pop look. The generic teeny-pop everything. The only difference being she was never as popular as Britney.

...but who' s still here? Exactly. Britney has dried up and all but faded from the mainstream. But Christina didn' t sell herself out. If you' ve heard her new songs, she' s nothing like how she original appeared. She finally has her own style, look, even her singing is different (and vastly better). I actually like her song " Fighter."

I think everyone was pretty positive Christina was gonna fade way before Britney did. But it' s cool to see artist overcome the odds and come into their own like she has.
