Here are a few pics of everyone’s favorite runner-up to Britney Spears, Xtina Aguilera singing her little heart out (and possibly busting a few blood vessels) on stage for a special celebratory performance for Trump Tower Dubai at a private residence in Bel Air, CA over the weekend. As usual, Xtina was rockin’ her too red lipstick (and a lovely Julien MacDonald dress, I might add) and was overdoing it a bit much up on that stage:

OK, don’t get me wrong … I honestly believe that Xtina is an insanely talented performer but I don’t know that I will ever get used to her overdramatic performance style. She, quite literally, looks like she is writhing in pain … or possibly giving birth … every time she performs. Her wild gesticulating always seems so forced and disingenuous … like she wants you to really believe she is giving the best performance you’ve ever seen and if she needs to look like she’s having a seizure to make you believe it, then so be it. I may be in the minority but I vastly prefer hearing Xtina perform over watching her perform.

It’s been about 12 minutes since the last celebrity fragrance hit the market so it was about time that a new one make its debut. Xtina Aguilera has whipped up a new perfume called Inspire … which I hope smells better than the ad campaign looks:

In her defense, there aren’t many really good celebrity perfume ads out there (it pains me to admit that Britney Spears‘s perfume ads are usually a Photoshop nightmare as well) so I guess I can’t really fault her for this bubble nonsense. At least Xtina is willing to send folks free samples to try the shizz before they buy it. You can order your free sample HERE … if you do, hit me back and lemme know if it stinks or what.
