It's a collection of obvious inferences.
1) Christina is a pop star.
2) Christina is still in-demand (judging by her successful collaborations a giant Voice paycheck).
3) Even "has-been" celebrities who don't have nearly as much demand as Xtina can pull in endorsements. Like, seriously, do you really think Christina Aguilera couldn't pull endorsements? NICOLE SCHERZINGER can pull endorsements.
4) Christina clearly doesn't prioritize endorsement deals. If she did, assuming points 1 - 3 are true (they are), there is no reason why she WOULDN'T be doing more of them. Thus, it's fair to say she's selective.
These are all assumptions and no real evidence. Christina's not bankable as a solo artist. She was offered the Voice because she was pretty much counted out of the pop game and they took advantage of it. She was in a downward spiral career- and life-wise. These are
obvious conclusions.
Christina is only bankable
now that The Voice is a success. You can't argue that Christina was bankable at the jump of The Voice. She was poison. Her entire fanbase was having a huge meltdown because of it. Moves Like Jagger and Feel This Moment were surprise hits, but can you use them as examples of
her being bankable when she can't even bank on her own music?
Nicole had endorsements because she did a successful run of X Factor, she had an album coming out, and she works her ass off. Out of all the pop bitches in the game, aside from Ciara, I don't think you can discount her work ethic when it comes to producing sheer elbow grease to her career momentum. You forgot to mention she was hugely successful with her music in the UK.
You're jumping through a lot of mental hoops to feel as though Christina has ever had some higher moral ground accepting endorsements.
Yes, because the topic of the conversation occurring just now was endorsements, not touring. See, you're starting to do that thing you do where you start off with a point, but then you devolve into generalized Christina bashing when you run out of things to say.
But aren't endorsement just whoring out yourself for money that lacks any artistic merit with your brand? Sure, you're not putting a brand to a name, but it's certainly quite a small and
selective audience you're choosing to cater to when there's a wider and more significantly impacted group of people who made you who you are.
And I think bringing up her private tour is perfectly rational a topic when you're claiming she's employing some sort of ethical process to what's essential the same thing, no matter who the pop star.
