Who'd Have Thought

Five years or so ago, who would have ever thought that it would be Xtina that would still be putting out excellent records, making kick-ass videos, marrying (and staying married to) a seemingly normal guy and generally avoiding all the pitfalls in the road of pop stardom?

And who would have thought it would be Britney who had two failed marriages, two kids, a propensity for cheeto-eating and walking barefoot in public bathrooms and too many trips to rehab to count?

Not me. Xtina, I apologize. You have defied my expectations. In a good way.

Britney? Not so much.
