People are so mean :(

hannahbellelechter

I was looking at TMZ (because I'm super bored at work) and a comparison of both Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson in bandage dresses appeared. The comments are just awful. People telling them to "step away from the table" and calling them "fat cows". Granted the dress on Xtina may not look that flattering, she's still way thinner than the average American woman! I'm about the size of Kelly right now, I would say.. and just wondering, does that really make me a fat cow?

Edit -- I was called fat recently by some girls I know. I know I should just ignore it all but it still hurts!

edit -- Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. I know it's stupid to read comments online, but sometimes they're funny. I was just curious.

Honestly they look pretty normal sized. If I ran into them I wouldn't think them fat.
Kelly looks better, but her dress fits better.

InstantSunshine

Obviously not, the internet is full of wankers. Ignore them.

SabrinaG1986

People are jealous. How much do you want to bet that half those people are fat *kitten* themselves?

sexygenius

I think kelly looks hot actually... thats a very unflattering pic of christina though..

I never, ever read comments on articles nowadays. Full of racist, misogynist, cissexist, classist, albeist bullcrap. Really the -ist list goes on.

It makes you normal. Let's face it, most of pictures we see of "ideal" people - both male and female - are airbrushed. I've heard that many models don't even recognize themselves in layouts. Go for real, and as InstantSunshine says, ignore the wankers.

smashleymcgee

No, it doesn't make you close to a fat cow. People are dumb, ignore them. They both just look like regular women, but I liked the dress on Kelly better

Mire's gon' mire hater's gon' hate jelly always gon' be jelly! dont let it stop you from what you want! "^.~"

JediMaster_intraining

they look fine. if christina's dress fit better and had less cleavage i'm sure they would've both looked better than what i would have looked if i wore those! people are so used to seeing thin models and aren't used to seeing average women on TV so that's probably why they made mean comments! don't let it get to you.

LaSutopia

no. they are not fat cows and neither are you. People are jealous of their success, money and fame and they become bitter about it. So they hate on them and talk bad about them any way they can.

Kelly looks amazing.....

seleck05

I actually think Kelly looks really good! People are crazy and expect everyone to be 100 lbs. Some curves look good!

nygiantschick

I'm sure the people who are making those comments are 3 and 4 times the size of them or any other celeb....does that make you a fat cow....uh NO that makes them IDIOTS!!!! Kelly Clarkson is a normal sized woman for goodness sakes!!!!! URGH that kind of stuff just roasts my chestnuts!!!! IGNORE those whankers (I don't know what that means, but I saw some else use that word and I liked it!!!)

sunkisses

Why compare yourself to Kelly Clarkson and then try to internalize the comments of people who've never even seen you (and whose comments are directed at Kelly)? Do yourself a favor and don't look at things that make you feel poorly about yourself.

dmpizza

People shouldn't be mean to you, EVER, but Christina A is marginally talented at best and wouldn't be famous if she wasn't previuosly exceptiional looking.

Promqueen_74932

:flowerforyou: IDC how Skinny a person is, wearing horizontal lines is NOT flattering. I'd kill to look like Xtina right now, so if you're looking like Kelly then I give you mad props!

I'd be HELLA proud at either of those girls' weight, but still keep My muscle mass, cause I've worked 80 lbs off to get where I am. :-D!

Stop comparing yourself to other people, LOVE where you're at, and appreciate where you've been.

Thanks for sharing!

Jealousy and anonymity on the internet makes people say stupid things. If they met either of them in person, they'd probably be too star-struck to speak.

DannyMussels

Those two used to be a lot skinnier. So in comparision to before, they're a bit fatter.

Had nobody seen or known them before, they'd be average.

summertime_girl

They both are normal weights, attractive, and successful. But the dresses are not flattering. They could have chosen dresses that would look much nicer on them.

woou

Some people will always say hurtful things whether they know it will hurt you or not. I just try to be more conscience of not saying anything hurtful myself especially when it's not helpful in any way to anyone, because I know how it feels. "Try" being the operative word here. I know I'm sometimes less than proud of some of the things I say out of frustration or just being way emotional and or being just plain down myself. Not an excuse. Just sayin'.

Yeah, you're right. I'm just super bored at work and have tons of time to kill.

horndave

know it really doesnt mean a rats *kitten* what other people think. It is very easy to sit in secluded seat and throw darts to put down other people. I wouldnt base my thought on myself on a celevrity or what others think right might be. I mean really screw that. I am me. If you dont like me cause of how I look. Your more of a dumbass than I give you credit for. I dont have time for dumbasses.

MsFitnFabulous

Sweetie people are gonna talk about you regardless. You need to make up in your OWN mind that you're beautiful despite what they think. Your pants size had no bearing on your looks. I know plenty of ugly skinny people. Girls are dying to be thin, and for what?? To blow away when a good wind picks up?

In the famous words of Madea, "It ain't what they call ya, it's what ya answer to"!!

seleck05

Also, what is up with the media comparing 30 year old Christina to 19 year old Christina. My family does this same exact thing to me too, oh you used to be so skinny! YEAH when I was a CHILD. Ugh!

_CowgirlUp_

Wow...people really are mean. Now you have me wondering if I'm a fat cow and just yesterday I shared pictures of myself and the progress I've made.

#1. DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF to ANYONE, let alone someone in Hollywood!! Those girls gain and lose and gain and lose just like we all did...we're here though...that's a plus. We're going to put a stop to the yo-yo fad diets and learn to eat right and make exercise a regular part of our lives.

#2. DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF to ANYONE, let alone someone in Hollywood!! Remember, these girls are on the road nearly every day of the year. They're eating CRAP food 24/7 more than likely. Keeping weight off for them has got to be a full time job in itself but then they have ****heads like those posting on TMZ that contribute and add to their already warped sense of self and any emotional problems that they had growing up...it's a loose-loose situation for them.

Don't let people like Hollywood Stars determine how you feel about yourself. I caught myself feeling bad when I saw your post and the comments on these two beautiful bodies and had to reel my self-esteem back in!

xxxTiaxxx

They're overweight. But lets face it alot of those "celebrities" are only "hot" cause they have eating disorders and very strict eating and exercising regimes. Once they got off them we notice cause they all of a sudden start piling it on. People like Christina, Kelly and even Britney Spears are not naturally thin people. They are the ones who have to starve themselves and be forced to do crap to keep that weight off.
I think everyone gets over dieting though.

saraannefrazer

i just read through the comments thats horrible !

Johnnyswife

I frickin hate those dresses. Makes even the smallest womam wearing it, look like they have a big belly..I like Christina's dress cause it shows off her girls, but Kelly's look is better overall. I just wouldn't have picked that dress for either of them. They have great figures, and I hope mine looks like that someday soon.

LelliAmi

Kelly looks amazing...I think xtina is wearing the wrong underwear...lol that's what it looks like to me. But they both look alright to me. People can be *kitten* and I think it's usually because they think of people they don't know as objects rather than people with feelings that could actually get hurt by whatever it is that they're saying. But it's so mean. It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not okay.

Navmachine

if you saw them IRL, you would think they were thin and beautiful, the reason being, is that a 3D view to the human eye is more appealing, and gives you a better perspective on their size. a film or photo is 2D, and therefore our eye judges more harshly, because there's not enough information to go on. hence why photos typically put on a few pounds than is actually there. i work with models, where i see their photos first before meeting them. and i think "oh yes, she's perfect, she has great curves on her." then i meet them and i'm like "oh god, she's so thin! did i make a mistake?" but their photos always turn out great...

and in my opinion, christina's dress would have probably looked alot better if she were wearing better undergarments that prevented her underwear/pantyhose from cutting her thighs like that and making a weird bump under the dress. spanx, ladies, it's a gift from the gods!
