Poor Christina!

Posted By BCHEVOLLEAU on March 9, 2011

Poor Christina! Even though her voice is amazing it seems as though her best days are over :(. Regardless of the recent troubles she's gotten into with the media, its just hard to imagine that she can top the big hits she made years ago. As for her acting, if Burlesque is any indication of what she can do on screen, then her career may not be over!!
