Lady Gaga visited the Voice US to promote current album project Artpop, treating the audience to a unique version of current single “Do What U Want.” featuring Grammy Award winning pop star/voice judge and longtime rival Christina Aguilera marking the end of a much hyped and heavily publicised rivalry dating back from 2011. stemming from comments similar to the one below.
Christina Aguilera on Lady Gaga: “Oh, the newcomer?” Aguilera told reporters when asked about Gaga. “This person was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.” – W Magazine June 2011

For this reason Xtina was chasing Lady Gaga’s sound during her ill fated “Bionic.” era 2008 -2010 which was Aguilera’s worst performing studio album ever shipping 110,000 first week in the US.
