Target Helps Christina Aguilera Hype ‘Greatest Hits’

Probably because the bulls-eye has more brand cachet than she does, Christina Aguilera’s paired up with Target to promote Keeps Gettin’ Better, a premature greatest-hits album buttressed by a handful of mediocre new tracks.

The ad features Aguilera in superhero Target garb, breaking through comic book frames like a cross between Frank Miller’s Sin City and a less saucy version of Britney Spears’ Toxic. It’s infectious, mostly because Target knows how to play with the colour red. But it took a coupla watches to positively ID the once-ultra-visible pop diva.

Keeps Gettin’ Better is available exclusively at the big-box. Possessed of timeless classics like Genie in a Bottle, Dirrty and something called Genie 2.0, we (don’t) highly recommend it.
