Aguilera Sings For Stuttgart
Hello.
By Gunnar Heinrich
DOING her best to channel Marlene Dietrich (not really), Christina Aguilera sang for a Mercedes TV spot in Benz’s home market this year.
And I missed it!
Ms. Aguilera lent her brassy voice and creative talent to a new song called “Hello.” We might suggest that it was a song engineered unlike any other because it was composed exclusively for Mercedes’ marketing campaign.
The lyrics:
Ah, yeah, oh yeah
They may have had their doubts
No matter what I’ve found
I have held my ground
Look at me, I’m still around
So dream on, dream on, yeah
Don’t ever let them steer you wrong
When life comes knocking
Gotta keep on rocking
Open that door and
Shout it to the world, singing
Hello, hello, ha
Here I am, here I go
Yeah, yeah
‘Cause I got love to give
And I got dreams to live
So hello, hello
Goodbye
See you later
Ciao
And where was I, might you ask, for this new wave of Aguilera promotions for Benz’s second gen. A-Class?
Good question.
In case you missed it (like I did) here’s the German press doing the full stop on Ms. Aguilera’s Tri-Star tryst.

My Christina has cleaned up her act, more a denizen of the upper east side than the demimonde.

Eh, more 90210 than 10012 IMHO.

I was originally thinking 06830, but changed my mind. As I reconsider, you’re on to something with the 90210. It is the perfect MB zip code.

That wasn’t this year, but in 2004. It was the campaign for the launch of the second generation A-Class.

She still seems like a bit of a tramp to me
