Christina Aguilera Back On Vibe

This petition is not out of anger but for those at Vibe magazine including Danyel Smith to realize what time it is. Reading the Daily News article about Mimi Valdes being replaced and a new takeover wiping out all that was in the past let us the undersigned know that Christina Aguilera was set to be on the October 'Vibe' cover. I for one have been waiting for a 'Vibe' cover with Christina because I feel she has been over looked so many times in the past and was finally due one.

Christina Aguilera is idolized by many. Her music and image crosses every single racial boundary. Her music including her new release "Back To Basics" due August 15th has critics raving and the industry buzzing. Since her entrance into the industry seven years ago her voice has set the bar for what real singers now a days should aspire to. So many r&b legends have come out and favored her why not Vibe?

Why scrap a photoshoot and interveiw because of disliking of a former co-worker. That couldnt scream more that this was a personal attack on Christina. But for once can we stop the catty enviroment and get back to the music? Back to what Vibe used to be about. Back to possibly the basics. Why flood your magazine cover with a one-hit wonder or two-hit stepper. Christina has a real sound. A sound that has, can and will be adored by many. She is what the music industry needs. Shes not going for a hooky song that will make you just shake your butt in the club. Quincy Jones should understand that.

We the fans of Christina ask that she be placed back on the cover of your October issue. Shes a big seller 30 million albums,3 Grammy Awards,MTV Awards,Billboard Awards and countless other awards and nominations should already prove that her story is one to read and would be even better with Vibe.
