It's not that it's okay for one to be provacative/sexual and not the other, it's just that Christina never pretended to be a goody-goody. Britney came out talking about how she was this sweet/innocent virgin girl-next-door and how she wanted to be a role model. Now she sees she can get more attention acting like a hoe...and that's how it comes off: as an act, as if she's forcing this sexy image. Yes, Britney is a good performer, but she is no where near the same league as Christina in talent. Putting them together on stage made it blaringly obvious.
Not to be obnoxious, but Christina was working the girl-next-door image back in her "Genie in a Bottle" days, and Britney has stated in many, many interviews that she does not want to be a role model. Plus I am so annoyed with everyone getting on Brit's back about the virginity thing. She said at one point that she wanted to remain a virgin until marriage, but later she changed her mind. Plenty of us have changed our minds at some points too, right? But the press kept harping on it. She never pretended to be a virgin after she had changed her mind -- she told the press that she didn't think her "sex life" or possible lackthereof was any of their business, which is true. I think Britney made a smarter decision than, say, Jessica Simpson -- when she decided she wanted to have sex, she went ahead and did it and kept her mouth shut about it, rather than rushing to get married and so that she could do it with her parents' and the church's blessing and then acting like trash on national television.

That said, I thought the kiss was pretty gross. I mean, come on -- Madonna's old enough to be her mom. That's not hot!
