January 31, 2003 - Pier Dominguez has responded to the comments made by Christina Aguilera's mother Shelly Kearns about his new book. He tells us, "My book, "Christina Aguilera: A Star is Made", is the ONLY serious, well-researched look at Christina Aguilera's career. I find it very offensive that Shelly Kearns would choose to speak out against my book, which took two years to research and write, before she has even read it, when there is so much CRAP out there about Christina that is all about making money. I am a serious journalist, this is my second book after a highly praised debut, and I think the only reason Shelly is picking on me is because I'm 20 years old. I trust that other Americans who believe in the first Ammendment, and who will actually read my book before judging it, will find it a balanced and exciting view of Christina's life and career. Shelly was extremely unfair in critiquing my book without having read it. She is doing to me exactly what she accuses "the media" of doing to Christina."

And I don't think she's trying to be trash because, I mean homegirl can sing. She's bad. And that's going to translate in 5 years just like how it translates right now when you listen to 'Beautiful'. The fact that she can release a song like 'Dirrty' and get everyone talking and then release a song like 'Beautiful' and say, 'Look, this is why I am standing here.'

I think that's what bugs her and other people so much, because it is the truth, saying that she has a very beautiful voice but she ruins herself by dressing like a tramp and she has a really bad attitude."
