Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera is returning to our shores this month.

And she seems to be right excited.

But how does she think she'll compare against her old rival Britney Spears?

Xtina is working herself back into the limelight since becoming a mummy to her little lad, Max.

She's going to be back doing her thing in Blighty at the Africa Rising Festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London...

Meanwhile, Brit has been scaling a rather high comeback wall too - and will be performing her new single, Womanizer, on The X Factor before the year is out.

So has Xtina been keeping her eye on Brit's progress?Britney SpearsBritney Spears

She told the Metro: "Honestly, I haven't. I've been so sort of in my own creative cave.

"But no, it's a great feeling to still be in the game with somebody that you have known for so many years, even going back to the Mickey Mouse Club. We had so much fun together."

She added: "At this stage in our lives, we are so different I don't think you can put us in the same ball park."

Really, Chris? We're going to reserve judgement on that one for a wee while longer.
