Aguilera Burst Through Great Wall of Chinese Censorship

Christina Aguilera is best known for her sultry, seductive act, and her general sexiness. Good news for her and a billion Chinese fans, because it looks like when she goes live in Shanghai on her tour, she’ll be able to do so uncensored, according to her promoter.

 

Jonathan Krane, president of Beijing-based EMMA Entertainment, who is promoting Aguilera’s upcoming show, said that, “There are no songs banned at all. In fact, it’s been a very smooth process in terms of getting approvals.” Many people don’t realize, but every single song performed must be approved by Chinese decency officers, better known as the “culture ministry”.

 

Last year the Rolling Stones were prohibited from playing “Brown Sugar” and “Honky Tonk Woman” when they performed in Shanghai. Aguilera tickets will cost around $26, or the 10-days pay at minimum wage.
