And it's not relevant. Yngwie is a one trick pony who's written the same song and played the same solo for decades. Christina can do pretty much all of the same stuff that Brittany can do.
It's totally relevant, cause Christina is also technically proficient with her instrument (her voice) but does nothing with it. She also hasn't sold nearly as many albums, and doesn't have nearly as many hit singles, which, let's face it, is pretty much the yardstick for an artist in their profession's worth.

Christina's singing abilities aren't even used in an artistic manner. It's just her gimmick that she's a better singer than her contemporaries. In the end, it's completely irrelevant.
