oh my...
are those recent??

It was a iconic live.

It will be marked forever in her history, not for good reasons, but, oh well... xD

And no, it's not that recent. It's from this year for sure but in the first quarter I suppose.

NEWS: she performed "Make The World Move" in The Voice recently. Probably we have our new single now.

I doubt she weighs 175. She'd be way fatter for her height if she was.

I watched that last night, and they referred to the song as her new single, if I recall correctly. I'm thinking its pretty much confirmed right now.

I wonder if they think that featuring Cee-Lo will help boost the popularity of the song? But if they wanted to do that, they should have released the song when '**** You' was released. I doubt that many people remember what the other singles from his latest album have been released, besides that one.

^ he has more then one song? (point proven right there, lol)

She needs to do this huge song with both of them and perform it on the final show.

Poor Xtina
She's gonna debut with less than 80K sales.

Ugh, let's just pretend Bobblehead doesn't exist. Otherwise, I loved Bionic, and am quite saddened by the poor reviews. :(

I'm really excited to buy this album (once I get my paycheck)! I've heard samples of the different songs, and they all sound good. The duet with Blake sounds amazing!

Christina's short, isn't she? so, any weight gain would easily show on her body. (i suffer the same fate, lol)

I really think Christina's talented, but man, i cannot get through Lotus...

hdu talk bad about this amazing song.

wtf is with that disgusting hair? she looks like a clown

It's a funny song, but it sounds like something a teenybopper would sing rather than Christina. It just doesn't fit in with the album.

I just don't like Little Dreamer from Bionic. The rest I can take it easily. Even Bobblehead, it has its moments when I just figure out someone extra beautiful that have none in the head. xD

MV please Christina.

ewww... we are talking about Bionic...
She has a new album... XD

To be honest, I still haven't listened to it wholeheartedly...
I don't know why I don't care...

because there is no hype and its not THAT good...
I like it... but compared to some of her other albums... its on level with Bionic (for hype).

I kinda see what you mean

The album is gonna debut at no5 in the USA (behind Lana del Rey *rip*)
It's gonna debut at no28 in the UK, and your body slid from no16 to no31 in the uk after just two weeks


Poor xtina

That happens when you try hard to be generic as **** and then realize to sell dancey, generic pop tracks you need to be slim and promote the hell out of it. Hopefully this will teach her to never pull another "Lotus". It's below her.

She did no promotion for Bionic either, but at least with Lotus, she has The Voice to do a little promo. Also, if she actually tours with this album, it'll be a step up.

she's like 5'1 and inch taller than me so >.< gotta take care of myself.

I think that she's like 170lbs but it shows more because she's short like you said

IF she comes to Toronto, I will go.

I might go if she came to Toronto, too. I have some gay friends I can drag along :P

Pitbull and Christina has a song called Feel The Moment. That song is a gold. It is like J.Lo On the Floor sample some old song in a good way.

^ is it pitbulls or Xtina?

and where can I hear it!! :yes

It is in Pitbull new album Global Warming. The album leaked few days ago. This album rocks because of Xtina track.

This opening performance of "Lotus Intro" is the first time I've ever been a fan of Christina Aguilera. Also first time hearing the son- I mean Intro that should have been a song. Everything else of hers is meh to me, but I love this. Just the opening though. Everything else after is why I've never been a fan of hers before.

I felt like I was watching a Japanese Idol Performance. The good kind.

It's official: Xtina is gonna debut at no28 in the UK with less than 10k sales.
In the USA, she has sold over 20k, with about 60% of sales figures in


.... Listens to your body.
At least Canada liked the song.

the sales are horrible...
i dont get why she didnt promo more... she cant sell this just off her name... her last album was horrible... her name was thrown into the mud.

I finally got the album! It's great, except for the song Shut Up- the bleeping really annoys me.

What is Christina doing wrong? She was the queen back when Back to Basics came out. Then Bionic came out and the throne fell over (even though she keeps proclaiming she owns the throne lmao)

Bionic -> looking and sounding too much like Gaga when Gaga was the big, new thing.
They both followed the same trends, but Gaga did it just a bit earlier. Xtina did it far better of course. The Fame was such a generic crap album.

^Yup, I remember people saying that when Not Myself Tonight came out. I think B2B was so popular because of its throwback sound. It could appeal to more people. And not everyone in music was doing that. Bionic and Lotus just sound like stuff that's already out, even if she did do it better. Lotus and Circle are the most standout tracks because they are the only non-club anthem songs.

The USA sales, according to ATRL, may/will rise.
How much? The projection is 75-80k
We'll find out very soon.

Bionic was an amazing album

Final USA numbers:
73k and a debut at number 7

^ too bad... it deserved better.

I feel like she doesn't promote because she expects her name alone to sell it.

She was never the queen...

I remember her highest point in popularity...
I was like 5.
My mom bought both Britney's AND Xtina's debuts.
Tbh we made a bigger deal about Britney's debut.
But I'll still love genie in a bottle most. It's nostalgic.

she said that?
oi O.o

^ I wouldnt be surprised if she did... just look at her actions!

I think at first I liked Xtinas debut more too... but Brit-brit just started doing it better.

I thought she was a slu* when I knew her because of the music video dirrty. And I like her more..

Honestly, I think that Christina has two hundred times the talent that Britney has. And more personality. But, I've always considered myself a bigger Briney fan, and I guess many do since Brit has sold way more the Christina. I guess Brit had "x-factor" and a great team behind her. I also wonder if that frustrates Christina? I wonder if that's why she's so *****y?

Her personality isn't exactly a winner, and between the two of them, I feel Britney to be the nicer of the two. That being said, they both have talent, but I feel that Britney appeals more to people.

"she said that? "

Haha, no she didn't! I feel that maybe she does feel that way since she hardly promotes.
She's been in the industry for so long, her name carries weight behind it, so maybe she was hoping that would pay off.

I love Britney, and she is sweet. But, these days its like she's... not all there. There are the off times you see her goof off, but most of the time I feel like she doesn't want to sing anymore.

I also often wonder if Brit and X-Tina get along?

One thing is for sure, her booklets are hella nice. Bionic and Lotus have REALLY nice booklets full of cute pictures and stuff.

No, I agree. I mean, she probably doesn't know anything else. X-Tina, on the other hand, probably loves it.

I agree. But she's slowly getting back there. I feel like X-Factor is really helping her.

And they used to be best friends but they had a fight in like... 2003? Back when Xtina was a shady hoe. But I think they do get along now.

:cool

overall I feel that Britney has a better overall image then Xtina.. and is more down to earth.

I dont think Brintey ever considered herself a diva, but more of a superstar...
unlike Xtina who felt like she had become a diva after stripped... (case in point Back to basics)

I'm not into her like that so I don't know what goes on with her.
I like her music though.

After a lot of controversial, "Just a Fool" was announced by RCA to be the 2nd single of Lotus.

Hm. I don't really know what to say.

I guess she just doesnt care about her career anymore??
this has got to be the worst song to single...

Oh god she didn't
they were talking on ATRL about that song being the second single
now it's actually gonna happen.
Red hot kinda love should have been the single!

Well, it kinda did surprisingly well in digital charts with no promo at all. I think they choosed it based upon this fact..

As long as it helps Xtina
At this point, that's all that matters.

^ I dont think this song will do it...
Did she even perform this song at the AMA's?

^
Only on The Voice.
AMA perfomance was a Medley of Lotus Intro+Army of Me+Let There Be Love

I like Just a Fool. It's not so surprising, because 1. she usually comes out with an upbeat song followed by a ballad and 2. this will get some Blake fans to buy the single and increase her sales.

I don't like the song, but I can see why they went with it. But, I thought they already said that Make the World Move would be the second single? They used those words when talking about it on The Voice.

Let There Be Love would have been a great 2nd single...
but oh well.

They really said that Make The World Move would be the 2nd single in The Voice, but, oh well... decisions of her label.

I LOVE this new album. I'm upset it didn't sell better.

I wasn't expecting to love like any of the songs but I ended up loving like 9 of them haha. Especially 'Cease Fire' that is my jam.

this album is so much better then her last... she needed to do more for it and not rely on her name alone.... or just one stupid show.

^Agreed. She really doesn't promote enough. I didn't even know Lotus was coming out until I saw a random tweet from her.

this thread hasnt seen anything for a bit so i thought I post this...

I love Lotus, but found this FUNNY

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...uoquo1_500.gif

ewww demi looks weird in that gif

^ some of those are scary, and AH! its already discounted to 5.00?
It never had a chance...

LOL, just in that gif??

the britney spears lotus cover KILLS me every time i see it :P

The restaurant menu killed me omg

I don't search her like that so yes

This is ****ing hilarious, lol!

:laugh Oh geez... couldn't stop laughing for a bit there.

This reminds me of a blog post I was reading where the writer said that something "died faster than hype for a new Christina Aguilera album".

Poor X-Tina, she actually has talent, but she always seems one step behind. She even contributes more to her albums than Britney, but always comes up short.

I work at Wal*Mart it was only $5 during the Black Friday event. So wre Kelly Clarkson's Greatest Hits amongst several others

Glad to hear that this was the reason.

Back in 2003 X-Tina was my all-time fav singer (before I got to know Kuu and Ayu) and I still like her a lot; so I hope her music will become more popular in the future again^^

you guys are so mean but so funny

I moved some of those pics around on my photobucket...
Ugh too lazy to reupload

I kinda like You Lost Me

I never got into Christina because her personality sucks. She's a diva and not in an endearing way like Mariah.

I do love Back to Basic. Ain't No Other Man!

I find Mariah to be the most annoying, useless, talentless and *****y Diva, but I guess Christina could be seen as similar, especially since Christina doesn't know how to use it for her image.

Does not compute.

Songwriting skills. Stage presence. Emotion.
Three things she doesn't possess but thinks she has.
She's the epitome of a singer with OK vocals but nothing else to go for her. :innocent

^ your saying Mariah only has OKAY vocals? Man, whats wrong with you? lol

I only like some of her stuff, but the girl as an amazing voice. You can not like it of course, but to say they are okay, its just... shock...

But, I always hate it when people show up and think they are divas.
I want to slap some of them and be like: ***** step back. You are not a diva. A diva takes time. Respect, because they are KILLER... you cant just ACT like a diva, you must BE a diva.
lol.

Mariah's technique is weak, her range is only impressive because she uses her whistle register, there is no variety in her vocal styles. The only thing she has going for her is what used to be a strong belting register(nowadays an embarrassing belting register)
That an OK vocalist to me. She used to be good, nowadays she's average.

Her voice quality is nice, but she's so boring
Makes namie seem exciting.
Same with Xtina

Mariah has or had a great voice depending on how you see it.

I usually like divas but personally I don't think it works for Christina because she comes off as a ***** instead. You need a good or at least passable personality to pull it off.

I listened to Lotus and I feel like she tried so hard to fit in (either in her outfits or the current trend) but it still fell short. I bet she'd sell more if she lessen the act, stop pretending she's hip and all that, and just sing songs that actually suits her voice.

A diva to me is Celine Dion, aretha franklin, Mariah because of who she is (not whats she is now)...
experience makes you a diva along with the image and quality of you work, your voice.

It kills me to no end that people like Xtina and beyonce act like they are divas when they are no where near close. Beyonce has a chance a little down the road, but the way she is acting now makes me hate her so much.

she IS boring now... back in the day, she was freakin everywhere and I loved her...
Mimi was okay, but I miss her 90's music

^ I think Beyonce is very down to earth. When does she act like a diva?

Xtina on The Voice is super obnoxious. Very diva. Still her music is great.

^ As a person maybe... its when she performs. She acts like a diva and it just annoys me to no end, lol.

As for other things... like day to day and stuff, I dont follow her enough to know...

On better news, I listene to half of lotus in depth. So far, it's okay:)

^ Now you're just gettin off topic, lol.

I haven't listen to this album since it came out... not that its bad, there is just better stuff, lol...

I heard your Body yesterday at target and completely forgot who sang it till i saw her on the TV screen and felt stupid... lol...

^ I just got warned for that
A post that has been in the trash can for weeks, I got warned for
I'm gonna cry while listening to Hurt/Beautiful/You Lost Me, etc...

Happens to me regularly. I got warned for insulting saigodansu when that was almost 2 months in the trash can once. :innocent

Its good to know its not just me anymore... =.=

^We can be bester buddies while listening to Lotus.
I need to finish lotus. I always say I will, but I never do. Oh well. I wonder how the latest single is faring.

^ lol..

Does she have a new single? lol, thats bad if I didn't hear about it... I love radio stuff and check billboards once a week... I didnt see it.

I think it was the song with Blake from the voice
I forgot his last name AND the song.
Not a good thing :p
