The way the media is acting about Christina Aguilera anyone would think she was a new act that has had no success or a decent record. We are forgetting that her last 3 albums (Stripped, Back To Basics & Bionic) hit number one. She has had some huge number ones including Beautiful, Dirrty, Lady Marmalade and of course Genie in a bottle. So people are now going on that because Bionic did not smash previous records that she has had it and GAGA is the way forward. Not at all, there is plenty of room for the Christina's, Beyonce' & Katy Perry's. It is just making sure they choose the right songs to release with the right videos. The Bionic campaign has not been the big comeback special you would expect from someone who last released an album 4 years previous. I think that this album has some stand out tracks but the release format has been out of whack, and as for the promotion, it was not done quite right was it?!
On the Bionic album I would of released WooHoo feat Nicki Minaj first! With an awesome video and the cameo from up and coming young rapper Minaj, this would of been a great club banger like her hay day of Dirrty featuring Redman. I would of followed it up with either Not Myself Tonight or Lift Me Up. Other greats are Desnudate, Vanity, I am and You Lost Me. There is still great stuff with X-Tina. I am one of her biggest fans and follow everything she does. She has one of the biggest voices out there and should not feel the need rival GAGA, they are two completely different acts that I am a huge fan of. In theory Bionic should have been much much bigger, I just think the timing, promo and lack of videos for the right songs are the reason it fell from grace so quickly. One of my all time favourite albums is 2002' Stripped, which is a classic example of how great Christina is.
I urge Christina to re-think, take a few months and get something else out there to remind her old fans as well as potential new ones just why Christina still has it.
Or a classic like:
