The Christina Aguilera Mega-thread

[Huntneo(PT)]

Won't spoil anything for myself yet, but I'm glad to see some of you guys are liking what you're hearing.

[BreakTheIce]

I have a feeling Lotus is going to be something like Stripped even though I haven't heard any of the track samples. I just find "Your Body" a bit like "Dirrty" in the sense that it isn't doing that well on the charts but the people who love absolutely love it and others just don't care for it. It's basically a polarizing track and there's no meeting in the middle with it. You either like it or don't.

"Dirrty" didn't perform well on the US charts but I absolutely loved that track and to date it is still one of my favorite tracks by Christina and also my favorite off that album. I hope she follows up with a ballad that could be the Lotus version of "Beautiful" that ends up doing really well and helping the album sell consistently. Even if it isn't like "Beautiful" I hope it's a ballad. Christina is someone who has the pipes to do a ballad justice.

I am going to hold off buying this album though until I listen to a second single. Because based on "Your Body" alone I can't bring myself to buy the entire album.

She posted a few songs to her official Vevo account: Youtube.com/CaguileraVevo

I'm in looooooooooooooove with Just A Fool, the song she made with Blake Shelton. That should be the second single.

Xtina made him hit that high note
Just A Foolis a masterpiece

[penayforay]

^ her Blake Shelton impression was SO cute



first Christina Aguilera's album leaks then Lori dies on The Walking Dead then Obama gets reelected. AM SO EMOTION.

btw does anyone else here watch the nekci menij show?

[DigitalFudge]

^^^ I've seen bits. Their in-character twitter accounts are hilarious though.

[ILLBFIRE]

I can't wait for her new album to drop!!!!

I need to see this bitch on tour

[BetinaNungging]

I can't wait for her new album to drop!!!!

I need to see this bitch on tour

her last tour was 2007
5 years ago!!!
geezzz 6 years ago if 2013 comes....

I miss her performance, hype, stage-act etc etc

[innocentbychoice]

At this point I don't even know if we're get anything at all besides the AMA performance. They haven't announced anything else, no performances no nothing...She was supposed to perform on The Voice but not even that. To be honest I don't know what's going on but I get the feeling this album is gonna get zero promotion and will be completely forgotten by Christina and everybody in a few months. I hope I'm wrong though.

[BetinaNungging]

^paparazzi were there only for Xtina
they stopped flashing the camera as she walking lol

[penayforay]

^ omg i didnt even notice. thats actually hilarious lol
but really ceelo has like two hit songs and blake has only charted in the US. and like once in Canada.

[ILLBFIRE]

^paparazzi were there only for Xtina
they stopped flashing the camera as she walking lol

Thats why she is getting more money per season than the other three

[penayforay]

[penayforay]

Not gonna lie I actually like Give Your Heart A Break. It's the only Demi song that I find enjoyable.

[Huntneo(PT)]

Okay--so I broke down and listened to the album. It's not my cup of tea at all. I also don't see any chance that it will grow on me.

That being said--the title track is hot! That will be on repeat for a while!

Also, the song with Blake Shelton is 'cute'. Even though I can't stand him, I have to admit...he sounds great singing alongside Aguilera here.

I bought the album yesterday and I have a few favorite tracks: Your Body, Just A fool (with Blake Shelton), the Lotus intro. I also like Red Hot Kinda Love...And Army Of Me has been stuck in my head. That being said, I do have to admit that this album isn't as impressive so far, maybe it's the type that you need to listen to a few times (I only played it once last night).

The song I completely hated: Let There Be Love. This song is as generic as possible, same techno crap that anybody can sing to. Made by Max Martin.

Can't stand Blake's music but I find him really funny on his red carpet interviews and stuff.

Also totally forgot the album was out but not going to bother buying it till I hear a good single released. Don't really care for "Your Body". That song is so generic. I could see basically anyone on radio singing it, there's nothing 'Christina' about it.

[Ekim23]

The record is not a masterpiece but it's entertaining.

The duet with blake is cute.
I like cease fire & circles as it's stronger than the others.
A lot of songs are VERY generic but it's ok

[innocentbychoice]

Christina confirmed live perfomances on The Voice:



So no performance of Your Body, which makes me think once again that she never liked the song in the first place and that she was pushed by the label to release it.

[innocentbychoice]

Ok I have to take back what I said before (I knew this was gonna happen lol). It is a really good album, besides the ones I already mentioned that I like, I also love: Around The World, Light Up The Sky and Make The World Move and Circles are really growing on me.

[innocentbychoice]

Oh and latest tweet:

RT @TheRealXtina: #LOTUS out tomorrow! I’m going to perform #MakeTheWorldMove w/ @CeeLoGreen on Tues night’s #TheVoice to celebrate. http://itunes.com/lotus

[penayforay]

i wish she would perform a single or something. but better than nothing.
so far we have AMA and The Voice. I wish she would do SNL

[CupidBoy]

[-Xibalba-]

The album IS OUT! Thank you Baby Jesus!

I haven't listened to any leaks and it feels like I've been waiting forever for this album. Especially with all of these leaks staring me in the face.

I bought the deluxe version on iTunes just now. It came with this beautiful digital booklet type file called Lotus - iTunes LP. When you double click on it you can play the album within it and see photos and credits. Pretty awesome.

I still plan on buying a physical copy, not the deluxe version, tomorrow.

[-Xibalba-]

Also totally forgot the album was out but not going to bother buying it till I hear a good single released. Don't really care for "Your Body". That song is so generic. I could see basically anyone on radio singing it, there's nothing 'Christina' about it.

This is so true. I still bought the album but I totally agree with you about YB. And I believe this is why it tanked on radio. It did horribly and there's no chance of reviving it. It's done and buried.

I feel the complete opposite about Dirrty though. And about Not Myself Tonight. Those two lead singles also tanked on radio horribly but I feel they're so Christina and I can't see anyone else singing those songs.

[BreakTheIce]

^Dirrty is probably one of my favorite songs from her ever, and my favorite off Stripped. Europeans know how to get dirrty, the song went #1 there

[-Callum-]

Yowzer, I don't care for it either. Oh, and Blank Page is so obviously a Sia song. Sadly Diamonds (Rihanna) is much better written, though...

[penayforay]

shine bright like something that shines bright...
shine bright like a lite brite...

[penayforay]

I like that Alicia Keys shared a link to LOTUS on her Facebook page.
grrrrlll power. I hope they do a duet sometime in the future. I know Christina has Impossible from Stripped but I mean a duet duet.

[BreakTheIce]

So I was watching old seasons of X Factor (UK) today and this performance came on



I actually really liked Christina's look over here. I do think though that it's a bad idea to pair her (or any other amazing female vocalist) with the female contestants on the show because Christina literally sang her off the stage. I love Rebecca but I thought this was her weakest performance of the season. She was too awestruck by Christina

And she (Christina) walks down the steps like a total queen

[penayforay]

Just A Fool charting higher on US Itunes than Your Body

I cant

[Huntneo(PT)]

Just A Fool charting higher on US Itunes than Your Body

I cant

hahahaha makes sense, imo.

Poor thing was so scared to sing with Xtina.

PS: I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO LOTUS!! Get it now boys, it's awesome .

@NBCThevoice 's latest tweet:

Guess whose chair! (Hint: She's performing tonight!) #TheVoice http://instagr.am/p/R_EOBznpgd/

[penayforay]

that an awfully tiny looking chair...at first I thought it was for Max or something.

Just a Fool at #41 on US Itunes with zero promo

[penayforay]

JAF at 23
LTBL at 98

If Make the World Move is anything other than a promotional single I will be soooooo fucking pissed.

c'mon Christina!!! girl needs to play her cards right.

[O kron O]

Just purchased Lotus, it has some good tracks,
'Lotus Intro' is my favorite so far.
'Sing For Me' is maybe my second favorite.
'Circles' is interesting because I thought of Nicki Minaj
and as part of the Deluxe Edition, the Your Body remix is pretty cool.
