Apparent Christina demo instrumentals (http://www.youtube.com/user/Christinathereturn)

probably fake but thought i'd post them anyway.

[MrGaryy]

I'm pretty sure they're fake, I'll have a listen anyway tho.

Also according to someone who works at Song BMG, teh radio show is to air in 2 days time!!

[xDramatick]

just got home from xtina's and holy **** her new album is gonna be soooooooo goooood!!
hi,i'm not allowed to say anything more about xtina's record. i'm not trying to be disrespectful.sorry to the 412 people i couldn't reply to
off to christina's for coraline in 3D. but first some reflexology. amanda is kicking my arse up and down those stairs.ouch.(but no kicking)

from Sia's twitter.

[MrGaryy]

i read those earlier, Sia is a vague bitch.

[MrGaryy]

Also, MTV Italy have reported a September 25 release for the album.

[Princess]

OMFG yay that's soon!

[xDramatick]

YAY for release date.

Garyy, what site can we tune in to the show + what time?
I know it's launched tomorrow but idk anything else.
I hope she gives us details.

[MrGaryy]

I really dont know, no one seems to but I would assume on the Clear Channel Radio site altho there has been zero promotion for it on the site. I imagine her official site might post it as a downloadable podcast afterwards too and someone on the forums is sure to rip it.

I also assume that it will air in US time, so the middle of the night for us.

[xDramatick]

Ah yeah, I suppose so :|
I was watching her MTV Diary 2002 earlier, I love the footage of her recording 'I'm OK'. So emotional. She's never sung it live either has she?

[MrGaryy]

i LOVE that show. i have it recorded on a tape :P yeah i rememeber that bit, she's like lying down on the floor.

no I don't think so, she's never done it on tour.

[Lewis.]

Cannot wait for the album. September/October is going to a a big months for albums

Pixie
Christina
Leona

Loads more. I better get saving ;) :P :blush2:

[MrGaryy]

tbh, I reckon a November release is probably a bit more likely, but thats a big month for albums too, Avril Lavigne and Paramore are set to release their records then too.

[Hugo]

Who's Sia?

I don't really see Paramore as competition because they'll sell well but they're rather indie aren't they? Not exactly chart-friendly.
Avril maybe, depending whether it's back to the dark stuff or more poppy.

She should have a halloween release then come sing me happy birthday.

[MrGaryy]

As far as I know, Avril is going for a more Under My Skin sounding album, so it all depends on if the public welcome her back to this sound and she'll be a huge hit or if they want the cheerleading Avril back and she flops.

[MrGaryy]

well she's quite famous.

By Night will be released in September but only in Europe. It will be sexier and more sophisticated than 'Christina Aguilera' and 'Inspire'. and will have similar packaging to CA.

[Zac]

I've been listening to Dirrty a lot more recently.
So exciting!

[MrGaryy]

aah my first love dirrty. such good memories are attached to that song.

NEW YORK – By MESFIN FEKADU, Associated Press Writer

"It stands across so many different feels and genres from A Tribe Called Quest to the Beatles to Billie Holiday to Bjork to Black Sabbath, Jay-Z," she said in a phone interview from Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The new radio venture, A.P.E. Radio (Artist Personal Experience), will also launch The Eagles' own channel Friday, to be hosted by guitarist Joe Walsh. Weezer's station is set to launch next month.

The radio station is not the only project she's working on. Aguilera, a 28-year-old mother to a 1-year-old son, is also working on a new CD and has signed on to do a movie with Cher; both are due to be released next year.

[MrGaryy]

OH I didnt know we were still in may.

[Hugo]

**** Gary, your such a wannabe, a wannabe ****** mess. much like christina except she can pull off having a penis.

[MarkWaldorf]

Oh I'm sorry Gary. Forgive me for not trailing through 22 pages of you and Daren debating when this electro-mess and dragtastic film are being inflicted upon us.

http://i27.tinypic.com/i1bgcg.gif

[MrGaryy]

and you guys call callum bipolar.

Callum is an irrelevant mess. He needn't be mentioned.

Brave New Girl<3

[xDramatick]

"We moved into our new house about a year ago but since I started working on the record, I have a studio in the backyard … and it just has been so perfect for me to just wake up in the morning, put on my flip flops and sweat pants, and just go back in the studio and pretty much get into my creative cave and zone out that way, so it's been really convenient. So the paparazzi have probably been upset with me. I know they told my husband, they're like, 'Is she every going to leave the house?'"

from Perez Hilton.

[xDramatick]

Read a post on DS, that pretty much said according to twitter, Christina's had a listening party, and there was a choreographer there, which means she could be doing the VMAs!

[MrGaryy]

ooooooh, I would be SO happy if she did, it would just be epic. The perfect way to let everyone know she's back.

[Hugo]

This is some mayjah shiz talking!!

Celeb photographer Rankin has worked with some supreme divas including the likes of Kate Moss, La Loca and Madonna, but the only person he's gotta beef with is Christina Aguilera.

In the new issue of Closer magazine, Rankin had some choice words for the singer.

He dished:

"Christina was a diva from hell and pure torture to be around. She's so self-obsessed. She insisted her chauffeur drive her indoors into the studio so she wasn't papped - even though there was nobody outside. Then she crashed my after-party and her bodyguard stood outside the bathroom shouting: 'Nobody but Christina uses this toilet" She's a joke!"

We hope Rankin isn't found with a pitchfork through his heart!




SOURCE (http://perezhilton.com/page/2/)

so pathetic.

[MrGaryy]

haha, she's so fierce. <33

[xDramatick]

LMAO I doubt that's true, she's ALWAYS come across grounded in interviews.
It wouldn't surprise me if she was self-obsessed though, she knows what she wants, she knows the direction to take her music in and she's extremely talented and clever with that.

Christina really helped me out yesterday <3
'twas upset and I have this playlist that always makes me cry when I'm upset, then makes me feel better:
Hurt > Walk Away > I'm OK > Fighter.
<3 always does the trick.

[xDramatick]

oh, and amazing shirt:

http://i29.tinypic.com/5cc87l.jpg

[MrGaryy]

oh now that really is what I call fierce.

I like to listen to Save Me From Myself when I have that happy sad feeling. Actually the whole second disk of B2B is pretty goof for that.

[MrGaryy]

a 3 minute long message to her fans where she talks in depth about the new album working with Sia and writing with M.I.A and Santigold!!!!

[xDramatick]

FSAFASFDFHSHGISEOMG
Thank you so much Garyy!
-puts on iPod- LOL

oh, and Christina's my first artist to get over 1000 plays on last.fm.
finally.
haha.

[MrGaryy]

haha no problem, i was pretty psyched when I heard it too!

pfft. took you long enough.:tongue:

[MrGaryy]

http://cocoperez.com/category/christina-aguilera/

<33

[xDramatick]

LOL I know, there'd be times I'd listen to music for AGES, then days without any haha.

oooh lovee the Perez thing <3

[MrGaryy]

.....okay, so I strut in like OHAY CHECK OUT MY NEW HOT SET, only to find Darenn has a near identical one and it totally looks like I ripped him off. it was so hilar....

D: FML

[Hugo]

Woah thats weird that you both had kinda the same one. I lovee them.

[MrGaryy]

ikr soooooo creepy. and thanks btw.

[MrGaryy]

omg I just read some rumours from a source that is claiming the album will be called Pop Art [lame] andddddddd will have a pop-up booklet! That would be SO awesome, she always produces such awesome inlays, this would be so cool!

oh and he said 18 tracks too.

[Princess]

18???? Oooh that would be amazing!

[Hugo]

No, I hate the name!

[MrGaryy]

yeah it sounds pretty crap, but I doubt its real, it sounds as if someone just read all the info we have so far and made it up to make sense.

[MrGaryy]

http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/3465/chrisina.jpg

I AM GETTING THIS. It's on ebay with 2 days left for like 20 dollars, I am doing everything in my power to get it.

[Princess]

Good luck! :thumbs:

[MrGaryy]

JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE NO MONEY.
this could be harder than I thought....

[xDramatick]

What's on it? the Ebay thingy.

The name is kinda lame but I MUCH prefer it to Light & Darkness.
The only issue I have is it's the same as MPHO's 2009 album >.>
YAY for popup booklet :D

[xDramatick]

RUMOR: TITULO POP ART? SALIDA: 23 NOVIEMBRE? INDIE POP?

Voy a recopilar todos los rumores acerca de estas dos incognitas...

Cita:
UKMIXFORUMS
Hadn't posted in a while so thought I'd update you. As I revealed a few weeks ago November 23rd is the release date in the UK. But more interesting is that the album title may be 'Pop Art' rather than 'Light & Darkness'.


Cita:
http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1890457

Expect the single to hit radio about end of September ish because the November 23rd date should be confimed in the next 14 days officially.

Its really happening this year!


Cita:

This appears to be true as I heard about it yesterday too. Sony BMG have it listed for 23 November. This is no lie, and Pop Art looks like it is indeed the title unless its just a working title.. if it changes then we will know in about 5 weeks anyway.

Its not a double disk but there is 18 songs on it as that is given as the running time and it will have a pop up booklet which is completed.

And from what I hear the album is more indie pop than pop pop.

Christina unleashes her Pop Art

The long awaited fourth full length studio album from Christina Aguilera hits stores this November. With a new futuristic sound and look this will be the must have album of the fall.

Producers range from Sia Furler, Claude Kelly, Ladytron and long time collaborator Linda Perry.

Under embargo until September 13 2009.

there is more but i would get the site into trouble if i posted it as its not allowed to be in print until the 13 of next month and that date is the vmas icon_eek.gif

also whether pop art is the title is up to you lot but you can see why people jumped to that conclusion

copy + pasted from SIN.

AHHHH SO ****ING EXCITED.

[MrGaryy]

^yeah thats just what I read last night too. Looking forward to ittt

and its basically all of her best songs up to B2B incl. album tracks but all in a cool double disc set. its ****ing immense.

[xDramatick]

I don't understand the last bit?
Her best songs up to B2B in a double disc set? so like a GH?!

[MrGaryy]

yeah it is a GH but with her best album tracks from Stripped, My Kind Of Xmas, Mi Reflejo, B2B and CA plus a couple of b-sides and collabs.

doesn't matter anyway LOL I didn't get it. D:

I'm soooo excited for her Project Runway episode now!

[xDramatick]

SO FRICKEN CONFUSED.
Disc 1 - album #4
Disc 2 - best of album tracks?!
yeah?

ehh.
strange.

[MrGaryy]

LOL no. both discs are a mix of album tracks and singles.

[KKBL]

She seems to be pulling out all the stops with this album.With the late November date and 18 tracks aswell as the pop-up booklet it should sell loads.With the recession 'n all people will want their money's worth.
I was so pissed off when i spent 15 euro on The Script's album and Duffy's when there was only 10 songs on it! & im glad its not a double disk either, like IASF.Its soo awkward switching the CD's all the time.
"Light & Darkness" is much better than "Pop Art",but "Pop Art" makes me think that the album will be amazing...

Could the fact that they're releasing the album details on the same day as the VMA's mean that she'll perform the new single at the event?

[MrGaryy]

well obviously there have been strong rumours about that, I hope so but I;m not so sure. One thing I'm quite confident about though is that she will perform on X Factor which should be great publicity.

I think she's really focusing on coming back with a bam after she was forced into KGB by her label. This is her time to prove herself [well ever more than she already has] when she decides the time is right.

[Princess]

Oooh I hope she does do X Factor,it would make up for when Robbie will be on there.

[MrGaryy]

well according to some people who went to one of the live audition shows Simon told the crowd of a few of the names they were either hoping to get or had booked and she was one of them plus it would be perfect timing for the album release. So its looking good.

[xDramatick]

The sixth season of Project Runway – finally out of the courts and moving to Los Angeles when it premieres on Lifetime August 20 – will lose no time amping up the Hollywood glam factor. For one of the show’s biggest challenges, the designers will have to work their magic on powerhouse pop diva Christina Aguilera and designer Bob Mackie, the so-called Sultan of Sequins, and make a costume for Aguilera to wear in concert.

“The contestants were beside themselves when they heard who they were designing for,” Runway executive producer Jane Cha tells TVGuideMagazine.com. "They couldn’t believe it was Christina. And they really had to think about it, because costuming is not their forte."

But it is the forte of the legendary Mackie, who is best known for outfitting Cher and Tina Turner. "We tap into his archives, so it was very interesting," says Cha. "For the designers, it will be lots of glitz and glam for the stage, and that’s very different from American sportswear."

Was Aguilera pleased with her new garments? "She was really happy with the results," says Cha.

[MrGaryy]

oh wow sounds awesome really looking forward to it. Project Runway <33

[SASSY20]

I LOVE CHRISTINA AGUILERA SHE'S BEEN MY FAVORITE FEMALE SINGER SINCE 1999 AIN'T NONE OF THESE FEMALES MESSING WITH HER ESPECIALLY VOCALLY SHE'S AMAZING!:cheer2:::thumbs2:

she needs to hurry with that album i can already tell it's gonna be a hott album. i love all her music so she can never go wrong with me i just miss her and her voice and music so much can't wait till her new era starts and i have to go to her tour she is amazing live!:thumbs2:

[MrGaryy]

yay a new fan! :P

Christina has designed a pair of kids shoes for the charity Shoes That Fit that aims to help children in need by buying them a pair of decent shoes [LOL sounds ridiculous but its cute actually]. Demi Lovato and Denise Richards among others have also designed a pair.

here's Christina's design:

[Princess]

Awww I love those shoes!

[MrGaryy]

In this week's edition of People magazine's music section, they have 5 Albums That Changed my life with Jordin Sparks. The third in the list is: Christina Aguilera, Christina Aguilera.

It says, "I wanted to be her. I was so mad I wasn't blonde! She has a big voice and she influenced me in the way I use my voice now."


Mike: When you look at other artists that have been in a similar position that you are now, whose career would you like to emulate? Who do you look at in their late 20s and think, "If I have their career when I'm in my late 20s, I'm doing pretty good."

Demi Lovato: I would say Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera. Christina was in "The Mickey Mouse Club" and she learned the lessons of growing up too fast for her fans and learning how to do it perfectly. She made a name for herself after it. You don't really associate her with that, with where she started. You think, "Wow, what an icon," now. And I think Kelly Clarkson has done the same.

Mike: And you don't read something bad about [them] all the time...

Demi Lovato: Right. Kelly Clarkson and Christina stay out of the tabloids and I very much admire that and I'd like to be the same.

aww thats very nice of them.

[Zac]

So this album is due on the 23rd, yeah?
I'm so excited already, it sounds like a smasher! I'm sure it'll do well. Oooh and I really hope she does X Factor too. It'll be great promotion!

[MrGaryy]

well nothing is confirmed yet but its looking like it. :colour:
defo November tho!

[Princess]

That's nice of Demi and Jordin.

You think if she is on the X Factor,it'll be a Christina night? Because it'd be really difficult!

[Zac]

Aaah well I can't wait! I already love it! 'Pop Art' sounds like a good name too, sounds like it's gonna be a very creative album.

[MrGaryy]

She's worked with SO many different people its bound to be. Quite varied I reckon. I'm just SOOOOO excited. Yeah I'm not so sure about Pop Art tbh I like it but idk. nothings confirmed anyway.

[Zac]

I wonder if she's done any collaborations for the album? Looking forward to seeing what she's cooked up with Sia and M.I.A.

[MrGaryy]

I doubt it, B2B featured no collabs, she generally doesn't on albums.

[MarkWaldorf]

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/38651520.html

FROM HER UPCOMING E! THS

[MrGaryy]

ty for posting on my behalf during that awful banned period mark.
so anyway yeah its her new THS, coming out in Sept. looks awesome!

[xDramatick]

According to a thread I read over on DS, Amazon Germany have her album confirmed for the 27th November.
Christina confirmed on her Entertainment show thing that she's been working with the following producers:

Linda Perry
DJ Premier
Sia
Goldfrapp
Ladytron
Santigold
M.I.A.
Switch (Major Lazer)
Focus
Le Tigre
Tricky

[Sophii3x]

Ooh the 27th of November.. that seems so far away. But yay for a confirmed date!
Soo excited about this album. But I hope she performs on Strictly instead of XF :P

[xDramatick]

Nooo, X-Factor.
Christina week :love:

[MrGaryy]

Yeah but Amazon can be editted by anyone. All they have to do is say they have an item and they'll start shipping on whatever date they want. That isn't confirmation I'm afraid.

[xDramatick]

ooh, didn't know that :\

[xDramatick]

out of boredom, I've been reading various xtina/music forums and stuff, and it seems that a few uk radio stations have the first single, and apparently it's gonna get it's first play september 27th at 7am.
take it with a pinch of salt, most likely false but any news is needed right now. haha.
christina has said herself that the record "is close" and if she's working on Burlesque then she's clearly finished it.

[Princess]

Ooooh yay for 27th November! I'm selfishly glad it's not earlier as the boys have a lot coming out at the end of October so I'd have been broke! Can't fricking wait!

[xDramatick]

haha, I just reallyy hope it's true.
I keep seeing rumours that the single's gonna premier at the end of this month and I really want it to be true.
She has said herself that it's really close :\
&Sia's not giving much out over twitter.

on the positive side.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqZacWD6R58
i love this.
she's so cute, that scream <3

[MrGaryy]

I'm more excited about the Burlesque soundtrack at this stage tbh, she's writing with Sia again for it, seems she has another long time collaborator. I think she'll do a couple of songs for it, which is exciting.

[MrGaryy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR8-4OxIfFI

looking very, very nice!

[MrGaryy]

also, she'll be featured in the new Chicken Soup for the Soul book, which is a series of books that artists talk about one of their famous songs and tell the story behind it and it features a pic and the lyrics, its pretty cute.

[Billy]

apparently she's hosting this years EMAs

[MrGaryy]

^that would be fun, I very much doubt it somehow tho. She hosted in 03' and come November she'll be very busy with album promotion and filiming for the movie. I would DIE if she did tho!

[Harry!]

Maybe relevent to you. A leaked new angle fottage of the 2003 vma's has now appeared. Take a look.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRj8ronqSWg

[MrGaryy]

thanks for that, it looks a lot different than how i had imagined it from the original video.

[KKBL]

Have you seen the pics of her house in that magazing?its amazing!:shocked:

[MrGaryy]

which magazine? I have seen photos of her house before, it looks incredible.

[KKBL]

"InStyle" or something like that.its new.
Theres one picture where shes in her bedroom with her note-pad and recorder writing music which looks amzing:lovedup:.

[MarkWaldorf]

She looks hot in the pics but her house is a mess. I don't like it :/ There's way too much crap everywhere. Obviously this opinion is invalid considering its her house and not a song but w.e LOL

That video is apsolute bull **** IMO!!
This performance was before anyone had ever heard anything about Gaga.
And Lady Gaga probably copied Aguilera if you think about it.
Aguilera's "Keep's Getting Better" look was before Gaga released "Just Dance".
Aguilera had the blond hair ALWAYS.
She just added a fringe.
Gaga has said that she's not a natural blond and changed her hair to stop the Amy Whinehouse comparisions.

And that performance was AMAZING!
WAY better dancing then I've EVER seen Gaga do.
She wouldn't be able to do hat Aguilera does in the dancing stakes.
This was just out of this world good.
Gaga can't really dance well.

[MrGaryy]

oh wow zac I had no idea we were still in 2008. its old news everyone knows the performance was inspired by super heros. Christina even said herself, she didnt even know who GaGa was. You'd swear GaGa was the first person to ever have blonde bangs.

anyway exciting news....Christina's leading man in Burlesque will be CAM GIGANDET seen in Twilight in SOOOO HOT.

can't waittt

[xDramatick]

Mmm Cam.
Even if I detest Twilight, he's hot.

I still want the ****ing new album. :bawling:

[MrGaryy]

*sigh* dont we all. However at least she's a bit more active now. She's been doing a lot as ambassador for World Hunger Relief, here's the official commericial they filmed the day she went busking

http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/09/78900/

and she recently travelled to Guatemala with Jordan, to see how hunger effects people first hand:

Aguilera explained: "I wanted to see with my own eyes what hunger means. As a mom my heart just breaks when I see how young mothers like Concepción struggle to feed their children. I don’t think I can ever forget these images," the music superstar added.

Rampant malnutrition

Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman traveled with WFP to villages in the Guatemalan highlands near Lake Atitlan, where up to 80 percent of the indigenous children are malnourished. Guatemala has the fourth highest child malnutrition rate in the world.

"The people of WFP do such a great job helping hungry children and mothers,"said Aguilera. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful project and incredible team." Her husband added: "This trip was a life-changing experience".

and here's a pic form the trip, might I add how great she looks without makeup!

cute kids :)

[MrGaryy]

Danja has been confirmed to be working on tracks for Burlesque!

and if anyone hasn't seen, though I doubt that, it's been all over TV, here's the hot commercial for By Night:

• PRODUCER PRAISES AGUILERA ALBUM

Christina Aguilera's next album is one of her best records ever, her producer has said.

Showbiz Spy claims that Tricky Stewart described Light & Darkness as "just great".

"I wouldn't say that it's alternative, I wouldn't say that it's different," Stewart said. "Christina's always been an artist that moves the bar and that's what the great ones do.

"They don't stay in the same place for long and this album is just another move for her.

"I really feel it's one of her best bodies of work that I've heard since Stripped."

Stewart claimed earlier this week that Aguilera has finished recording the album.

[MrGaryy]

yah he also said she doesn't plan to release it until after filming for Burlesque raps up. That means January at the earliest. D:

[MarkWaldorf]

Danja<3

He totally managed to give Britney a new sound. It'll be interesting to see what he does with Christina.

[Zac]

I guess if it's such a great album it's worth waiting until January for, right?

[KKBL]

Is it true shes working with Flo Rida?Please say no :sad:

[MrGaryy]

I guess if it's such a great album it's worth waiting until January for, right?

Well yah I'm just pissed because she's missing an oppurtunity by not releasing this year when it\s had electronica written all over it. And because she and her people have failed to inform us on anything. The only things we know about the album are what Sia and Tricky have told us, her official site hasnt been updated in forever, its not far on the fans. One minute it Summer release, then september, then novmeber and now 2010.

and yah KKBL, its been confirmed she's done a track with him. I'm not sure if he actually features on the track tho.

[setanta]

I see that slut features has her own fragrance out. Who's going to buy it?

[xDramatick]

I see that slut features has her own fragrance out. Who's going to buy it?

slut? oh yeah, she's totally been around the block recently.

&Gary, bloody hell, this album was due last september before she announced it was actually due to be a GH.

[MrGaryy]

I see that slut features has her own fragrance out. Who's going to buy it?

gosh idk probably the people who purchased her last 3 best selling fragrances.

[setanta]

Yep, and mores the pity that people have been duped by this little hussy.

[Callum]

Hurt is at #20 and climbing on iTunes after X Factor! :shocked:

[MrGaryy]

yeah apparently it;s expected to make a Top 15 re-entry on Sunday! :D

Kristen Bell [Gossip Girl, Heroes, Veronica Mars]
Cam Gigandet - [Twilight, The OC]
Cher - [Oscar winning actress and Grammy winning singer]
Stanley Tucci - [Devil Wears Prada, Shall We Dance?]
Julianne Hough - [Professional dancer on Dancing With The Stars and singer]

[Princess]

That's a lot of big names!

[MrGaryy]

I know!! I'm surprised at how promising this whole thing is looking to be, I was expecting a bit of a low budget mess, but it's looking to be a bit of a blockbuster!

[Christina]

Love that sig, Gaz!

[MrGaryy]

qt wig, they're really getting the 'small town girl' look down :P

[MiuMiu]

When the feck is this bitch releasing new material?
I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrGaryy]

well it was supposed to be around now but she decided she didn't want to release anything until she finished filming, so she could give it full promotion. Now it will probably be around February with the single late January.

[MrGaryy]

new demos leaked, rumoured:

apparently produced by Ladytron
OIB_vnBPQOo

apparently produced by Tricky Stewart
4-cfHm1wXvA

also by Tricky, supposedly
uT0D_6YD9tU

[xDramatick]

I like them all but I doubt they're real.

[Shaun]

the first two demos sound qt, the third does not.

[MrGaryy]

im beginning to believe this source. he's 'leaked' two more. one be M.I.A which sounds very much like what she would produce:

supposedly produced by Major Lazer
CH-A_c9532E

apparently produced by M.I.A
gN7Ni3b906c

also Stripped was voted #14 on albums of the decade by Rolling Stone magazine and Beautiful was #13 for songs!

[Z]

I like the Ladytron one the best, I think they're all quite good bar the Major Lazer one... what is that? Yeuch. Can't wait to hear a new album from her though!

[Shaun]

hate the Major Lazer one... and not so keen on the M.I.A. one.

But I dunno. they're only demos, and she usually makes great choons, so, i won't write it off.

[MrGaryy]

http://www.christina-crazy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1978&pos=4

stepping out to celebrate her 29th birthday, looking fierce.

[Hugo]

kinda hot<3
I think next year could be her big comeback year. The movie is either gonna be a mess or a hit & as for the album idk, I don't like the sound of those demos sad/

[xDramatick]

NJmLsDz0lVM

she confirmed the album's out in march! eek! so excited!
we get a new album, a film, and the soundtrack.
lots of xtina <3

[Princess]

March?? YAYYYYYYYYYY!

[Vladimir]

OMG! Can't wait! :)

[MrGaryy]

HMV Japan have the album listed as March 3rd on their site!

[MrGaryy]

oh btw, she and Cher will be presenting an award at the Golden Globes in two weeks!!

[InOne]

Christina - The Rich mans Britney Spears

(Rich being a metaphor)

[MrGaryy]

true, haha!

she's looking SO great right now!

[InOne]

Indeed she is!!!! Intelligent, articulate, beautiful, charismatic, talented, charming woman!!

[Lewis.]

LOL. I had an argument with my stepdad over Christina and Britney last night. He prefers Britney.. I prefer Xtina. She's so much more talented

[InOne]

Christina owns Britney

[Sophii3x]

Ahh March, I cannot wait :) 2010 is gonna be a big year for her!

Love the pictures of Christina and Nicole.. wonder if Max and Harlow were there? hmm

[MrGaryy]

LOL. I had an argument with my stepdad over Christina and Britney last night. He prefers Britney.. I prefer Xtina. She's so much more talented

Depends what sort of music lover you are I guess. If you're really into the music and lyrics and vocals Christina is your girl. But if you just want fun dance music with catchy hooks and someone who will entertain Britney takes it.

^and yeah Sophie, I love how they're still great friends. I don't know how Nicole got their though because her and Joel threw their own party in Vegas from what I heard.

it would be so cute if Max and Harlow became good friends.

[xDramatick]

"It was first confirmed the album title would be "Light & Darkness" but later HMV Japan said they have recieved information that the title is now "The Illusion Factory" but aren't allowed to publish this information on their site till they get permission from Sony."

PLEASE BE TRUE.
The Illusion Factory sounds hawt.

[MrGaryy]

oooh I'd LOVE that. Light and Darkness is sf lame tbh. TIF is very intriguing.

[xDramatick]

"Xtina confirmed to Marie Claire her album title is "Bionic" and that the first single may be a song called "Glam"."

Meh, Bionic > L&D, but it's not as cool as TIF lol.

[Princess]

Bionic ain't bad! Better than L&D anyways!

[MrGaryy]

Bionic is ok I guess. better than L&D but idk I'm not sure yet.

Really hope Glam isnt the single though.

[MrGaryy]

I'm so excited to get Marie Claire now, she looks incredible in the photos:

http://talk.livedaily.com/showpost.php?p=16073301&postcount=1

so young and vibrant, I love it!

[M X]

I'm looking foward to her album! Is it still going to have an electro sound?

[xDramatick]

I'm looking foward to her album! Is it still going to have an electro sound?

Yeah, she's worked with the following people:

Linda Perry
Goldfrapp
Ladytron
M.I.A
Le Tigre
Santigold
Flo Rida
Switch
Focus
Dan Carey
Oscar Ramirez
John Hill
Sam Endicott (of The Bravery)
Claude Kelly
Steve Morales
Dr. Luke
Paul Sheehy
Detail
Tricky Stewert
Bloodshy & Avant

Confirmed tracks according to Marie Claire are 'Glam', 'Bionic' and 'Lullaby'.
Other rumoured track titles include 'Sex For Breakfast', 'Listen Up', 'Monday Morning', 'You Lost Me' and 'Mind Control' [the latter three have been floating around for ages]

[MrGaryy]

well Sia confirmed Lullaby and You Lost Me made the album and Sam Endicott confirmed that Monday Morning is real but doesn't know if it's made the album.

[Princess]

Gary your sig<3

[Hugo]

I don't like Bionic.

[Sophii3x]

Love Bionic as the album title. I bet 'Sex for Breakfast' is gonna be so hot!

She looks amazing in the new pics too, gutted I can't buy the mag.. I just checked and Billie Piper is on the cover of the UK Feb edition :(

[Barbie]

when is her first single released?

[MrGaryy]

Gary your sig<3

thanks! she looks so great!
<33

[Enid]

Goldfrapp
Ladytron
M.I.A
Le Tigre
Santigold
Five brilliant artists! I may have to give her album a listen to then!

[MrGaryy]

I don't like Bionic.

I don't like Tom Shattock.

[MrGaryy]

just thought I should clear this up - she did say March at the NYE party but various sources have said that her management confirmed a April release.

maybe the single is properly released in March?

[xDramatick]

I hope not, I like the album release being March 'cos then the single will come sooner!
Besides, Diana's album is out in April and I can't wait four months for BOTH albums :P

[MrGaryy]

but the single and album really need 2 solid months of promotion if this is gonna be her big comeback and she has nothing planned in January bar the Golden Globes. Personally I'd rather wait a month and have the album given the best shot it can be given.

[MrGaryy]

newwwww song titles:

"Kimono Girl" (Produced by Ladytron)
"Little Dreamer" (Produced by Ladytron)
"Birds of Prey" (Produced by Ladytron)
"So What You Got" (Produced by Dr. Luke)

[Callum]

She looks really good in the pictures of her and Cher on the set of Burlesque.

Looking forward to the new album!

[MrGaryy]

[Princess]

Wooooop!

[xDramatick]

wooo!
my mum got herself 'Christina Aguilera' and she loves it.

also;
Recorded in her home studio, Christina Aguilera's as-yet-untitled fourth studio album shows her dabbling in rap and dance and boasts an intriguing array of collaborators: Linda Perry, Sia Furler & Sam Dixon, Chris "Tricky" Stewart & Claude Kelly, Santigold, M.I.A., John Hill & Dave Switch, Ladytron and Le Tigre. The album will also have empowering ballads, including the Perry-produced "Lift Me Up." The project is a departure from 2006's "Back to Basics"-a soul- and hip-hop-fusing tribute to such inspirations as Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and Billie Holiday that spun off the No. 6 Billboard Hot 100 hit "Ain't No Other Man" and has sold 1.7 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Aguilera will make her feature-film debut later this year in the dramatic musical "Burlesque." Slated for release at Thanksgiving, the film also stars Cher, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci and Julianne Hough.

It seems 'Lift Me Up' will be the new Hurt/Beautiful, produced by Linda Perry +it's a ballad.
&her label have confirmed an April release due to filming schedules or something, which means a March release = no promotion.

April's gonna be busy. Xtina + Diana?

[MrGaryy]

I think Lullaby is gonna be the new Hurt/Beautiful, Linda worked on that track along with Sia and Chrisitna and everyone who's heard has raved about it being so emotional.

and my mum has By Night and Inspire....both bought by me, for xmas two years in a row so that I could have the boxes LOL.

[MrGaryy]

Golden Globes tonight!! so excited, she's arriving in this special eco friendly car I think, it's something to do with helping Haiti and will be presenting best Original Song in a movie with Cher. I have the Sky1 and E! Red Carpet coverage on record LOL so I'm hopinh I'll see two interviews and maybe she'll give us some album/movie info! Hope she's looking good too!

[MrGaryy]

she. looked. phenomenal. seriously every sort of epic, her dress was beautiful, she's in fantastic shape. Cher looked a mess LOL. her hair was gorgeous too!

RCA Records (Jan 16, 2010)

Including 14 brand new tracks, including the first single, 'GLAM' (due to impact radio Feb. 1st) with productions from The Neptunes, Linda Perry, Goldfrapp, Le Tigre, Tricky Stewart and M.I.A - the album sees a new musical direction from Christina.

"This album is totally different to what I've done in the past - much more upbeat, electronic and dance music," says Aguilera, "and I can't wait for you to all hear it."

'GLAM' is billed as "a poppy hip-hop inflected throwback to Madonna's Vogue," by Marie Claire magazine.

2. Lift Me Up
3. Monday Morning
4. Bionic
5. You Lost Me
6. Lullaby
7. Listen Up
8. Sex for Breakfast

from SIN.
Sounds AMAZING.
Yay for 14 tracks!

[Sophii3x]

She looked stunning at the Golden Globes, that colour in her is lovely. And her body looks amazing.

Ahhh TRACKLIST! 14 songs isn't bad at all, yay! And I hope the cover is released soon. Thanks for posting, Darenn.

[Princess]

EEK tracklist!!!! It sounds amazing! And she looked amazing at the Golden Globes.

[MrGaryy]

apparently that press release is fake I've heard, I don't mind either way though because it sounds great so far.

we should also be getting another new track as she has been confirmed to perform at George Clooney's Haiti benefit concert Hope For Haiti, along with Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys and loads of others, songs from participating artists will also be available on iTunes, with proceeds going to the relief effort. and it will be broadcast too, all sounds very exciting! On January 22nd btw.

[M X]

She looked amazing at the Golden Globes! &that sounds great, 14 tracks! :D

On January 22nd btw.

As much as I really hope it's a new track, I could honestly just see her performing a remixed/newly arranged version of 'Hurt', 'Beautiful', 'Fighter' or 'I Turn To You'.
I do hope it's a brand new track though.

Is 22nd when it becomes available?

[MrGaryy]

I thought that too, but I don't see many people buying a live performance of a song they already have most likely so I think she's gonna do a cover, like when she did I Loves You Porgy last year. And no I think it'll be available to buy on the 23rd!

After compiling all the Hot 100's of the last decade [Maxim, FHM, Askmen.com, ect.] Christina ranked as the 9th sexiest woman of the decade <33

[CaraRawr]

the tracklist sounds epic! and she looked fierce at the golden globes. <3

[xDramatick]

watching a rehearsal of a song from christinas new album that shes perfrming live for haiti on clooneys benefit tomw nite. Someone pinch me

AHHHH SO excited!!!!

[Z]

Collaborating with Sia Furler and Le Tigre? I love Christina Aguilera!

[MrGaryy]

woop Xtina love.

Diana Argon [Quinn, Glee] joined the cast of Burlesque!! I'm so in love with this cast so far.

[xDramatick]

^ same! it's turning out to be quite a good cast :]

[MrGaryy]

I know, they're all really accomplished actors/performers. either that or hot LOL. I'm actually big fans of Cam [The OC, Twilight], Cher [music wise], Diana [Glee], Peter [The OC, American Beauty], Eric [Grey's Anatomy], Kristen Bell [Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars] and Stanley Tucci [Devil Wears Prada, Lucky Number Slevin]<333

which is pretty good considering I was expecting Crossroads 20. ie, a Cher, Christina and a cast of total unknowns.In fact there hasn't been a single person to sign up who I hadn't heard of before!

[MrGaryy]

oh.
my.
god.

it was so beautiful she looked fantastic, Lift Me Up, omg so emotional sounded amazing I can not wait for studio version and [presumably] a video at some point it's gonna be a huge hit I think.

[Princess]

Oooh I've seen all those things! Well at least one per person anyways.

Just caught the very end of Christina on the Haiti concert,sounded amazing!

[MrGaryy]

Here you are Laura, and anyone else:

2ZxtLSiE30w

[Princess]

Thank you!

[Princess]

Wowwwwww that was incredible!

[MrGaryy]

can't believe ****ing Madonna is trending on twitter and Christina isnt.

[Billy]

Both Xtina & Shakira were amaze I thought.

[MrGaryy]

yeah I loved Shakira too! they were all pretty great tbh, I pre-ordered the album on iTunes.

[Billy]

just watched justin timberlakes too and he was amazing! didn't know he could sing like that.

[MrGaryy]

he was another great one. Jennifer Hudson blew me away also.

[Billy]

ooh i've not got to her yet.

[xDramatick]

Oh, and that leaked preview track is confirmed (http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00030276.html) to be from Burlesque, for those that were wondering.

[MarkWaldorf]

she was amazing tbh. i can't imagine how insane her vocals will sound on the studio version.

[MrGaryy]

Oh, and that leaked preview track is confirmed (http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00030276.html) to be from Burlesque, for those that were wondering.

I figured so, I'm glad though, it sounded hot. Retro but with a definite modern touch. Can't wait for the soundtrack!

[MrGaryy]

New song from the soundtrack of Burlesque, tagged still great. Some say it's called Spotlight some say Burlesque:
cuRQv2aSK3Y

[xDramatick]

I love that!
Sia confirmed it's not called Spotlight, eh.. I'll tag it as Burlesque for now.

[MrGaryy]

so according to ContactMusic, Glam debuts on Feb 10, which could mean it's less than two weeks away!!

oh and that promo that leaked awhile ago that everyone wrote off looks to be for Christina after all. Someone found a screencap of it from the official SonyBMG website with 'Christina Aguilera' in the URL. I hope it is tbh, it's really cool and I love the music used in it:

p7kguPpzR3U

[MarkWaldorf]

the link in the song url was for the german website when they asked if it was her, cause they didn't know either apparently.

[Barbie]

wow that song for the haiti concert was really good, hope the album is just as good and it comes soon!

[MrGaryy]

exciting stuff from Le Tigre's blog:

I just saw the Marie Claire with CHRISTINA AGUILERA on the cover and I realized we are waaaay overdue for an update. Yes, the rumors are true. . . Le Tigre wrote and produced a couple of songs with Christina! Not wanting to break the spell of this magic opportunity as we wait in suspense to hear if our tracks make it on the album, we’ve been quiet on the topic. But now that the buzz is getting crazy I just can’t contain myself. Needless to say, for a feminist band obsessed with pop music, it was pretty much a dream come true.

Around this time last year we got word that Deceptacon was Christina’s jam and that she wanted to work with Le Tigre on some new songs. At first we were tormented by the goal of writing “another Deceptacon” for her, wondering how to crack the code to its energy and production style (“****, do we have to find an HR16-B on eBay and synch-up a fast beat with a warped guitar sample on an antique Mirage?!”) plus we wanted to write melodies that would showcase Christina’s incredible voice. The pressure was on! But we quickly realized that we just had to be ourselves and put our hearts into pulling together our best demos to play for her.

So. . . we prepared for our trip to LA to work with her in a typically crazy Le Tigre way due to our individually hectic schedules. Kathleen and I were in NYC meeting up periodically, handing off beats on mini-drives, and downloading JD’s arpeggiator loops and basslines sent from hotels rooms and backstage wi-fi all across the country (she was on tour with MEN). And, oh yeah, did I mention I had just given birth?! In June I flew to LA with my 11 week old baby Goldie and met up with JD at the airport shuttle to the car rental place. Kathleen stayed in NYC and we did lyric brainstorming via text messages, and JD and I sent her running to FedEx with her secret signature vocal FX box so Christina could try it out.

Meeting Christina and working with her at her home studio was simultaneously super comfortable and normal-seeming while also kind of a mind-blowing window into another world. If you’ve read the Marie Claire article you know about the crucifix doorknobs and plush couches, red and black decor, dish of ricolas and awesome speakers. But what made me feel at home as an artistic collaborator was that the space she had to be creative in was also filled with cool art and beautiful books and tons of notepads and a million great pens. Curling up in sweatpants, puzzling over lyrics and checking her blackberry while the beat loops forever. . . Hey Christina is just like us after all! She is totally cool and hilarious and down-to-earth.

But when it came time to lay down vocals we were in awe. She is a technical virtuoso behind the mic, layering take after take of flawless vocals and coming up with variations, ad-libs, and harmonies on the fly. And while her voice is like a force of nature, she is completely disciplined in her approach to recording and realizing her vision for each track. At the end of each night she would have a CD burned for her and come back with detailed comments about things she wanted to perfect the next day.

It was definitely intimidating, when we stopped and thought about it, to work with such a huge star (I mean, she has her own perfume line), so we tried not to think about it too much. Obviously Christina has a massive audience and a mainstream presence, and so the question a lot people ask about the experience is how did this change or influence our approach to the content of the songs. Together we tailored themes and specific references to her personality and image but found a ton of common ground in our aim to make upbeat danceable tracks celebrating female friendship, strength, and of course, PARTYING. And while the giant sound of her stacked vocals and the pop sheen she lends to the tracks might seem at odds with Le Tigre’s aesthetic roots, it really works. The songs have a lot of elements we’re known for, like a garage guitar sound, schoolyard chants, new wave-y synths, electro beats, and somehow it all sounds crazily right with Christina’s unbelievable voice. We hope you get to hear the songs sometime soon!

sounds so awesome!

[Princess]

That does sound amazing! I wonder if that baby Goldie is a boy or a girl.

Feb 10,eekness! I have some uni thing due on the 12th and I keep putting it off cos it feels like ages away but it's not is it,oops...

[MrGaryy]

I assumed it was a boy? idk tho.

and omg I know!! only 10 days now!

[Princess]

You must be about ready to explode :p

[MrGaryy]

Well obviously it's super exciting after all this time, but I'm surviving nicely with the constant flow of photos and news I've been getting the last month LOL. She looked SO good at Tricky Stewart's pre-Grammy's party last night, she's in fantastic shape:

http://www.xtina-web.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=2532&pos=4

[Princess]

I just got more excited if there was stuff like photos and news :p Wow she looks brilliant!

[MrGaryy]

Preview of Burlesque on Entertainment Tonight, omg it looks freakin' HAWT. I'm so excited.

[MrGaryy]

AM I TALKING TO MYSELF IN HERE ah\

anyway, a recent interview with Circus, My Life Would Suck Without You, Party In The USA, writer Claude Kelly:

Is there any one artist, or someone you’ve worked with recently, where you feel you really connected and worked exceptionally well together?

"There’s a bunch. But most recently, the one who’s gotten me super excited is Christina Aguilera, who I’ve spent many days with in the studio working on songs for her new album, as well as songs for her movie. She’s totally inspiring because she eats, sleeps and breathes her artistry. She’s visual like I am, she’s a perfectionist and wants the best possible product.
We have a similar work ethic and we clicked right away. And because of that, we created some of the work I’m most proud of because it really is a labor of love and creative, different stuff.
I’m excited for people to hear what we did together. I have three songs on her new album that’s coming out, called Bionic, and three songs in Burlesque, a movie she’s filming right now with Cher that’s coming out towards the end of the year."

sounds good!

I'm just fed up of waiting now. I mean, I was fed up last year lol, but I took a lil' break from it because there was no hype and distracted myself with all the new artists releasing in 2009. However this year, I've only really found myself liking 3 albums (Sugababes, Two Door Cinema Club +Diana's sampler), with Ke$ha being disappointing and HURTS' album not out yet.
idk, there seemed to be loads of hype for Xtina's album, the release date, the supposed tracklisting, the title, 'Glam', 'Lift Me Up', that 'Burlesque' song leaking... but now it feels like it's starting to fade again. don't get me wrong, i absolutely adore her and always will but eh.. now i'm really sick of waiting.
Just give me the lead single, a proper release date+tracklisting+artwork and i'll be content.

February has been very disappointing :( January was so reassuring with got the Burlesque song, Lift Me Up, Haiti concert, Marie Claire shoot, Golden Globes appearance. But this month its like its gone backwards. But I'm still content tbh, I know I should be going crazy right now but I'm not I think the excitement is tiding me over very well.

Oh and I've loved all of the three you mentioned. Ke$ha's album was quite good, but admittedly disappointing, Delphic's album is good, Marina's is excellent, Heidi's is a lot of fun and I've just found this new girl Lexy Panterra who I'm loving so I'm doing alright haha :P

[InOne]

Didn't know these had every collaborated they go well together

[MrGaryy]

I agree, Impossible was meant to be a single apparently but it never happened. They're a perfect match really, two of the best vocalists and writers in pop today I think.

[InOne]

Indeed, both very good, they should release a duet

[MrGaryy]

Indeed that would be a collaboration I'd be interested in! Doubt it would ever happen though, Christina's not one to repeat herself.

[InOne]

This sounds live did they tour together or something?

[MrGaryy]

nope, apparently a lot of the songs on Stripped, the album that came from, were done in one take though so that could explain it.

[MrGaryy]

Burlesque filiming has officially wrapped!
I'm so proud of her <3

...and now this means the Bionic promo machine can get into full gear.

[Princess]

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :hugesmile:

[xDramatick]

yay!
finally, she can start with Bionic.

btw, although I've been saying this from the beginning, that whoami person thing is DEFO not Christina.
Look at the latest vid, it looks nothing like her.
I reckon it's Fever Ray, someone's art work [as opposed to a musician] or someone new/irrelevant.

[MarkWaldorf]

^i think it was recently proven to be some artist who's name begin with L. and i kind of feel sorry for Christina now, because a lot of people are going to expect her to match that.

[xDramatick]

Really?!
who?!

[MarkWaldorf]

Lykke Li

[xDramatick]

ah i thought it might be her!
her music's good :]

[MrGaryy]

I like Lykke Li :)

Rolling Stone have been saying some stuff about the album! It seems the 'Lullaby' is called All I Need and they've quoted her as saying she wanted to avoid that 'Christina sound'. Perhaps they've done an interview with her for an upcoming issue??

[Princess]

Well every album she's done has been different sounding,lol. Cute about her son!

[MrGaryy]

yeah, that's what I love about her she keeps you guessing!

can't believe it's less than 2 months away. last I heard it was released on April 16th!

[Princess]

That's like a month away! EEEK.

[MrGaryy]

Sia's now said in an interview that the first single won't be Glam it will be a song called Bionic.

not sure if I like the title track being a single but it's probably hot.

[xDramatick]

Eh, i don't give a **** what it's called just release it now. lmfao.

[MrGaryy]
