[MrGaryy]

Any news recentley?

go back a page.

[M X]

Finally some news!

[xDramatick]

ROTFL, they've even screwed up the countdown.
Apparently yesterday, it kept changing between 1 day and 2 days.

Now it's DEFINITELY going to finish at 4pm, tomorrow UK-time.
So excited, it better be the artwork&tracklisting, and/or a song/preview.

I'll be annoyed if it's like 'hey guys, here's the artwork'... 'and now here's a countdown until the next piece of news' lmfao.

[MrGaryy]

not keen on the font, the title is sort of hot and she's looking nice. Plus at least we know that god awful cheap font isn't necessarily the font for the era.

[MrGaryy]

oh and in other news, the single will debut on radio:

US - Monday March 29th 7am
UK - Monday March 29th 6pm
AUS/NZ - Tuesday March 30th 7am (locally)

so 1 week to go!! and her HQ confirmed there'll be news every day this week.

[xDramatick]

I love it <3

[MrGaryy]

NMT produced by Polow Da Don [Glamorous, Buttons] and written by Christina and Ester Dean [Patron Tequila - Paradiso Girls, Whatcha Think About That and a lot of stuff for Mary J. Blige]. the track was actually done last minute, the album had been finished and they only recorded it last week!

oh Jeri Slaughter is choreographing the video, he did both of her last tours!
aaah it's all so exciting.

[CaraRawr]

the cover art is hot, and i loveee the title!!

[Princess]

Yayyyy for the single soon.

[Barbie]

Oo i didnt think it would come this soon! yay, i know what i will be listening to next week

[xDramatick]

I'm a bit scared tbh, as much as I LOVE Buttons + Glamorous, they're a tad.. urban sounding. I want indie-electronica Xtina :( I'm bound to love it if it's anything like Buttons + Glamorous though.

Not Myself Tonight just sounds fantastic, and I love the artwork. I can imagine how hot the video will be.
AHHH she's really back.
i love it i love it i love it i love it.

[MrGaryy]

yeah but I'm sure the song will be urban but with that electro vibe. TBH the thought of an electro Buttons is very exciting to me!

Casting call sent out for FIVE dancers for the video presumably, choreographed by Jeri Slaughtered who did her last two tours!

[Barbie]

Is this buttons song a leak or an official song, i dont remember it?

[MrGaryy]

Is this buttons song a leak or an official song, i dont remember it?

it's by the Pussycat Dolls :P

[Firewire]

Can't wait to hear Not Myself Tonight.

And I love the artwork.

[M X]

So excited to hear NMT!.. the artwork looks so fierce. I really hope this record does really well.

[MrGaryy]

today's news was the lyrics, written by Ester and Polow, which makes me think it was definitely a last minute addition to the album.

You know tonight
I am feeling a little out control
is this me
you wanna get crazy
because I don't give a...

1ST VERSE
I'm out of character
I'm in rare form
and If you really knew me
you'd know its not the norm

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
the old me's gone I feel brand new
and if you don't like it ****** you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

2ND VERSE:
I'm dancing alot and I'm taking shots I'm feeling fine
I'm kissing all the boys and the girls
someone call the doctor cause I lost my mind

B SECTION:
Cause I'm doing things that I normally won't do
the old me's gone I feel brand new
and if you don't like it ****** you

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

BRIDGE:
In the morning
when I wake Up
I'll go back to the girl I used to be
but baby not tonight

HOOK:
I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

I'm not myself tonight
tonight I'm not the same girl same girl

Yah, that feels good
I needed that
get crazy
let's go
that's right
come on
give it to me now, don't stop

[Billy]

am I the only one who thinks those lyrics are awful?

[MrGaryy]

am I the only one who thinks those lyrics are awful?

on first glance they're not great. but I think if you saw the lyrics to Dirrty on their own before hearing the song they'd look as much like a skank ass britney knock off as that does. Plus Christina didn't write this track so at least it isn't her songwriting ability that has gone down hill. I'm confident the production and killer vocals will save it.

[Firewire]

Excited.

[Twilight]

Can't wait

[xDramatick]

hmm, iffy on the lyrics.

I HATE HOW UNSURE I AM.
I'm sure I'll love it when I hear it.
Wonder what today's news is.

[xDramatick]

it is LOL? you can see the cover when you scroll down.
very nicely done, looks great.

[MrGaryy]

some information on NMT from the dancers who auditioned, sounds very reassuring!

Okay, first things first. The song. It's not hip hop or R&B at all. The song is very Pop. It kinda gives me a BEP/PCD kinda vibe. Doesn't sound like Polow Da Don's typical stuff. I wouldn't expect this to get played at a Hip Hop club or anything. So, to the people worrying about "ghetto this" and "ghetto that", it's not. From what I could hear, it's not an extremely fast uptempo or anything. It's an uptempo in the way "Dirrty" was. It's fast-ish (is that word? ), but not super speed like "Ain't No Other Man" was. Kinda like "Buttons" as far as speed. Christina is giving you full out vocals. It's not subdued or autotuned. She's giving you signature Christina. "Tell Me" vocals with the belts on certain words here and there. I couldn't hear it crystal clear, because they have the music so damn loud. The dancers are only auditioning to the intro, first verse, and the hook. They're not playing the full song.

[Vladimir]

That sounds promising.

[Princess]

Just seen the cover,it's amazinggggg

[M X]

love love love the cover <3

[xDramatick]

some information on NMT from the dancers who auditioned, sounds very reassuring!

okay, reassured.
bring it on <3

[xDramatick]

you can hear a clip here! (http://www.christinaaguilera.com/)

love ittt!! <3

[Enid]

I think she looks great on her website. I instantly thought of Bram Stoker's Dracula when I saw it.

[MrGaryy]

i hated the clip at first but it;'s really growing on me. Already you can tell she's done a lot of experimenting with her voice on the record.

[Vladimir]

I like it, can't wait for the full song. I was expecting a different kind of song though.

[Sophii3x]

Eee, it's finally all happening!! :D
LOVE LOVE LOVE the album cover, I've seen a HQ version and there's so many little details in the right hand side.
Love the sound of the song too, can't wait to get the full version!

[M X]

The song is good, just very different from what I was expecting. I was expecting a much more electronic experimental sound, but I'm waiting until I hear the full thing before judging. &i lovee the cover so much!

[MrGaryy]

TEN ****ING MINUTES AH\.

posted on the official site.

[MrGaryy]

I was gutted when I saw that because I was gonna send in a photo to ChristinaVIP.com but thought nothing would come of it, haha :P

anyway the video is apparently being directed by Hype Williams. Should be interesting, he hasn't done much up tempo stuff but his videos always have a really rich tone to them, like;

Neyo - So Sick
Kanye - Heartless
Beyonce and GaGa - Videophone
Kelis - Caught Out There
Coldplay - Viva la Vida

Pop/R&B hit maker Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson's “My Life Would Suck Without You,” Britney Spears' “Circus,” R. Kelly's “Echo”) isn’t buying the comparisons. The busy songsmith, who wrote four tracks for Aguilera’s upcoming Bionic project and has penned songs for Gaga mentor Akon, insists Christina deserves more respect.

“That’s crap to me…it’s really bull,” Kelly tells VIBE. “Christina Aguilera has been around for over 10 years now. As far as pop goes, she is the defining voice of today’s music. She can do things with her voice that I haven’t heard anybody else do. She’s constantly reinventing herself. As fans, as soon as an album is done and an artist disappears for a while, we tend to write them off as over or no longer relevant.”

Kelly continues: “In the time that she has been gone, Gaga, who I know pretty well, has had an unbelievable run. Christina has an album that’s going to slap people in the face. The music still has her signature, big note vocals and emotions, but the sound is definitely more aggressive, more futuristic than the last album.”

When pressed about how Aguilera intends on proving the naysayers wrong, Kelly points to his work on Bionic.

“I wrote this crazy ass song with Tricky Stewart called 'Glam,'" he says. “It’s a hard club song that’s about high fashion. It’s really for the ladies about getting dressed and looking your best, working it in the club and getting glam and sexy before you go out. Christina wants to talk about getting sexy and independent, but being strong at the same time. It will surprise people. I’m calling it a modern day ‘Vogue.’ I wouldn’t say it unless I believed it.”

As they celebrate 10 years together, the band has been keeping themselves very busy. They wrote and produced three songs for Christina Aguilera's upcoming album Bionic, out June 8, and have continued to travel the world for various DJ gigs.

[MrGaryy]

Christina will be Oprah May 7th and they're looking for her biggest fan! Apparently she'll be performing a few songs and interviewed.

[Callum]

CHICAGO — The Oprah Winfrey Show will broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall on Friday, May 7. A crowd of several thousand ticketed audience members is expected to join Oprah and multi-platinum, five-time Grammy®–winning artist Christina Aguilera for the hour-long live broadcast. Aguilera will perform the single "Not Myself Tonight" from her highly anticipated forthcoming album Bionic (in stores June 8) and also open up about motherhood and her career during an exclusive interview with Oprah. Other special guests are expected to make appearances during the broadcast.

sounds ****ing EPIC. I can't wait.

[Vladimir]

I can't wait too. I really want to see her performing NMT live.

[MrGaryy]

omfgomfgomfg.

GLEE ARE DOING CHRISTINA!!

Episode three is called "Home"and includes another terrific example of this when Mercedes performs Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," a song which, well, beautifully illustrates what her character has gone through that episode. (To be fair, her actual storyline in that ep is done pretty well, but the song really drives the point home.)

Another fantastic bit of promo in time for the album! And I'm super excited to see Amber try this.

[Princess]

She's going to be on Oprah and a song on Glee???? Epic much.

[MrGaryy]

I know!! it's great she really is coming back hard!

[Princess]

Yeah there's nothing better than the time before an album,they can absolutely everywhere,it's brilliant!

[MrGaryy]

it's like, magical for me, because she was AWOL for SO long and now it's like BAM like she never left <3

[Princess]

It was like FOREVER. You must be proper buzzing.

[MrGaryy]

It's amazing getting a steady flow of news every day after like maybe getting some paparazzie shots every month or so if I was lucky LOL.

[Princess]

Haha yeah droughts are when things like Spotted and random news become exciting. And then it's like NEWS.

[MrGaryy]

ikr like I'll never forget the day I went onto a forum and saw a nine page thread called

CONFIRMED: Xtina DOES use the internet!

[MrGaryy]

omfg a photo from the Not Myself Tonight video

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1dJcarz98rU/S8EqVNouhvI/AAAAAAAADBg/f4GwEXCjOVg/s1600/85185064.jpg

I guess it looks pretty hot. We'll see :P

[Princess]

LOL and YAY,that looks pretty amazing.

[xDramatick]

Oprah, Glee + that video pic <3

I'm expecting it to be a tad similar to KGB.
Apparently the video shoot's taking 3 days, according to somewhere on twitter.

[MrGaryy]

Yeah one of the dancers said it's a three day shoot! Hopefully means there's a lot going on in the video.

[M X]

Got Not Myself Tonight on repeat.

I've always liked her, just never considered myself a fan. This song may just turn me into a fan! <3

[xDramatick]

[M X]

Is that a new promo? From the music video?

[MrGaryy]

It isn't actually known what exactly it's for but as it's taken by Alix Malka, I'd say it's for the album shoot.

Not Myself Tonight is now available to buy on iTunes in the UK and Ireland!

[M X]

Its nice.

[MrGaryy]

yeah, she's clearly rocking lots different looks in the shoot.

[M X]

she's re-invented herself so many times.

sweet innocent teen.
dirty slut.
marilyn monroe-esque cabaret girl
vampire vixen

[MrGaryy]

don't forget overblown VMAs flop, pmsl.

It's what makes her stand out from the crowd I think, I'm just so excited as to what comes next because she's said for yearsssss that she's wanted to do a futuristic album and retro album and now she's done them both, I'm hoping for a more rock influenced album.

[CaraRawr]

aaaah the video looks so hot!

[MrGaryy]

NMT has now entered the iTunes Top 100 on the day of it's release, it's currently sitting at #94!

[xDramatick]

NMT has now entered the iTunes Top 100 on the day of it's release, it's currently sitting at #94!

I think it'll start off charting fairly low, then eventually rise.
I predict top 5 at least.
ANOM got to what.. #2 in the UK?
NMT is way more mainstream friendly then that.

[MrGaryy]

currently sitting at #7 on US iTunes!!

[xDramatick]

Currently #5 according to her facebook.

Is she releasing it on Physical?
My mum wants it haha.

[xDramatick]

oh & also:


Last week, in-demand songwriter Claude Kelly called comparisons between Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera “crap,” citing the latter powerhouse vocalist’s decade plus longevity in a business where career success is fleeting.

Now, multiplatinum artist and producer Akon, who signed Gaga to his Kon Live Distribution label in 2008, is giving his own view on the musical battle that's igniting debate on both sides of the fence.

“Aw man, that’s not even any competition,” Akon tells VIBE. “You are actually giving Christina too much credit. She always had her cool little look and way about how she went about things. But soon as Gaga came out everything switched up. Christina stepped out of her own shell to become something different. And the crazy thing is Christina is really talented. She has unlimited range when it comes to singing. Her voice is out of here. I just think she just needs to believe in herself more. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out.”

Akon hopes Aguilera’s upcoming album Bionic showcases more of her dynamic voice and less of the up-tempo, electro pop bad-girl anthems typified by her latest single “Not Myself Tonight.”

“Christina shouldn’t have anything to prove or anyone to compete with,” he continues. “I miss the old Christina Aguilera. I like the old one better than the new one. Honestly, Gaga and Christina could probably get together and do something that’s amazing. But that’s impossible if they are both trying to do the same exact thing musically.”

Akon is set to release his new album Stadium this summer.

twat!
i can't stand him or his music!

[MrGaryy]

Currently #5 according to her facebook.

Is she releasing it on Physical?
My mum wants it haha.

Yeah, comes with a remix too!

[MrGaryy]

gah, I love this article, especially about how the classic popstar seems to have fallen, so true imo.
link (http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/why-were-so-happy-to-see-christina-back-2135226.html)

also, Christina has lots of promo dates lined up now, she's recently filmed spots for

Access Hollywood
GMTV
The Daily Ten

plus she has Oprah and the Today Show concert on the day of Bionic's release, Beautiful in Glee and VH1's Friday Night Alright tomorrow. Plus with the video coming out and she's on the cover of Out Magazine in June, she's so busy atm!! She's really coming back into prominence again :D

[xDramatick]

That article is amazing!
I can't wait for her to start the promo.

Do we have a release date for the physical?

[MrGaryy]

no, I haven't heard anything about a date.

lookin hawt on GMTV!!

[Sophii3x]

Ooh, I love her hair! And she so suits red lipstick :P

I looked on HMV yesterday and there was nothing on a cd single, the album's on there as a pre-order with a tracklist (not sure if it's been released?).

1. Bionic
2. Not Myself Tonight
3. You Lost Me
4. Kimono Girl
5. Lift Me Up
6. So What You Get
7. Stronger
8. Monday Morning
9. Sex For Breakfast
10. Glam
11. Little Dreamer
12. I Am
13. All I Need
14. Birds Of Prey

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;0;-1;-1;-1&sku=468483

[MrGaryy]

yeah that tracklisting has been floating around for a while now but nobody knows if it's true. HMV have previously listed the album as Light and Darkness when that was rumoured so I really don't trust them anymore.

[M X]

was the working title actually 'light and darkness' ?

[M X]

I was on Gaga fansite earlier and in the off-topic somebody posted this,

01. Bionic (3:07)
02. Glam (4:13)
03. Not Myself Tonight (3:05)
04. When I Miss You (4:17)
05. Sex for Breakfast (4:03)
06. Free Woman (3:56)
07. So Many More (6:05)
08. Lift Me Up (3:44)
09. Crying Eyes (5:34)
10. Temptation (3:57)
11. Focus (3:16)
12. Kimono Girl (3:56)

dunno if true though.

[MrGaryy]

was the working title actually 'light and darkness' ?

Not likely. Christina and her people never, ever mentioned it, it was always just a rumour that escalated.

[MrGaryy]

Christina confirmed on radio that she will be performing on the American Idol finale!

[Princess]

Oooooh! AI finales always seem to be huge.

[MrGaryy]

I know, it's gonna be epic promo, yet another big date lined up. I'm so glad she's giving this album a huge push, I was afraid with Max, and the movie and her general work ethic this album might not get the huge comeback shove it needed but she's obviously going all out.

[Princess]

Yeah,she seems to be absolutely everywhere at the minute,let's hope it all pays off.

[KKBL]

I've really gone off NMT now. I hope they rush release the next single now.

[Shaun]

same as KKBL. It bores me now.

[MrGaryy]

I can't imagine she will, she had the American Idol performance coming up and it;s only just charted. the video isn't out for another 2 weeks.

[xDramatick]

I've not gone off it, I still love it.
However.. I'm bored of waiting for the video/promo.

I'm such a bad fan, but it's hard to be patient.

[KKBL]

It might do well on the charts at first but this song won't be hanging around for long. She really need to get a another single out if she wants the album to sell well.
Oh and shes performing at the MTV movie awards ! :D

[xDramatick]

1. Bionic
2. Not Myself Tonight
3. So What You Got / Listen Up (Interlude)
4. Sex For Breakfast
5. Stars / Mirror (Interlude) (feat. M.I.A & Santigold)
6. Glam / Wake Up (Interlude)
7. Monday Morning
8. Kimono Girl
9. I Hate Boys / All I Need (Intro)
10. All I Need
11. Little Dreamer
12. Badass
13. Tasty / Lost (Interlude)
14. You Lost Me
15. Devil In My Eyes
16. I Am
17. Birds Of Prey / Clouds (Interlude)
18. Lift Me Up

New 'Rumoured' tracklist floating around online.
I don't completely believe it but I think there's some truth in it.
It's more realistic than the one on the HMV site.
A tad few too many interludes/intros methinks though.

[MrGaryy]

it's only from wikipedia and was posted immediately after she confirmed I Hate Boys so I don't believe it personally.

NMT out physically on May 2nd.

[Sophii3x]

Ahh thanks Darenn, not long then!
From these preview pics I can see this video having SO many Lady GaGa comparisons :(

[xDramatick]

same.
it bothers me so much how people constantly pick the smallest things to compare her with.

[Sophii3x]

Yeah, it's annoying when it's little petty things. Nobody is really original though as they all take influences from each other, so meh!

[Zippy]

She was copying Gaga before Gaga took off. Sorry, but she was!

[xDramatick]

She was copying Gaga before Gaga took off. Sorry, but she was!

If you're referring to the VMA performance.. I don't see it.
She started working on electro music in 06/07, before GaGa was even HEARD of &the performance was inspired by superheroes [hence the catsuit + 'superbitch' lyrics].

[MrGaryy]

She was copying Gaga before Gaga took off. Sorry, but she was!

PMSL, please GaGa wasn't even relevant until people accused Christina was accused of copying her, she owes Christina a lot. And last time I checked, GaGa didn't event blonde bangs sweetie.

[Vladimir]

Not impressed.

[CaraRawr]

the music video is hot!

[Vladimir]

omg, this is really pathetic. not everyone is trying to copy lady gaga ffs.

omg, this is really pathetic. not everyone is trying to copy lady gaga ffs.

http://i43.tinypic.com/70xbeq.jpg

rotfl.
pathetic, actually, so. ****ing. pathetic.

I adore the video, definitely one of her best.
It reminds me a little bit of Fighter in places.
It's sexual - but not slutty.
It's just. perfect <3

[Zippy]

Oh dear! The comparisons can't be denied.

This track has also dropped from 23 to 49 on Billboard charts.

[Billy]

those comparisons are ridic. Gaga didnt invent men in videos, nor did she invent backing dancers or sunglasses. Oh and the last one isnt even similar.

[Smithy]

The video was great, Dirty Xtina >> Nice Xtina

I can see why there are comparisons, but it's obvious she didn't copy her, the whole concepts of the videos are different

[MrGaryy]

The video is very hot, The rain scenes and when she set fire to her wardrobe = utter FEROCITY. I GENUINELY see no GaGa comparison, I felt Christina managed to be edgy and fresh without being unoriginal.

[Callum]

Really good video, she looks stunning in the up close shots.

[Ross]

I love the video so much!

[Harry!]

Christina Aguilera’s new music video for ‘Not Myself Tonight’ was ‘inspired’ by Madonna’s Express Yourself, Human Nature and Like A Prayer videos.

I love that video btw.

[KKBL]

Christina used to make such a big deal about sexism and how men get away with being promiscuous and thats one of the reasons I respected her so much, but shes lost that respect now. That MV was basically a porno.

[MrGaryy]

Not really :/ I mean yes it was explicit but the message still stands, she's using her sexuality for her own gain, she;s in control as you can see in the final scene, she is the boss, she is empowered.

[xDramatick]

&the fact the song is called 'Not Myself Tonight'. ffs.

[InOne]

Christina can do what she wants, when she wants, and wear as little as she wants ;)

[Princess]

Finally saw the video(loads of the videos I clicked where just people talking about the video :s) It was AMAZING although a bit :shocked:

[Shaun]

Christina can do what she wants, when she wants, and wear as little as she wants ;)

[Possiblehousemate]

LQ live snippets of two album tracks:

QpJJgKPrltk
Bionic

mAHUzC9szL4
You Lost Me

I love them, 'You Lost Me' is beautiful.
You can tell it's a Sia track.

[CaraRawr]

Bionic <3

[Vladimir]

they sound amazing.

[MrGaryy]

Bionic has a real Santigold sound I think, both sound great though <3

[MrGaryy]

ooh apparently she also performed I'm OK live for the very first time!! Can;t wait for that.

[Twilight]

Love not myself tonight

[Shaun]

*writhes*

[xDramatick]

CSGzp7KHtnU

As much as I detest all the copying accusations...
it's interesting to see coming from the other side. haha.

[Twilight]

OMG the one at 2:46 looks like the same thing lol:O

[Princess]

Mwaha so nice to see it from that side. Fed up of all this everyone is copying GaGa crap.

[xDramatick]

Apparently, the standard edition of Bionic will have 18 tracks, & the deluxe limited edition will have 23 (but is £36 for some reason.. so I'm expecting some exciting extras!).

Also, ileaks have 'Bionic' (the song). :/

edit;; ALSO. someone's heard some of the album tracks & has reviewed them here (http://dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/133928/First-listen-Christina-Aguilera-s-new-album-Bionic-/)

[MrGaryy]

Christina on Oprah today! performing and interview! can't wait to see the videos.

[Vladimir]

NMT on Oprah:

r8YXggqLl_4&feature=player_embedded

[KKBL]

Amazing performance. Loved the interview too. Really can't wait for this album. What's the UK release date?

[Vladimir]

June 7

[MrGaryy]

Loved the performance, her voice is still as powerful as ever.

Can't believe she's putting tickets for her tour on sale before the album is even released :|

[M X]

I'm not saying Christina is copying off Gaga, it's just nice to see her being inspired.

[M X]

I can't wait for the tracklisting for Bionic. Songs like 'Sex for Breakfast' & 'Kimono Girl' sound really interesting.

The live version of 'Bionic' sounds amazing, i really like it. +i'm loving the new video!

[Princess]

Loved the performance, her voice is still as powerful as ever.

Can't believe she's putting tickets for her tour on sale before the album is even released :|

Take That put tour tickets on sale before The Circus was even released and they sold just fine.

If it's June 7th for UK does that mean June 4th for Ireland? Yay.

[MrGaryy]

I'm not saying Christina is copying off Gaga, it's just nice to see her being inspired.

inspiring*

Hopefully the same applies here Laura, kinda bummed the tour starts in the summer though cos it means it will be winter before she comes over here.

[MrGaryy]

anyone else kinda think WooHoo is a Nicki track featuring Xtina. It features Nicki SO much and it;s a very un-Christina-ish track. if it for is Bionic I'll be surprised. In other news, on her official site:

CHRISTINA HAS BIG NEWS
TO ANNOUNCE THIS MONDAY

oooh.

[troy4783]

Ah, I know & have done that.

[KKBL]

Are Radio One playing NMT?

[Sophii3x]

Does anyone know when NMT is out on physical? My mum wants to know LOL

Bionic really is seeming like Stripped 2.0.
Not Myself Tonight - Dirrty
WooHoo - Can't Hold Us Down
Lift Me Up - Beautiful

It doesn't look like there's gonna be a physical out in the UK :(. BUT I ordered the Aus CD single as an import yesterday on Chaos-I've always used this site to import from Australia, I've never had a problem with them and they deliver really fast to the UK. And it was only £2.17 with free delivery (just atm).

Tracklisting-
1. Not Myself Tonight (Clean Version)
2. Not Myself Tonight (Super Clean Version)
3. Not Myself Tonight
4. Not Myself Tonight (Instrumental)
5. Not Myself Tonight (Call Out Hook)

Here's the link if you're interested- http://chaos.com/product/aguilera-christina-not-myself-tonight/7997195-5333.html


And I LOVE WooHoo <3 so hope this album is Stripped pt.2!

[xDramatick]

Ah thank you so much!! I'm gonna wait for confirmation first, then I'll order it for her!

[Sophii3x]

No probs :) Oh and just to let you know.. they seem to have the free shipping deal on random, like it changes from week to week, wierd I know!

Is there any way we can find out if there is gonna be a UK physical release? Like her label's email/twitter? I could try and email HMV I suppose.

[MrGaryy]

Last I heard there was a UK physical release, but it was planned for like a week ago and obviously we don't have it :(

Official Bionic Tracklist (sorry if this has already been posted :p)

[xDramatick]

I knew it'd be the tracklisting.
Can't wait for this, sounds hot.

[MrGaryy]

I'm ****ing so excited for the Peaches duet, I'm a big fan of hers <3

I just ordered my fan edition of Bionic. I mean in away it's sort of pointless cos all you really get is the vinyl copies which I can't play anyway LOL but still I want to take everything she gives me cos God knows how long it will be before she does this all over again!

[Shaun]

hmm. trying to summon the wherewithal to post something of interest.

[Shaun]

nope. can't. sry zac b/mo x

[xDramatick]

I won't bother with fan edition.
I want it, but I know for me, it's a waste of money. I can't really afford to be spending stuff like that & most of what's included is quite pointless.
I'll buy both the deluxe CD instead, lol.

Oh, and Christina's doing a US tour with Leona Lewis.
May seem a weird match but Christina's known for her voice so it makes sense. Perhaps it's Syco's way of trying to make Leona more edgy? Quite a good match if Leona's set list is varied [Forgive Me, I Got You, Outta My Head with.. Bleeding Love & Run?]

[MrGaryy]

I hope, even though it's not likely, that Leona supports her here too because I'd actually like the opportunity to go see her.

[MrGaryy]

lookin SMOKIN on the cover of GQ.

[MrGaryy]

Birds of Pray is one of the Ladytron tracks iirc.

[xDramatick]

NMT charted at #11.
I hope it climbs next week.

&there'll be a UK bonus track on her album:
24. Little Dreamer.

[Princess]

So the deluxe edition has 24 songs altogether? Wowww.

[Billy]

#20 in the midweeks.

[Smithy]

Bionic in full > http://music.napster.com/christina-aguilera-music/album/bionic/13689289#

(song not album)

[MrGaryy]

omg i LOVE the album previews! My Girls, I Am, Glam, Sex For Breakfast, Monday Morning <3

Also, Christina will be interviewed and performing on Friday Night With Jonathon Ross on June 4th!! Ironically, Eminem is also performing that episode! :P

[xDramatick]

30 secs (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bionic-Explicit/dp/B003N5QGPM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1274339771&sr=8-7) preview of the album - for anyone interested.

From the clips, I LOVE the sound of Elastic Love, Glam, Sex For Breakfast, You Lost Me, My Girls, Vanity, Monday Morning & Birds Of Prey.
I think I prefer the acoustic version of Lift Me Up but that's probably just because I'm used to it. The studio version still sounds mega.
Some of the songs still have that jazz/swing sound from B2B, I love it.

[Shaun]

opinion on the album.

bar about 5 songs, it was terrible.

[Princess]

Ooooh yay she's on Wossy the same day the album is out here.

[Smithy]

Oh the album leaked :P

looks like she went more for quantity than quality :/ although I really like Lift Me Up

[xDramatick]

so the album leaked :| it's amazing but.. bit early for a leak.

she's also postponed her tour until 2011.
this era needs to perk up!

[M X]

Very early for it to leak, it's not released for another 3 weeks. :(
Downloading it now, excited! :D

[xDramatick]

Very early for it to leak, it's not released for another 3 weeks. :(
Downloading it now, excited! :D

it's only two weeks, about the same as Britney's Circus.

[Smithy]

Isn't it only like a week and a bit, when its released in Germany

[M X]

Ah right, oh well. :D

[M X]

The download didn't work :(
Anybody has one that does please?

[MrGaryy]

a lot of places are getting it on June 4th so its not all bad.

[Callum]

I love Desnudate - it reminds me of Britney's Get Naked.

[M X]

Do you have a download link please Callum?

[Smithy]

NzswnGxZ3UY

wow. it looks amazing. the album's not out yet, can't wait to get a copy.

[xDramatick]

hot.

[xDramatick]

The deluxe tracks have leaked [the only track we don't have is Little Dreamer] D;

Monday Morning, & Birds Of Prey <3

[Smithy]

Whats the difference between I Am (stripped) and the album version?

[xDramatick]

it's a stripped-down version.
still definitely one of the best songs on the album <3

[MrGaryy]

argh I wish my fan edition would ship already >:(

[Sophii3x]

My deluxe edition of Bionic got shipped yesterday.. should have it tomorrow or Saturday. Yayyy, so excited to hear all the tracks!! :)

Love the pic of the cd.. so hope lyrics are going to be in the booklet!

[MrGaryy]

mine STILL hasnt shipped :(

[Sophii3x]

Aw Gary :( hope it does for you soon! Can you email to ask when they're being shipped out? They're probs being sent from the US so the have to go through some kinda process though they should be with those who pre-ordered close to the release date really.

[MrGaryy]

on all the Christina forums the US ones have been shipped. You're the first European order I;ve heard being shipped. At this rate I'm not gonna get it on time which sucks because I've been resisting downloading the leak so I could appreciate when it arrived for me.

[Sophii3x]

Ohh right. maybe they're doing it country by country.. bet they got thousands upon thousand of orders though that shouldn't be an excuse! Oh no, think you mis-understood.. I've not got the fan edition, just the deluxe one from HMV.com (sorry if I confused you)!

[MrGaryy]

oh I see. thank god that's calmed me down a bit haha, I would be freaking out if other European's fan edition had been shipped and mine still hadnt.

[xDramatick]

Now we have the deluxe edition &I've heard all the tracks a good couple of times, this is my new ranking:

1. You Lost Me
2. Birds Of Prey
3. I Am
4. Glam
5. Bionic
6. Stronger Than Ever
7. Prima Donna
8. All I Need
9. Sex For Breakfast
10. Vanity
11. Not Myself Tonight

16. Bobblehead
17. Elastic Love
18. I Am (Stripped)

20. I Hate Boys
21. My Girls (feat. Peaches)
22. Love & Glamour (Intro)
23. My Heart (Intro)
24. Morning Dessert (Intro)

[Vladimir]

i loved the performance at mtv movie awards, i just can't believe that 'woohoo' is the second single. it's the worst track on the album, ffs.

[xDramatick]

I still don't believe that it is..
I reckon it's a buzz single (like Rihanna's 'Wait Your Turn') and even though she's shooting a video for it... I still think that 'You Lost Me' will be the second single. She almost always releases a ballad second.

http://www.mrworldpremiere.net/2010/06/christina-aguilera-bionicnot-myself.html
link for the performance.

[Smithy]

She's got an interview on GMTV tomorrow if anyone was interested :P

[MrGaryy]

Wait Your Turn was an official single, the US, iirc. it just sort of flopped so they brushed over it and rush released Hard.

[Barbie]

Ive heard my heart isn't it just her child for about 10 seconds?

[CaraRawr]

Going to order Bionic when I next have money.

[Sophii3x]

Has yours been shipped yet, Gary?

Had the album since Friday and I haven't stopped playing it since! I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it is brilliant. My stand out favourites are You Lost Me, Prima Donna, Bionic and Desnudate. Sex For Breakfast probs dissapointed me the most.. my god with that title it should be amazing but it's just kind of bland.

[Princess]

Gonna see if Tesco has the deluxe of this tomorrow,or else I'll have to wait till when I go into town. I was meant to go on Friday but I was sick. Want the album nowww.

[xDramatick]

Sex For Breakfast is a total grower - I thought it was bland at first but it's really grown on me, I love it now.

[MrGaryy]

Has yours been shipped yet, Gary?

Had the album since Friday and I haven't stopped playing it since! I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it is brilliant. My stand out favourites are You Lost Me, Prima Donna, Bionic and Desnudate. Sex For Breakfast probs dissapointed me the most.. my god with that title it should be amazing but it's just kind of bland.

yup!! it's in Germany atm, should be here June 9th! can't ****ing wait.

aww LOL Sex For Breakfast, all the stans hate it sfm.

[MrGaryy]

hey guys, it arrived today, it's soooo great! There's really nice pictures in the vinyls and qt like stickers and stuff, it's really cool. Only thing that's a little disappointing is that the deluxe edition of that album included doesn't have the booklet, so I'm gonna buy myself another copy of the album so I can have it, plus that way I can keep the whole fan edition together and display the other copy with my other CDs :P :P

Still listening to the album, on first listen I LOVE Elastic Love but I've enjoyed every track tbh.

[Sophii3x]

Yay, glad you've got it now Gary! Is everything in like good quality? Shame you didn't have the booklet though, is it just unlucky or did the fan edition just not include it?

[MrGaryy]

from what I've heard, some people's fan edition's just didn't include it, others did :/ yeah everything was pretty good, slight little dent in the corner of the box but I can't complain haha. Although the text waking em up at 8am from the delivery guy wanting directions I could have done without LOL.

Listened to the whole album about twice now, I'll do a proper review later but some quick notes

- Glam is very underwhelming thank GOD it wasnt lead single
- I looovvveee Monday Morning <3
- Sex For Breakfast is underrated
- You Lost Me is stunning, one of her best ever ballads. I think I rate it above Hurt.
- Using Max on Vanity is so cute haha

[Princess]

Finally got the album today,had to trek around town to find the deluxe one,HMV didn't have it! Only on the first listen but LOVE I Am and You Lost Me. Max is SO cute at the end of Vanity.

[MrGaryy]

should let y'all know - the album's opening week are her lowest ever :(

[Vladimir]

The week’s other big debut is RCA/RMG diva Christina Aguilera’s techno-heavy Bionic, just her fourth studio album since her self-titled 1999 bow, and expected to do between 120-125k. Her previous studio album, Back to Basics, came out in August 2006, selling 350k in its first week. A greatest hits album was released in Nov. 2008, debuting with 73k in sales.

oh, this isn't right. the album deserves a lot more.
