Official Christina Aguilera Thread ['You Lost Me' video released!]

[MrGaryy]

it's expected to debut at #3.

However not wanting to be negative on what is this thread's 1000th post, I'm optimistic it could pull #2 as she has lots of great promo lined up, she did a fabulous performance on David Letterman last night and also has Live with Regis and Kelly, The Early Show, VH1 Storytellers and VH1 Behind The Music all lined up, with rumours she'll perform at the Teen Choice Awards!

[Callum]

Who will be in front of her? Eclipse or Glee?

[MrGaryy]

both, which is ridiculous really considering that Eclipse is a compilation therefore has fans of all artists featured PLUS twihards who will buy it anyway purchasing it. It really shouldn't be eligible to chart.

EPIC!

I agree, I do enjoy the Twilight soundtracks but I think that compilations should have their seperate chart instead of charting on the Top 200.

I really thought Bionic would go #1 worldwide after the disappointing chart positions of NMT. Fingers crossed it can get the UK number one on Sunday.

[MrGaryy]

well it's peaked at #1 on like 9 iTunes chart worldwide and is pretty much guaranteed UK #1 this week so it's not all bad. besides I think the album will have a lot of longevity on the charts.

[MrGaryy]

http://dai.ly/9eYOkn

EPIC!

she's always so great on Letterman, her voice sounds it's best at night I think. Fantastic performance.

I think this could be my favourite NMT performance yet, she sounds great and looks really happy!

I'm falling in love with 'You Lost Me' more and more every day and it's even more incredible live :lovedup:

Yay for #1 in the UK midweeks, shame about the US though.. though #3 is really good, right?

[MrGaryy]

Not really Sophie, not for Christina. Plus it isn't even a strong #3, the actual sales numbers are extremely low. Back To Basics sold precisely double the amount Bionic has in it;s first week.

[Callum]

Do you think it would have gone #1 if it had been released any other week or has her popularity declined to not even guarantee the #1 position on a quiet week?

[MrGaryy]

It's not totally to do with her popularity it's just terrible marketing. She did TWO promo slots before the album was released - Oprah, performing a song that was already a flop at that stage and American Idol, performing a song nobody knew. And that was it, no word what so ever about the album until the week of it's release where she's done loads of promo - performing old songs like Fighter.

You just can't go away for four years, come back with a poorly promoted single and hope your fans will carry you.

[Callum]

Very true. I was sad to learn that she had cancelled all her UK promo and in all honestly I'm surprised that she's managed to hold on to the #1 spot in the album midweeks, just shows she has a strong British fanbase because I've only seen her in a pre recorded segment on GMTV few weeks back and the video for NMT on the music channels, didn't see it that much actually, but apart from that I've not seen an album advert or anything.

Hope she can cling on though because latest I heard was Alicia Keys had overtook Glee for the #2 spot and was closing in on Christina.

[MrGaryy]

She didn't cancel her UK promo - she had nothing planned to begin with. She has 100% ignored Europe, which is ridiculous considering it's where she's doing best.

I think she'll be fine because she'll have strong physical sales.

[Callum]

Oh I wasn't aware of that. That is a shame because I think some promotion might have pushed NMT back up the charts a bit and provided the album with some more sales. Is NMT her first single from a new album which hasn't gone top 10 in the UK and USA?

[MrGaryy]

no, Dirrty was a complete flop in the US, only peaked at #48. Stripped only salvaged itself by rush releasing Beautiful before it's release.

I think with promo NMT could have been a hit here. It was doing well on the charts and then she just sort of gave up on it, everywhere.

[xDramatick]

The sales may not be great but eh, I'm glad she's heading for a top #3. I dread to think of what GaGa/Brit stans would be saying had she charted less than that.

Yay for UK #1 though, I really hope she does <3

[xDramatick]

Bionic got the UK #1!
I'm so happy for her! She really deserves it!

[Sophii3x]

Yayy, that Bionic's the UK #1 album!! Congrats to her, it really is a good album! :)

[MrGaryy]

great news in - she COULD pull #2. Glee's sales have gone waaaaayyyyy down, so unless they get a new burst of life she could manage a #2. Granted with poor sales but still that's so much more than I was expecting at this stage.

[xDramatick]

She hit #3 didn't she?!
I still think the album's a slow burner.

She recently spoke out about GaGa & Britney:
Interview here (http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Ff-tVuUSwR0/)

skip to 04:00 if you don't wanna hear it all.

Interviewer: "We're reading all this rubbish about the rivalry between you and the GaGa thing, we don't believe it, do you want to put a lid on that?"
Christina: "No rivalry, with anyone. I welcome newcomers and I wish her all the best. I think it's great that she's going out there and doing what she's doing so yeah, welcome all newcomers. It's been great watching everyone come up actually over the, oh gosh, now I feel old... the last decade"

Interviewer: "There's been a few stayers amongst you, I mean you, Britney and Justin. You came from the Mickey Mouse club... do you ever run into them anymore? I mean I don't know if you and Britney were..."
Christina: "I don't see them very often. I see Justin occassionally but you know we don't really.. we're not that close to be calling each other all the time like that but you know I when I do see him we're comfortable..."

Interviewer: "You & Britney were both huge at the same time, so young.."
Christina: "Oh we were best friends on the Mickey Mouse Club, we had history together so it was really cool actually that we were and so ironic that we were released at the same time"

Interviewer: "What did you think when she went through that weird phase? Did you feel like you should ring her"
Christina: "I did actually. I wrote her a letter and we sort of went back and forth but you know, no judgement ever on anyone. Everybody has their own stuff going on, yeah."

she's so amazing, i love her <3

[Smithy]

She hit #3 didn't she?!


Christina Aguilera's new LP Bionic has debuted at number three on the US album chart.

The record, her first in four years, was beaten to the top spot by Glee's latest soundtrack Journey To Regionals, with the new Twilight soundtrack landing in second place.

Bionic opened to sales of 110,000, compared to Glee's 152,000. Aguilera's previous LP Back To Basics sold 346,000 in its opening week.

Last week, Aguilera's record entered the UK album chart at number one with sales of 24,000, making it the lowest-selling UK number one album in chart history



So ya

[MrGaryy]

pmsl, she also mentioned Ricky in the interview and was blatantly throwing shade at him. so fierce <3

[Billy]

I ADORE LITTLE DREAMER <3
Potentially my favourite Xtina song ever.

[xDramatick]

I ADORE LITTLE DREAMER <3
Potentially my favourite Xtina song ever.

It's fantastic.
Produced by Ladytron, though it doesn't really sound like them [you can TOTALLY tell they produced 'Birds Of Prey' however].

'You Lost Me' is the second single, thankfully.
The official site has referred to it several times as the next single, and recently asked fans what their 'favourite performance of the next single, 'You Lost Me' was.

I'm quite glad.
Admittedly, she needs a summer-uptempo hit, so I think she should released it alongside something like Prima Donna or WooHoo [like Beyonce/Rihanna's done] but I think it'll help remind people who Christina is [considering she's better known for her voice/big ballads] & it'll stand out amongst all the electro-pop uptempo tunes.

[Stacey.]

i'm listening to her right now :)

[xDramatick]

i'm listening to her right now :)

oooh what song?

oooh what song?

Ain't No Other Man

<3

It feels like I haven't listened to Back To Basics in AGES.
I've been playing Bionic practically non-stop, and I've started playing Stripped again.

Nasty Naughty Boy, Save Me From Myself, Mercy On Me, Hurt, Understand, Oh Mother, Still Dirrty <3

[CaraRawr]

I was this close to grabbing Bionic in this record store I was in yesterday but I was like a fiver short, FML. D:

[M X]

Got Bionic physical copy yesterday from Tesco. :D

According to people on the official forum, it's not confirmed as second single YET and that the site referring to it as that was just a blooper.

Apparently she may be performing WooHoo at the BET Awards. So I'm thinking double single?

[Smithy]

Bionic dropped to number 28 :s

Apparently thats a record

[Sophii3x]

^Omg :|

[xDramatick]

wtf?! :|

[Callum]

Such a big drop :(

I still need to get this album, I might not add the intro tracks though. Are they worth keeping?

[MrGaryy]

29 actually. and yeah thats a record for the biggest ever drop from #1 in UK history.

You Lost Me radio remix is out. its quite different from the album version, kinda takes from the rawness of the song in my opinion but its more radio friendly.

[xDramatick]

Such a big drop :(

I still need to get this album, I might not add the intro tracks though. Are they worth keeping?

Definitely, they may only be short but they're a nice set-up for the tracks that follow if you listen to the album all the way through. Sorta ties it together.

The album is amazing, seriously, you need to get it.

I'm not too keen on the single version of YLM. It's too overproduced. Much prefer the album version, but a different version might save the era so I'm okay with it.

[MrGaryy]

according to a VERY reliable insider, we're getting a double single. You Lost Me in the US and I Hate Boys internationally.

this same insider told us about the Greatest Hits, KGB VMAs performance and Not Myself Tonight lyrics before they were released.

[ILoveTRW]

lol glee beat her to number 1
the shame

[xDramatick]

ROTFL.

[Shaun]

lol glee beat her to number 1
the shame

to be honest if the Beatles were suddenly resurrected, John Lennon wore a skimpy two-piece and Ringo hosted Saturday Night Live they'd still lose out to Glee.

Such a disparagingly large number of ****ing morons.

The Video Premiered a day early, I think it was a mistake by MTV

It's on Vevo but you'll have to use a proxy if you want to watch it

[MrGaryy]

I really love the video. I can see the influence of the Jay-Z commercial Anthony Mandler shot that she's been talking about in interviews.

the gold smoking gun <3

[LaLaLand]

So powerful! I think this is one of if not her best ballad yet. Beautiful song off a fantastic album.

Burlesque looks hot!! :)

Has YLM been released/flopped?
Someone catch me up, I've only just got my laptop back.

[Vladimir]

It's not doing well in the USA, as it peaked at no. 119. It will be released in the UK in September.

[xDramatick]

so she's seperating from Jordan :(
but is confimed to be performing on The X-Factor

[Callum]

That's sad but where does it say she will? :shocked:

[Smithy]

^t'was on Radio 1 earlier

kinda obvious when they played You Lost Me at the judges houses :p

[Callum]

Looking forward to that, hope she performs something from Burlesque not from Bionic. Although Bionic is an amazing album, I hope she moves on from that era now.

Bionic could've been so much better than Stripped had she used the bonus tracks on the standard, instead of, say, 'Glam', 'Vanity' and 'Sex for Breakfast'
