Aguilera flops

There are divas tanking all over- Pink's album is a big disappointment as well. The kids can't get enough Taylor Swift, sadly.

I am a HUGE Pink fan and this album wasn't up to par. It was too electronica and seemed over produced. She quit smoking and regained her upper register and I don't like it. lol Some songs resonated with me, but other were flat. Her stuff has always been so autobiographical, I guess I was expecting more maturity in her writing. With the exception of Beam Me Up and Great Escape, they were mostly more, "my man is an ass," or, "I just want to party like a fool," stuff. I don't know what I was hoping for, but I didn't dig it as a whole.

I have said it OVER and OVER again. She is an incredible talent…who should NOT be in full control of her career like she is. If she's smart she'll release that duet with Blake Shelton thats flying up the charts with no promotion.

I've seen her do a lot of interviews but no performances on shows. Maybe once The Voice wraps she can promote more. I know a guy who works on production at The Voice and they are pretty tied down to the LA area.

Sadly, the diva's are tanking and it comes and goes like that.

Okay: Christina Aguilera is by far the voice of our generation. With a voice like that, it's interesting to see how many of her songs are sexed-uped dance tracks and soft Sia-penned ballads. Is "Lotus" better than "Bionic?" I really liked "Bionic," and I only care for a new of the new tracks. (Side note: If Xtina released "Glam" as a single and added Pitbull on to "Desnudate," "Bionic" could have been really big!)

I think that instead of "Your Body," she should have pushed "Make The World Move" or "Let There Be Love" as a first single, with "Army Of Me" as a second single and "Just A Fool" shortly after the start of the new year. I think "Your Body" is a hot album track, but not a proper single. I also "Red Hot Kinda Love," "Light Up The Sky," "Around The World," and "Blank Page." "Circles" really harkens back to "Stripped," which I really appreciated. I also don't get how she compares "Fighter" to "Army Of Me" - the message is the same, but the songs are so different.

I know she is performing at the American Music Awards, but she really needed to get her name out there more as a solo artist and not as a reality television judge. She should have sung at the Whitney Houston tribute - her voice could match Whitney's powerhouse vocals (maybe not the nuances). I think she needs a makeover - it's fine if hse lost weight, but she needs to dress well and wear less make-up. She needs to stop with the fan, tiaras, and other crazy sh!t - she's not Lady Gaga. She tries so hard to as outrageous as Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry, but if she kept it classy and exciting like Kelly Clarskon and Beyonce, she'd have a better chance.

I love Christina and think she is an incredible talent, but she needs someone to take more control of her career. I know the past few years have been rough (see: Bionic, Burlesque, a divorce, award snubs, waking up hung over at Jeremy Renner's house after the Golden Globes, some trashy outfits, unflattering hairdo's, fumbling the National Anthem, tripping at the Grammy Awards, and so on), but she can do it. She is a fighter, after all!

I, actually, really like this album. It's more in the vain of "Stripped" (which is my favorite album of hers) than her others. I just really wish she would stop screaming and doing runs every two seconds when she performs live. "Blank Page" is my favorite track on the album and should def. be a single, along with "Just A Fool."

You can't deny the girl has talent. But she has more ego than talent these days. And no, psychotic fanbase of hers, she hasn't earned that right to be an egocentric jackass. Have a certain level of humility for christsake.

While it's true than not every strong woman is a bitch, not every bitch is a strong woman.

I find P!nk and even Madonna to be far more genuine and relatable than Christina.

LOTUS is not a bad album. I am still trying to take it all in. The fact is that Christina has always had trouble releasing material that is up to par with her talent. STRIPPED came the closest, and even that album was criticized by some for being "all over the place." It's quite a shame that she just can't have a hit nowadays. I honestly thought that "Your Body" would take off.

"Taylor Swift is like the herpes of pop music."

One comes along each generation. Someone has to be the antidote to LaGaga. I'll likely never buy any of her music in this lifetime but the Taylor Swift brand pushes a helluva lot of product. Many parents consider her a safe alternative to much of what else is out there.

"Christina Aguilera and Lana Del Rey both released collections of new music this week. Neither artist is a great diva in the neo-classic, pop sense of the word, but both have potential. To evaluate their diva status, I will shamelessly crib a comparative schism that Tyra Banks has routinely used on America's Next Top Model: each of them has what the other does not."
Where Have All the Divas Gone?

I also lOVE Pink's new album! And her video for "Try" is so, so good. She can do anything. Haven't listened to Christina's yet, but I guess will get around to it eventually.

RCA confirmed 'Just A Fool' as the second single.

'Make The World Move' would have been a massive flop.

thoroughly enjoyed Pink's new album. "Blow Me" is the basic Pink standard, but her duet with Nate Ruess(from fun.) for "Just Give Me A Reason" is, IMO, her best collaboration. "Try" is also pretty damn good as well, and her video(w/Broadway's Colt Prattes) is AMAZING!!
