Earlier this year, Christina Aguilera was teetering desperately close to has-been status. She flubbed the words to the national anthem. She was taken into custody for public intoxication. Her big screen debut opposite Cher was mocked by critics and audiences alike. And let’s not forget the debacle that was Bionic, a poorly-organized jumble of songs like “Glam,” “I Hate Boys,” and “Prima Donna” that sounded like they were co-penned by a middle school mean girl and a drag queen. But now, thanks to her coaching stint on The Voice, the royally desirable songstress’ public image is enjoying a comeback — meaning a new album is in the works, too! Find out the latest info below.
The Jagger-like mover spoke to Croatia’s RTL Televizija with some news on her plans for her next studio release. The good news? “It’s going to be a very heartfelt, deep-rooted, and introspective record for me. We’re hoping for release in spring/summer next year,” Aguilera stated. (What? “Vanity” wasn’t heartfelt enough for you?) The bad news? Well, that spring/summer 2012 release date feels awfully far away.
It’s pretty typical for an artist who puts out a poorly-received flop of a studio album to promise that the next one will go in the exact opposite direction, so no surprises there. With The Voice set to return in the fall, can we assume she will use the show’s success a launching pad for her comeback, a la J-Lo on American Idol? Quite likely.
If Xtina’s looking for lyrics more introspective”than those gems from, say, “Sex For Breakfast” (“When the morning comes, I know that I will, too”) or “Bobblehead” (“Like, whaaat? I don’t get it!”) — well, she shouldn’t have a problem. They kind of have to be — Bionic contains just about the least introspective lyrics of all time.
This is a blog that supports so hard to those kind of “artists” well… “artists”, I would say products doing trash lyrics and trash music and you are trying to give advices on how to make good music. Please… NEXT this troll blog.
Thanks for the laugh. Especially this line “And let’s not forget the debacle that was Bionic, a poorly-organized jumble of songs like “Glam,” “I Hate Boys,” and “Prima Donna” that sounded like they were co-penned by a middle school mean girl and a drag queen.” Have you listened to Rihanna, Beyonce, Ke$ha, even Brittany lately; ah it’s pretty much the same drivel and could have easily been penned by at middle school mean girl. “Sticks and Stones my Break my bones but chains and wips excite me.” yea it’s a nursery rhyme, nothing deep there. I’m sure the Christina hater Becky Bain wrote this article, although you attribute it to the Idolator staff, I’m not buying it.
Amen to M post.
You will NEVER understand the concept of Bionic. Keep on being fooled by Not Madonna’s est copycat or capital G-A-G-A’s delusional & absurd music. FU!
Still waiting for Gaga’s 100 Failtastic lyrics… I think you’re too much of a coward for delusional monsters to attack you. Tsk tsk tsk!
people like christina to do a serious music, rihana and katy etc are not that serious artists, christina supposed to do tv and movie to make people know her personality much , she is a type of artist that need to have talant and story, the problem with her that she wants to be like madonna and britney which will never fit her, she need to be her self to achive success not others. she need to put good music only and catchy music that people really enjoy from her like “genie “
WOW>GO Xtina!!!
Right. Earlier it was clear who had been writing articles – Becky Bain or Robbie Daw…now they are afraid of some fans here)))) ahahahaa)))
You – Idolator guys – in many articles write a lot of ridiculous context to artists like Christina, Britney or Beyonce…and you show that you prefer Gaga or somebody else. I think it’s wrong for a journalist showing its preferences.
You’d better check out your journalistic musical reviews.
“Nasty” and “La Casa”> BRILLIANT!!!
Christina Aguilera’s goal acdg to interviews is that she wants to be remembered as a great vocalist not only in pop music but in different genres in which by the way Idolhater, had crossed already so many.
Bionic is a good example to that. How she puts control on songs like Elastic Love, Little Dreamer, Birds Of Prey, & many more. Please read the articles on Linda Perry talking about the said album before it was released. She is not afraid & doesn’t give a s**t on your poorly judged or over anaylzed rants. Don’t expect on every album to be Stripped – that’s so immature of you!
OMG, ANOTHER ENVIOUS TRYING TO BRING XTINA DOWN, BUT U WON´T . BIONIC WAS NOT HER BEST ALBUM BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD.. KEEP ON BUYNG STUPID LADY GAGA´S SONGS WHICH HAVE NO MEANING WHILE I LISTEN TO THE BEST VOICE OF OUR GENERATION: CHRISTINA AGUILERA !
Why you so mad? Bionic was a great album, a fun album not mean’t to be taken seriously.
I don’t think this blog was made by journalists because it’s so unprofessional. It looks like it’s made by Lady Gaga’s inmature fans, this site really sucks.
Lady Gaga’s songs are absurd.
Christina has been? hahah. yeah right.
goo xtina
you are amazing dont matter what they said
keeps getting better since bionic ;)
lets hope for a good hit album
Prima Donna in my opinion, was a good song. I feel like it was empowering. Lift Me Up was a beautiful song, and should have been released instead of You Lost Me, as I found that ballad boring. I Am was a beautiful song as well. Stronger Than Ever was a song that sounded like it belonged on Stripped, and was very Christina in my opinion. Perhaps when looking as the album at a whole you could say it wasn’t “heartfelt” but there are definitely numerous gems that stand out on the album.
actually i don’t think a website like you should take such a negative attitude towards a singer…right? just a little piece of advice~
This writer is funny.She is no Has Been you idiot.Christina has been down but she is a figher just like every celeb who goes through stuff she will be even bettter.Geez I guess you didn’t see how Burlesque is again on top 200 billboard and climbing up The movie is just as good and just because people like you who pan stuff withthout listening to Christina Aguilera’s stuff or movies people don’t go see. Later on regret.Burlesque will be all time classical musical as people are starting to see how good it was with Christina Aguilera and Cher. Boy Christina Aguilera brought all her heart into the numbers she sings and dances with so much power and soul. If you had heard Bionic in full not all the songs that people bashed without hearing it like I am, Lift Me up, and Birds of Prey are some examples on how Christina’s vocals are one of kind special with soul and passion she shows on her songs. It’s people like you that make me kinda sad how music is right now they take artist like Christina Aguilera as a joke or make fun her. She is not joke she is making noise with her different generes of music that she can pull and how she can have fun but also when she wants to can bring like it no other artist with so much soul and passion into a song when need to be. Just watch she will be legend because she has the voice and is the voice of my generation. Christina Aguilera keep being a figher. Love this song by Christina Aguilera that she sang for the spirit movie Fallin In Love Again oh and that’s not her typical sound as she loves to have fun with her voice. Christina can’t wait for your album which will be soulful,passion and heartfelt! Girl know you can bring since your voice is amazeballs!
Shame to see another media outlet talk about Christina Aguilera so negative.She is not desperate by any means you ignorant fool. Christina Aguilera is so underrated! Blows my mind that people can adore other artist who can’t belt out or sing live like she can yet she gets bullcrap !.Christina has the power to always give me chills every time she sings a ballad she is one of a kind and I m glad she is part of my generation. I loved Bionic and look forward to her next album.
Lady GaGa’s face is absurd…oh, and fu**ing UGLY as an orangutan’s ass!
BIONIC WAS GREAT!!!! SCREW ALL THE HATERS CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS THE BEST IN THE BIZ SHE NEEDS MORE CREDIT THAN WHAT SHE GETS!!!!
THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE SINCE YOU HAVE AS MUCH TALENT AS CHRISTINA LOL NOT!!!
FREAKIN LOSERS
Do lots more albums Christina. I love you and your amazing voice. I have all of your CDs, they are all amazing whatever critics. RELEASE YOUR NEW ONE AND GO ON A BIONIC TOUR!!! :)
I love anything christina does. She released this album as something different, One of the things I admire about her is she always tries to do something different. She has an exceptional voice and could sound good singing anything. This album was upbeat and more party like anthems… I love Prima Donna makes me just wanna get up and dance.
i think christina is doin great for herself i loved burlesque i loved sum of her songs on bionic she is one of the reasons i watched the voice she is soo very talented and she doesn’t stomp around and do all the stuff ladygaga does which lady gaga is just ridiciolus christina is being who she wants to be and not what ppl expect her to be so leave her alone she is such an inspiration
I loved Bionic. She is a sexy woman and wants to express it, so let her. I’ll admit some songs are kinda different, but she makes amazing baby making music! Her voice is unique and beautiful, just like she is. You can distinguish her from everyone else and that’s what makes a real musician.
Bionic was only meant to have 12 songs and thats all NOT 23….One of her production teams called LADYTRON stated in an interview on British TV in April 2011 that RCA Christina’s record label RUINED that album by forcing her to add GENERIC pop music to it as to compete with Katy Perry Gaga & Rihanna.
The original 12 song track listing of Bionic is as follows according to LADYTRON..
1. Bionic
2. Elastic Love
3. Birds Of Prey
4. Monday Morning
5. Woohoo (Feat Nicki Minaj)
6. My Girls (Feat Peaches)
7. Stronger (Than Ever)
8. You Lost Me
9. Lift Me Up
10. All I Need
11. I Am
12. Little Dreamer
if only her label RCA had of left it alone BIONIC would of been MASSIVE!!!!!!!!
you know, you can be a preformer and give everyone what the want or expect *cough*britney*cough* or you can take risks in your music and whether or not its a success you grow as an artist. you arent truly an artist until you do something for you, something no one else has to understand. and screw you, bobblehead was funny!!!!
who ever wrote this article is a middle school mean girl or a drag queen lady gaga fan who has no talent at all.. Bi-On-Ic was not meant to be deep and emotional– it’s a fun & sexy album. it’s one of xtina’s best, my fave next to stripped. if it hasn’t been for the persistent haters like you, Bi-On-Ic should had been a hit. the lyrics for i hate boys, prima donna, and glam made more sense than lady gaga’s first album. xtina wasn’t even close to being a has been. she got casted to judge ‘the voice’ (highest paid on the show), she got paid million of dollars for singing a few songs in different private parties, she got her hollywood walk of fame, she was asked to give tribute to legends like aretha & mj, etc. among all the artists that we have today, xtina is definitely one of the queen in the biz. so keep on hatin coz she’s here to stay! lookin forward for her new album..
Bottom line Christina’s Albums are Great!!! All Of Them… “Bionic” is Great, Festive and Amazing and “Burlesque Sound Track” too. All the haters can say whatever but the truth is, she’s real and the Best, even if you like it or not, shes the Queen of originality and honesty. Her album reflect society and acceptance, “Stripped” comes from the Heart, is a masterpiece, praised by critics. “Back to Basics” is Wonderful and enjoyable in many ways. the album “Christina Aguilera” and “My Kind of Christmas” are beautiful and Innocent. The Spanish album “Mi Reflejo” one of a kind, no other United States artist can ever make. sooo…. UNDERSTAND her music, where it comes from, the Sentiment, the Feeling, the Voice, Not Commercial just from the Heart. stop the hate, make Love, peace.
Totally agree. These writers probably haven’t even listened to the album.
ok, she NEEDS to do an album like Back to Basics, her BEST album ever, and for me one of the best album ever. She has the voice for this type of music like in Burlesque, bot the voice for pop trashy electronic music. PLEASE XTINE PLEASE:( DO MORE RETRO MUSIC :(
wow! the original track listing is way much better. i wonder what could have happened if it was pushed.
I thought the album BIONIC was very cool and up beat. Really techno- rock goddess meets sex-o-bot…
Don’t F*@^k with Britney Bitch!
Don’t F*@^k with Britney Bitch! cough!
Yes, Christina Aguilera is underestimated. BIONIC was just Phenomenal and I feel Xtina needs to launch her BIONIC tour. Other than Femme Fatale, I would love to see this Tour Sonic Boom across the human race…..it has that much potential.
I THINK ITS FUNNY HOW PPL CAN MAKE FUN OF CHRISTINA THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE IS BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE WHAT SHE HAS THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS MAKE FUN OF HER YUP THATS ALL YOU CAN DO IS THROW SOME WORDS AROUD BUT IT WONT MATTER SHE MAKES A HOLE HELL OF ALOT MORE MONEY SO KEEP MAKIN FUN BC IT WONT MATTER TO HER SHE HAS WHAT SHE NEEDS SHE ADORES HER FANS AND HER FANS LOVE HER SO KEEP MAKING FUN OF HER BC SHE IS SETTING BACK LAUGHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME AND YES I AM PULLIN A CHRIS CROCKER “LEAVE CHRISTINA ALONE!” LOL JK LOVE YOU XTINA MUAH!
Lol at reading this article after Burlesque won a Golden Globe for song and CHRISTINA alone was nominated for a Grammy for Best Soundtrack this year. And Burlesque made back it’s money and then some.
And to say Bionic has the least introspective lyrics of all time is laughable.
