The music is great, but things like this is why it's so hard to like her:

IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU!
You see I was thinking of getting the album today until I watched this

I agree.

I bought it this morning. But why is there a parental advisory sticker when all the curse words are censored????

Enjoy it so far.

Great.

What are your favorites? I haven't listened to it in full yet. What I've heard so far is good so maybe I'm going to buy it.

Well the second half of the album is the better half in my opinion. It is more rock/country/ballady if that makes sense. I love Cease Fire. I think it is my favourite on there.

The first half is more dance and pop. Army of Me is good. But the second half makes the album. I am not familiar with the song titles yet though. Just gave it 1 listen so far so when I know it more I will post them. But impressed especially after the lead single which yet again from a big artist is misleading of how good the album is.

Some new gems from a new interview:

Bionic
"Bionic” wasn’t this commercially acceptable, packaged-up, proper thing. But it was an experimental, beautiful piece of work that will live on in time and make its mark later on in its life. It was very artistic."

How Maroon 5 didn't have that type of success until Moves Like Jagger...
Still, Aguilera and Levine did manage to play 'nice’ long enough to record Moves Like Jagger together. Their collaboration was the second biggest-selling single in Britain last year. And the song nicely rebooted Maroon 5’s career.

'I don’t think they’ve experienced that kind of success before [Moves Like Jagger],’ she says, pointedly.

Burlesque
She also refuses to see Burlesque – the tale of a small-town girl pursuing her dreams of a life on the stage (taking her clothes off) – as a bit of silly fluff.

Rather, Aguilera talks of drawing on the pain of her own difficult upbringing to play a character who had lost her mother in childhood.

'It’s probably not something you have to do,’ she says of her method. 'But I try to make things as real and honest as possible.

She's so full of herself. Lauhing

I effing love this album. If someone told me I would be listening to this and loving this more than the Pink album or No Doubt album I would have laughed at them. Glad to have her back to this quality of music. Finally a big artist that delivered this year alongside Taylor Swift IMO.

by **Gabe** Wed Nov 14, 2012 12:47 pm

I agree! She really delivered this time around. She needed it after the mess Bionic was. Hopefully with the right single choices it will sell better.

Great.

Now that you're back in track again Christina go and promote your ass off, hit the gym and hire that make-up artist again.
