Christina ditches Bionic in favor of Burlesque?


For weeks now, the only glimpse of Christina Aguilera that we’ve been given have been of the diva stalking around L.A. and car dealerships with her family in tow. If you’ve been wondering why she hasn’t been promoting her struggling album Bionic, then you’re probably not alone. Now, some new comments from Ticketmaster CEO/Live Nation chairman Irving Azoff (who was originally scheduled to promote the scrapped Bionic world tour) has indicated that the Bionic-era may be completely kaput, with Aggie now putting all her energy into her upcoming feature film debut Burlesque.

“Please be patient. You will see Christina everywhere as soon as movie promo starts. She is working non-stop finishing music for the movie”. [Via Toyaz-World]

At this point, Aguilera is lucky that she has another project to fall back on in the wake of the Bionic fiasco. Not only has her latest single “You Lost Me” completely failed to chart, but the album itself has only pushed about 250,000 copies in the US since it’s June release.

With the media against her, Aguilera has two options: She can either put herself out there and fend off questions about her poor sales and tired comparisons to Lady GaGa, or she can lay low until things die down, pray the Burlesque is a hit with critics & the general public, and hope that Cher’s position as one of the most-loved entertainers in the industry rubs off on her.

Basically, Burlesque could actually save Christina’s career – or end it for good.

    Movie probably will flop, and I don’t think some sappy ballad from the soundtrack will save her on the charts. Better luck with you next album in another 7 years BB

  • can’tthinkofone

    I hate how ppl act like an artist is over these days after ONE album flops. Xtina is EXTEMELY talented and her voice is needed at this low point in music. why should her career end while you have talentless ppl like Kesha, Rihanna, and Soulja Boy still floating around? I’ve never really been a fan but I’m definitely rooting for her. I hope she performs “you lost me” at the VMAs.

  • hahaha

    @sundee i just looked the yahoo cause many xtina stans are delusional!

  • hahaha

    @roger theres a lot of xtina photos from her dirrtyyyy days that shes going out like shes a whore check them out!

  • SunDee

    @hahaha many stans are delusional (not only xtina’s). but until now i don’t see anyone brought Burlesque was the top notch movie. So why you must brought that yahoo info?

    & oh yeah… although i’m fan of her. I didn’t her look from Stripped era. coz in some of em, she looks like drag queen. lol (i still love her bubblegum image from her debut)

    btw, beware of what you diggin’ @hahaha, coz you might ended up making Xtina as a your guilty pleasure. ;)

  • SunDee

    anyway.. you should also check her performance at MMC. I was kinda shocked when i saw it… she already has the voice back then. (MMC – I’m Not Over You… or Another Sad Love Song).

  • hahaha

    @sundee u should thank me atleast im checking your idol atleast i contributed little attention to her seems like no one cares about her LMAO!

    no thanks i never like xtina eversince shes a bitch, insecure, most copycat and wannabe gaga!

  • meli

    The movie isn’t going to do anything and will be overshadowed by other movies coming out (Tangled, Harry Potter…) Her poor fans expect Golden Globe nominations, which is the saddest part. Her career as a pop star has been over since Stripped. Everyone just realizes it now. She should pull a Celine and do Vegas in all honesty.

  • Bryant

    I’m still laughing that her record company printed “Floptina” in her deluxe cd booklet lol even her label knows whats up

  • Corey

    why are people being so harsh on her? i can’t believe how people want to see a genuinely talented person fail? do you honestly think that because this album hasn’t been a hit, her career is gonna totally end and she’ll just retire or something? it seems like hating on xtina is the cool thing to do in 2010. smh.

  • Nono

    I like christina she can really singish
    but i dont see the movie helping her i bought bionic and its okay but i mean when the album starter flopping she should have did the smart thing.. i.e. do what Mariah did and use whoohoo with Nicki Minaj hello that could really help her commercially.. && as much as i hate to say im probably going to see the movie just because. But she should probably even though she had a whole lot of tracks re-relase the album but then she might get hooked like my faves Beyonce && Rihanna.. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE :)

  • SunDee

    @hahaha

    “no thanks i never like xtina eversince shes a bitch, insecure, most copycat and wannabe gaga!”

    you digging her dirt, so i wont say Thank You ;P
    sorry, but you idol (Gaga) isn’t that original, & you must admitted it. She copy many artist & you haven’t complained about it. Right?

    People HATE Xtina because she has opinion.
    But ironically so are you…
    then would you hate yourself?

    (I’m waiting your answer on that)

  • hahaha

    @sundee did i say gaga is original??? NO! since christina came out SEPTEMBER 2008 on VMA she is LOOK LIKE GAGA and GAGA came OUT MAY 2008 thats why PEOPLE WERE VERY SHOCKED BECAUSE CHRISTINA REALLY LOOKS LIKE GAGA! and christinas NMT RIPPED OFF FROM GAGA BAD ROMANCE and thats the FACT! u just cant admit it!

    People HATE Xtina because she has opinion.
    But ironically so are you…
    then would you hate yourself?

    - how bout you? u never typed hates comments to your none faves celebrity? dont tell me NO cause ur just lying! anyway i dont care cause this isnt even FAN SITE!

    ASHANTI- CONCRETE ROSE & THE DECLARATION

    ETC…….

  • only1kene

    PLUS, Y’ALL CANNOT BLAME CHRISTINA FOR NOT HAVING A HUGE SUCCESS STORY RIGHT NOW WITH BIONIC!

    BLAME HER LABEL! IT’S THE LABEL WHO IS TELLING CHRISTINA WHAT TO RELEASE AND WHAT TO DO. YES, SHE MAY HAVE CONTROL OVER CERTAIN THINGS IN HER CAREER BUT NOT OVER WHAT SONGS GET RELEASED AS SINGLES!

    AND I REMEMBER ONCE UPON A TIME WHERE THE “MONSTERS” WERE XTINA FANS UNTIL PEREZ HILTON’S FAG ASS STARTED THE “COPYING” SHIT!

    XTINA WAS WEARING THE OUTRAGEOUS COSTUMES, CRAZY HAIR, AMAZING VIDEOS WAAAYYY BEFORE GAGA WAS EVEN HEARD OF!

  • SunDee

    @hahaha: my main point, you say Xtina is “the most copycat” (think that about your Gaga honestly). Yes Xtina looks like Gaga on that VMA KGB & all you want it to say. but IMHO Xtina is not the MOST copycat.

    lol… it’s even not worth an answer for me. because I HAVE no problem with Xtina outspoken attitude. That’s why i asking that Question to you. (because You HATE her because of that). see the point now hun? ;)

    & as i wrote way before. I GIVE Credits to an artist when it’s due…. Kanye, Gaga, Rihanna, Brit, Bey, Miley, Swift, etc.

    Hatin’ is useless
    Keep on Spread the Love

  • hahaha

    @yes christina is the most copycat! britney wannabe, gwen stefani wannabe, marilyn monroe wannabe, gaga wannabe! gaga might be also copycat (as what u have said) but she made her style super famous.

    and yes i hate christina because of her attitude.

  • SunDee

    Xtina copies= Britney-Gwen-Marylin-Madonna-Gaga copycat.

    Gaga copies =Roisin.Murphy-Bowie-Madonna-Lauper-Kylie-Grace.Jones-Kerli-Britney-etc…
    (& she even copy Xtina too).

    @hahaha, you shouldn’t copy xtina nasty attitude. instead you should copy Gaga great humble personality.But it’s your choice ofcourse. :)

    Peace.

  • hahaha

    @sundee people didnt even knw roisin murphy, bowie, grace jones etc until gaga came out… and gaga made their STYLE SUPER FAMOUS around the GLOBE!

    im not copying christinas attitude INFACT im much more NICER than christina… im only here to defend my gaga just like you defending your idol :)

    peace yow!

  • SunDee

    @hahaha people didn’t even know Gaga until Xtina perform on VMA also.

    Yes Gaga’s fashion was famous (& getting overload) since Pokerface. But that’s not change the fact that Gaga copies their style right? & you can’t deny that.

    Well, you can defend Gaga when Proph post about Xtina comment to Gaga. in here you’re not defending anyone, you just want to crash Christina down (point on blank).

    you must know the differences hun.
    & that’s not cool if you’re a real nice person.

  • SunDee

    oh anyway…
    most people do know David Bowie & Grace Jones. I think you must be specific on your word;
    which is = “teenager”.

    Coz they both are legend & famous below 90′s era. when the todays teen hasn’t been born yet.

    just straighten the facts*

  • hahaha

    @sundee i already knw gaga even before christina copied her…cause i saw gaga on mtv news. dont be so delusional.

    yes im defending gaga and i can comment all i want on this blog! as i said this is not fan site of christina! to tell you christina stans are much worst than any stans.

  • SunDee

    I didn’t know that, sorry. Edit* “Most people didn’t even know Gaga until Xtina perform on VMA”

    ahahaha (<— real laugh) no one say this is Xtina FanSite. Who said that?!

    sorry but you're NOT defending Gaga in this post. (at least not in my eyes). if this is your definition of Gaga defender, would you crash Katy Perry post either?

    hmmm… Xtina stans cannot compare of Gaga stans (look at the king= Perez). lol.. that's the real delusional stans.

    Just saying the awful facts.
    SMH…

  • hahaha

    @sundee hahahah FUNNY! gaga was already popular even before vma 2008 people will never react to christina if gaga wasnt popular… if gaga wasnt popular, then people should react to gaga that she copied christina.

    no one said that this is fan site, but the way u reply back to me u never like me to comment on this blog!

    and yes christina stans are much worst than any stans if you will just check on youtube christina stans has the most hates videos for other artist like whitney, rhianna, mariah , britney and gaga

    and about perez hilton – he hates christina cause when he invited christina to his birthday party to sing he thought that its for free but then christina asked for money because she performed and perez was pissed! and i dont really care about perez hes a blogger so he can say what he wants to say!

  • SunDee

    see, no one said this in xtina fansite. i reply because your comment is shady & i want to straighten up some of the facts. so you’ll open your eyes. because no need to hate that much. coz from what i see, you’re so blinded just because She said something about your lovely Gaga.

    Gaga did copy some of Xtina style, but her stans just didn’t talked about it & closed them eyes. & that’s so true.

    What? Perez hate Xtina just because of THAT!!!? pretending to be Perez; “oh Gosh Xtina is the real damn bitch & I must crash her down to the grave coz she wont sing free on my Bday!!!” lol… (I don’t follow of Xtina-Perez news tho). Do you think his act was reasonable? shouldn’t be Xtina getting pay for singing? Was she breaking the ‘free’ contract Perez made on paper?

    yes he is a blogger (the worse one tho’). & also Gaga #1 fans. & you know about that. & too bad for me to say, you both have similarity. Spreading hate just because of that.

    I wish you & gaga the best luck.
    spreading hate is up2u, but beware of karma.
    because Star don’t always shining.

  • hahaha

    @sundee your comments as well are shady HAHA i have so many reasons why i hate your idol! just mind your own business… and im not the only one who hates your idol!
    i dont think gaga copied xtina, xtina stans are delusional HAHA

    about perez and xtina i dont care about them, im not a fan.
    and oh yes perez is a worse blogger! isnt obvious? hes website is the most hated website on the planet so? you cant do anything, its hes job, he makes money from that..

    oh yes, say what you want about me! i dont care…

    and yes christina has KARMA now she FLOPPED all the celebrities she dissed before are all laughing NOW.

  • SunDee

    what shady comment of mine? sorry if so…
    but your comment much more shady than mine.

    xtina stans delusional? yes :)
    so are Gaga stans hun…
    that’s why I’m not a stan, I’m realistic fans.

    yeah Perez is worst blogger on this planet
    famous because the wrong reason.
    bring hatred & versus between celebs.
    (i stay away from his blog full of nasty news)

    “i dont think gaga copied xtina”

  • only1kene

    @ HAHA-

    THEN YOU MUST BE A TEENAGER BECAUSE IF YOU WERE TO FLIP THROUGH XTINA’S DECADE LONG CATALOG, YOU’D SEE XTINA WAS ROCKING THE CRAZY HAIR, WEIRD OUTFITS AND SHOCKING VIDEOS WAAAYYY BEFORE GAG-ME WAS EVEN HEARD OF!

  • hahaha

    @sundee yes xtina stans are delusional and thats the 1 of the reasons why christina has bad luck now!
    i already saw that vids before but there is no similarities

    @only1kene im sorry but this last decade i really never heard christina or saw her on tv… shes not that popular! :)

  • SunDee

    “i already saw that vids before but there is no similarities

    wow Really???! NO SIMILARITIES AT ALL?
    nonono honey, noway you can deny that
    well it doesnt matter because u are…
    gaga Stans = Delusional one’s
    (as mentioned before)

    see, gaga stans are delusional and thats the reasons gaga stans has bad luck now!

  • SunDee

    [EDIT] i pressed enter before i finished. oops!

    “i already saw that vids before but there is no similarities

    wow Really???! NO SIMILARITIES AT ALL? (shocked)
    nonono honey, noway you can deny that
    well it doesnt matter because u are…
    gaga Stans = Delusional one’s
    (as mentioned before) ;p

    @hahaha yes gaga stans are delusional too, and thats the 1 of the reasons why gaga being hate (despite her humble persona). all her delusional stans (looking at you & perez) could bring bad luck for her career! We’ll see in the future… we’ll see honey.

  • SunDee

    “im sorry but this last decade i really never heard christina or saw her on tv… shes not that popular!”

    how old are you dear?

  • hahaha

    @sundee gaga stans has bad luck now? NO christina stans! isnt obvious? HAHA

    yes there is no similarities at all and also christina never become fashion queen with her so called “crazy style”

  • SunDee

    @hahaha that’s my wrong/unedited u reply.

    you’re contradicting your self with some of your comments. i thought we could find a middle way thru this ‘wars’ & act like an adult. but apparently your mindset is so stuck & blinded. i have a pity towards you dear…

    to resume your delusional thought:
    -U said Xtina is the MOST COPYCAT than ur idol
    (that should be your Gaga in the reality)
    -U said there’s no SIMILARITIES on those video
    (you must be closed your eyes watching it)
    becoz the bad romance vs xtina commercial scene was SUPER SIMILAR! lol
    -you think people don’t know bowie & grace.j
    -you said you never heard christina or saw her on tv in the decade.
    -you think i delusional?!
    (just look at all my points above)

    You can’t win with me, that’s why u always rambles & talking to another topics (ex: xtina never become a fashion queen or else). Just accepted it the truth.

    keep on topic & don’t try to runaway like a spoiled lil teenagers. SMH…

  • only1kene

    @ HAHA-

    THEN HONEY YOU ARE OFFICIALLY “RETARDED!”…..YOU MUST BE A TEENAGER!

    IF YOU ACTUALLY DID FLIP THROUGH HER 10 YEAR CAREER CATALOG, YOU WOULD SEE THAT SHE WAS ALL OVER TELEVISION, STRIPPED ENDED UP BECOMING A HUGE SUCCESS, HER IMAGE SOLIDIFIED HER AS A SUBSTANTIAL ARTIST AND ICONIC FIGURE OF THE 2000-2009 DECADE! “BEAUTIFUL” IS CONSIDERED ONE OF HER SIGNATURE SONGS!

    SEE THAT’S THE THING! AT LEAST CHRISTINA HAS HER SIGNATURE SONGS WHEREAS, GAG-ME ONLY HAS DANCY POP SONGS THAT REALLY HAVE NO MEANING TO THEM AT ALL!

    @ HAHA- YOU ARE STUPID AND RETARDED. CHRISTINA HAS ALSO BEEN NAMED AS THE ONLY ARTIST UNDER THE AGE OF 30 WITH THE BEST VOICE! SHE BEAT OUT GAG-ME, RIH-TARD, BEYAWNCE, KADDY PUKE, FITNEY SHIT ETC…..

  • only1kene

    @ SUNDEE- THANK YOU! I’M IN MY EARLY 20′S AND CHRISTINA WAS EXTREMELY POPULAR WHEN I WAS STILL IN SCHOOL AND NOW THAT I’M A YOUNG ADULT, THE NEW GENERATION OF TEENAGERS OF CONQUERED THE WORLD AND HAVE NO EDUCATION ABOUT CHRISTINA AGUILERA! IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR “STRIPPED” BEING SO PERSONAL, I NEVER WOULD’VE FOUND THE STRENGTH TO COME OUT BEING “GAY” TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY! AND CHRISTINA DIDN’T HAVE TO WALK AROUND WITH HER ASS, TITTIES AND SNATCH HANGING OUT JUST TO GET HER MESSAGE ACROSS. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN HER IMAGE FOR STRIPPED, BUT SHE GOT HER MESSAGE ACROSS MORE IN HER MUSIC! SHE DIDN’T JUST PUT OUT ANY RANDOM “ELECTRO POP” SHIT!

  • hahaha

    @sundee its true christina wasnt that popular before! all i heard, see was the nsync, bsb and especially that britney she was everywhere before! as they said that christina was always a SHADOW! just like now shes a SHADOW of my beloved GAGA!

    @only1kene i dont have time for you since you are not included on this conversations with sundee! u just pop out!

  • SunDee

    @hahaha
    where are you from & how old are you hun?
    I’m Asian, & she’s very popular in here & around the Globe since Reflection/GIAB.

    somehow you must admit the truth dear.
    (of the resume i post above)

    & yeah xtina was overshadow because her album come 2nd after Brit. But she did a great job separate from it & became individual shadow that came to live (ala peterpan).

    You might be a teenanger, well.. I’m at my 20′s. we have our own individual taste of a female artists. Britney & Christina was a Superstar at my teenage time. (as you’re time with ur luvly gaga).

    Them all are great artist in their own way.
    Praise your fav, but don’t bashed the others.
    (this is for all the stans around the globe)

    hug & peace to my haha ;)

  • George

    Bionic was amazing and Burlesque will prove to be the same. People either like it or they don’t. Oh fucking well. She’s not a fucking Britney or a Mariah so there will be no “slump” for her. She’s on another level. She doesn’t give a fuck about media or these blogs like the others. Bitch is loaded and doesn’t need a hit album or movie.

  • Ryan

    @hahaha @Bryant Hi ladies, just want to let you know the movie has grossed over $70 Million which is a $15 Million profit. The production cost was $55. Guess you both can eat your words along with Profit. :-)

    P.S. Even if Gaga doesn’t have a penis she is the ugliest chick I’ve ever seen.

  • me

    Marilyn Monroe wannabe is soo ugly and scrappy she copies everyone and I agree with Hahaha that GaGa is way better and original.It’s Karma and Hahaha is not the only one that doesn’t like her.Craptina Snookilera stans are soo sad always getting mad when they hear the truth about Christina hardly anyone likes her.

  • SunDee

    @me
    “she copies everyone and I agree with Hahaha that GaGa is way better and original

    LOL… yeah right!
    you’re comment on the wrong time gurl,
    all have been revealed…

  • me

    Yeah I’am right she’s the ugliest creature that no one likes right now.Christina is a poser she does copy everyone like GAGA so don’t be mad.Hey you commented on the wrong time since everything is soo bad for floptina Snookilera.Hey never mind keep your fake ,bowed legged,fake boobs,nose,fake blue contacts,fake platinum hair wow she is fake Craptina comments to yourself.

  • me

    Sundoo why you always getting mad at everyone that doesn’t agree with you? Uglylera doesn’t know you ,she would never talk to you so don’t take it to heart.I would be happy to tell her that she’s crap.I hope she would read fans comments because singing is not everything and as a person she’s nothing but a loser cheater that Karma is looking for.Flopy can’t get anything right she’s an embarrasment to her fans.

  • me

    I’am off to the next blog but don’t be too mad Sun poop everything will be o.k.. I hope you will be o.k. since my comments affect you so much.
