I am [was?] a big fan, but I don't think so.

I don't care if she doesn't sell records anymore [who does?] but she needs to stop releasing albums with 5/24 good songs!!! I hate, hate, hate long records and I usually can stand them when they're good but oh my god, Bionic was so tragic. Even the slow songs were horrible.

If she made an album with ten songs as good as this, I'd be all up in her George Foreman

She oversings EVERYTHING. It gets very tiresome. And it doesn't work with electro. The whole "Bionic" project just felt like she was trying WAY too hard to be down with the trends.

The only song where she kept it simple as far as vocals that I really love is Save Me From Myself. I really do like that song cause she sings that really well.

You kidding me? Back to Basics was great and it's a damn near miracle considering she was feuding with the producers WHILE recording the fucking thing.

Her big ol bean-shaped head looked good in the Back to Basics hair, too. It accentuated her features instead of making her ears look huge and like she was Minnie Mouse.

Seeingvoices doesn't like anybody not named Michael Jackson don't pay too much attention.

Back to Basics was good. Floptina only delivered one horrific album in her career and that was the mess that was Bionic.

Don't speak for me , you don't know me , is that because I highly criticize your fav stiffney spears and defended Janet jackson , I listen to many artists beside your king Michael Jackson , many artists ...but that doesn't mean that MJ still shits on all your favs ....

Again, Don't speak as you know me

Ok

There's hope for her She does need to figure out who she really is as an artist instead of just flipping back and forth between Madonna and Mariah Carey though and yes that damn oversinging needs to go. She is a good singer, but not as good as she wants us to believe.

Perhaps she can begin redeeming herself with her Aretha Franklin tribute Sunday. She really needs to emotionally connect with whatever song she sings and not over do it. I know its a oxymoron, (Christiana + not oversinging) at this point but its my opinion.

She could do a 360% turnaround if she handles it right. From her mistake on Superbowl Sunday to...redeeming herself by knocking out a Aretha Franklin song out of the park on Grammy Night this Sunday.

If I was with her people I'd make sure this would be the story people walk away with after Sunday night. However, the biggest problem obviously is her. Can she humble herself enough and do a tribute right versus trying to prove to the world she can blowout eardrums. But I digress.

She really just needs to find herself, she has too many things that distract her from music, she still doesnt know if she wants to be a singer, getting respect, or wants to be a straight out pop star like Britney, which she was for a moment but she cant be that, i dont think that has settled in, and i dont think she realizes that she actually has talent beyond the voice, she is kind of like Mariah and Beyonce, both have good voices, somewhat good stage performances, but both lack quality in music, and in some cases just diversity or something to seperate them from others. As i have said before, i love Mariah from day one, but she is possibly one of the most "blueprinted" artists ever, each album is so "formula" theres never been a step away, "Glitter" would be her biggest stretch. Her album cuts are so alike that the challenge is figuring out what album they are from. With Aguilera, she is stuck, she experiments, but she she tries to much to experiment, its forced, now i liked some of "bionic" but the goal from day one was to dog it, because thats the climate now, everyone has a blog or agenda and peoples twitter sites that are run by 10 year olds do battles for each other. My advice to Aguilera, good to a record store and buy the latest Katherine Mcphee record, out on verve records, and study it, and learn how to develop vocally, because Xtina, though possesing great voice, cant SING.
