Quote of the Day: Akon Says Aguilera Can’t Compete with Gaga
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Pop,
“Aw man, that’s not even any competition. You are actually giving Christina too much credit. She always had her cool little look and way about how she went about things. But soon as Gaga came out everything switched up. Christina stepped out of her own shell to become something different. And the crazy thing is Christina is really talented. She has unlimited range when it comes to singing. Her voice is out of here. I just think she just needs to believe in herself more. I think sometimes she gets insecure because of all of the success Gaga has had not realizing that she was already successful before Gaga came out… Christina shouldn’t have anything to prove or anyone to compete with. I miss the old Christina Aguilera. I like the old one better than the new one. Honestly, Gaga and Christina could probably get together and do something that’s amazing. But that’s impossible if they are both trying to do the same exact thing musically.”
-Akon telling Vibe that the “Not Myself Tonight” singer was better off when she wasn’t trying to compete with Lady Gaga.

Christina Aguilera is Not Herself in Her New Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Release Dates, Upcoming Releases, Dance, Electronic, Pop,
In her new track “Not Myself Tonight,” Christina Aguilera claims “I’m out of character/ I’m in rare form/ And if you really knew me/ you’d know its not the norm.”
Although no one would ever accuse the “Candyman” singer of ever being predictable, Aguilera aimed for a new sound while creating her upcoming album. “I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don’t think anyone will expect,” she told MTV.
If you like what you hear here, you can buy the song when it officially drops on April 13. Otherwise, you can wait to purchase the entire album - Bionic - on June 8.

Christina Aguilera’s Great Body of Work
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Christina Aguilera is working on her “best album yet.”
The “Candyman” singer has collaborated with M.I.A., Flo Rida, Le Tigre and Santigold on LP Light and Darkness, which is being produced by Tricky Stewart, the mastermind behind Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Beyonce Knowles’ “Single Ladies.”
“It’s just great. I wouldn’t say that it’s alternative, I wouldn’t say that it’s different. Christina’s always been an artist that moves the bar and that’s what the great ones do,” Tricky said. “They don’t stay in the same place for too long and this album is just another move for her. I really feel it’s one of her best bodies of work that I’ve heard since Stripped.”
The LP will be Christina’s fourth studio album, and her first since 2006. But although the album is almost finished, it won’t be released until next year because Christina is too busy working on new film Burlesque with Cher.
“She’s gonna do the film first. She didn’t want to not be able to promote this record because it’s going to be a big record for her,” Stewart added. “The album is finished. She’s mixing. She hasn’t made a final decision about what the first single is, but I know everyone feels good about their options.”

Christina Aguilera Inspired by Abuse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Pop,
Christina Aguilera says living with an abusive father helped her become a successful singer. The pop star was the victim of domestic abuse when she was growing up and also regularly witnessed her father Fausto attack her mother Shelly. Christina turned to music to help her cope with the trauma, and insists it was her tough upbringing that inspired her to follow her dream.
She said: “I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things - a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarrelling. Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from.”

Christina Aguilera’s Throwaway Lyrics
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Christina Aguilera almost lost the lyrics to her new song.
The “Candyman” singer felt inspired to write the track while she was dining at Los Angeles’ Osteria Mozza Italian restaurant. However, she couldn’t find any paper, so decided to put the lyrics on her napkin. When Christina and her husband Jordan Bratman had finished eating, the waiter came to remove the dirty dishes and the pop star failed to notice he had also cleared the napkin away.
“Christina wasn’t looking when the busboy took the inked-up napkin. When she realized it was missing she ran after him,” a source said. Luckily, the 28-year-old blonde star caught up with the waiter before the napkin could be thrown away.
