I don't encourage any hate towards Christina. Overly harsh and negative comments are gonna get deleted. Same goes for comments regarding her family and appearance.
I intentionally don't mention commercial success, charts etc. as I find these irrelevant to the discussion. This is a look from a fan's perspective.
2:16 replied on this comment not because I'm an xtina stan but because your sound effects made me die... die laughing. Again, you deserve Oscars! 😍 and please... continue making great contents!
Edit: This video is very very very saddening for fans to be honest.. Feeling that your idol takes his/her fans for granted.
Do the same vid but on Nicole schezinger and fergie
Her gift is one of a kind in my opinion, and she used it in the ways we see... And I agree with your point of view, also
AND I'm no one here
You said you outgrown her style so.... She is no prisoner. Wtf 🤣
commercial success it is relevant, no one wants to lose money...
Honestly every since Bionic, it really feels like Christina haven’t been the same. It’s almost like she lost something and it breaks my heart. I’m a major fan of hers and wished there was much more promo for her last album. I really enjoyed it and felt like she had a nice recharge. We’ll see once the pandemic is over what she’ll have going on
Honestly, I think ain’t no other fan hit it right on the head when he said it seems she became a slave to her style. She’s suffered from it and continues to suffer from it but she still wont change and it’s affected her career. Another big thing is it seems she’s lost confidence. Many people agreed that when we heard Bionic and Liberation, it sounded like she lost confidence halfway through. And that lack of confidence is noticeable in more than just her music.
@@jeromewilson1048 She's far from a slave to her style. She plays around with more styles most artists. She's just not committed to promoting her music appropriately. Bionic is a dance electronic record and she chose Not Myself Tonight + You Lost Me to be singles, crazy! Liberation should have been a full Hiphop / RnB record. Like I Do is a bop and totally deserving of the Grammy nomination. B2B and prior she always played a character to fully embrace a moment / era in her music but after that she dropped this commitment. Musically, she's still playful and experimental but this doesn't translate to her image or promotion.
@asava17 She’s not as hungry and I think her “failures” really did a number on her.
@@khanhdoattitude When i say she’s a slave to her style, I mean she wont get proper training, and thus she limits herself. And from what i hear, Bionic was mostly all ballads, they came in later and added songs like not myself tonight (which i hate). So the album didn’t have a sense of continuity. Also, just my opinion, is was far too sexual and i think the real beauty of the album got lost in that. To really have a great album and a great era you need to fully embrace a theme and aesthetic. She doesn’t seem to do that anymore because she seems to lack full confidence in it, giving us songs she thinks are more mainstream and what she thinks people will want to hear, rather than really tell a story from her heart.
Yeah, she kinda lost her passion for music after the bionic fiasco and all she went through in 2010/2011. Lotus should have been her comeback album but she let it flop with the lack of promotion, feuds with other artists and terrible looks. I think she boycotted herself on purpose and said fuck you to her label and the music industry
You nailed it when you said Xtina is a prisoner of her own vocals. She leans heavily into a dark, covered sound that she augments with run after run, and it's become almost artificial and certainly unnecessary. She's like a caricature of herself, and I think she's forgotten what her real voice is like. The last time I thought she was in her element was Burlesque, and I loved everything she did there. She needs better music to sing, and she needs someone to give her permission to tone it down and find her real voice again. In the meantime, ima sing some Back to Basics and go back to waiting.
The last time ive got interest in her song was Say Something after thats it just meh. I start to thinking that the industry doesnt wanna really support her because her weight isn't appealing for the show
@@dayan9500 what’s wrong with her weight?
@@chi8772I already wrote it
Yes, something about retro style that works with her vocals well. Stripped was good, too.
I agree
I think the reason is because she is semi-retired. She just work on her own term and when she feels like it.
Agreed. The main argument seems to stem from the idea she, as a successful artist, NEEDS to provide her fans with more content. That is not the case. She deserves praise for her work whenever she puts it out (and whenever it is praiseworthy) -- she should not be tied to our expectations.
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle When you say “I have a lot of good things coming for you guys soon!” And totally reneg on that, then yeah, fans will be rightfully upset. Not about her having to do anything, its the fact that when she says she is gonna do something and doesn’t or could easily do something that would help her with what she’s trying to do and doesn’t, then thats where the problem lies
@@jeromewilson1048 Unlike many artists who promise something "real", "raw", and "liberating" -- her album actually contained music that was like that. I don't fault an artist for taking her time -- especially at that level of commercial success where there are hundreds of other people standing in the way of the album's release (producers, publicists, her "team", etc). Albums are CONSTANTLY pushed back through no fault of the artists recording them, and there are also times when you create something just to find it doesn't work, and you need to go back to the drawing board.
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle Yeah sometimes things happen and projects dont come to light but Xtina doesn’t quite have that excuse. She’s been in this industry for minute, she knows the deal. I belive she has a home studio, many connections, and she is a very rich bitch. If she really want to put out a project she can fund it herself. If she wanted to do something to invigorate her fan base, she would be dropping covers or getting out there performing. Thats how I can tell the ones that really want it from the ones that don’t. Alright, label is fucking around, let me get on TH-cam and do a cover. I’ll get in IG live and engage with fans. Ill have my social media person set up only fans or something and post there. The ones who are hungry for it will create art by any means. I’m happy for you that you seemed to love liberation, for me, it was alright. Lyrically it bit sophomoric, and emotionally she seems to keep it kinda vague, never going into too much depth. For someone of her age and level of talent and where she should be in her life, I expected more. And if you cant guarantee its coming soon, don’t say its coming soon.
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle Also, it doesn’t take four years to put out a good album. If you have a good team, a clear vision, funds, and you actually have something real to say, you could put a great album out every other year.
A colab of britney and xtina with both of them having relaxed vocals would be so iconic and beautiful
Amen amen amen 🙏🏻
Yesss...2 of the biggest Pop Stars in 90s will be everyone dream to collab. Maybe 2 songs one with (Dance Pop and a Ballad).
I WISHH!!
Really? That makes no sense. That's like when mariah was asked if she would collab w jlo and she said she didn't know what that would sound like (i.e. bi%h please!) Don't ask VOCALISTS to sing with lipsyncers, it's offensive.
they are so mighty, they just don't know
Totally agree, i also feel Xtina cannot get over the stripped era ( her best era ) and she is always trying to recreate it with all of her albums now, first single is always a sexual song; NMT/YB/Accelerate, then there is always a ballad on her albums that she is always comparing comparing to beautiful; Hurt/You lost me/Blank Page, and her interviews are always so repetitive, she always talk about female empowerment, the domestic violence she experienced as a child, how she always tries to find the beauty within imperfections and starts talking about stripped, fighter and beautiful, how she takes times between records to live her life and then she names britney/MMC. Those are the only topics she ever discusses in all her interviews, she never talks about anything new, to a point that i was a huge fan at one point but then i stopped watching her interviews cause they were all the same,i recently watched her interview with andy cohen and nothing has changed
you are so spot on. i couldn't have said it better myself.
When it comes to mentioning Mariah, y'all need to stop with this "not as successful as she used to be" mess. At her level of celebrity, she has nothing to prove anymore. She's still successful. She has a legacy and a devoted fan base and Lambs are literally born everyday. She already did what had to be done
We need a whole video about MC
True despite she not popping #1 songs she's still successful and she got finally AIWFC #1 after decades
Truth! 💜
@@felipecabreratoro this is true, some of her fans are really young.
She has lost many many fans during the last decade. I remember the meltdowns during the 6 year gap between Lotus and Liberation because it was lie after lie and an absolute lack of connection with fans. At some point we thought she was almost retired. It was hard. And then came Liberation which didn't quite match the expectations (specially after releasing Accelerate...).
She really needs a huge comeback. The 2010's were terrible for her as a solo artist, hope the 2020's will be better
I disagree about Mariah - she's even bigger now as an artist in the essence of her legacy, rather than chart performances. All I Want For Christmas Is You is poised to become the biggest song ever in music history as it just gets bigger and bigger each year.
I agree with you. Tbh of you ask international fans they will recognize more of Mariah's songs instead of xtina
@@lvlimua ya. xtina is far less famous compared to MC. Mariah has tons of no.1 classics and the albums sold much much more. MC's singing appeals to more people while in Xtina's case that people either love her or hate her singing. It's more extreme.
@@lvlimua Idk, Mariah was never a big star in Europe, as far as i remember. Xtina on the other hand had massive popularity here.
@@SvobodovaEva “Europe” ... more like in the UK lmao
@@despairingleonardo Mariah in Latinoamerica is kind of famous but Christina was a massive hit and people still know her a lot, i think is similar in Europe.
I can't agree more, her company really didn't do a lot of publicity for her new music. In addition, since the beginning of the epidemic, Christina has very little interaction with fans. Nice video!
I've been a Christina fan since Genie and went into "stan mode" from about 2008-2013ish, but I've been around for each album era (expect Liberation). It was a combination of things that made me stop following her career closely, I still love her music but being a hardcore fan of an artist is exhausting. The most frustrating things sometimes is other fans, because they have these great expectations of what the artist should do and that influences other fans, and then gradually everyone begins expecting things that were not promised in the first place. In Christina's case, it is always the issue of "the next album" which is YEARS of fans hyping up the next record, speculating a release month/year/date, only to be wrong time and time again, followed with lots of complaining. Then when the album finally does come out, it either underwhelms, underperforms or is not "promoted enough" or whatever. I find it best just to be a casual fan of Christina, I enjoy her much more when I'm not focused on her every move career-wise.
This is me to a t. It sucks because (not to compare) Mariah still gives us good music and is consistent and does her best to give us her all and make the fans happy. I think Christina goes through the motions. If you are gonna take a break come back hard to let us know you are back.
she got lost after bionic, disconnected forever with her artist within, Nina Simone once said that when an artist lost his connection with singing he would never be able to recover it, or something like that, xtina never found Maria truly 😔
I didn't know Nina Simone was a prophet 😳
It’s true, and what made Bionic so sick was the collaborations. She needs to keep doing that. Do a Rock album. Work with artists available on her new label, Alicia Keys! GRIMES! ANY producer would be humbled to work with her, her voice is a true instrument.
Bionic is awesome! Honestly I never understood the hate
@@robangel0816 Hell no! We need LESS collabs. Liberation was full of collabs. If you take away the interludes and the collabs there’s literally only 4-5 songs with just her on it.
@@michaelvaughn3703 I meant producers, on Bionic she worked with M.I.A, Goldfrapp, Le Tigre, Ladytron, Sia, etc.
I need a Mariah/Xtina collab 😭 I’ve been wanting one for awhile, even in 2020 their mua/friend (Kristofer Buckle) said they have great respect for each other so atleast they aren’t feuding anymore
I want that pink and x collab
Mariah won't do that and we all know that. Haha!
@@reng935 Well we all thought that Mariah wouldn’t collab with Ariana...
@@ajayyy6060 oooh good point.
I'm a LAMB and a FIGHTER so i definitely would Love, Love, love, that collaboration...❤️
Pretty much agree with all the things u said. I have been thinking she can be more active to the fans by utilizing the social media , especially during Covid 19, like put out some cover, small online concert for free, live stream answering fans questions and so on.
Fans would love it! Like it doesn’t have to be much, people would love a quick casual cover posted on her yt channel or a Q&A live
I'm ready to pay!! 😁🤣 but there's no concert to purchase 😁
You know how her q&as have been. Her basically answering everything we've known about for years. In recent times, the only somewhat interesting interviews she had were with Andy Cohen...
@@ChristinaMariaAguilera She is really good at taking interesting questions and not answering them lmao. She would just talk about her "truth".
Christina did a lot during Covid. Come on now.
I think we've all matured enough collectively as a fanbase to acknowledge a lot of these things as being true. One thing that should have been mentioned is she has been funding a lot of her projects herself (such as videos), starting with Bionic. She should reach out to collaborators. Maybe things will change now that she is managed by Roc Nation.
Finally someone put words to my unspoken thoughts..i remember the Liberation era being like yaasss Xtina is back and after some 5time being like 'wait why isn't she being pushed everywhere? Shouldn't this be a bigger deal than it is? I mean its friggin Xtina?' Plus the album was a really awesome body of work in my books
Christina is a beautiful woman, fabulous singer, professional. I do not need anyone to tell me how or who she is. I love Christina. She is the best. SO gifted. Miss her. Come out and sing.
Great video! It hurts my feeling as an Brazilian fan that she'd never performed here with neither of her tours. She's huge here in latin america, it's about time to apreciate us more
Como o novo álbum vai ser em espanhol, penso que ela fará tours pela América Latina e América do Norte (quando a situação do Covid-19 estiver estável)
É triste ser fã e não ter conteúdo para consumir, mas ao mesmo tempo, acho que ela sabe o que é melhor para ela. Os verdadeiros vão sempre aguardar com o carinho de sempre
I love Christina with all my heart. It's been hard to watch her become her own worst enemy after 2010. She's been through a lot but I feel she's coming out stronger now. We love u Tine
I would not say I am a fan of Christina, but she is hella vocally talented. She has inspired many and many singers to come. However, we must be objective. That is why I fully agree with you. Such a powerful fandom (hi fighters ♥️) should be kept satisfied. I love how you expressed your opinion respectfully, and as always thank you for your videos! 👌
I’m a fan and I will always be. Saying that, I respect her decision and private life. Who am I to demand her making more video or touring etc.? I mean I don’t even have children and sometimes I can barely keep my shit together. I saw her in the Netherlands during her Liberation tour and it was mind blown.
I will never forget how SIA said back in 11' during a Q&A how badly the backlash of Bionic affected Christina.
Because she is an artist first and foremost, not just a puppet.
omg where did she say it? I'd like to watch the full interview
please link interview!!
We are all curious!!!
Which Q&A
OH WE ARE READY FOR THIS DISCUSSION I LOVE XTINA BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION ❤️
Edit: YESSSS I WISH SHED INTERACT WITH THE FIGHTERS MORE YALL ARE SUCH A LOYAL FANBASE AND YALL DESERVE IT
I agree with the vocal talk. She still has her voice but she needs to get with a coach
Her speaking voice is so bright and soft, but she turns into a lion when singing, not that it's a bad thing, everyone's singing voice is different when singing, my voice is just like her's soft speak but kinda tense when singing. There's just a big jump between the 2
@@cristi4n.andersontrue, a lot of singers have very different singing voices and talking
She needs to fix her voice big time. I dont, even a single cell in me, ever believe she's hired a vocal coach these recent years.. nu uh...
she is a vocal coach. Its not the same thing as with shrinks.
@asava17 she actually lifts her larynx when singing
Christina Aguilera has matured and came to a point that she is contented of what she has and not. There will come a time on our age that we don’t care about attention, fame or even normal people like me just want to stay at home and don’t go out with friends. The most important thing is she is happy, got a peace of mind, and living the life she wanted for her family. She had her time and she truly knows that. I am not disappointed at Xtina I miss her doing music but if she wants her life to be this way and she’s happy then I am happy for her/
I hope that were the case but I doubt it. Which is why we're having this conversation to begin with
She has alienated her fans a lot. She is still one of the best singers out there, she is not 18 anymore but today's 18 year Olds can't sing like she did so... I still support her and I know there is more there than what she has been releasing lately, maybe she is a bit lost and needs to reconnect with her roots instead of looking for a successful single. She tried on her last album but it was lacking still specially when we know what she is capable of. In my opinion Stripped and Back to basics are 2 of the best albums released in the 00s with Confessions of a Dance floor by Madonna, The Emancipation of Mimi by Mariah Carey. Legendary albums for legendary women
And another thing she’s always comparing her albums like a stripped 2.0 too, I am really praying and hoping that with her new label roc nation Will promote the hell out of her and keep her busy
Lol you don’t have to sing like her to show that you are talented as a singer. Everyone sings different
That’s a nice title confessions of a dance floor😉😜
@@joshracing55 I’m so sick of the Stripped worship. It’s an amazing album, can she ever top it??? I wish she had that drive again. I remember an interview she made during Back to Basics where she said she took down every award she’d ever won when making the album. To keep that hunger alive. Where’s Maria???
@@TheSaintbx I feel like if she get really hurt again.
2007 Australian Interview
Interviewer: Have you reached the level of success you want?
Aguilera: No, I've yet to pursue so many more goals but for me it's all about to stay hungry and creative.
👆🏻 where's that Aguilera 😔?
I truly do miss that era. She had just released B2B and was enjoying so much success, publicly and personally. I wonder if her divorce and family problems (her father) contributed to her present mentality?
Let's be honest here, she got lost after she got divorced with Jordan and never found her way back and that was the bionic era at the same time :(
That’s exactly what I was saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jordan definitely had a great impact on her creatively, she put the best albums and projects out while she was with him, she looked her best, she had her own style and individuality, she took care of herself , toured the world etc. I don’t know what this Matt guy is doing, but it seems she went downhill since she got with him. And till this day never got back. Wth?!
Also I think that long ass billionaire tour she did from 2013-2017 is a good example of how much she does not care. She would rather do easy one off gigs that pay millions than give back to her fans. It's a literal pandemic and she is STILL finding a way to do the Billionaire Tour. Surely she can't be THAT busy that over the last year she couldn't livestream for an hour singing a couple songs.
The artist doesn't owe anything to people. She releases new music - you pay money and get it. She's touring - you pay for ticket then go and see her singing live. That's the deal. She doesn't owe anyone anything else. It's not like we payed her money and then didn't get our CDs or like we bought tickets but she cancelled her show (although that happens sometimes). If she's releasing new music, then she's doing everyone favour. If she's not, then she's living her life which she has every right for. Or maybe someone should become her conservator making her work hard? Do not we try to get another huge artist from conservatorship?
I am Xtina's fan and it's not at all hard for me to stay like this.
I have to somewhat disagree with this and I am a big Xtina fan. I feel like any artist no matter who they are owe their fans the best performances or albums. The best that they can give. That's what the fans are expecting and paying for. She is extremely talented and I absolutely love her though. Don't get me wrong about that.
It sounds like Christina is insecure and tries to be private like Beyoncé is. The problem is she doesn’t have that audience to go back to like Beyoncé does after taking breaks and it might be she takes the audience that she has for granted unlike someone like Mariah (I’m not trying to be negative here). I think this insecurity is shown in her constant changes of appearance and lack of touring.
The fact she did start touring again and gave every song her all shows that she does want to engage with her fans, and at least she’s still singing the vast majority of her songs 100% live, unlike a lot of other artists...
Well people like bash mariah so she really just likes to interact with her fans
Faxxx
Whats the point of bringing Mariah up here?
@@prettietingz5994 I was just using it as an example. That’s on everyone else if they’re offended
I caught that shade at the end
As one of them I really appreciate you mentioning Brazilian fans I’m waiting my entire life for a opportunity to see her live :(
After Bionic. She was not the same. She was not as hungry and driven like before. I understand her personal struggles at the time might haven takem a big toll on her. Now, she is just lax and more carefree. She could release an album and just call it a day.
I agree with everything you said. Another problem for me is her lack of effort during live shows. She is great when she does ballads but she is no longer entertaining during faster songs. Bad or no dancing, walking up and down the stage while out of breath and having the background singers sing most of your choruses and also during Vegas she even had CD vocals playing in the background sometimes... it was dissapoinging. If she wants to be out of shape and just stand there then release a ballad album and focus on that.
Real talk here are, Family over career is good., She Doesn't care charts or being there with new and mediocres...Not being controlled is a freedom....She's so talented , artistic and versatile..
Truth is Fans are not fully supporting her..
Downloaded song illegally....
Fans are also the problem...
Exactly agreed
I think that the fact that she rules her career and the record company, makes her laziness increase.
She has reached a stage in her life when she can do what she wants, as long as she wants.
As a fan I also feel the same feeling expressed in the video.
She has so many Brazilian fans, faithful who are crazy about her and in 22 years she didn't even have the courage to do a show there.
Sometimes I think she is insecure, afraid that her concerts will not show up or gain visibility, as she spent a long time missing from the media and the world.
I am Brazilian, and I am still waiting (with little hope) for a show from you.
It would be the biggest dream in my entire life.
I get crazy just thinking about her singing live, with her unique and powerful voice.
She has to understand that we value her a lot, time goes by and the best vocalists grow old.
Mariah, celine, she ...
Br aquii e concordo demais, quando ela expandiu a X tour pra ir até o Mexico quase morri com a possibilidade dela ir pra America do Sul e, claro, pro Brasil, sabia, as vezes acho q a Christina tem ranço com o Brasil por caisa daquela entrevista do fantastico onde o reporter esculacha ela, sla, vai q algum amigo pu proximo dela soube e contou pra ela ahushsshs
She is part of roc nation now, i hope that would make her hard working again
@@iagotorres8903 é triste.
A última esperança que teremos será em 2022.
Esse ano ela lançará um álbum em espanhol, e quem sabe ela talvez note Argentina, Brasil...
She never performed in Brazil????
@@sailorfan86 Unfortunately not.
Honestly I think she just got used to her comfortable lifestyle and who are we to tell her what she should do or not? I mean yes we are the reason why she can afford to take long breaks but at the end of the day we pay for what she offers us and we always want to buy her gorgeous voice. Yes I wish she'd promote more and release more often but maybe her long breaks are the reason why she's still sane in this overwhelming industry.
Her photos on Instagram wearing a dress in the pool drinking wine in the daylight should say it all.
the bionic tragedy affected her a lot. it's like she lost her drive
It really did. Both SIA and Claude Kelly said it affected her badly. During all that backlash she was also going through a difficuly divorce. It must've been traumatic because she was never really the same after that.
So true and so sad, cuz in the end...this must be her most powerful record ever. It's such a great body of work! 🙏🏻
@@visualhatefvck agreed! Bionic is my all time fav of hers
Yes, It's such a pity because Bionic was amazing!!! It's so sad she only got compared to lady gaga.
@@ff2ff263 Can someone explain to me what was the “tragedy” with Bionic?! I understand that maybe it wasn’t her most successful work, but it has really great songs on it, and image wise it looked great, her reinvention and all. What was so “terrible” about it?! I really don’t get it.
And what affected her ( in my opinion) was her divorce form Jordan, which happened after Bionic. Christina never got the same after the divorce (not because she had a not well received album). While she was with Jordan she was a totally different person, and after she met this Matt guy she literally changed in a big and not so great way. While she was with Jordan she had great albums out, she looked really beautiful and in shape, took care of herself, toured the world successfully, she had her own image and style, was covering magazines worldwide, doing campaigns with Versace, Stephen Webster, etc.
After this Matt guy everything went downhill. Say what you want, but with her huge talent it is pretty odd that in 10 years she never got back even half of the success and relevance she used to have. It seems that some people encouraged her to stay home and bake cookies instead of killin’ it in her career... Jordan really had a great impact on her creatively, and it is plain and clear to see looking at the facts.
She was and still is my idol, Stripped got me through some insane times as a teenager. But in this era of social media, I agree that her platforms are very empty. What bugs me most about her instagram for example, is that you can tell she's not the one posting. It's some intern or staff. It makes it feel like its her business account, not a personal one. Doesn't reply to comments, doesn't do lives, nothing spontaneous. And its such a shame, because she seemed way more engaged with her fans when social media didn't even exist. Who remembers the taxi tour she did to promote Stripped, for example? Dunno man, we all wanna see more of her, still love her to death but just wish she wasn't so gated.
Stripped Live in NYC special is on TH-cam! I love the taxicab part! Agree 100% with your post. I hope she will get more into social media with her young team members as an influence
I can totally relate to you, girl. Same as you, Stripped was pivotal in my teenage years and it got me through really dark times. I absolutely love also B2B and Bionic was good too, in my opinion. But after Bionic................... wtf happened?!
What affected her most( in my opinion) was her divorce form Jordan, which happened after Bionic. Christina never got the same after the divorce. While she was with Jordan she was a totally different person, and after she met this Matt guy she literally changed in a big and not so great way.

Jordan really had a great impact on her creatively, and it is plain and clear to see looking at the facts and the difference between the before and after their relationship...
I don’t care much about her having an Instagram huge presence, as long as she puts out great projects. She does neither.
I like DiCaprio’s movies, I couldn’t care less about what he posts on his insta honestly. But he delivers in his work so I stay a “fan” and happy to see his next work. Christina does neither that much. Her management seems clueless too. I feel like she has not very good influences around her or people that don’t really want to see her win.
I HONESTLY HOPE CHRISTINA SEES THIS VIDEO😭
Really good concept for this video. I am a true Xtina fan and I feel like she’s missed the opportunity to release and bless us with new content over this decade. I hope there’s a new album coming.
In "Maria" and "Twice" is where we can really see her passion and artistry, but besides that the Liberation album was a mess. Ever since Bionic she's lost: vocally, conceptually, visuals, everything. It's a shame, Stripped and Back to basics were both so iconic and had such a big impact in pop culture.
liberation is a masterpiece. it has lotsss of bops that never got that chance to be heard other than fighters
Nah. That wasn’t it..

i would have liked to see an insta live for when the pandemic started last year, when other celebs like mariah, cardi b were going live. idk a cute Q&A with some performances. but no she has to do private concerts instead :(
She never appears in public anymore unless she has money from it. :(
The fact that I could (and have had to resist the urge) to make THIS EXACT VIDEO except flipping it for Celine instead of Christina. They’re kind of in the same boat, except Celine is constantly performing, where as Christina didn’t for a very long time, they share A LOT of unfortunate similarities in their careers currently
im sorry i tried to take this comment seriously i rly did but THE PFP 😭😭
Celine is in a completely diferente level; she’s a living legend; Christina, as much as I love her, is not there, at least not yet.
I do agree but Celine does belong in a different era. She's practically a living legend and a legacy artist. She does not need to release any more albums (although if she did, we would all be happy). She's part of the 90s divas (Whitney, Mariah,...) and she's had such an incredible career. Christina, on the other hand, still has so much to give in my opinion. The fact that she only released 3 albums (and a christmas album) during the prime years of her career is quite disappointing. She waited too long between Back to Basics and Bionic, which greatly contributed to her losing impact in the music industry. Take her peers, Britney or Beyonce, for example, they consistently released great bodies of work during their best years, accumulating fans from different generations not just those who have followed them from the beginning.
@Lara The Ring Fabian Celines stage in her English career started to dramatically shift in 2003, only a 2 year difference in comparison to Xtina. Far far less album releases, far far less album promotion, less overall releases and effort and she went into overdrive with pointless Vegas shows
@@adamsamess2163 pointless??
I feel like Christina is the type of singer that doesn't necessarily follow other artists when it comes to promotion (sometimes it seems that even management doesn't really push her material). She is also the kind of singer that experiments a lot with sound, image etc. and doesn't fit the mold of "consistency". From her debut album, Stripped, Back To Basics, Bionic, Lotus,Liberation...her collaborations...she really isn't the kind of singer that can be fit into one genre so I guess that in terms of fans that can affect perhaps her fan base (except hardcore fans).
Christina has such a beautiful voice but she really need to express herself better vocally and needs to stop with oversinging her songs .Mariah carey is still a brilliant singer and is still very successful she definitely doesn’t need to prove herself to anyone 🦋
Mariah is a Christmas artist. Her albums no longer sell.
@@ceelo3719 Didn't Christina have a Xmas album? Didn't every diva have a Christmas album? They could have gotten successful but they didn't. Also Mariah had one of her most acclaimed album and the fact that she has a tight family with her fans means more than sells which Mariah is good at.
Those videos of her saying she's been working on a body of work for years ALWAYS get me like 💀💀💀💀
That was a great analysis, loved the video!
I don't consider myself a fighter properly, but I do like a lot of Xtina songs (Bionic is a true masterpiece and my favorite album of hers, btw) and I have so much respect for her, both as an artist and as a person, and I think you made some valid points here.
The lack of new content, presence on social media, live performances... Is something that I, as a huge Britney & Avril fan, truly understand how frustrating can be. As fans, we hate to see our idols' work fly under the radar, to feel like they have gone underappreciated by the mainstream public, despite being extremely talented.
I hope she makes a huge comeback and that in the next era she feels more excited about promoting the singles & album (with, of course, the help of her label and management because let's be honest, we are fools to think that ALL of that depends on the artist ONLY).
the problem is not Xtina's music and especially not her voice. It's how her eras were handled.
after 3 big eras she released Bionic in 2010, honestly I'm surprised she doesn't hate the record considering her label forced her to change its concept and it was received so badly her fandom was abandoning her and her label only focused on promoting the lead single. i don't think it's a bad album (Xtina is not capable of making a bad album -unless we count just be free- ), but considering how badly it was handled I'm not surprised it did this bad in terms of success and reception.
after the horrendous Bionic era, the divorce and the tragic 2011 I believe her following album, Lotus, was basically the tool she used to blow off her steam, this is why the record has many different emotions and sounds: several happy song, sad ones, deep ones, songs where she makes fun of haters, songs about how she wants to sing like she prefers etc. I believe this was her perfect album for a comeback especially given the radio friendly sound it had, but it was a hard time for her she wasn't fully focused on delivering her usual live vocals or push the era like she used to and the fact the label barely pushed the project until they abandoned it so early didn't motivate her either.
Liberation era... i don't even know, she seemed lost and that's probably why she had that huge gap before releasing. Honestly it's like she lost her usual motivation to deliver the energy and passion she used to deliver during her first eras because everyone abandoned her.
Liberation is a decent album, but in contrast to the long wait and so many empty promises along the way, I can say that after being a fan since Stripped this was the first time I was ever disappointed with music from her, the album is very short, has many collaborations in which she sounds like the featured artist. I don’t know, it just was a huge let down to me. I feel like after all these years she should have come back ready and with some of her best work. I also saw her live on the X Tour, her vocals were fantastic but the show was short, she barely sang full songs, it just felt messy and incomplete especially because I’ve seen the Back to Basics tour twice. I just don’t think she is as passionate about music as she was in the 00’s, I agree with you that there’s much more potential for her when it comes to success today but I’ve also accepted and learned to take everything she says with a grain of salt, I’ll be happy and supportive when she drops music, but I’m not gonna expect too much anymore, especially when it comes to promotion or longevity.
I get what you say... I saw her live for the 1st time during the X Tour and even though I enjoyed the show I felt it was rushed and didn't have a concept. Most of the time she sang shortened versions of her songs, lots of quick changes with no interaction with her and the show was only 1 hour long.
@@PedroIracheta This!!! I feel like it was just her dancers on stage and backdrops playing for 40% of the show. Vocally she slayed though. So gooood. But the show itself was a bit underwhelming because she barely sang full songs everything was shortened and rushed
You are totally right- I was a huge fan in her Stripped, Back to Basics and even Bionic era, but after that I can also say it is disappointing what music she put out. Some nice song here and there, but as a body of work it was a total let down.
What affected her most ( in my opinion) was her divorce form Jordan, which happened after Bionic. After that her downhill started. Christina never got the same after her divorce. While she was with Jordan she was a totally different person, and after she met this Matt guy she literally changed in a big and not so great way. While she was with Jordan she had great albums out, she looked really beautiful and in shape, took care of herself, toured the world successfully, she had her own image and style, was covering magazines worldwide, doing campaigns with Versace, Stephen Webster, etc.
After this Matt guy everything went downhill. Say what you want, but with her huge talent it is pretty odd that in 10 years she never got back even half of the success and relevance she used to have. It seems that some people encouraged her to stay home and bake cookies instead of killin’ it in her career...
Jordan really had a great impact on her creatively, and it is plain and clear to see looking at the facts and the difference between the before and after their relationship...
Also her management is pretty pathetic.
I am a Christina fan, her Stripped album was incredible. After Back to Basics she started to drift and after Bionic she has been lost at sea. I haven't connected to her last two albums. I don't know what happened but I agree with the video. I am waiting for more music from her that I can connect to and appreciate.
I think a lot of this type of conversation (with any artist) just comes down to expectations people have from their idols. The ideas of how one spends their time, what they create, what is an acceptable way to interact with their audience, how they promote their music or where they tour, how often, etc. comes from industry standards and comparisons with other artists who are different people with different teams. I personally appreciate the way Christina conducts herself with her work as I personally do feel that I can see and respect the truth she carries in doing what she wants and delivering when the moment comes. A lot of what she expresses and what I feel from her really mirror my own life and the way I see things - example, living my authentic truth, taking time away from everything and everybody to be with me, letting go of expectations from others on how to live my life, slowly cultivating projects for whatever time is right for them to see the light of day, etc - I just really can connect and resonate with messages that come from her, both directly, musically, and from my own speculations. It’s much less of ‘what do I want as a fan?’ and more ‘does this resonate with me right now?’ if that makes sense. And if it doesn’t resonate, that is a personal feeling based on how you connect with something. But ten years ago, I would probably hold the same sentiment as I did want to see my favourite artists doing new things all the time because I was so enamoured with them. So I understand the perspective of evaluating ones actions through the lens of a fan wanting more. But since you asked for thoughts - I appreciate her as an individual doing what she wants and sharing pieces of her truth along the way in whatever way makes sense for her as it should always be up to her and nobody else to decide what that looks like. ❤️
I couldn't agree more 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Omg thanks for putting the effort in this video! It is really important!
Christina was one of the last vocal queen. She just arrived after the Vocal trinity (Celine, Mariah, Whitney). Unfortunately that period finished . The actual music industry has taken an another direction. Apart from Ariana ( but her music has changed a lot recently) there are no real vocalists nowadays in the terms as it was for Christina and the divas before her
Sweetie, there's Morisette Amon, Keke Wyatt, Jazmine Sullivan, Jojo, Tori Kelly, Jessie j, Katrina Velarde. All vocalist who sing circles around the popstars even Ariana. Lets not get on gospel singers that's a whole other breed. You just focus on mainstream singers.
@@JordanWilliams-ix2td most of them started in the late 90s... so this is not a valid point point lol
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, I THINK YOU WERE RIGHT AND IT IS THE BEST OBJECTIVE COMMENT I HAVE READ
!!!
Andrés N Tori, JoJo, Morisette and Jessie J did not start in the 90s, so your point is invalid.
@@vinhle5858 they are sure great singers and vocalists but have they sold millions of albums as it was for the Vocal trinity ? This is the point. The industry has changed
i was personally offended that "fall in line" didn't become a chart-topper 😤
I know these are sensitive times, but I don't think anyone has to apologize to give constructive feedback and respectful opinions. And that is what you did. I really liked hearing your point of view.
I agree with everything you said, I’m 35 and I’ve been a fan since 1999 and it’s hard watching other fan bases getting music all the time, videos or just simple content and we get barely nothing. I love xtina to death but now feels like half of my life I’ve been waiting for things that never gonna happen.
Unless they are somewhat new no one is music all the time. Especially from industry vets.
Absolutely great video! Thank you so much. I'm an die hard fan since 1998. All I can say is: to be a Xtina fan is exhausting. I can feel she doesn't care about her own fanbase. She loves us but she doesn't care.... It's killing me..
Xtina isn’t trying to be like anyone else, so I don’t get the Beyoncé or Mariah references, but she is still one of the top selling female artists of all time. I think that Xtina is “semi-retired” she’s lived a long career and I think she wants to do music in her own time now.
You don't have to be trying to be like someone else to be compared to others. The comparisons here were complitelly understandable and fit the video.
She only wishes to be like them. Xtina is a mushroom beneath the shade of giants like Mariah or Beyonce.
Apart from everything, I'm genuinely shocked that in 2015 she looked almost the same as in 1999
I remember that back in 2006, Christina was the bomb.
She topped the charts worldwide at that time and her album Back to basics was hot property.
But after that she took a hiatus and started a family, a greatest hits album was released in 2008 but fans had to wait until 2010 for her to release new material.
In the meantime artists like Katy Perry and Lady GaGa stepped up and became the new teen idols and by the time Christina released Bionic, she already cooled down and became old news.
That's how ruthless the industry is, if you no longer want to be the top performer, you''ll get replaced just as easy and that's what happened to Christina IMO; after she gave birth she no longer fitted the image that the record labels gave her and she got replaced by younger models.
Yeah, the lack of content is what bothers me the most! She has a home studio FFS! As a fan, I would love huge album releases with high-budget videos and thousands of appearances like in the past, but I know these days are in the past. Nowadays nothing would make me happier than a surprise EP or short album recorded from home as a gift to her fans" "Hi, fighters, I've been cooking some magic in my home studio, thank u so much for your unconditional support, hope you like it, xoxo!"
I'm Brazilian and we miss her so much
Yessss I hope to see her live 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I understand your point and everything you said. BUT, I also understand Christina. Her life was always FULL of things to do, specially from 2000 to 2006, God knows what they go through when they’re touring and all that. So taking that break from 2006 to 2010 was completely understandable for me, specially Christina who lived a troubled childhood and worked a lot since she was a little girl! Then she released bionic, that legendary album and was received with bunch of bullshit! Two years laters lotus… and I don’t even need to say something about it, right? So yeah… the break from 2012 to 2018, I understand it too! And about the interaction during quarantine, I wanted that too, god knows how much I wanted that! But you guys have to remember, Christina comes from a time where there was no social media, she’s not into it and the little she tries to be online she does it for us fans, because it is clear that she doesn’t feel comfortable with it, she said it already! Plus she was working during this time and gave us some great performances!!! And I’m really excited for what’s next!
This is a really good assessment. Stripped was a very important album to me as a teenager and young adult (still important to me). I've watched her as an artist pretty much from the beginning and it would be nice to have more content. However, knowing her family history and how hard it was for her growing up, it makes a lot of sense that she would value her family time so dearly. We need to separate the "artist" from the "person" and respect that she is concentrating on herself and her mental health. We all need to remember that she received a lot of the same harassment as Britney did in the 2000's and was the punching bag for many a gossip site and tabloid. She, very wisely, approaches social media with caution knowing how if unchecked it can turn into something dark. Also, as a "vocalist" she is taking care of her instrument. Years and years of touring, singing difficult songs night after night takes a physical toll. She knows that she can either pace herself as needed, or push herself too far and then be forced to sit out. She's decided that it is better to take care of her voice and share quality vocals when she can, than try to push and push. The overall theme seems to be sustainability. Knowing when to go and when to stop. It might not be the best "business" decision but she already has as much as she needs. Some things are more important than "success" (which she has already proven 100 times over).

Jordan really had a great impact on her creatively, and it is plain and clear to see looking at the facts and the difference between the during and after their relationship...
Also her management is pretty pathetic. She had almost zero promotion. The fans she has are from her old days and are still waiting and hoping for some body of work that will do her level of talent justice. Otherwise we are fans for her 2-3 good albums that were decades ago out. She stayed too long low-key and not delivering anything great and people lose interest.
@@mgdkns6678 The quality of her work isn’t the same. That is 100% true. I see Bionic kind of like a dividing line in that. There are a lot of songs on that album I like and a lot I wasn’t loving. But I stuck with it. Lotus wasn’t the great comeback I hoped for and I haven’t really followed the more recent work in the same way.
I think the divorce did have a big impact on her and it’s possible that Matt (who I don’t know anything about) isn’t inspiring her as much creatively. I think realistically it’s probably a combination of factors. The kids and partner choice could be a big part. But after an album or two that didn’t hit the top numbers she might not have the same access to top producers. The current hit makers might be saving their best work for the “new it girl” (Ex. Ariana Grande etc.)
Then there’s also just burnout. She might not have as many fresh ideas. Which is a standard that female pop stars are held to way more than their male counterparts. No one complains if Maroon 5 is churning out the same song again and again (even if it’s catchy). Constant reinvention is exhausting.
Only she knows. And as long as she’s happy and healthy we can be disappointed but I’m also happy to just cherish the work that I did get. I think we are all just fans who want to support our favorite artists.
@@theresacottone I agree with you.
I don’t see Christina ever being a pop sensation again... she is 40 and pop is a game for the very young. I think. There is Madonna, but she is in a league of her own.
But given the fact that she has a phenomenal voice I think she could deliver great music, without following the route of pop fun stuff. Her audience outgrew that too, in my opinion. I could see her simply performing, maybe something like Adele or Lana del Rey. Not focused on crazy stuff or dancing too much, but on her voice and talent. I think part of the problem is that she still clings on to a younger identity and pathos. She still appears as a sexy and naughty woman in her videos, but I doubt her audience views her as such. I surely don’t see her as the same Christina from
her wilder days. She is not believable as such anymore. To me at least.
Something is off and she seems all over the place. Like people can’t really understand where she comes from anymore and what she “sells”. It’s just that her whole persona is not really well thought out and not really well translated into a product anymore. Dunno.
JLo has way less talent and she is at the top of her game. She also stayed very congruent over the years so people don’t feel confused and know exactly what they will get. She has her place and is very stable in it. The fact that she kept super fit , as Madonna did too, weights hard on why she is still very lucrative and successful even at her age.
Christina needs a clearer vision and a better team that can execute that vision and actually promote it after(!!!!).
@@mgdkns6678 that's a good point. There are other options for performance that are more lowkey. And she is still trying to push a "sexy" image that can come off as trying too hard to be her former self. She's still very attractive but subtly can go a long way. This is a common practice for a lot of celebrities, some who do it better than others. I think all you're saying is pretty fair and nuanced.
Bionic was a traumatic experience... She changed after that. The last time she did something huge was Say Something... But I think her new spanish album it's gonna be very successful. It seems like she got her ambition back.
I doubt it. She is 40 years old now, half Ecuadorian and she still never learned Spanish!!! Soooo disappointing!!!
You should know the fact that she have been already successful since 1998. Many of others want to be as successful as her. She doesn’t need to make anything “huge” to proof that she is great.
I understand your points, I just feel like Christina is basically retired at this point and only made Liberation for the fans rather than for the art or charts.
Miley is the same promotion wise, she only makes 1 or 2 performances of the first single (more only Wrecking Ball) then after that she forgets about the album 💀
I don't follow a lot of news surrounding Miley but I think she's doing a pretty good job promoting her new album (which is my fav!!). She's very active on insta twitter and even tiktok
You cannot throw the blame on Christina. It comes down to management and RCA has not been managing her properly. Now that she is under Roc Nation, i think we are in for a treat . She's looking fantastic,her voice sounds amazing,she seems happy and her energy is back. Even on tour you could tell she's getting back to Christina Aguilera.
Plus fighters are always asking for new material yet they don't support her. Liberation is one of her best body of work and yet fighters did not come out and make that album #1.
They did not even support her two songs from Mulan aka loyal brave true and reflection 2.0!
Christina had similar success in that regard with "Moves Like Jagger" and "Say Something." She didn't heavily promote those but her being on them helped those songs to be huge hits.
Love your videos! Your work is appreciated!!!!
I am a huge loyal Christina Aguilera fan but she is the type of artist that takes her time to develop and release music, the touring part in certain countries is not possible as much as the fans wants her there she can’t however is being told that she will release a Spanish or part Spanish album so as a latino I can’t wait to listen to those, going back to the touring is not that easy for her to tour wherever she will love to perform is not a freedom like that or maybe is not about freedom either is about something we don’t know or can’t assume. As a fan, I appreciate everytime she does what makes her the ducking Christina Aguilera her unique more iconic runs and singing skills is what makes her and yeah like you said her music is never a problem she is a beast and very creative and still makes great pop music that’s just not appreciated and have you instead of pressuring her to drop content question how does she feels she drops iconic pop songs and they end up being flops? Do you want to wonder how over she might be over it, she is Christina Aguilera the world should automatically like her music just as they like other pop artist music that’d not as good, it’s a matter of things that are out of her hands, she is a legendary vocalist and that will live up for history as a fact, she knows that and is not that she doesn’t care about us is that you said it yourself she proved herself a long time ago, she drops music to please us not to make hits and when she drop music is always music we will love as fans and that for me is more than enough, that’s just my opinion as one of her biggest huge enormous fans. That lady is my idol ❤️
Your video was very on point. Well done. Coming from a fan that was there from the very beginning!
Yess the video is here
7:20 - Christina has been in the industry just as long- performing on Star Search at age 8, and also starring on Disney's _The Mickey Mouse Club_ as a child.
Christina has matured on so many levels. Personally she has grown. Musically and vocally, she is at the level no one in the current music industry is. Xtina is a powerhouse with the vocal agility is the industry. She has been very active for the past three years. She does it her way. Please just let her be if you are a truly fan and enjoy her music.
i feel like she have that mentality "i once was a big star in late 90s to early 2000s along with britney, ect so i don't need to work as hard" type of way but she doesn't realize that her audience is not the type of audience beyonce has. so basically taking a long break is just gonna make a lot of fan leaving the fandom which won't help either.
As much as I live for Christina I can’t help but understand if she isn’t comfortable releasing a bunch of fluff content.
Singing on stage Christina doesn’t mind being vulnerable but she’s never comfortable doing that in like an interview or something.
Social media encourages us to bear our whole hearts and personalities for likes but that’s a scary thing for some people.
She’s always been a very guarded person which I relate to. There’s so much for people to pick apart these days it’s easier to just share the things you are 100% confident about.
That's a smart move. The industry seems to have ruined lives for many artists. Christina decided to go her own way and live a life she wants to while singing when she feels like it.
6 minutes in and I'm so living for your views on this.
I feel like her second coming is soon
i'm not a fan of her, but i understand y'all cause i've been through the same for the last two years
i hope you get what you've been waiting for her, great video btw
Christina needs to watch this video
i think she just wants to enjoy her life and family. she’ll come back when she’s ready.
totally agree on this 100%, fan here from the Philippines
I can sense that we will get something new in the next quarter :)
we will be well fed with a Latin Album first then the English album after a short span
I agree with all this. Being a real friend, and/or real fan is telling your fave the truth, and that's exactly what this is.
Her vocals are unmatched! She has so much soul in her voice and I personally miss her music/content
We need to share THIS VIDEO TO CHRISTINA AGUILERA right now FR!!
Well about liberation i never believed she spent so many years for recording. She just threw it together the last time just to put sth outhere. She just wanted to reintroduce her older material to New audiences and start performing again as live performing is more relavant than the actual album sales as a matter of streaming and all that. I dont know but the empowerment songs that she does resonate the most, to me at least whenever i Listen to fall in line i shit myself everytime, and this one she admitted she had it longer in the vault as well as unless its with you. The other songs on liberation were last minute, there were t bangerz but as an album it was consistent and pleasant to listen to
The songs she did with Kanye were also older and in the vault
I love this woman...i love love love her and i got her albuns...magazine...had a small bottle of her royal desire perfume cuz i love her music and i can relate so much and her voice is very magical to me☺️ I remember when she released Not myself Tonight and i was busy my First university year and had manu expenses BUT i remember i prepared myself to buy The iTunes card to download her song and her music video to contribute with her New era and i did...also Your Body and Just a Fool i did the same...BUT i sent that Not myself Tonight music vídeo to every soul i found via Facebook 😂 and i still share her content with friends and family...i think she improved so so much...she gave us Liberation era with a Tour.. and i know im from Brazil and its hard for us to travel to América...documents and receipts whatever and also the money of hotel... tickets...everything BUT im happy she did and i watched The fan vídeos on TH-cam and cried BUT i think she improved and gave The American fans and European ones great concerts 👏👏👏bravo
I still dreaming about a concert her in Brazil next time...maybe she Will come with Matt and organize a meet or a event like she did for Pandora Liberation party...Just to talk and take pictures...If The big markets here cant pay maybe we can do something diferent...a good Idea of a quarantine special live...using her own TH-cam Channel to Go live pra Instagram and Sing Impossible and Walk away fan favorites and a few songs...say hi... I dont know i miss her and i know many things are controled by RCA or management BUT i dont like RCA...she could find a better one...these people are done with her...they Just released what she wants but with 0 promo...no rádio at ALL..and makes me Sad she still there BUT okay...would be cool If she films a small concert from her home...doing songs fans like...maybe I turn to You pra car wash or Telepathy...haha OMG well BUT i understand this vídeo...i also sometimes expect her to appear at The Vmas or Grammys...maybe to present an award and say hello because we are fans and these things are important for us🤩 God bless Xtina and ALL of us 😘
I agree that varying her vocal style just a bit more would help a lot. A lot of people simply do not understand the use of distortion (weirdly people commonly enjoy way more questionable forms of distortion such as metal screams, which really confuses me).
Although getting onto those popular song association and things so-and-so has never done before videos are nice, I don't really care for those videos all that much tbh.
I also don't follow any of my favorite artists on social media either (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) either. I don't get the appeal of that tbh. It would be too obsessive and intrusive for me, lol!
But as usual, I really enjoyed the vedio!
I’m crying watching this video 🥺😭 Because it’s true 😔 Hope that her new magement gonna give us more materials 💔
Well, to say things about Christina (Fighters, don't come for meee!) is that she's done her contribution to music during her very first appearance in the music scene and during the Stripped and Back to Basics era.....she was at the peak of her career at that time. But, we got Ariana Grande in replacement because that is the taste of music for the millennials.
I mean, 2003 was my birth.......which means, I was born during the "Dirrty" days when Christina was "X-Tina". My favorite was "The Voice Within", it helped me a lot to just keep going with life no matter how hard it would get. Sure, "Reflection" was only the warm up, but, it seems that the people of today when they hear "Christina Aguilera", they think, "oh, is that 'Moves Like Jagger', 'Say Something'", etc, etc...
It doesn't matter if you hold on to nostalgia or go with new stuff, all I care is that she's done something for music. Period.
But, to be honest...I may not be a fan of Christina Aguilera but of Michael Jackson's career (still, don't turn on me, you Christina fans), but she is ALSO one of my nostalgic favorites as a kid. I used to be spellbound by her singing. Heck, even planned to sing "I Turn To You" in my style of singing using Christina's voice to make a duet version.
So, to the Fighters...here's a kiss and a hug from a Moonwalker fan (a fan of Michael Jackson). Just remember, there is also part of me who is also a FIGHTER too. A humble FIGHTER you might say with a FIGHTING SPIRIT.
I still give all my wishes to Miss Christina Aguilera and her fans a good luck for many more years to come.....may the genie make all your wishes come true.
Sincerely yours, a Moonwalker fan to a bunch of Fighters.
El problema con mi queentina es que ella desde que se separo de su ex marido y lanzo bionic ya no volvió a ser la misma. El nuevo marido que tiene no la incentiva a preocuparse por su carrera. Xtina deja sus álbumes de lado y no promociona sus discos como lo hacia antes.
Muy de acuerdo, es como si estuviera retirada, y ofrece y ofrece cosas que nunca salen
Mas que su ex marido, creo que perdio la pasion por la musica desde los problemas con Bionic, y como ya es inmensamente rica y conocida ya no esta en la obligacion de trabajar duro como en los inicios, porque se volvio comoda y tampoco le gusta interactuar con fans. Pero es cierto que Jordan tiene una carrera como manager y trabajaba en su equipo, conoce de musica porque esta dentro de la industria, de hecho el fue el de la idea del B2B y la empujaba a trabajar por su carrera, mientras Matt no esta relacionado al mundo de la musica y casi que vive del dinero de Christina porque su trabajo como asistente de produccion no es que deje mucho dinero.
@@Itzzy515 Él tiene una empresa pero tampoco es el gran empresario, pero lo que dices es cierto, me parece que ambos están viviendo la vida y xtina simplemente da conciertos cuando lo desea y donde lo desea como los que dará en Julio, realmente para mi como fan es triste, cada vez veo más lejano conocerla.
I will always love her but she need to work more, new dancers, new choreographies, renew ... and the costume in her tour were horrible!!! But she is incredible
I forgot how beautiful she was in 2014 and 2015
I can only speak for myself.
I'm a huge fan of hers since the album Stripped (it might be because those were my teenage formative years), and respected her ever since. It was a beautiful mix of vulnerability and strength I came to admire about her.
Back to Basics album was her most emotionally and vocally mature material, where she showed her grown woman side.
When it came time for the album Bionic, she lost me a bit. I remember feeling confused about the leading single and album as a whole.
There were some amazing ballads on that album, some of her best work yet, but it made no sense to me - at the time we still had no idea that her marriage was falling apart, and she was going through a rough period.
Besides those ballads, most of the other songs on the album were overly sexualized, and the project as a whole seemed kind of a desperate attempt at portraying false self-confidence.
And once the personal struggle became obvious, the album hype has already passed. Not enough people connected with the mixed messaging of the material - and album consequentially commercially failed.
Then came time for the next album - Lotus, the one that came after her first commercial flop.
For the first time since I became a fan, I saw that she had no clear concept of it - musically or visually. It seemed forced, like she needed to prove to the world that she can make a quick comeback - using a popular tv show that she was on (The Voice).
Again, some nice ballads, plus few catchy songs, nothing personal or substantial.
When that album became even less commercially successful than Bionic, then came the long wait for her next project.
And it was too long of a wait. But one thing changed - I came to expect less, or at least not too much. Liberation album was exactly that, not pretentious.
I liked the visual low or no makeup representation, and the Fall in Line single was first in a long time that I understood instantly.
She finally realized that there's nothing left to prove to the world, she is a successful singer with both critical and commercial acclaim. No success comes without ups and downs.
I also matured in the meantime, and I realize there's more to just sales and numbers. There's life!
I'm actually looking forward to this album in Spanish. So far so good with the first two singles... she's showing matureness again and it's promising.
Damn she has a kid. Let her take care of her kid is way more important then what we as fans want....
Same, I love her SOOO much and adore her old music, I used to listen to Stripped and Back to basics again and again.
Vocally speaking, as someone who's had a few years of vocal training, I think her biggest problem is actually her tongue placement. Her tongue is placed quite far back to give this artificial 'fullness' that I think is inefficient and unnecessary, it just makes her voice a bit muffled. I know she wants to imitate Etta James and other sings who sing with really full voices, but that's not what these singers were doing tho...... and it's just a specific technique that can be learned easily with vocal coaches.
Over the years I think she's also been using a lot of very full chest voice and distortion which I like in moderation, but she should get a coach to start mixing again to hit those high notes. I fully believe she can hit F5 and above in a mixed chest voice easily if she gets the vocal placement right and allows the muscles for her head voice to do the work.
But more importantly, her new songs haven't really connected to me as much as her old songs. I love when she shows off vocal agility and high notes, but it has to be in a suitable context and spaced out, or else the entire song just becomes a vocal exercise. I think she should really look within herself right now and see what she wants to tell the world, and collaborate with song writers that can help turn them into beautiful songs that really resonates with our hearts. The world already knows she can do the craziest runs, but I think what we really want are soulful songs that we can cry to, laugh to, and connect with emotionally.
I also feel like she can get a bit defensive about her music and vocal style, and probably doesn't listen to most producer's opinions. But after a few mediocre albums I think she should be honest with herself that her music just isn't as good as it was, and perhaps seek out people whom she respects for their honest opinions. I think she tends to overcomplicate things for herself and really needs someone to simply and strip away the unnecessary ornaments.
But regardless, she's had a crazy successful music career already and she really has nothing else to prove to the world. I'm just a selfish fan who loves her voice and wants to hear some new amazing music from her! Most importantly, hope she's enjoying and living her best life!
Great analysis - great video!!
now that she's signed with ROC Nation i'm hopefull the music, promo and album roll outs will be better. fingers crossed.
7:50 :" Europe, UK and North America". UK is in Europe xDD.
But yeah, I completely understand you, you are right one what you say. Sometimes I feel a bit like that for Celine, that she could have had released some more albums instead of waiting so long, that her albums were marvellous and didn't get the attention they deserved due to lack of promotion. But definitely not comparable situations. Celine is an older generation, a living legend with immeasurable contribution to worldwide pop music and culture, Christina is a newer generation and in the last decade she could do much more than she did, and is definitely not at Cèline's legend level (and I doubt she will ever be).
I said it like that, because I've seen phrases like "European leg of the tour" and "UK leg of the your" used separately, but UK is very much in Europe lol
@@aintnootherfan Ah Lol, great job on your videos, keep up (I would also appreciate more Celine in there, love her)!!
I think she was clear in Sick of Sitting song. She says: "just be thankful I gave this, cuz I don't need it."
This video can be applied to several artists.
