BionicWooHoo Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 9 hours ago, Both Sides Now said: Are you seriously calling Christina a person of colour? Are you not aware that Latino and Latinas can be fully white? I hate to break it to you but her Latino dad looks like a direct descendant of a conquistador and her mom is as white as they come If Christina wants to claim her Latina heritage, that’s her prerogative I guess. However, she is a blonde hair, blue eyes, white skinned woman who can’t speak Spanish, and has never lived in Latin America. I think people have the right to side-eye when she suddenly releases a Spanish-language album when Latin music had begun to take off on streaming. Especially when she’s attempting ranchera music when she has absolutely no connection to Mexico (Latin America is not a monolith). Literally google Fausto Aguilera, if you saw that man walking down the street you would not think that’s a white man, point blank period. Also you’re acting like this is the only Spanish record she’s ever done, you know she’s had Spanish songs between mi reflejo and la fuerza right? Did you ever bother to think her core fans have been begging her to do a follow up since forever? also the ranchera argument is dumb af. Xtina experiments w different types of music all the time. Plus, are you seriously suggesting that xtina only do Latin music if has origins in Ecuador? That is literally ******ed. What’s next? Do we wanna drag kpop artists when they cover mandarin songs?
BionicWooHoo Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Lol I love how xtina is allegedly chasing trends but then we’re talking about how she released a ranchera song like oh wow ranchera really be blowing up the Latin club charts I’m sure all the Latina baddies be going to the club to pop their ******* to ranchera god forbid anyone connect to music from another country that is on the same continent as their ancestors’ homeland. You heard it here on ATRL folks, Chinese-Korean-Japanese-Asian solidarity is cancelled. Tan France and Hassan Minaj are no longer allowed to be friends. Maluma is only allowed to do music from Colombia, if he does Guaracha like Xtina, we need to execute him

Assassin Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 3 hours ago, WalkAway said: Britney fans especially the certified racist one, need to get a life. 6 songs EP is not an album. Christina is a legacy act ffs, y'all keep talking **** about her streaming numbers so why is it so surprising that a 6 song EP in Spanish from a physical era artist, that had no physical release, didn't chart?! Y'all basically want a Spanish single +few songs, to compete with 18 track ENGLISH albums. Worms for brains! Latin EPs don't chart on BB 200, like Maluma's for example. Unless you're a huge global streaming era star. Maluma is not a US act. Next excuse?

Mokichi Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Wtf so many OXH in this thread it's sad she didn't chart on BB200 but who cares when she served quality and visuals! If she'd released physical cds she would have charted for sure, she is not a streaming artist who can just release an digital EP and make it chart, why people are acting surprised. This Xtina x Britney war needs to stop, both are at different levels of their career, stop this useless circle jerking Back to streaming Ya Llegué

ttsmu Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 I dont think anyone was expecting this EP to chart. I mean she's Christina Aguilera.

Richie.Valdez Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Me meo con la Kristina RCA didn’t even bother to invest on physical because her 5 fans won’t even stream her let alone buy her…. Hopefully she doesn’t get dropped ?? Thoughts and prayers

If I were you, I would lower my expectations to save myself from future embarrassments like this thread but you do you.
Never Ending Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 I'm actually shocked that it didn't chart nowhere in the top 200

If I were you, I would lower my expectations to save myself from future embarrassments like this thread but you do you. Santo and PMM aren't smashes, but they're doing cute enough on YT and the streams aren't even bad, they'll probably reach 100m streams until Summer this year (on YT and Spotify alone), which is more than satisfying given her decline/current status. PMM is close to 50m streams (20m Spotify, 23m YT) Santo is close to 20m streams in 2 weeks already (10m YT, 5m Spotify) I think she's doing pretty cute. The Latin Grammy (noms/possible wins) and Grammy noms (in Latin categories) will just be the cherry on top to her already 6 trophies. In conclusion, she's keeping her name out there while collaborating with the biggest acts and bagging cute little latin hits while her fans stay fed and satisfied. It's doing anything but hurting her/her fans.

Christina is a white american woman who lived in the US her entire life and she just dropped a reggaeton single with Ozuna. Reggaeton is a genre that was heavily influeced by the afro-puerto rican scene going on in the slums of San Juan. Like, what is even there for Christina to "claim" or "reconnect" from reggaeton? I genuinely like Christina and don't see any harm in her exploring that sound, but some stans really need to stop act so pretentious and just deal with the fact that she's clearly chasing a trend/experimenting with a very popular sound. You can tell these stans have no idea of how diverse Latin America is and they think that someone having a great-grandparent from some random hispanic country automatically makes any of these girls culturally connected to literally every single cultural scene going on in the entire region. Meanwhile, I was born and raised in Latam and I'd never dare to claim some of the many musical genres from my own country as part of "my culture" simply because I have zero connection to the region or ethnic group that runs it and I respect that.

Well articulated. I think the EP is pretty decent and the upbeat tracks are fun. However, it struck me that her knowledge of Latin music pretty surface level. The only time some artists want to “reconnect” with their Latin roots is when there is monetary gain to be had. Which is fine - but the music usually ends up sounding a bit like an imitation of a an artist who actually works in that genre. From Reggaeton, to ranchera and Guarcha- it sounds and she requested tracks in each of these genres to make the broadest attempt possible at a “Latin” album. I’m not claiming to be an expert on Latam culture or music, but I think we can agree that Latam isn’t a monolithic culture and a grab at these disparate genres is a little on the nose.

genio Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) anyways it's still super weird to drag a Spanish EP by Christina Aguilera in 2022 for not charting... Like I would get it if it was her english studio album or a studio album in general, but the standards for the haters just hit rock bottom I blame that troll ruining it for the actual fighters Edited February 2, 2022 by genio

Many labels are not for it anymore because of the pandemic and frankly because digital/streams has mostly taken over. Even The Weekend released an album fully digitally. Sure most other female from the 2000s haven't but they also haven't properly released an album in since 2016. Xtina had three singles, music videos, collabs with hot artists, loads of promo including major performances, her not performing better is lackluster, stop trying to compare it to other artists. That said, she seems to be serving looks and good MVs, so stans should enjoy that Edited February 2, 2022 by brazil
