PopNStuff Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Not y'all coming for Liberation when it has some of her best work. Agree it could have been more cohesive, songs like Fall In Line and Sick of Sitting feel off considering the rest of the album is very R&B inspired and soothing. However, if she would have released Pipe or Unless It's With You as lead singles, the album would have gotten way more attention. And she basically only ever promoted Fall In Line, which I would say does not represent the album. Anyways, I'm excited for the Deluxe in a few months, and then have her give us the English album at the end of the year or early 2024. And I hope she doesn't pay her Xmas album dust this year again

If anything I would've changed that weird intro and scrap off Ty Dolla Sign from the whole song, he's annoying. I stand by the pov that had Rihanna released Accelerate it would've smashed. Perfect summery song.

Same with the summer series one she did in the UK last year? As for the setlist I'm happy that she's brought WAGW back. She needs to do the same with COOB and either ITTY or Hurt. When I saw her in the X Tour a lot of people were expecting her to sing Hurt. It's like one of her biggest hits in Europe?
Beautiful Garbage Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Also I would love her to stop paying Back to Basics dust! On average she always sings all of the five singles off Stripped AND has also included some album cuts (ie, Keep On Singing' My Song, Bionic, Elastic Love, Woohoo, etc.) While that's great that she's doing them, I wish she would explore a bit more of Back to Basics and her debut. Those are eras that not only fans but the GP who attends her concert know and fondly remember. Even Car Wash that was a stand alone single would probably gather some attention.

I'm sure she has many Liberation songs in her vault, but we'll never hear them. She did songs with Pharrell at some point, but they are not on Liberation.

Perfect summery song. Agree. Also think had Katy Perry done Your Body, radio would have been playing it non-stop. Oh well. I would like to see X change up her release strategies in the future. She's never led with a ballad, but we know that is where she stands out the most. I remember when she sang Lift Me Up before Bionic was released and I was like WOW, this is her moment. I love Not Myself Tonight, but she should have just gone with Lift Me Up, then done an upbeat song.

SmittenCake Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 does anyone have more info about this song? how many songs were written and recorded for Bionic? does she had a landmine of unreleased songs from this era?
Beautiful Garbage Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 1 minute ago, SmittenCake said: Wait this is new to me? Oh she has TONS of unreleased Bionic material that have never seen the light of day. The most famous one among the fighters is Kimono Girl that never really leaked but the title was pretty much confirmed at the time and then it allegedly got shelved. Ladytron also recorded a handful tracks with her but the only one that made the cut (sort of) was Birds of Prey, available on the deluxe version only. She also worked with Goldfrapp and none of their collabs made the cut. Imagine this on Bionic.

I don't often listen to Xtina but I've been tip-toeing around her music recently. I've always loved the Bionic era. Very nostalgic to me. First time I saw the video for INMT was in the early morning hours of a school day. Was at a friends house waiting for the bus and it was playing on VH1. I remember my friends mom saying that it was too much like Gaga I wish she would have went through wit this era. People love to make fun of the first week sales but the girls these days cant even pull numbers like that. I thought the "canceled bionic tour" was an ongoing joke but came across this video and I'm so in love with these visuals. I hope all her songs from this era leak soon.

I wish she would rerelease Bionic with her version & take off the songs that shouldn’t be there. Bionic is the only album that could rival Stripped.

The Bionic tour could have definitely happened, sales were even doing fine. BUT Xtina was going through a divorce, which we didn't know about, and she also had Burlesque promo coming up, so she just wasn't in a good/happy place to do the tour. But we got a taste here: 2

But we got a taste here: Exactly this, @SmittenCake. Hence why she sort of disappeared after the release of Bionic, came back a few months afterwards with You Lost Me and then disappeared again until the Burlesque promo began in late 2010. And I'm sure she only promoted Burlesque by attending red carpets, doing interviews and performances because she was forced to. She clearly wasn't in a good place at that time. Here's the ad of the Bionic Tour that was going around before they canceled it. Leona Lewis was meant to be her opening act. 1

It was a huge missed opportunity & it doesn’t explain why she didn’t tour for Lotus or Aguilera.

Funny thing is that she kept saying that she was gonna go on tour and that was the reason why she was leaving The Voice but unlike the Bionic Tour we never got any dates or any proper confirmation that a tour for Lotus would go ahead.

The fact Your Body debut at 30 something with her doing nothing picture if she actually did promotion. Just a fool was doing amazing on radio it just needed a kick. Let there be love was fan favorite that needed label support. Blank Page received positive feedback as well. Will we ever know what was going on with her for the entire decade of the 10s?
HeavyMetalAura Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Accelerate is a classic in my life. Hasn’t left my summer playlist for 5 years now. She deserved better. 1
