Power love Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 1 minute ago, Beautiful Garbage said: I feel like Prima Donna and Not Myself Tonight were the safest choices I feel the opposite. Prima Donna sounded dated on arrival like something from 2006 with the random little John (who was played out) by 2010 on the track & Not Myself tonight just isn’t the quality audiences expected from a Aguilera release with its juvenile lyrics. Honesty, Monday Morning or Elastic love would’ve been great first choices. Risky but more in tune with quality & the actual concept of the album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have her flopping with something authentic and worth attaching her name to than flopping either way with a generic mess which was clearly meant to be a radio hit, like NMT itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She received so many inevitable comparisons with Gaga for NMT video. Bionic era is tragic but at least the music is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectations for Bionic were so high then when NMT came out and with it all the harsh criticisms and comparisons it made me very uneasy. It just felt like the whole world decided to plot against Legend for absolutely no reason. By the way, remember when Bionic was rumored to be titled Light & Darkness and just like Back to Basics it would be a double disc, one with bops and the other with ballads only?

I remember radios saying that they would only play Candyman late at night because of its suggestive lyrics. As if years later they weren't playing songs that explicitly talked about threesomes on heavy rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pure sales are at around 9,3 million if we include the BMG Music Club sales. There are albums that sold less than CA and are diamond certified based on shipments.

It would be an iconic moment. Mi Reflejo is also eligible for Latin Diamond. And "Say Something" should be Diamond-eligible soon. 2 Diamond albums, 2 Diamond singles.

It doesn’t hurt anyone by updating her profile! I had no idea Say Something was so close to diamond. Great big world must be making bank just off that song alone.
