Power love Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 1 hour ago, La Reina said: there definitely should've been a Spanish version of Stripped in 2003 since Mi Reflejo is basically a Spanish version of her debut. I guess they didn't want to cannibalize the sales of Stripped with another release You know the complete opposite would’ve happened. No logical person would feel that they had to buy one or the other, especially with Stripped coming out in October 2002 & her releasing a Spanish album at the tail end of the Justified & Stripped tour which ended September 2nd 2003. She could have released it Nov of that same year one year after then continued the Stripped/Spanish album tour into 2004 like she originally planned until that was canceled. 1 hour ago, La Reina said: The Christmas album was also misplaced but now in the streaming era, it boosts her streaming numbers greatly so RCA had her doing so many weird things. Record pop teen album! Then record it in Spanish! Then record a random Christmas album! Then record album in Portuguese! I think she was just OVER the teen pop phase which is understandable. I do think maybe a slightly more mature teen pop album to ease the general public into Stripped wouldn’t have hurt. Second Teen album 2000 & first Spanish album 2001 replacing that Christmas album sounds much better! 1 hour ago, La Reina said: I also don't understand why she didn't tour Latin America for Stripped when it has Latin songs ("Primer Amor Interlude"/"Infatuation Same reason why she didn’t touch one Latin country during the Aguilera era in fact she didn’t tour at all better go to YouTube!

Well she did visit Chile, remember? For the Viña del Mar festival earlier this year. They went so hard for her that she even did 2 dates at the MoviStar Arena in Santiago. I thought that momentum would translate into a cute little Latin American AGUILERA tour for Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina but nope.

She just doesn’t seem interested in keeping her brand active & alive. It’s almost like her music career is truly a hobby & she feels no need to expand her brand outside everything she’s done in the 00s. You would think she would be tired of Stripped being the only thing she’s remembered for that she would try to top it in a way.

She can definitely deliver, no doubt. She also has the catalog to pull off a 15 min show packed with hits of her own. But she just doesn't have the appeal (to the GP) to hold it on her own.
Beautiful Garbage Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 I mean a Super Bowl setlist for her wouldn't be much different to what she's been doing on her tours anyway. Genie in a Bottle What a Girl Wants Lady Marmalade Dirrty Beautiful Fighter Can't Hold Us Down Ain't No Other Man Candyman I feel it would be a nice touch if she could add a Burlesque track as well. Either Express or Show Me How You Burlesque. It feels like the soccer moms and gays alike would all appreciate it. They're always saying how much they enjoyed the movie and Xtina in it.
Beautiful Garbage Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Now considering Madonna, Gaga and Katy performed between 6 and 8 songs during their sets, I think one very realistic one for X could be: Dirrty Can't Hold Us Down Genie in a Bottle Ain't No Other Man Lady Marmalade Beautiful Fighter ANOM could be a potential opener as well. She'd definitely finish with either Beautiful or Fighter, as usual.

Release day rushed just to fit the Grammys deadline. Terrible promotion on social media accounts. Scattered singles?!? No performances! Playlisting!

Can’t Hold us down should be replaced with Come on over baby or Candyman. She won’t be able to do it unless she scores some mid hit! Another Say Something. Her catalog is simply too small or unknown to most of the current GP from the lack of touring & promoting newer eras. Burlesque is probably her only known album in recent time. Such a shame they didn’t utilize Burlesque more during the time. Great management would have push an official single & had her tour with a Burlesque theme tour to erase the Bionic culture.

Great management would have push an official single & had her tour with a Burlesque theme tour to erase the Bionic culture. But artists usually perform an average of 5-7 hits and X definitely fits the bill without even considering her collabs. Hell, even Madonna only sang 5 of her hits and one brand new song at that time. Though I agree with you that she's not doing it because sadly her name alone doesn't hold that much power to be a headliner on SB. Realistically, we would need another JLo/Shakira moment for that to happen.
La Reina Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Christina has more than enough hits to do a Superbowl Halftime Show. She could invite Mya, Missy, and Lil Kim to have a Lady Marmalade reunion (I'm excluding P!nk for obvious reasons) and everyone would stan and it would definitely go viral: "Genie in a Bottle" "Lady Marmalade" (ft. Lil Kim, Mya, and Missy) "Dirrty" "Fighter" "Can't Hold Us Down" (ft. Lil Kim) "Ain't No Other Man" "Candyman" "Feel This Moment" "Beautiful" (to close out the show) The award that she probably won't get until she makes a comeback of sorts is the Vanguard Award (which is way overdue for her to get regardless considering some of the choices they've made in recent years) but they usually give that to artists during their comeback eras or when they have a big hit/album campaign going on. It's weird though because I remember that MTV teased that Xtina would be next to get it, pre-Liberation era. It's not as prestigious as it used to be anyway so... Edited July 24, 2023 by La Reina

RCA didn't seem to have high expectations for the Burlesque soundtrack after it debuted at #18 with 63k sales in the U.S. which was far less than Bionic's 111k (#3) but the joke was on them because Burlesque ended up lasting for 53 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, making it Xtina's third album to chart for over a year. Bionic wishes. It's criminal how "Bound to You" didn't get single treatment when it's getting more daily streams than some pop girls' #1 singles from that time. Such a mismanaged era.
PopNStuff Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 Xtina needs a new/different social media team. She literally always misses the train on this: Candyman has some amazing tiktok videos, and she's never acknowledged them. Pa Mis Muchachas had some great dance videos, and again she paid them all dust. Burlesque Riff Challenge ignored by X. Every Halloween, so many celebrities and up and coming stars dress up as Xtina and she never pays them attention.

There seem to be a disproportionate disconnect between, Xtina, Stan’s/fans & Christina’s team. I don’t know if it’s Christina not caring or her team! But her legacy would be 10 times brighter than it is. Another extremely miss opportunity was the (Stripped anniversary). She could have done a four night intimate theater tour in LA for appreciation & if she insisted on filming a music video why for a song that already had one? Why not interact with fans? Have them vote between random songs on Stripped that didn’t have a video? Film that be in the actual video girl. … don’t get me started on the debut era anniversary . Mind blowing… throw the whole team away

I guess so but they could've filmed music videos before she really started showing. Pre-streaming era, a single without a music video limited its success big time.
