I'm actually glad Christina recorded it without runs riffs etc. I have always respected that she has never wanted to just be a big voiced diva and nothing else. She has stated that singing on stage ballad after ballad would bore her.  She's always wanting to try different things. 

 

 

 

 

Aguilera's decision not to perform her "trademark warbling" while recording the song disappointed M.I.A., as she detailed in an interview with MTV News UK:^[5]

I really thought I was going to be able to go in there and get her vocals on to the next level and she didn't want to do it. She was like 'You might think that's great because it's not what you do, but to me I'm really bored of it'. It's interesting getting to work with people who can do things vocally that you can't... but yeah I only heard the song for the first time when everyone else did.^[5]

Should have been Biconics lead single tbh.

An underrated bop from an amazing album. I can see this song going viral with the right trend. 

I still love Bionic

Yes exactly it would have been the perfect first single. PEREZ hilton would have looked ridiculous trying compare it to lady gaga because it sounds nothing like her material, I'm sure he would have tried though. Elastic Love is the stand out track from Bionic according to critics. I like you hope that tiktok makes it go viral because it definitely has potential. It would sound so hot on radio, I know it would confuse a lot of regular listeners who aren't use to hearing Christina sound like that tho.

Her biggest mistake during this era was not releasing Monday Morning as the second single.

would have been a great way to kick off the era imo. 

It’s one of the best sings 

Bionic deserves to be revived. It's a good album.

Oh. I really wanted to say Lead but I didn't want to get attacked by the fighters.  I agree it would have been a great lead single.

It was truly ahead of time for certain people

Ahead of its time

Underrated af song. It’s SO good. MIA delivers  

I think she should have explored the sound more with MIA. I get MIA’s point and would have loved a second and third song that plays with the usual Xtinaisms (while also keeping Elastic Love as is.)

I would have loved that. I also wanna hear that Goldfrapp song that never saw the light of day. I know Christina still has it

Xtina is a versatile artist and a vocal chameleon. The way she manipulates her voice from girly and light ("Elastic Love", "Bobblehead") to a roaring lioness ("Prima Donna") on Bionic is amazing. She has so many layers to her voice.

She has soo many songs in vault! Probably like 4-6 albums worth of material.

Songs like this, Monday Morning, Little Dreamer, etc. really make me wish Bionic was a smash. The material is just so good, it deserves to be heard by the masses.

Bionic is packed with TikTok friendly bops, but it's just not happening yet.

love that song but don't think it'd have been a hit back then

Yes, the only mistake she did was to not release it as a single

Absolutely. The same reason why Bionic and Monday Morning are highlights of her discography.

It's easily the top 3 on the album and it's really fitting to the concept she was heading with Bionic era
