endless_sorrow Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 The ballad was released as the 2nd single from Bionic. For comparison, Not Myself Tonight has 38 million views. She performed it on 2010 American Idol Finale, which is easily one of her best live renditions ever.
Distantconstellation Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Yes but Not Myself Tonight has been restricted since it's release so not a fair comparison
crf13 Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Great song. Terrible summer single choice…and the video… well 1
G.U.Y. Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 It's a beautiful song. I used to listen to the "pop mix" on repeat.
Lightbringer007 Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 One of her best songs! The way this deserved so much better (as did the whole Bionic era tbh)
Slap Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 No longer too ahead of its time, it’s Bionic’s time now!
gimmelaugh Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Amazing song Bionic has some good ballads - I love I Am and Stronger Than Ever too. 2
holyground13 Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 This song one of her best vocal performances too.
mons†er Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 ONE of the best vocals she has ever delivered. it's so damn beautiful and her technique is superb on this song. it has always been my second favorite from BIONIC after Little Dreamer. 2
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted August 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted August 14, 2023 Slay. One of her best singles ever. It didn't get the love it deserved upon release.
starsailor Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 It's obvious that she released this single with an eye on a grammy nomination (and, tbh, a win), but it never came with all the Bionic fiasco. this era had so much potential and so much to give.... really sad
BionicWooHoo Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 The fact that the AI performance made me go from fan to stan but it wasn’t even available to purchase on iTunes at the time. I s2g sometimes she surrounds herself with friends/yes men as her team and they literally would have been fired way earlier if it would have been any other pop star

Mordecai Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Bionic (and Witness) get so much undeserved hate. This and Lift Me Up are both great ballads. Christina's discography at her peak would've benefitted from an album with just ballads and mid-tempos - could've had the potential to be a classic
JustLikeHoney Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Deserves one billion. One of the best songs she has ever done. By this time Perez had ruined her career. Not Gaga's fault but because of Gaga by a psycho fan that had too much power and even ended up stalking Gaga herself. Edited August 14, 2023 by JustLikeHoney
Xtina23 Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 This song sealed the deal for me as a stan for life after I loved Not Myself Tonight Versatile LEGEND>>>>
I54X Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 An unfinished mess. I love the radio edit though. That one is amazing
Jooj Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 I like this song but it gets massively overshadowed by Bionic's other ballads. Stranger Than Ever, I Am and especially Lift Me Up >>>
