TRF. Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 The Aguilera album was promised to be the return to Spanish-language music for a Latin American public that's been supposedly hungry for her music. But honestly, aside from Pa Mis Muchachas one or two times I barely heard any of her new songs on the radio and both the album and the songs barely made an impact on the charts even at an all-time peak of popularity of Spanish-language music. Maybe it should've been promoted and released properly because lbr all of it was horribly handled , but as it was mentioned before, I don't think she really cares about stuff like that anymore... or maybe she really does but is also aware of her commercial limitations at this point I don't really see her doing something that's gonna get huge critical acclaim a-la-Ray of Light either, though I def can see her winning a couple more Grammys. That said, she does have a legacy, plenty of hits throughout the years with the potential to go viral again. Pulling off a Nelly Furtado and having your career "revived" off of online popularity for her catalog is something I wouldn't rule out entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people in here are really doing the most when Xtina made Stripped, of course she's capable of creating a ROL-type album (with much better vocals too). Now, there is just one question left: Does she want it? I think she's content with where she is career-wise despite all the drags she gets over her chart positions/streams. Is this really so hard to believe for some people? She truly couldn't care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needed to visit TV shows and promote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Boy Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 She totally ****** up her career with the long breaks, the drastic image and sound changes. One of the biggest wasted potential ever. She had a good run has a strong legacy and remains a Pop Icon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabandija Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 She's proven she's able to do amazing, cohesive albums like Stripped and Back To Basics but I don't think she's no longer inspired nor that committed to music. Ray Of Light Madonna was hungry in a way Christina isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of funny tbh since only one of those songs became a hit and has been overshadowed by the ballads on that album It's not a crime for someone like Xtina releases hoe bops but sometimes, her "hoe bops" aren't even bops so....

But I have some fond memories of being super young listening to moulin rouge on a CD my cousin bought then me and my sister would play tomb raider 3 with stripped cd on (I’m from England that era was a legit smash here). I think she deserves a send off hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyboi Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 She just needs a good, catchy ballad and to control her vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I54X Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Her vocals are her signature so she better not alter her artistic DNA 24 years into her career... 9 minutes ago, shyboi said: She just needs a good, catchy ballad and to control her vocals.

1989 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I believe she could always make a comeback if she wants, but that’s the thing: I don’t think she’s after that anymore. I feel like she’s content to make music and tour for her fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjang Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Her voice simply doesn’t fit with today’s musical landscape so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
