itunes #58 bionic #84 you lost me and funny enough these were the two she performed on appearances, she needs to sing more material from the album itself, i love stripped but girl that was 8 years ago, add in the new stuff! To me it is a smart move...if her songs are not doing well this era why not perform songs from a different era that might get people at least curious about the new record...it doesn't sound right but oddly it makes sense and just like there is curiuosity play on the radio there are people who will see her perform her older hits and then end up remember yesteryear and give her a chance and check the album out. Sometimes a bad image is just to much but she has a fanbase and clearly they haven't supported her first two singles released there out there somewhere. They just need to be swayed back to the dark side her ;). There actually was'nt even a proper 2nd release for a single yet.

#56 bionic #82 you lost me
she needs to drop one of the stripped songs and add on one more from bionic... and cut half of nmt, dont do the entire song, add in one like elastic love or prima donna into that medley
"i am" should be added into a ballad medley too, it's beautiful

This album is PHENOMENAL. I played the standard version last night. Still need to listen to the deluxe tracks in full but her vocals are some of her best yet. I like that she isn't oversinging. The futuristic songs are pretty cool too but Prima Donna, Elastic Love, Desnudate and Bionic are SICK

There is a slight resemblance, I must say. I think it's cause Rihanna enjoys the boy haircut I don't see it.

The bridge on Elastic Love is just hypnotizing! Probably one of my favorite moments on the album next to the ending of Lift Me Up

at people making such a big deal out of that cough drop that she threw into the crowd. If GaGa or Kelly had done that, you all would be saying, "OMG she luvs her fanz so much that she gave them herr cough dropp!1!" Anyway, those fans looked pretty damn happy about it. None of them appeared to be upset or grossed out. Time to move on and find something else to nitpick about.

The lyrics to Elastic Love are SOOO bizarre but I like them. I'm glad the lyrics are included in the Deluxe version. The pictures are cool too. I was jammin to the album up to Desnudate during my walk to work this morning. Desnudate is so crazy. I love her moaning.

Perez Hilton on twitter: Even if she sells 180, that's still a HUGE disappointment for her! And it will drop like a brick in 2nd week!

lol Perez needs to shut up, he's still convinced that 20k for his no name artist is a smash
it's only a matter of time before he turns on gaga to exploit her for hits when her inevitable backlash/downfall happens.

Why couldn't she throw something else to them? It's just gross. Im sure the Stan that caught it doesn't care, but it's still gross.

I really had no idea what to expect from this album, so I decided to listen to the album in full before I bought it and I was pretty much blow away! I was shocked out how good it was.
Songs like; Bionic, WooHoo, Elastic Love, Desnudate, Prima Donna are AMAZING!! I cannot stop listening to them ... so so so so so good. The lyrics are funky but very catchy and I cannot get Prima Donna or Elastic out of my head. flawless.
I LOVE that she is not over-singing, it really makes the album so much better
The only thing is that I am not sure about the ballads, they seem a little dull when compared to the songs listed above. With that said they are still great tracks. Right now I only really like I Am but I will have to give it more time, because I am sure I will like them much more once I get past the high of the sick songs I listed above.
well done Xtina!! (O and the gum/cough drop thing is nasty, but whatever it got people talking and generated some needed buzz for her)

Actually, what's funny is that s.tans would even defend her had she s**tted on stage and thrown her crap to the public with a wind-blower. It could've been any of my favs, I would've still said it's GROSS. LOL people, please go and visit Mariah's or Rockstar 101's thread: Mimi and RihRih are at the top of my list but I have also trashed them when I've disagreed with what they've done.

I think the biggest mistake right now would be for them (Christina/the label) to not rush out: Bionic and/or You Lost Me as the follow-up releases to Not Myself Tonight and WooHoo (since those flopped). Both Bionic and You Lost Me seem to be the next-most-radio friendly you can get on this album. Of course, I would personally love to have Elastic Love and Prima Donna as singles as well :)

This album is being so mismanaged and this era is so all over the place that, as a fan, it's really frustrating. I appreciate some of the risks Christina took. My Girls and I Hate Boys, I could do without. Glam was on in the background when I was listening to the album last night so I will have to pay attention to it. The production sounded pretty good but I agree with whoever said comparing it to Vogue is ridiculous. While I didn't love Vogue, it was well-crafted and well-executed and even iconic. I don't even know what single I would like as the next one. I actually think WooHoo would work. It's stupid and silly but a lot of pop songs on the radio are. At least people can remember the chorus. You Lost Me seems a bit...I dunno...too dark for radio, maybe? Lift Me Up MAY work but like I said, who knows. I am glad I got a quality album from Christina but I don't know how much hope there is left, to be honest.

That will most likely trend upwards with all the promo still lined up for the rest of the week.

OMG is this serious? :o What? It'd be shocking if they were estimating 400k. That will most likely trend upwards with all the promo still lined up for the rest of the week. It won't. Same happened with Memoirs. Low prediction on Wednesday and people believing it'd go higher because of the promotion for the rest of the week. It didn't.
