Uh, because she was about to sing and swallowing it would affect her vocal cords? She could have just, you know, dropped it on the ground right in front of her? Or better yet, found a damn trash can. #NotThatHard Then people would have flamed her for littering -_-

At the risk of starting a massive stan argument, sales=/= talent. I love Kesha and her music but I would never say that she's a better singer or is more talented than Christina. Christina has been off the scene for years and has never been as commercially successful as her peers... For all the mentions of Christina's bitchiness, she has seemed pretty gracious to me ever since she stepped back into public life for this album. She was in her early 20s when she made alot of those bitchy statements about other artists and whatnot, I think given her childhood and her background she was always a defensive person and motherhood and marriage has seemed to tame a lot of those bad qualities in her. This was a girl whose father beat her and her mother as a child and she had to deal with bullying in school adn then bullying by the media for always pitting her against Britney when she came out.. perhaps I am a more forgiving person but I think she's moved on from all that. Didn't someone say she was at Britney's baby shower or Britney was at hers or something like that? And I distinctly remember an interview with her during Britney's comeback that she only had nice things to say. I don't know what ur talking about but Christina is as successful as her peers, if not moreso or equal to. Meanwhile, she's been over the whole Britney thing, only people that can't get over it even still think about that.

Her voice is fine, just a lil tired and fatigued in the morning, plus sometimes the different temps affect certain singers voices. Lots of singers will tell u that. She's been promoting,performing, and during interviews nonstop. Her voice is still the same, as she showed on Letterman !!! Amazing amazing performance there. !!!

It's hard to avoid comparisons given they're both pop princesses of the late 90's with a similar age. If I were a fan I wouldn't be so worried. All divas eventually flop, she can make a HUGE comeback if she works on it and her label makes much smarter decisions. Or she could just vanish into oblivion and become a small act who does what she wants and maintains a small fanbase.
Despite all this Bi-On-Ic mess I still believe, and I think most people do, that she's very talented. The material, bad press, comparissons, her attitude and looks, etc just didn't work this time around. TTime for her to analyze this flop and make the right decissions for her next album, if she pleases and wishes to keep her relevancy in the mainstream world.

Again this album isn't over, just less than stellar first week numbers, having said that, there are potential singles that can be possible hits. Stop acting like this is the end all be all. Bionic' is a great, she's been compared to other artists just about her whole career, and that did'nt stop her before. I like how all of these stans like to act as tho thats all she wrote lol @ u.

Still very hopeful about the album. It's doing well worldwide. If it debuts #1 in at least 5 countries, I'll be super happy as a stan.
Plus Bionic is a real great album.

Ladies and Gentlemen I think we may just have here Glitter 2.0 or Glitter for 2010.
If you think this album is going to be a flop, wait till her movie comes later this year.
I do feel bad for her tho

Plus, wait until the ticket sales for her tour begin, if such thing occurs. It was already postponed and with the numbers so far, I don't think it would be wise to go through with the idea.

The wise thing would be to scrap this era as fast as possible a la Blackout, and release a Good Album (a la Circus) next year.

I'm inclined to believe that his era can be saved with the release of "Bionic" for a fast, fun, summer song. Or "Lift Me Up" for a ballad.

Glitter was a soundtrack, not a regular album, and Glitter actually had some good tracks on it, it's just the movie gave it a bad rep. Bionic' could be a smash, and "LMU" can also, this era will be saved watch, it just got off to a shaky start. Some people sound idiotic scrap, noooooooo for what promote, and get more singles out there, there has'nt really even been an official release for a second single yet so that would be stupid, by the way Blackout still went platinum, Brit did good with Circus, but she only sold about 700 too 800k more than Blackout'. With all of the hype and and successful singles u would've thought that she would have atleast went 3x plat during that era. But her label promotes her kinda sorta when her album drops then idk. Anyway Christina will be fine.

Christina wished she could have an era like Blackout. Exactly. Rihanna and Kelly also had hits off thier albums althought they both underperformed and had better frist weeks. Xtina is in real trouble and anyone who does not admit to that is in denial.

That was a great performance, especially the changes she made at the end. I still can't believe Little Dreamer was not a bonus track on the physical version, at least. One of my favorite songs in her whole catalogue. I think I can now rank her albums as:
1. Back To Basics 2. Bionic 3. Stripped 4. Christina Aguilera
I didn't count the Christmas and Spanish albums but they would be in between the debut and Stripped.

The Weakend Edition of Hits one that gives more as to how much it will sell because it will not be based off of 1 days sales alone. She has MAJOR promo lined up for the whole week so time will only tell what the final outcome will be. Hits has been off lately with album sales (ala Usher and Beiber selling way beyond what was first announced.)

I'm on #TeamStrongerThenEver for the 2nd single. It would never happen though Right now I think Bionic should be the second single. It generated some interest on iTunes (and is currently at #58). However I think My Girls would be the perfect summer smash! But i doubt that would ever happen...

Kelly C is big only in US...Xtina is big worldwide !!!!! Well I have some problems with this statement considering... 1/ The US makes up for most of the English speaking music market. 2/ A few weeks ago Kelly Clarkson rapped up a successful World tour through N America, Africa, Europe, Australia & Asia/Pacific Islands. 3/ Christina just pushed back/canceled her tour.

Definitely her best performance yet this era. I still think that the ballad that they are going to release next is "Lift Me Up", it makes the most sense. I think she is just performing YLM to showcase her voice and the great track . I remember her performing "Impossible" everywhere before the release of "Beautiful".

she just performed Not Myself Tonight on Live with Regis and Kelly. Kind of a waste imo. Clearly this song is done, she should have performed something different: You Lost Me or the second single (if they ever decide on one).

NMT is back in the top 100 on Itunes.The perfomances definitlly helped the song
Kelly Clarkson is popular in Europe but definitlly not as popular as Christina ,Pink and so on....Her biggest European market is the UK(I belive one of the singles from her last album was a number #1 hit there)
