Oh wow, she does look great in those party pictures. Agreed. I don't like the way she's been styled for all of her promo this era. I agree she has been looking a little sloppy, especially when she was on the Today Show. She looks alright on R&K but damn :o she looks good in that other pic! More like that please :)

She looked great at that party last night-I wish she would dress and look like this more often. Like, I hate that EVERY promotional appearance she has made has been in full out album cover over-stylized make-up and hair. She is soooooooooo much prettier when she looks a bit more normal. community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/47820379.htmlShe looks fantastic there. :o

The styling for this era has indeed been very lackluster. Simone for the most part got it right during the B2B era but this time around, I'm just not feelin' most of Christina's looks. Simone seems to be more in tune with Nicole even though it's just a rehash of what Rachel did for her. I must say though that I really don't mind the red lipstick. She has incorporated it in cute ways (clutch, tees, mic stand) and it's becoming something that is synonymous with her so...

It just frustrates me that she can look so incredibly pretty sometimes, but when it comes to promoting her album she literally makes herself look ugly. I think Christina is pretty and I still do, but if I just saw some of her appearances on TV I can understand why people think she is gross. I don't get it-why would you look in the mirror, say hey I could be a 10 today, but maaaaaaaaybe I will just be a 5 instead! Tee hee! Her best looks are random candids over the years where her makeup is understated and her style is normal, but still cute/fashionable. I almost think she has some sort of body dysmorphic disorder because her recent appearance looks have baffled me so much.

I just watched the 12 minute preview of BTM. I dunno. I have always enjoyed her music as a whole but I don't know where this Xtina is a bad ass risk taker persona is coming from. I don't see that in her at all. But if she does well then more power to her.

And 4.6 is really pushing it. 4 million max. It wasn't a flop like people here keep sceeching, but quite a dissapointment coming after the 10 million selling Stripped. Okay, but she did have the top grossing tour by a female artist that year and she won a Grammy. I think twenty years from now Christina will be a respected artist and will still be performing decent venues. I certainly don't think Ke$ha and Katy Perry are going to outlast her in the long run. Cher, for example, has had a zillion flops but here she is 45 years later one of the top concert acts in the world. Plus, there are many ways to look at things. Christina's flops are more successful than 99% of the artists in my ipod.

I think/hope this era will quickly come and go. Also don't think she will receive much radio support no matter what the second single selected is. Radio is very fickle and sometimes unforgiving after a poor performing lead single. And theworst sign of all is the general lack of public interest in Christina. The pop landscape has never seemed so crowded and full of competition to me, as well.

Christina needs Clive Davis. He saved Whitney's last album. She had a great debut without a hit single. Whitney hadn't even a video out or real teeth. In the other hand Christina is so f**kin' pretty. She is the Marilyn Monroe of this generation. Clive and Diane Warren could save her career easily

Cher, for example, has had a zillion flops but here she is 45 years later one of the top concert acts in the world. No. It took her anywhere from 2x as many to 4x as many shows on her Farewell Tour to gross as much money and sell as many tickets (or far less in many cases) as The Rolling Stones, U2, Madonna, Celine, The Police, Bruce, etc. gross/sell on their tours. Not to mention she's not selling out the majority of her Vegas shows.

No one know for sure, but you can't always base your prediction off of digital sales. Physical copies is a much bigger portion of total sales

yeah i know. ^ I meant that digital sales on iTunes predict which album is going to be#1. I havent seen a case in 2010 where the #1 album of the week on iTunes is not the #1 album on Billboard the following week.

I just realized she's behind Eminem now. :( Xtina can end up on #4. Jack Johson usually has small 2nd week sales drop.

I loved Back To Basics. In as much I loved a huge amount of the songs. I split them into two albums though. Took all the throwback/circus stuff called it Back To Basics on my iTunes, then took all the more modern songs and book ended them with the religious-tinged songs and called it 'Mercy On Me'. It plays so much better this way.
I agree with whoever made the point about the styling (that might be everyone), I actually think the look she's really been going for is Blondie/Debbie Harry and it hasn't been all together that successful. She's looked so good in photoshoots/appearances from 2006-2009 and then it all sort of fell apart this year.

I still think she'll end up at #3 but with sales not higher than 110k.
And LOL at @wwxb's post. Bitch would've debuted with 1M first week had she used Clive.

I havent seen a case in 2010 where the #1 album of the week on iTunes is not the #1 album on Billboard the following week. I'm not entirely certain but I think there was one week in November where Carrie Underwood was #1 on BB without being #1 on itunes like I said, I'm not certain though
