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. Though the album was put on hold due to her filming Burlesque, the era as a whole seems to be rushed. There has been little to no thought process going on and that includes with her styling. I recall Simone talking about the Iamwhoiam campaign when asked by fans if it was Christina, her response was that Christina was not going to look like an Amphibian and that what was to come would be 1000 times better. Mmm Hmm... I too think that Christina is still pretty, her face changed some after she had Max but she is an attrative woman. The overload of makeup has always been her thing and she made mention a few years back in Glamour that it was like a shield for her. I don't mind it for the most part but the excess coupled with the bad outfits can be too much. The emphasis this era seem to be all about black, white and red which is all fine & well if it was done right. Yet at the end of the day, if Christina likes it...I love it. :)

It's weird how Xtina has sustained a relatively large fanbase in the UK. Enough to get her a number 1 album, without a major hit. Whereas someone like Brintey has surprisingly never had a UK number 1 album! It's like wtf?

It's not like the haters go out and buy a thousand copies of every album except for Christina's just so she doesn't have a #1

I was just saying it's weird, 'cause if you ask me, Britney is WAY more popular in the UK, yet has never had a number 1 album, whereas Xtina has just had her second consecutive number 1 album in the UK. I just found it to be an interesting point. Anyways, I'm glad it's done well in the UK. I wonder what the actual sales figures are...

None of britneys album ever sold as much as that in the UK.

I think it feels rushed because they made major changes to it like...recently. It was a finished idea, cd, and concept and then someone got cold feet (Everyone likes to blame Christina 110% but I have a feeling it was multiple influences) so she did a lot of recording and throwing new songs on it as of very recently. Then, I think she is overthinking what she looks like for appearances. If she just threw something on she would look better. But, she probably spends hours recreating the "Bionic" look for every single appearance and even some candids Way too much effort and thought going into something that isn't even flattering to her.

I just found it to be an interesting point. Anyways, I'm glad it's done well in the UK. I wonder what the actual sales figures are... Britney has never been very popular in the UK, her album sales have always been rather underwhelming there. BOMT - 1.2mil OIDIA - 900k Britney - 450k ITZ - 530k Blackout - 275k Circus - 340k Compared to for example Stripped which sold 1.8mil. Even B2B, which underperformed for Christina, sold 530k and yet it was released in a weaker sales environment than ITZ which sold the same amount. Other Comparisons: Beyonce IASF - 1.32mil (Outsold BOMT) Lady Gaga TF + TFM - 2.04mil P!nk Funhouse - 1.0+ mil Rihanna RatedR - 432800 (already outsold Circus) Another reason why Britney has not had a UK number 1 is because her last 4 studio albums were all released in Q4 when the charts are extremely competitive in the UK.

Its because christina releases her album in a less competitive period. look how much #2 albums britney has in the UK. Christina should be getting a #1 in HER country. not battling for a #3 album.

The change of the album is most definitely part of the label's idea as well. They seemed to be in search of more commercial appeal which is why Polow was suggested. Christina claims NMT tied into her playing the character in Burlesque and well not being able to be herself but I'm not buying. It's a possibility that she may very well be overthinking what look she wants to go for. I do find it odd that she consistently talks about her mood boards, pulling inspiration et cetera and the best she came up with is subpar. Yet I do not place all blame on Christina because it is her stylist job to take her vision whatever it may be and pull the very best. Unfortunately, that just doesn't seem to be the situation. Case in point: Oprah! Her very first major public appearance and she looked like she reverted back to the early stages of B2B (Lauper/Granny) meets the Matrix sans pants. *smdh*

Case in point: Oprah! Her very first major public appearance and she looked like she reverted back to the early stages of B2B (Lauper/Granny) meets the Matrix sans pants. *smdh* I agree-the album was finished last year. They were ready to release Bionic as the lead single close to a year ago. She was looking hot in candids and some promo pics that leaked. Then, all of a sudden, it was pushed back and she was thrown into the studio to record....Not Myself Tonight I just cannot really believe Christina herself had a finished cd she loved and then at the last second said NOPE lets push this back and record half a cd of generic radio friendly songs!!! I don't know what is going on with the look. This is honestly the first era that I have truly disliked how she looks for appearances-I was fine with most B2B looks even if they were a bit boring at points. Stripped and her debut had a lot of cute outfits (at least for their time-looking back at late 90s pop fashion for any artist is hilarious now). This era? I am lost LOL. I don't know if she is just trying to achieve something and failing or lost her confidence or got a new stylist. I don't know. Oh well. No matter how much we discuss it or who we blame we cannot go back to a year ago or whatever and change how the era went.

^ These iTunes updates makes me wish Bionic was released as the second official single ... Bionic has gotten the best reaction that I have seen from all of the songs debuted including the ballads. She also looks like she is having so much fun performing it. I think she performs it better than NMT and Woo Hoo. I really wish I could have a time machine and release it instead!
