		<description>Kay, let me just say... all these people talking about Rihanna, or Beyonce, any other artist... Is completely irrelevant to anything that needs to be discussed here. We&#039;re talking, why is Bionic doing do badly. Because, if we&#039;re being honest, it is. My personal opinion of the album is that I love it. I think it&#039;s a great piece of work that should be recognized more as a great album, then to be labeled a flop immediately... Before even listening to it. Because that&#039;s what&#039;s happening. No one is giving it a chance, because i&#039;m sure, if they heard a lot of the songs, they would love it. There&#039;s a song on Bionic for everybody because it&#039;s so diverse. It dips into different genres proving Christina&#039;s capability as an artist, and also showing her versatility. Because every genre she&#039;s tried, has worked for her. Even though some haven&#039;t been a commercial success (Bionic, case and point), she still does it a lot better then most.

Now, why it&#039;s a flop. I think that the main reason is all the trash talk circulating about Christina. She&#039;s getting beaten down by the internet and all of these ridiculous comparisons. For example, Perez Hilton (who basically needs to go hide in a cave and never ever come out) who was once friends with Christina, but as soon as she began going on a bit of a commercial decline, he dropped her like a fly and is now bashing her consistently. And because he is a large public figure, with a large audience, they listen to what he says. The fact that he also favors the Gaga fanbase, makes for an even larger audience, basically crushing Bionic into nothing before it was even released. Another reason is the management. They have not done enough to promote this record. Yes, she did do a media blitz the week of its release. But, what did they do overseas? All of the promotion happened in the United states... Who have shown mostly a disinterest in Christina&#039;s talent over the years (Mainly because they are mindless audiences who only care about who&#039;s pretty and who makes those big bangs at the concerts... Not all of course, but most). And what did they do before the record was released other then releasing one single. This album should have had promotion start long before it&#039;s release... not just a month or two. 

Anyways, in the end, I love this album, I love Christina and I will always love her. It doesn&#039;t matter to me that her sales are bad at the moment, because I know she is a powerhouse and has a massive amount of talent. And I know that when I listen to her music, I can escape for a bit, and feel a range of emotions. I can cry, I can dance, I can smile, I can just, forget about all of what i&#039;m sad about in my life, and just listen. And even relate to what she&#039;s singing about.

 I really don&#039;t care what people are saying, because all the haters.. can just go ahead and hate. No one really cares. All it does is put negative energy out there. And if hurting someone through your computer screen makes you feel better, then that is just pathetic, and sad. I feel bad for you I really do. But really, we should all just love who we wanna love, and if we don&#039;t like an artist, then who cares? Don&#039;t listen to them! There&#039;s no need for hate.

Like Christina has said... If you don&#039;t like it, fuck you &lt;3</description>

		<description>OMFG! are you lot gone completely and utterly off the rails. This is the best she has done. I think you lot need to get off this obsession of Lady fucking Gaga and listen to real music. Every song on the Bionic album is ace. Christina is her own artist and does things how she wants it. I love the way she changes her image. I think the only reason Lady Gaga dresses so outrageous is too distract us from all the real talent. This is seriously a stupid convo and shouldnt be even been started. So her album is not selling as well, she still is on top of her game. I think you lot need to seriously get a grip. Drop Lady Gaga is all I say.

Btw you lost me is a awsome second single :D</description>

		<description>Let me just state some facts.

Christina&#039;s comeback single = FLOP

Christina&#039;s comeback album = FLOP

Christina&#039;s second single (Woohoo - which WAS the second single, as verified by RCA themselves. It WAS NOT  a buzztrack) = FLOP

Christina&#039;s THIRD single - YLM = already a flop on radio, and isn&#039;t even in the top 400 on iTunes

I&#039;m not surprised that this has happened. Christina was always so happy to chat mess about other - more successful - artists, and this is the result. Karma is a bitch and the only reason she cancelled her projected summer tour is that they knew it would BOMB. For all those Christina stans discussing Rih&#039;s tour cancellations, fair enough she cancelled quite a few (and it&#039;s 7 so far) and she&#039;s not as talented as Chris (that&#039;s just a fact, not an opinion), but Chris&#039; tour would have BOMBED - that&#039;s more than obvious. Any excuses she and her label have given are just that - excuses. 


Those at the top never throw shade at others - which is part of the reason B, Brit and Gaga are on top right now. As Sam mentioned, it&#039;s time Christina ate some humble pie.


That is all.</description>

		<description>&quot;Whatever, when she tried to do torchy and jazzy on Back to Basics, people ignored her too.&quot;

So 5 million copies of B2B just mysteriously flew off the shelves... interesting. I&#039;m learning something new here.</description>

The bottom line is that she&#039;s never been a huge star, just an industry puppet.  Her vain attempts to be anything more fall flat because people can see right through that.  She&#039;s over.</description>

		<description>People need to chill out. The article in the Post is COMPLETELY wrong.  This album is X-Tina&#039;s vision and fruit of her labor. There are no other factors except it is uniquely Christina.

The NY Post (not know for journalistic integrity) &quot;assumes&quot; lots but can&#039;t verify anything.

So, if you&#039;re a fan, buy and support the artist, if you&#039;re a hater, you&#039;ll always be a hater.

Either you like the vocalist, or you like a song (and/or by the artist).  A record company rarely puts music on an album without the artist&#039;s consent, because the artist won&#039;t support it (touring/radio, etc.).  They will try their best to get the best music on (as they do have a financial investment to sell), so they don&#039;t go out of their way to put out bad records (Big Boi&#039;s last LP on Uni for instance 60K first week, out of top 15 2nd week).</description>
