Christina Aguilera Talks ‘Lotus’, Media Portrayal And Mariah Carey For ‘Billboard’

christina aguilera   your body by benassiboy d5egrk0 Christina Aguilera Talks Lotus, Media Portrayal And Mariah Carey For Billboard

For Christina Aguilera fans, the arrival of her new LP ‘Lotus‘ couldn’t come a day too soon, following the explosive launch of its lead single ‘Your Body‘.

Set for release on November 9th, the project took center stage yesterday upon the singer’s arrival at Billboard‘s ‘Film & TV Music Conference’ where she spoke with the company’s edititorial director Bill Werde on anything and everything.

Excerpts from their convo below…

On her purpose in the world:

“Sometimes you just know what you’re placed on this earth to do.”Through my childhood I had sort of a chaotic past and upbringing. Music came as a sort of release and escape. Inevitably, you’re going to stray toward that path. I started out as a wedding singer singing at block parties at 6, 7 years old.

Then came ‘Star Search.’ That was my first big break at 7 years old. Ed McMahon couldn’t say my name right.”

On how she is portrayed in the media:

“It’s hard being such a powerful woman in the business. I’m known for not always being warm and fuzzy, because you’ll just get bulldozed over.

You learn to put up this little protective shield, but it’s because of something. In my music, I come off as being very open about being insecure, vulnerable and sensitive sometimes. Then I’ll go onstage and be this powerhouse force to be reckoned with. It’s all about that balance.

These 6-year-olds weren’t around when I had ‘Genie in a Bottle’ and ‘Fighter’.They are watching me in this big red chair giving advice. There’s a lot of auto tune going on now and that’s all great, it’s an art form. But what’s great about ‘The Voice’ [is that] it’s just raw, real talent.”

On her Linda Perry penned cut ‘Beautiful‘:

“Linda Perry is raw, she’s real and she intimidates a lot of grown men. She’s amazing. I was having a really bad day. I came into her studio. It was at her house at the time. I was working with her on a bunch of stuff. She just kind of sat down at her piano in her dining room and started singing.

Don’t do all that Mariah sh-’ — that was her, not me, I love that sh–!”  she clarified. “But she was like ‘don’t be doing all that acrobatic sh–, just sing!’”

She then went onto explain how ‘Lotus’ differs from earlier releases, sharing:

‘I’m a message girl at the end of the day. Songs like ‘Beautiful,’ songs like ‘Fighter.’ They’re very introverted and can be very vulnerable but empowering. I was tired of singing about fluff and candy and Genie in a Bottle.”

It’s embracing the woman that I’ve grown to be and embracing myself, full circle, as a pop star. Being on ‘The Voice’ has made me realize it. And being face to face with my superstar little popstar team on ‘The Voice’ has been inspiring and inspires me.

It’s made me come full circle and appreciate the journey of the last decade-plus. I chose Lotus because it represents the unbreakable flower that stands the test of time.”

…and this ladies & gentlemen is why we have high hopes for ‘Lotus’.

Though we are a little worried about promo as far as performances go, outings like these are sure to give fans even more of an incentive to pick it up.

Here’s hoping the coming week sees the arrival of a new video and the long awaited ‘Your Body’ live showing.

  • Mariah uses alot of layering, most of those “acrobatics” are done by studio technology

      There’s no software or hardware in the world that can:
      1- Create vocal range out of thin air
      2- Create vocal arrangements out of thin air
      3- Create vocal phrasing out of thin air

      Have several seats bitch. In fact, just get up and leave.

        Stfu. Mooriah has been DONE since the 90′s. She has screamed out all her vocals with her nodules. LOL. Hence the lip syncing. Her fanbase can continue to worship her nonexistent voice in this day in age if they want to. I’m glad others like me can tell the truth. Her voice is not as big as it was in the 90′s. Whitney continues to slay her from the grave, RIP.

    Well, it just proves that Mariah’ LEGENDARY vocal technique has been replicated for the ages.

    Anyway, I’m looking forward to Lotus – I hope its as inspired as ‘Stripped’ but really raw at the same time like ‘B2B’. Go Xtina. ;)

    I hate the RCA are so behind with the promo! She didn’t do 1 performance anywhere yet or really talk and promote the single but I’m happy it’s on BB HOT 100 without that and will climb when she promotes and performs but I think she signed a contract with The Voice to only and 1st perform it on there so she won’t be able to do it now and go on other shows to do it! Her label is not only to blame but her management and HER herself because she runs sh*t too, Adam & Maroon 5 are using The Voice platform to their advantage & Christina is not!. Rihanna, Lady Gaga them all would go around promoting tweeting none stop she should learn to do that and not just release it without doing stuff!

    There’s a line in Joss Stone’s song ‘Write To Be Wrong’ where she sings “I might be singing out of key but it sure feels good to me”. So about her frills and vocal acrobatics she loves it and it feels good to her and ME some won’t love it I love it and she’s just doing her & I LOVE HER FOR IT! #Lotus

  • This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I can’t ever seem to like Xtina. One minuet I can be rooting for her and her album, then she ruins it by talking about Mariah. Xtina you have been talking about Mariah for the past 13+ years you have been in the game. I am wondering if you can ever give an interview without talking about Mariah (she never mentions you, get the memo). We all knew you mimicked Mariah Anyways, good luck with Lotus.

  • Christina is really starting to irritate me.

    Why she continues to bring up Mariah’s name is beyond me. I can never forget the time MC checked her ass for talking shit, when she was the one that showed up to Mariah’s party drunk and unannounced. Don’t f*ck with the queen of shade, and of the greatest singers of all time, Christina.

    For the record, Christina was the biggest Mariah wannabe. She imitated the hell out of Mariah’s vocals.

    Christina couldn’t do what Mariah does vocally if she tried. Stick to growling, and oversinging.

YB 17 million views now on YouTube. Xtina is an artist vocally, visually, and aesthetically. I like Mariah too but sorry her voice sucks now. She slayed in the 90′s. Xtina still got it and can’t wait to hear the album. I thought I’d give xtina some love before the lambs foam at the mouth but too little too late I guess. Heh heh. S/o to xtina being a strong women in this industry.

  • When we come to inspirations ..
    Xtina might be inspired by Man-iah when she was A KID!
    back when Whoriah was successful in the 90′s
    Man-iah (debut) , Whitney and Etta james was her inspations
    After 2000 Man-iah was NO ONE! No one look up to her
    YES, she did have successful album or songs in the 00′s
    BUT being an inspirations? NOPE .. She’s trapped in the 90′s
    She’s a flop and an ugly human .. just like a white monkey, isn’t?
    On the other hands, Xtina continues to be a huge vocal inspiration for many
    That’s why they call her THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION ..

      Forreal. Nobody is here for them thin ass vocals compared to the 90′s where mariah was an unstoppable force next to My queen Whitney. Yes xtina might scream go over the top but it’s still raw and live and good performance unlike lip syncing Mariah. Ooh poor dat. You can’t say Xtina is arrogant and Mariah isn’t. They all have attitudes. That’s the business they are in. Mariah is more of a bitch. Look, she’s acted snobby towards JLO, Eminiem, xtina, and nicki. She really want the world to kiss her ass just cuz of her great voice which she doesn’t have anymore. Gurl bye. I’ll always love whitney better cuz she didn’t act that way towards people and she didn’t do that annoying ass whistle thing.

    • You´re so right. I´m tired of saying Your Body is radio friendly, acceptable for the current climate and retarded generation and pure pop and danceable. It has everything to be a hit… and guess what? It seems it´s not going to be. Not even with that she can do it. She releases some good music so I hope she does well. But comparing such an easy hit (in theory) with a hip hop song with rappers witten by a person who has been writing for more than 20 years non stop doesn´t make sense
      You can´t expect Lana del Rey to do the same numbers as Rihanna on the singles charts if you know what I mean

And if you read my post which I assume you didnt because if you had you wouldnt have felt the need to make this extremely stupid comment, you will see I called out BOTH fan bases. Christina fans do have a tendency to be a bit delusional and Mariah fans are insecure this is the truth. Mariah Fans like to find fault in everything Christina says about Mariah when she isn’t even being negative. Prime example when the post was christina talking about nicki minaj Mariah fans through out that it was instantly shade toward mariah when mariah was not the topic of discussion and started bashing her. That is being insecure. If you know your fave is the head bitch then there is no need to bash other artists to validate that.

We can’t go around talking shit about every other artist I.e. Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, etc…. then get upset when someone even mentions our favorite artist. I am guilty of this as well and I am working on that. I just think everyone needs to chill and breathe. This would be a boring universe if there was only 1 person making music.

      • Thank you for being civil as well. I never had problem with Xtina before all the Mariah Carey name-dropping and her stans’ ignorance got in the way. She wasn’t asked about Mariah in this interview, she just mentioned her on her own. I get tired of every Xtina post being tied to Mariah and then her stans call Mariah nasty names. We all talk about celebrates but one of Xtina’s worst habits is her constant name-dropping of Mariah. She has talked about Mariah since before her debut! Its been over 13+ years, what else does she need to say about Mariah. We get it, you once loved her and still to this day credit her for being your biggest influence, just leave it alone already. Clearly Mariah doesn’t feel strongly for you, hence why she doesn’t talk about you and the awkward moment is when you are still talking about her….13+ years later. Every album, Mariah is mentioned by Xtina. I am tired of it, honestly.

      • @MC As far as the name calling that happens on both ends. I will disagree with you about mariah always being talked about. As far as this situation She was telling a story about Linda Perry that happened to include Mariah. There is nothing wrong with that. I think people are too sensitive and its not that serious. I use to get so upset when people would say negative things about people I liked and I had to realize that it was doing nothing but making me upset and stressing me out. We have to realize that its not that serious Christina doesn’t continue to bring up mariah this is the first post in a long time that has involved Christina saying anything about mariah (which was not even negative) the last post was christina commenting about Nicki and mariah fans took that as christina being shady when it wasnt. I think we all need to just chill.

      • @diob

        Obviously the name calling happens at both ends, even I am guilty of it. Sadly, when I saw the title of this article I wasn’t surprised by it one bit. I just now expect her to bring Mariah into it. I realize that not everyone will like Mariah, but to call Mariah fat, has-been, etc when Xtina herself isn’t skinny and is now talked about because of the exposure from “The Voice”. This site uses Xtina to shade Mariah, so this doesn’t help Xtina one bit. Btw, Xtina talked about Mariah in her last interview with Billboard magazine. She also talked about Mariah in her “Extra” interview. She could avoid all this by saying she would rather not mention Mariah and talk about her work alone. Btw, Xtina has been shady towards Mariah and its evident: for example on one of her interviews she was asked about Mariah she goes on to say “Oh Mariah,….*laughs*…I will say she is a great song writer, I will give her that.” Implying what? Trying to shade her vocals, when she, Xtina, emulated her style for so long? That shit doesn’t sit well with me.

      • Mariah absolutely shades people (see: Madonna) however, she doesn’t shade people without being shaded first. Madonna shaded Mariah in 1995 while Mariah was promoting her album Daydream and since then Mariah has been shading her (I think she stopped a while ago though). I don’t understand Xtina’s problem. She still is a fan of Mariah (she bought her last album + cites her to this day as her influence) but then she goes on to do little digs, I just don’t get her.

  • I don’t know why she shades Mariah, Christina is influenced by Madonna when she is Xtina (and to appear more popular i guess) but the rest is just Mariah, she emulates her a lot, just listen to her song “Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti”, she hits a note in that song that resembles Mariah vocals, she should make a duet with her, i think they would be best friends, both are bitchy, shady and Divas.

    Aguilera’s major influence and idol is blues singer Etta James, whose classic song “At Last” has been covered by Aguilera throughout her career. Aguilera says, “Etta is my all-time favorite singer. I’ve said it for the last seven years – since I had my first debut record out – in every interview. I mean, all of Etta’s old songs, countless songs I could name, I grew up listening to.”[176] Following James’ death in 2012, Aguilera was asked to perform “At Last” at her funeral.[177] Prior to performing Aguilera stated, “There’s a line in this song that says ‘I found a dream that I could speak to.’ And for me that dream, all my life, has been Etta James.”[178] The majority of her album, Back to Basics, pays tribute to James and other pop standard singers who many originated from the 1950s. In her early years she listened to vintage jazz, blues, and soul music.[179] The album included an unreleased song, “Slow Down Baby”, which sampled a Gladys Knight & the Pips song. A review in The Guardian declared, “Practically everything recorded before Aguilera was born blurs into one amorphous genre, which she categorises, somewhat inadequately, as ‘fun music’”.[180] Aguilera said early in her career that Mariah Carey was another influence.[181] According to Pier Dominguez, Aguilera stated that it was Carey who had the biggest influence on her vocal style.[182] Aguilera credited Carey’s “Vision of Love” as the song that inspired her to be a singer, and to try and imitate the melisma she heard Carey deliver in the song.[181] Aguilera has also named Madonna and Janet Jackson as two of her biggest influences “for being re-inventive and being brave as strong females, to explore whatever, even if they do get bad press. It’s just like they were fearless.”[183] Her other musical influences include Aretha Franklin,[184] Whitney Houston,[185] and Nina Simone.[186]

    I’d also like to point out that Etta James was not a techniqually correct singer either but she is still respected.

    Yall find any excuse hide that queentina’s vocal slay…

  • Xtina and every other singer out there wish they could do all that “mariah shit.” Nobody knows how to do it right, which is why they are all accused of oversinging. Mariah’s technique and mastery of melisma is unmatched. Aside from Vision of Love where she goes in on “moooooooooooooooooore” that you turned out to be, I’ve never really considered her an artist that does vocal acrobatics, straining and jumping around all over. She transitions between her ranges effortlessly and at least in the early to mid part of her career she wasn’t shouty nor was it difficult to understand what she is actually saying, unlike xtina.

    Christina at her peak vocally could go toe to toe with Mariah. Today Christina is the better vocalist. Mariah’s vocals have been shot since 2000. Stop living in the past. Hell Patti in her 60′s slays them both vocally. I’m not even a Christina Stan. I think the bitch is way overrated and overall a nasty mean spirited porker bitch. But Christina,beyonce(with her fake ass self),Jennifer,fantasia alot of the Sundays best contestants would sing Mariah back to the 90′s. Also to clear it up Madonna’s non singing ass has sold 100Million more than Mariah. Now don’t get me wrong Mariah deserves respect for her accomplisments but she isn’t god and I dig her. Just not enough to lie about her status now or her shot ass vocals

    • Mariah’s technique alone put her way above those other women. While most of them yelled and screamed, Mariah did what they did with ease. You make no sense. They wouldn’t sing her anywhere. Mariah has delivered tones of amazing performances, in the oughties. Her voice is amazing. Madonna’s sales are very inflated. Her label tends to spew out different numbers. So much of what you are saying is false.

    • and Mariah in her prime, “Vision of Love”and the entire Daydream era, could go toe-to-toe with Whitney.

      Christina cannot in any prime go toe-to-toe with this singers, because from the inception of her career she has over done it, too many runs, shouty, etc. She is a vocal talent I am not going to deny that, but to say in her “prime” she could come close to MC?? Impossible since she has not the range, technique or talent to do so.

    • That’s not true, Madonna is both the best-selling and most successful woman in music history, Madonna is Pop, Mariah is R&B and ballads, there is no way Mariah songs are more played than Madonna, Pop (means, popular, aka: appeal to most people, Most people approve of X (have favorable emotions towards X), and Mariah even with most #1 songs in the billboard 100 than Madonna, still Billboard named Madonna second (behind only The Beatles in their list “Billboard top artists of all time”, don’t get me wrong i have nothing againts Mariah but most of her fans tend to disrespect Madonna, we all agree that Mariah is a good singer blah, blah, blah, what else you want, to Caesar what is Caesar’s.

      • And let’s not talk about songwriting when Madonna has written and co-written her songs from before her first album and produced her songs too, have you ever watch an interview of the producers who works with her?, i guess no, they say she is involved in every step of her albums and that she understands very well the whole process of producing a song, people refuse to give her credits she deserves but it’s okay as a fan i’m used to it but dammit!, if you are going to talk shit about someone at least you can research about what they can do and what they can’t. I never doubted the talent as a singer-songwriter of Mariah.

      • I love how you glance over Mariah’s production (executive) and primary writing for all her songs and albums. You and I both know Mariah is the most successful female artist of all time. Do you think when people introduce Mariah into their shows or whatever they make a mistake every time by saying she is “the most successful female artist of all time”? or when they say “she is the biggest selling female artist of all time”? Get real. Btw, Mariah is not R&B she is primarily Pop with R&B fusion and ballads. She is also not “a good singer” she is songbird supreme, one of the best singers of all time, lets get that straight, okay. You and all Madonna stans forget that Barbara Streisand has sold more records that Mariah and Madonna (conveniently) so Madonna isn’t actually the best selling female either; its just like you claim Madonna’s numbers are not inflated yet Michael Jackson’s are?!?! lol okay suicide! Just like you claim Madonna never shaded Mariah first and never talked badly about Michael. Like all stans (including me) you will take your faves side, next time be armed with receipts babe ;)

      • You are so wrong, first Barbra has sold more records in the US not worldwide and the different is not that much and if you look at Madonna’s sale now, you will see that her numbers are not inflated neither those when she was really in her best days, did i say Mariah is not a good singer?, what do you want a bow, no, Mariah is not the most successful female singer, that’s the true, God!, i speak french or something, I’ve praised her enough, i say i never doubted Mariah abilities as a singer-songwriter, what do you want, you Mariah fans never give credits to Madonna, like it or not, Madonna is the most successful female singer of all times, she is only behind men, The Beatles, Elvis Presley and MJ, for once just admit that she is most successful than Mariah, Albums sales, singles sales, tours, fame and she is her own boss, she was the first female to said, we gonna do the things in my way and about voice, i have never compare her voice to Mariah, i’m not even saying bad things about Mariah voice like others do, i don’t say a bad thing about her, i was just defending Madonna for some crazy Mariah fans, you don’t need to downplay Madonna to make Mariah looks bigger, by the way the time has given the answer to the question about who’s the most successful female singer in music history.

      • Omg!! Fuck you Sam! He just deleted all the shit that I posted! fuck you!

        *blows off steam*

        ____________
        I’ll just summarize, because I am not re-writing ALL that shit again. Basically this is what I said in my deleted post was:
        1.I have always and will always respect and admire Madonna (contrary to your belief).
        2. There are crazy stans in every stan base.
        3. Mariah is not “a good singer blah blah blah” she is songbird supreme
        4. Barabara has indeed sold more records WORLDWIDE than Madonna “Named the best selling female singer of the 20th Century. She has sold more than 68 million records, with 47 Gold, 28 Platinum and 13 Multi-Platinum.” By Billboard
        5.I don’t want you to “bow down to Mariah” no one should, simply asking for PROPER repsect. Madonna is here through her hard work and dedication while Mariah is here becasue of talent only. Madonna is grossing the highest tour of all time….Mariah never had that, she only sang songs and sold 200 million records with that and has $500 million from singing alone.
        6. “y the way the time has given the answer to the question about who’s the most successful female singer in music history.” —– like I said, that’s Barbara. I can show you the website if you like.

        ______________________________________
        Whether I like Madonna or not (I do) she has done A LOT, I want you to realize that Mariah has done a lot too. I always get the vibe you underestimate Mariah’s impact and accomplishments. Btw, Mariah has sold more singles. The only area where Madonna surpasses her is in records (inflated), tours (admirable), top 10 singles, and pop impact (she IS the material girl).

        Suicide, I know I went in hard for Mimi today but I want you to keep in mind that Madonna will always be my top 5 that even if I shade she still remains untouched . (Madonna, Mariha, Whitney, Celine, and Janet).

      • @suicide….madonna beats mariah in sales no doubt but mariah is a more successful musician whether you’ll want to admit it or not…..yes,mimi is a better singer and much better songwriter than madonna and you know it…record sales are not the only determinant for success……madge’s impact on pop culture is almost similar to mj’s though mj sold 450 million records (thats more than double) more than madonna….but mariah has more impact on music than madonna though madonna has more impact on pop culture than mariah……..get it?

  • These stan wars are lame as all hell. Christina greatest vocal influence is Mrs. Cannon just facts on facts if she admits it today or not you tell by her style and how she approachs singing as well as her inspirational songwriting it has some Mimi flare. So Aguilera stans get off your high horse and accept that Mimi has impacted her career as she has done so many others.

    HARD PILL TO SWALLOW

    Dead at Mariah going toe to toe with Whitney. Sorry the lambs are delusional as hell. Whitney from 1983-2000 was damn there untouchable. Whitney at her prime would murder Mariah. Mariah is a one trick pony. The whistle is all she had. Whitney’s power alone would destroy Mariah. Lets not even get into Patti murdering her during their duet.
    @the man bitch you sound really stupid and pressed. Christina,Beyonce,Jennifer,Jessie J,Celine Dion,Fantasia,Faith Evans,Karen Clark Sheard,all the contestants from Sunday’s best>Mariah’s vocals today. Mariah is so overrated its disgusting. The only reason why she ever got big is because she married Tommy. There were tons of better vocalist in the 90′s they just didn’t have the industry connects and pull behind them. Also you stupid shit Its a well known fact that Madonna has sold 100 Million more than Mariah. You sit in a corner and sulk.

        LOL. Ur pressed to fucking count them. Beating a record?? IS IT THAT SERIOUS TO U, LONELY c***?? I don’t ever go onto MC’s posts talking shit about her. I just happen to be on Xtina post where she MENTIONED MC. That’s not the same. Lotta those comments you counted also had nothing to do with MC. I was making a point. AGAIN stay pressed. Haha.

      • REALLY? You have commented 24 times and counting on Mariah post in the past 2 week with a negative comment. #pressehoe I only counted comments you said something bad about Mariah (i.e mooriah, fatriah, truiumpflopant, Xtina is better, etc)

        P.S. you clearly made no point. You made my point that you talk about Mariah more than me (the stan). Who is the pressed bitch that doesn’t care for Mariah, yet mentions her 24 times and counting? oh okay.

  • Mariah went toe to toe with Whitney during their prime. Even Whitney called BeBe Winans, and told him flat out, “That girl can sang!”

    You jackasses act as if Whitney could have destroyed Mariah vocally, when Mariah was a vocal beast and held her own.

    I’ll never understand Whitney fans. You have always been threatened by Mariah, and if you weren’t you wouldn’t feel the need to get so hostile and defensive every time someone states how Mariah was as vocally superior as
    Whitney. Either way, both ladies are in a vocal league of their own, and not even Christina could EVER touch them vocally.

    By the way, Christina spent most of her career trying to master Mariah’s vocal technique and she’ll never be able to sing better than the vocal songbird supreme in this life time.

      Mariah-lip synch
      Xtina whitney-raw and deep.

      And MC don’t have her voice no more so stay mad. Vocally superior? Whitney had full extensive 3 octaves range. Only ability MC had superior that was whistle notes. But that’s rare anyways for singers to master that. I admit, extremely talent. But also tiring and annoying after a while. Whitney was the best, IMO and more powerful if u ever listened to “When you believe” live.

  • Some people did not read the full article. Christina was asked a question on how the song Beautiful came about. she responded with the statements that Linda Perry made about Mariah. People just love to jump to conclusion and are quick to call it shade when its far from it. She said, “she love that sh*t.” She loves Mariah’s singing technic.

  • You guys realize that she’s actually saying she LOVES Mariah. It’s Linda perry who told her not to do the mariah stuff. Christina said “I love that sh*t”

    For God’s sake read the article before you start hating and flaming!!!

  • This blog is shit!!! & trying to Cut the complete interview. unbiased blog my ass!!!!

    this is the uncut comment regarding Mariah Carey

    “The audience applauded, then Christina went on to explain that Perry discouraged her from doing all of the showy vocal stuff.” ‘Don’t do all that Mariah sh-’ — that was her, not me, I love that sh–!” Aguilera clarified. “But she was like ‘don’t be doing all that acrobatic sh–, just sing!’”

    I love Mimi and X-tina. But why does X-tina need to mention Mariah’s name yet again during a new album release?!? Financial gain I guess, hmmm…
