It’s common-knowledge that Christina Aguilera‘s ‘Lotus’ campaign has been rocked by many a speed-bump.
Indeed, its lead single ‘Your Body’ was never performed, which led to slow album sales, which ultimately resulted in more media muck being hurled at the singer.
However, it appears several positive facets to the project are beginning to emerge – one being the fact that, as of this week, ‘Your Body’ can officially be deemed a chart-topping Billboard hit.

Over the past year, we at That Grape Juice have turned to the readers for their thoughts on the roles age, race, and even sexuality play in one’s success in the music industry. Now, let’s weigh in on a heavier topic – weight.
Our culture is collectively becoming more stylized, making substance a thing of the past. As image drives the culture, often filling media with airbrushed or digitally altered representations of “beautiful”, the standard of beauty has never been more sought. An anomaly indeed given that statistics have proven most of the people subscribing to those very standards oft do not meet them.
So, what’s the big deal?
Christina Aguilera is beginning to use her biggest asset, The Voice, in his push for new LP ‘Lotus’.
Accompanied by her “team”, the coach rocked tonight’s show with her third performance in two weeks, this time tackling the Max Martin produced ‘Let There Be Love’.

In perhaps her strangest launch campaign yet, Christina Aguilera‘s ‘Lotus’ has been the subject of ample debate as of late.

Fresh from an interesting performance at the American Music Awards last night, Christina Aguilera took front stage center tonight on her home stage of The Voice.
Joined by fellow coach Blake Shelton, the pair performed ‘Just A Fool’ – the second single to be lifted from the diva’s latest opus ‘Lotus’.
Already an iTunes hit, all eyes are on whether Team Xtina can translate the song’s early buzz into a Billboard smash.
So, how did Xtina and Blake fare on their first live outing? The answer awaits below!
