Finally: Christina Aguilera Confirms New Performances

Prayer most certainly is the key.

Fans of Christina Aguilera have hoped in earnest for news on promotional plans for the singer’s new album, ‘Lotus’. And while relative silence has greeted many of those questions, a new interview and press release has provided an emphatic answer.

Details after the jump…

In a new interview with Access Hollywood, the 31 year old confirmed that she’ll be performing album cut ‘Make The World Move’ on tomorrow’s episode of The Voice with fellow coach Cee-Lo Green. Next month will also see her take to the stage with the show’s other coach Blake Shelton to perform their ‘Lotus’ duet ‘Just A Fool’ – although the exact whereabouts of the stage that showcase will take place on is presently unknown:

COACH CHRISTINA AGUILERA PERFORMS ‘MAKE THE WORLD MOVE’ FEATURING FELLOW COACH CEELO GREEN ON NBC’S ‘The Voice’ LIVE RESULTS SHOW ON NOVEMBER 13

NBC’S ‘The Voice’ WILL FEATURE GUEST ARTISTS 50 CENT, JASON ALDEAN AND RASCAL FLATTS WHO JOIN MUSICIAN COACHES AND THEIR TEAMS FOR LIVE GROUP PERFORMANCES ON NOVEMBER 13, 20 AND 26

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – November 12, 2012 – On the November 13 episode of “The Voice” Live Results Show, Christina Aguilera will hit the stage with fellow musician coach CeeLo Green to perform “Make the World Move.” The song is from her highly anticipated album, “Lotus” which will be released the same day www.itunes.com/lotus.

While a number of things about the album’s promotional push still perplex us, it’s hard to deny that the Voice slot is just what the promo Dr ordered. With almost 15 million viewers tuning into each episode, should even 1.5% of the audience purchase ‘Lotus’, Christina could be in-line for potentially strong first-week numbers. Especially, when also factoring in her much-hyped American Music Awards performance slot on Sunday. The prospect of this almost-perfect synergy makes us so excited that we almost forgive the fact that it’s not ‘Your Body’ that’s she’s performing instead (let’s hope she’s saving that for AMA instead, as opposed to binning it altogether)

What will be particularly interesting, though, is the album’s performance beyond it’s initial week. It appears Team Xtina have that on mind too. For, it has been confirmed that ‘Lotus’ will be retailing for $5 in Walmart in a special Black Friday promotion during its second week on sale. Paired with visits to other LA-based shows (such as Ellen, Kimmel and co), there may just be a plan in place to ensure the album has legs over the Holidays. Anyway, enough of our hypothesis…
